Thundercry Blade and Stormbreaker Spear
| Build Info | |
|---|---|
| Weapons | Pros and Cons |
 Thundercry Blade
|
 High Durability High Single Hit Bursts  Slow movement and attacks |
 Stormbreaker Spear
|
|
| PvE Ranking | PvP Ranking |
 Heavy-hitting, tanky setup that reduces incoming damage and boosts enemy damage taken. Excels in multiplayer but slow and lacks solo sustain. |
Crowd control immunity, can apply CC, block damage, and close gaps while negating damage. |
Thundercry Blade and Stormbreaker Spear is great for tanking because the Blade delivers big, charged hits that stagger enemies and generate defensive outs (shields/guard windows), while the Spear brings damage-reduction, threat generation, and crowd-control to anchor fights.
Together they let you soak punishment, lock down priority targets, and punish anyone who tries to break the line. The idea is that you absorb and mitigate damage with the Spear, then retaliate with Blade burst to keep foes off your squishies!
Thundercry Blade and Stormbreaker Spear Build
Thundercry Blade and Soulshade Umbrella
| Build Info | |
|---|---|
| Weapons | Pros and Cons |
|
Thundercry Blade
|
Has Healing to Sustain Its Own Tanking Can use shields to reduce damage taken Lose Ability to Taunt which is bad for co-op |
 Soulshade Umbrella
|
|
| PvE Ranking | PvP Ranking |
 Solo-focused tank build that uses passive healing to safely charge Thundercry Blade attacks, letting you group enemies and unleash strong burst or AoE damage.. |
 Damage, CC immunity, and healing; lacks mobility and gap-closing but can be effective if fighting against multiple players. |
Thundercry Blade and Soulshade Umbrella is strong for tanking and self-sustain because it pairs big damage mitigation and shields with constant passive healing, letting you stay in the thick of fights longer than most builds.
The Thundercry Blade gives you shields and Fortitude while you charge big hits, and the Soulshade Umbrella’s airborne healing keeps your HP topped up as you soak damage, basically turning you into a bruiser who doesn't need to back off to recover.
