Active Skills Explantion

DaVinci's Courage, Counter Barrier, Stalwart Bastion, and Immortal Pride (Blessing of Immortality) are the build's tanking skills as they increase HP, Health Regen, Shield Block Chance, Damage Reduction, and grants a hefty shield. In particular DaVinci's Courage and Stalwart Bastion also affects allies.

Stunning Blow, Strategic Rush, and Chain Hook provides a variety of crowd control skills. They're mainly used to control the battle and allow the other party members to follow up with their own skills.

Valiant Brawl, Willbreaker, Shield Strike (Piercing Attack), and Guillotine Blade are the build's primary damage skills. In particular, Willbreaker and Shield Strike (Piercing Attack) inflicts Weaken to opponents, decreasing both their defenses and hit.

Focus on leveling up DaVinci's Courage and Stalwart Bastion since they affect the entire party when used. The rest can be prioritized based on preference.

Passive Skills Explanation

Robust Constitution, Impenetrable, and Indomitable Armor are the key passives for the build since they improve durability.

Vital Force provides some damage and works well with the build's high HP as its effect depends on Max Health.

Skillful Evasion increases Magic and Ranged evasion and is directly linked to Gerad's Patience and Resilient Mind since they trigger upon evasion. These three makes it even harder for opponents to deal damage.

Focus on leveling up Vital Force and Robust Constitution first as they provide a good balance of durability and damage, then go for Indomitable Armor and Impenetrable. The rest can be prioritized based on preference.

Best Guardian
Green Ranger ElowenGreen Ranger Elowen On Summoning, has an 80% chance to Bind all enemies in a 4m radius for 5s. While Summoned, attacking any targets affected by Bind and Movement Speed Reduction will increase Magic, Melee, and Ranged Critical Hit Chance by 500.

In PVP scenarios, every second of CC you dole out is crucial. Upon getting up close to individuals or groups, utilize Green Ranger Elowen's 4m radius wide bind to keep enemies in their place. While binding enemies with Elowen, you can also chain more CC after the initial duration.

You will also gain increased chances of hitting criticals on enemies that are bound or have their movement reduced, meaning you will be rewarded by naturally doing what your role in PVP entails!

How to Play Greatsword / Sword and Shield Build

Note: If the skills icons are confusing, some of the skill icons indicated here are using their specialized variants.

Hook-Stun Setup

Chain Hook Willbreaker Stunning Blow Guillotine Blade (Optional) or Cruel Smite (Optional) or Piercing Attack (Optional)

This is primarily a single-target CC combo that's effective in setting up kills for the party. Chain Hook will pull an enemy close to melee range, which then allows Willbreaker to hit and Stunning Blow to stun the target.

Using Guillotine Blade after Stunning Blow increases its damage via Stunning Blow's Additional Damage Boost specialization, dealing massive damage, although, it's entirely optional. Curel Smite or Piercing Attack can also be used after Stunning Blow as an alternative.

Party Sustain Skill Rotation

DaVinci Stalwart Bastion Blessing of Immortality Devoted Sanctuary

This skill rotation is for sustaining the party. Starting with DaVinci's Courage will instantly heal the party, and increase their health regen and attack speed. Following up with Stalwart Bastion provides the party with durability via damage reduction while Blessing of Immortality generates a shield that's based on max HP for them. Finally, Devoted Sanctuary offers more tanking for the party.
