Earth Virtue Tank PvE Build Best Weapons

Melee Weapons

Hundred-Forged Sabres	Weapon Overview
	Type: Dual Sabres Base Attack: 48 Special Effects: Alliance Spirit Defense 24
Heavy Cavalry Spear	Weapon Overview
	Type: Spear Base Attack: 91 Special Effects: Damage Bonus (Heavy Equip Load) A

The Hundred-Forged Sabres weapon scales with Earth extremely well and is a good light weapon to use, especially when enemies have very fast movesets that large weapons can't keep up with.

The Heavy Cavalry Spear on the other hand, has much higher damage and will be your main damage-dealer, especially since it scales with Earth fantastically.

While you're still working to obtain these weapons, a Polearm Podao or a Bronze Halberd would be ideal early-to-mid-game weapons.

Ranged Weapons

Bamboo Bow	Weapon Overview
	Type: Bow Base Attack: 37 Special Effects: Bow Spirit Damage 7.10%
Tiger Hunting Bow	Weapon Overview
	Type: Bow Base Attack: 40 Special Effects: -- Set Bonus: Inheritor of the Tiger

Ranged combat isn't this build's specialty, so choose whichever bow works for you. However, we recommend the Bamboo Bow for its extra Spirit Damage and the Tiger Hunting Bow for its superior set bonuses, which add to your attack damage.

How to Play

Use Lion's Roar to Aggro Enemies

At the onset of battle, use Lion's Roar to get all enemies' attention. Try to maintain this aggro to let your party members destroy the enemy from behind.

Deflect Easy Attacks and Block the Rest

Blocking too much will bring down your Spirit fast, so make sure to get used to deflecting in order to parry all easy attacks and all critical blows. Only block when attacks are difficult to parry, like multi-hit combos, and swift attacks that don't have a predictable telegraph.

Boost Defense with Spells

Rock Toughness and Illusionary Shell are there to increase your defense for longer battles, like bosses. Use these occasionally to keep your survivability up.
