Best weapon types for Throne and Liberty beginners, ranked

In the unique weapon type system of Throne and Liberty, some are best for beginners and others are far more complicated. The weapon you choose to wield greatly dictates how you will play and may require both heavy time and resource investment. Due to this, new players must know which weapon will be best for them to choose as their starter.

Since Throne and Liberty has no classes in their game, almost every ability your character has is based on their weapon. Some require rather precise aim or timing, while others are much more relaxed in their style of play. The one that is best for you will depend on your preference, skill, and desired role in a party.

Best beginner weapons for Throne and Liberty

1) Greatsword

The Greatsword is the best weapon for a beginner in the free-to-play MMO Throne and Liberty. This two-handed sword requires very little precision in its attacks, being able to even pull off a classic spinning ability for huge damage. It also doesn't require you to hold aggro or support allies while in group content, meaning you can focus on doing damage exclusively.

The greatswords specialty is slow, hard-hitting AOE attacks that often involve slamming the massive blade down onto a group of mobs. This makes it good in both group and solo content, at any level in Throne and Liberty since you can solo several enemies easily with it. Fans of typical Warrior or Bruiser-style classes in more traditional MMOs will probably gravitate toward this playstyle.

If you're new to the genre or even new to gaming as a whole, the Greatsword might be your ideal choice for getting used to the combat of Throne and Liberty.

2) Staff

Those who love destructive mage-style combat should try Staff (Image via NCSoft || Throne and Liberty FAN)

Another pure DPS weapon type, the Staff is our second pick of best for beginners. The Staff lets you harness the power of natural elements to use against your enemies. With this equipped you can channel abilities that center around fire, ice, earth, and lightning into powerful attacks.

This class has incredible AOE potential and also several tools to keep enemies away from you while you batter them from a distance. It shines particularly when playing with others, as you can freely cast against enemies while teammates take aggro. Those who are fans of more traditional Mage or Warlock classes will want to try this out beginner or not.

If you're the kind of player who prefers playing safely from the backlines while dealing massive damage, then the Staff is probably the weapon for you.

3) Wand and Tome

The most support heavy weapon in the game is the Wand (Image via NCSoft || Throne and Liberty FAN)

The only support-focused weapon on our list is the Wand and Tome, ranked as our third-best option for beginners. The Wand has very little DPS capability compared to the others, but what it lacks in damage it makes up for in support ability.

The Wand and Tome user can heal allies around themself and also apply attack buffs. These buffs will make their teammates much more potent in combat, keeping the support players safe by taking out enemies faster. You can also provide direct heals to players around you and apply a powerful debuff to enemies, which will make them weaker. Those who enjoy classic pure healers in MMOs, such as priest classes, will probably go for this first.

Anyone who wants to rely on teammates in fighting while they play back and keep the battlefield controlled will want to try the Wand and Tome.
