We’ve all grown up with classes in video games. Whether it’s from those endless D&D campaigns or hours spent grinding in classic MMOs, we’re used to picking our role, locking it in, and sticking with it throughout the entirety of that game.
So when a game like Throne and Liberty comes along and shakes things up a little bit, you can’t help but wonder, “Wait, that’s not how it’s supposed to be!”
How Classes works in Throne and Liberty
So, when you first check out this game, yeah, you’ll see builds with swords, spells, or ranged weapons—pretty much the usual stuff you’d find in any traditional RPG fantasy MMO.
But, once you dig a little deeper, you’ll notice something diffrent. Which is you’re not stuck picking a class when you create your character, unlike those other RPGs.
Yep, There’s no need to sweat over whether you want to be a Warrior or a Mage right out of the gate.
You can switch it up as you play. For example you can still build out a classic Warrior or Mage setup, but Throne and Liberty gives you the freedom to dual-wield two weapons at a time.
But, What’s the Catch?
Yes, there is a a catch and As awesome as the freedom sounds, there’s a little strategy involved.
Your weapons up in certain weapons will depend on how much you use them. So, if you keep leaning on that sword-and-shield combo, your backup magic skills might start gathering dust.
After reaching level 25, You’ll start earning specialization points to beef up your weapons.
So, while the game lets you switch things up, you don’t want to waste points on every single thing you see.
Throne and Liberty Classes
For simplicity’s sake, let’s break down the traditional class types you’ll likely fall into, along with the weapons you’ll need to make it happen:
Warrior
- Weapons: Sword and Shield, Greatsword
- Role: Tank
- Strengths: Crowd control, melee combat
- Why Pick This?: If you like to get up close and personal with enemies and absorb damage like a sponge, this is your jam.
Ranger
- Weapons: Bows, Crossbows
- Role: Crowd control
- Strengths: Ranged attacks, traps
- Why Pick This?: If you’re the type to sit back and snipe from a distance while others take the heat, you’ll feel right at home here.
Mage
- Weapons: Staff, Wand
- Role: Support
- Strengths: All the Spells, debuffs, Area of Effect attacks.
- Why Pick This?: If you love throwing fireballs or freezing enemies in their tracks? This one’s for you.
Assassin
- Weapons: Daggers, Dual Blades
- Role: Stealth damage
- Strengths: Stealth, agility
- Why Pick This?: If sneaking up behind enemies and delivering high damage in quick bursts is your style, the Assassin life might call your name.
What Class Should You Start With?
If you’re just dipping your toes into Throne and Liberty, I’d say start off with the Warrior.
It’s a solid class to learn the ropes, and you’ll get a feel for how the combat scales.
But if you’re like me and prefer to stay at a safe distance, the Mage is a fantastic option.
That being said, if you’re looking at the current meta, the Ranger might not be the best starting pick.
It’s not bad, but in terms of ease of use, the other classes shine a bit brighter
However, as i mentioned before, in this game you don’t have to stress about picking the “wrong” class.
You can switch whenever you want, so feel free to experiment early on without having to commit.
