Throne and Liberty announced the arrival of a new weapon, the Spear. This new versatile weapon will be the eighth weapon in the MMORPG and will be released globally in all regions on December 5.
The Spear is great for crowd control and offers high mobility, fast combo attacks, and an exclusive Ember mechanic, which is a resource for activating certain abilities. Ir has cool debufs too, strong AoE damage and even some long-range skills through throwing your spear.
According to the development team, there are three key specializations for the spear:
- Charge (mobility and defense) – includes skills for quick movement around the battlefield and increasing survivability.
- Destruction (damage) – focuses on dealing maximum damage through powerful attacks.
- PvP – Offers abilities that are most effective in battles with other players, including crowd control and damage-dealing skills.
The Spear brings new possibilities and strategies to the combat system, with good synergy with the previous 7 weapons already present in the game. Along with the arrival of the weapon also comes its lore and a new NPC, a Female Or Guardian called Aranka that looks really cool.
