This build is up to date for the September 23, 2025 patch.
Overview
This Justicar build focuses on dealing high AOE damage in all large scale PVP through the use of different stuns thanks to the Greatsword 
Devastating Smash, 
Stunning Blow along with 
Interstellar Explosion which deals great AOE damage while also stunning enemies. However, with this build requiring tanks to setup clumps of enemies together, you often have to rely on allies for setup.

With the unique stats and attributes system in Throne and Liberty, it can be difficult to determine exactly where to invest your attribute points at each stage of the game. This is because gear pieces provide attributes just like leveling up does, meaning everyone will have a different number of attribute points depending on what gear they are wearing at the time.
Given this variation, it's best to reset your attributes regularly to adjust to the new gear you acquire. Aim to reach the achievement effects, which provide extra benefits at milestones like 30, 50, and 70 points.
To maximize your damage, invest primarily in Dexterity and Strength, as these two stats directly scale your DPS and make each attack far more impactful. A good amount of Wisdom can also be helpful for mana regeneration and keeping your rotation going in longer encounters, but it should remain secondary to your core damage stats.
Skills
Stunning Blow and 
Ascending Slash are the main single target DPS and CC skill to help yourself against enemies that target you while you're waiting for setups. This allows you to prone enemies and use 
Guillotine Blade on them to get rid of them.
Distortion Veil is fantastic for damage boosting and a great help on the Justicar build, greatly boosting the damage you do with all abilities. 
Supernova Collapse is fantastic for denying areas and dealing damage alongside the more important Interstellar Explosion and 
Void Slash as they both deal high burst damage once used in combination with 
Summon Constellation or 
Starcalling
Passives are a key part of maximizing the Justicar’s power. 
Vital Force and 
Robust Constitution work hand in hand, raising your max HP and scaling skill damage with your health pool. 
Cold Warrior is also essential, providing a big boost to both hit and crit chance, while 
Raging Frenzy shines when you’re taking on multiple opponents at once.

You should be aiming to reach and unlock masteries (the corner nodes) as soon as possible as they usually make the largest impact in the build. While minor nodes shouldn't be forgotten, make sure to unlock masteries as fast as possible before spreading out and spending into less important nodes.

Rotations
- Catch an enemy with Stunning Blow before quickly using Distortion Veil + Ascending Slash to knock down the enemy into prone so your Guillotine Blade does extra damage. Finish the rotation with a quick
Gaia Crash.
- Begin by buffing with Distortion Veil to buff yourself before using Summon Constellation to put down 3 orbs quickly then jump on top of the stacked enemies with Devastating Smash followed by quick Interstellar Explosion and Void Slash to deal high damage.
- From this on, depending if enemies are still alive and if you get the chance, continue with Gaia Crash before looking for a good spot to use Starcalling for 3 more orbs to close the way out for enemies, forcing them away or to take damage from Supernova Collapse.
Useful Information
- Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian for the best overall synergy. Her shield absorbs damage equal to 50% of your mana, giving you reliable protection while also speeding up cooldowns so you can heal more frequently. If you prefer a more offensive approach, Shade Revenant Stheno or Geen Ranger Elowen are strong alternatives—both excel in party play, either by boosting damage for faster bursts or rooting enemies to help lock down groups.
