This build is up to date for the September 23, 2025 patch.
Overview
This Longbow and Dagger build is designed for solo PvP but it also does very well in small scale PvP. With it's straightforward playstyle, it's the perfect build for new players as it is quite easy to play once you've mastered it's rotations. With its high damage potential and oppressive CCs, this build controls any fight and if played correctly, can win versus all matchups in the game.

Wisdom
With the unique stats and attributes system in Throne and Liberty, it can be difficult to determine exactly where to invest your attribute points at each stage of the game. This is because gear pieces provide attributes just like leveling up does, meaning everyone will have a different number of attribute points depending on what gear they are wearing at the time.
Given this variation, it's best to reset your attributes regularly to adjust to the new gear you acquire. Aim to reach the achievement effects, which provide extra benefits at milestones like 30, 50, and 70 points.
In order to maximizing your damage potential, invest most points into Dexterity and Perception, aiming to push them first as they offer much needed hit rate and critical hit rate along with flat damage. You should also improve your Strength in order to improve your survivability, 30 is a good breakpoint to reach if it doesn't take too much. Meanwhile, Wisdom can be left for last or be ignored entirely.
Skills
Your main burst ranged damage is provided by 
Strafing, 
Zephyr's Nock and 
Decisive Sniping, these are the first skills you should level alongside 
Ensnaring Arrow. 
Healing Touch is your main, and very useful healing ability, allowing you to stay in fights or recover quickly after a fight and should have priority in leveling over 
Flash Arrow that also heals but not nearly as much, its main use being the high AOE damage.
Do not forget your melee rotation as 
Cleaving Moonlight and 
Brutal Incision have high damage in melee range. 
Shadow Strike is your main CC and is perfect for setting up your melee rotation as it binds and silences targets.
Wrathful Edge, 
Assassin's Instincts are your main damage increasing passives as they increase crit rate and crit damage while 
Devoted Shield and 
Shadow Walker are great defensive choices!

Weapon Masteries

You should be aiming to reach and unlock masteries (the corner nodes) as soon as possible as they usually make the largest impact in the build. While minor nodes shouldn't be forgotten, make sure to unlock masteries as fast as possible before spreading out and spending into less important nodes.

Rotations
- This is your main damage rotation before you transition into melee rotation. Use Ensnaring Arrow to root the target and make use of
Steady Aim before using Decisive Sniping to deal high damage while also increasing your critical hit rate.
- Finish the rotation with Strafing (as many times as you can proc it) to apply both Gale & Target debuffs to the enemy before using Zephyr's Nock to deal high damage once again.
- While this rotation isn't as powerful as the Ranged Rotation, you want to follow up with this rotation after you've done the ranged one and you need extra damage on the target. You can still use this rotation on its own as its still very potent!
- Start by using Shadow Strike to bind and silence the enemy so you can transition into proning them with
Ankle Strike. Do damage with Cleaving Moonlight two times before using Brutal Incision to deal high damage. From here on, you can follow up with Ensnaring Arrow and transition into the ranged rotation too.
Camouflage Cloak: This ability acts as your escape route. Trigger it when you're being targeted or require a change in position. It can also aid in resetting the fight and cooldowns after scoring a kill. There are many ways to use stealth though, so don't hesitate to experiment!
Healing Touch: Use this skill to heal yourself throughout a fight and try to keep 3 stacks of it on yourself at all times. Can also be used between respawns in Dominion events or to help friendly players. Keep in mind that letting this expire will also apply a good burst heal on yourself.
Flash Arrow: Use this to flush out stealth enemies, taking them out of stealth and stunning them in order to get an easy kill.
Useful Information
- Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides crucial protection with its shield, which can absorb damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only helps mitigate damage but also speeds up your cooldowns, allowing you to use your abilities more often.
