Important takeaways
- Longbow is versatile, good for support and DPS builds with healing and mana recovery.
- Try all weapon combos early, Longbow + Wand and Tome excel in healing support.
- Longbow + Crossbow offers a long-range artillery playstyle at the cost of mobility, while Longbow + Staff is best for large-scale PvP.
Throne and Liberty offers many different types of weapons. The Longbow is seen as one of the two main choices for players looking to play a support, the other being Wand and Tome. But Longbow is also good in many DPS builds thanks to its easy access to both healing and mana recovery.

Throne and Liberty: How to level up fast
Maxing out early in Thrones and Liberty means getting to experience the engaging and exciting endgame content.
Players looking to pursue a more damage-focused ranged option may want to look to the staff or crossbow, but these will offer a different experience than the builds that use the longbow. It's best to try all weapon combinations early in the game before players start investing heavily in their chosen two weapons.

Longbow + sword and shield
- Primary state: Skill and Strength
- Difficulty to master: Moderate
When a player rolls skills from the Sword and Shield weapon into their build, they will experience a spike in how tanky their character will be. The longbow also provides self-healing and mana regeneration for a character with high survivability.
There are easier classes to play, and this gives an otherwise melee option plenty of range and durability. This class works especially well in a group of other players. The sword and shield is a great weapon to pair with any other weapon when making a tank. Almost all of the best tank builds in the game will use the sword and shield as a weapon of choice.

Longbow + Crossbow
- Primary state: Dexterity & Perception
- Difficulty to Master: Easy
The Longbow and Crossbow are two great long-range weapons that work even better together. Crossbow has tons of amazing skills such as Mother Nature's protest and Mana Exchange which allows for great synergy with the Longbow to create an artillery playstyle. Players won't have much mobility, so they'll need to know where to run when things get dangerous – as this is a notoriously glassy build.
Players will stand their ground and rain down massive amounts of damage wherever their frontline allies need it. Players looking to take their ranged DPS to a whole new level should consider playing a Scorpion. This is a very difficult build to use optimally but will perform incredibly well in PvP game modes.

Longbow + Wand and Tome
- Primary state: Wisdom
- Difficulty to master: Moderate
This build combines two of the best healing weapons into one of the best healing options in the game. This build offers tons of buffs to its allies, as well as healing for every situation. Each stat has an important role to play, and players will want to invest heavily in Wisdom.

Throne And Liberty: Amitoi Expeditions Guide
Sometimes a mission tells you where to go, but not how to get there. Such is the case for Amitoi House in Throne and Liberty.
This construction has several shortcomings. It has low damage output, low movement, and is vitreous. This means players will want to have all the aggro on their allies, while acting as rear support. For all its flaws, Seeker remains one of the best support choices within Throne and Liberty.
4 Ranger
Longbow + Greatsword
- Primary state: Skill and Strength
- Difficulty to master: Moderate
Players who want to do a lot of damage and heal up afterwards might want to look to the Ranger. The ranger doesn't have as much defense as other melee-focused builds, but the longbow provides self-healing and mana recovery.
This can allow them to charge in, dish out massive burst damage, and then recover while reading for the next assault. This build does offer an area of effect on crowd control, but not much AoE damage, so it's best to focus on a single target at a time.
5 Infiltrator
Longbow + Daggers
- Primary state: Dexterity & Perception
- Difficulty to Master: Easy
Players looking to sharpen their critical hit game will want to throw Daggers into the mix. Daggers will provide lots of evasion and mobility, which balances out how glassy the build will be.

Throne And Liberty: 7 Best Guardians for PvP, Ranked
Guardians in Throne of Liberty can also come in handy in PVP, but not all are equally viable. Here's which one to choose.
Players will be able to dish out massive single target damage and then move, or continuously dish out damage behind the safety of their allies. Players can also use their Longbow skills to help patch up allies and act as a utility healer when not acting as a DPS. This allows the build to be incredibly versatile to help finish off enemies and patch up allies on the fringe while remaining mobile.
6 Liberator
Longbow + Staff
- Primary state: Skill and Strength
- Difficulty to master: Moderate
Another option for playing an artillery playstyle is to pair a Staff's skills together with the Longbow. Players can deal continuous damage to support their allies as a DPS, but they won't be able to take much damage. This is also a build that won't have as much of a safety net, so they'll always want a way to fall back on or for their allies to act as a buffer between them and their enemies.
The Liberator is a class that doesn't do very well in small-scale PvP or PvE, but it excels incredibly well in large-scale PvP, also known as Guild vs. Guild — which includes game modes like Castle Siege.
