In Throne of Liberty, stats are the foundation of building a successful character, whether you’re tackling PVE content or competing in PVP. With millions of different stat combinations, understanding how each one works is crucial for maximizing your performance. This guide will break down each stat in the game, explain its function, and offer insights into how to optimize your build. We’ll keep it simple, but if you want more in-depth explanations, check out the linked videos for deeper dives into specific stats.

1. Base Damage: The Foundation of Your Abilities

Base damage is the core stat for all your skills in Throne of Liberty, whether you’re using healing abilities, DPS attacks, or defensive shields. When you activate an ability, the game calculates a value between your minimum and maximum base damage, which then determines how much damage you deal, how much you heal, or how much you shield. This stat is the baseline for everything you do in the game, so understanding it and prioritizing it will boost your effectiveness in combat. For instance, if your focused firebombs have 510 base damage, that number will directly influence how much damage the ability deals.

2. Attack Speed: Boosting Your Combos

Attack speed plays a vital role in reducing the animation time of your abilities. If you’re using an ability like the serial firebombs, attack speed will decrease the time it takes to charge and throw each Firebolt. This stat speeds up all attacks, whether they are instant or chargeable. A higher attack speed means faster combos and more attacks within the same timeframe, making it essential for optimizing your overall DPS.

3. Range: Impacting Your Ability’s Reach

Range is a stat that influences not only how far you can cast ranged abilities but also how far you can be from your target while using melee abilities. Skills like Judgment Lightning or the Guillotine are affected by range, with a higher range allowing you to stay farther from your enemies without losing effectiveness. For area-of-effect (AOE) abilities, range increases the radius, making your attacks more impactful. For most abilities, a higher range gives you more flexibility in positioning during combat.

4. Shield Block Chance: The Key to Tanking

For sword and shield users, Shield Block Chance is the ultimate defensive stat. This stat gives you a chance to block incoming damage by up to 40%. For example, if you’re hit with 1,000 damage, a successful shield block will reduce it to 600 damage. However, the catch is that you must have your sword and shield equipped in your primary hand at the time of the hit. If you’re using another weapon or ability that requires a different hand, you won’t be able to block the damage. Shield block penetration chance is the counter stat, which reduces the chance of your shield blocking damage, making it an important stat for opponents to stack against tanks.

5. Offhand Weapon Chance: Doubling Your Damage

Offhand Weapon Chance is relevant for weapons like daggers and crossbows. This stat gives you a chance to trigger a secondary hit with your offhand weapon, allowing you to deal double damage. For example, when using Brutal Incisionwith daggers, the offhand chance will allow the ability to trigger twice—once with your right dagger and again with your left dagger. This can significantly increase your overall damage output, making it an essential stat for dual-wielding characters.

6. Defense: Reducing Incoming Damage

Defense is a straightforward stat that reduces the incoming damage you take. For example, if you have 1,700 melee defense, you will reduce melee damage by about 40%. However, be mindful of diminishing returns—after reaching a certain point, adding more defense won’t have as much of an impact. Defense is a critical stat for tanks but is also useful for any character looking to increase their survivability in both PVE and PVP.

7. Hit Chance and Evasion: Avoiding and Landing Attacks

Hit chance and evasion are two stats that work hand in hand. Evasion allows you to completely avoid an enemy’s attack, including any debuffs or CC effects that might come with it. Hit chance, on the other hand, increases the likelihood that an enemy can land their attacks on you. If your opponent has a higher hit chance than your evasion, your evasion will be nullified. Understanding how these stats interact is crucial for building a character that can avoid damage and debuffs in PVP.

8. Endurance and Critical Hit Chance: Staying Resilient

Endurance and critical hit chance are tied together—endurance reduces the chance of your opponent landing critical hits on you, while critical hit chance increases your likelihood of landing crits. If your opponent has more endurance than you have critical hit chance, you won’t be able to crit them at all. Endurance is a great stat to stack if you want to ensure that your opponent’s crits don’t devastate you, while crit chance is key for maximizing your damage output.

9. Critical Damage Resistance: Mitigating Big Hits

Critical damage resistance reduces the damage from critical hits you take, making it an essential stat for mitigating damage from opponents who rely on critical hits. If you’re facing an enemy with a high crit chance, stacking this stat can help reduce the impact of their heavy hits. It works as the counterpart to critical damage, which increases the damage of your own crits.

10. Heavy Attack Chance: Doubling Your Damage Output

Heavy attack chance gives you the opportunity to double your damage with certain abilities. For example, when using Judgment Lightning, if it triggers a heavy attack, you will see the damage number double. This stat is incredibly powerful for abilities that already deal high damage, as it can significantly increase your output.

11. Buff and Debuff Duration: Extending or Reducing Effects

Buff duration increases how long your positive buffs last, while debuff duration reduces the length of negative effects from enemies. Buff duration can be especially useful if you’re stacking multiple buffs, such as Victory Energy or Enchanting Time. Debuff duration is equally important, as it reduces the effects of harmful debuffs like Healing Reduction or stuns. However, debuff duration has diminishing returns, so it’s best not to focus on it too heavily.

12. Cooldown Speed: Reducing Wait Time for Your Abilities

Cooldown speed reduces the time it takes for your abilities to recharge, allowing you to use them more frequently. While this stat is incredibly useful, it also suffers from diminishing returns, meaning that after a certain threshold, adding more cooldown reduction won’t be as effective. Still, it’s an important stat for players who want to increase their ability uptime.

13. Bonus Damage and Damage Reduction: Enhancing or Mitigating Damage

Bonus damage adds extra damage to each hit, while damage reduction helps you reduce the damage you take. For classes that generate multiple hits per ability, such as crossbows, bonus damage is a great stat to stack. On the other hand, damage reduction is more effective against enemies who land fewer but harder hits. Neither stat affects damage over time (DoT) effects.

14. Base Stats: Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, Perception, and Fortitude

Each base stat in Throne of Liberty influences different aspects of your character’s abilities:

• Strength: Increases base damage and influences defensive stats like max HP.
• Dexterity: Boosts critical chance, attack speed, and evasion.
• Wisdom: Enhances max mana, mana regeneration, and cooldown speed.
• Perception: Improves hit chance, CC chance, and buff duration.
• Fortitude: Focuses on endurance and resistances.

Allocating your base stats effectively is essential for optimizing your build. Each class benefits from different base stat distributions, so consider your role in the team when distributing your points.
