Throne and Liberty Fury Attack is one of the few special abilities/skills that can be used in-game. As the name suggests, Fury Attack is powerful and can deal considerable damage upon making contact. But there's more to this than it merely being a hack-and-slash combination.
The following section dives into all you should know about the Throne and Liberty Fury Attack mechanics.
What are Fury Attacks in Throne and Liberty
Fury Attacks are more powerful than regular attacks. They can and will inflict different effects upon contact such as stun or deal damage over time. While fighting enemies, you will often encounter Fury Attacks. A warning will be given when one is about to be unleashed, giving you time to respond accordingly.
This is showcased in the form of a bright purple circle. Pay attention to this indicator to either dodge or block the incoming Throne and Liberty Fury Attack. If you are unsure of blocking, getting out of the way, is perhaps the better idea. This is because you will need at least 35% stamina to block a Fury Attack. As mentioned, if you're not confident or will not be able to time it correctly, dodging is probably better.
How to defend against Fury Attacks in Throne and Liberty?
The best possible way to defend against a Fury Attack is by activating your defensive skill when the purple circle overlaps with the smaller purple circle. You'll need to time this perfectly, or else you will take damage. When dealing with lower-difficulty enemies, moving out of the way is more effective. However, with high-level monsters, it is better to try and block.
It will take some time to master given that you have the block has to be activated just before the enemy attacks you. If you are new to this style of combat, it's fair to say that you will take a few hits before you learn how to execute a perfect block. There is no way to get good at this other than practice. So don't be afraid of the Throne and Liberty Fury Attack mechanics. Learn to time your blocks perfectly.
Here are a few quick tips to help you understand how to defend against Throne and Liberty Fury Attacks:
- Block early - Blocking early may not be the best option, but it is better than blocking late. You will not be able to block out all the damage being dealt by the Fury Attack, but it will be significantly lower than not blocking at all or blocking late. If you have ping issues or slow reflexes, blocking early should be your top priority.
- Counterattack - Throne and Liberty Fury Attacks deal damage, but they can be countered as well after blocking. If you're quick on the draw and can time things perfectly, you can block, and counter the attack dealing damage to your opponent. Make use of this mechanic to end the fight quickly.
- Greatswords are great at defending - Greatswords are amazing at blocking Fury Attacks. They also have an 80% chance to stun the attack target. If your timing is right, you can take advantage of this mechanic to stun and counterattack with ease.
Throne and Liberty Fury Attack types explained
There are two types of Fury Attacks in Throne and Liberty: Stationary and Rolling. Since the execution of both these varies, you will need to adapt to defend against them. Let's break down the Throne and Liberty Fury Attack types:
Stationary Fury Attack
Stationary Fury Attacks in Throne and Liberty can best be classified as attacks you can either block while being stationary or dodge. Blocking does have its benefits, but dodging works as well. It's up to you, and how you'd want to approach the situation.
Rolling Fury Attack

To summarize
Throne and Liberty Fury Attack mechanics might seem a bit complex, but it's just a matter of practice. Once you get the timing right, blocking or dodging Fury Attacks is going to become second nature. At times, in the heat of battle, you will take sustained damage, and that's fine.
