This build is up to date for the September 23, 2025 patch.
Overview
This Justicar build combines the high AOE damage of the Orb with the high Single Target burst damage provided by Greatsword skills like 
Guillotine Blade and 
Death Blow while also offering some good CC options with 
Stunning Blow and 
Ascending Slash. This Justicar build is one of the easier builds to play for someone wanting to try out the Orb.

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 small 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
The Justicar’s biggest sources of burst damage come from Death Blow and Guillotine Blade, which hit especially hard when used right after Stunning Blow and Ascending Slash. On top of that, the Orb side of the kit provides exceptional AoE damage through 
Supernova Collapse, 
Interstellar Explosion, and 
Void Slash, all of which deliver heavy hits without being limited to a single target.
Passives play just as important a role in powering up the Justicar. 
Vital Force and 
Robust Constitution synergize perfectly, boosting max HP and scaling your skill damage based on your health pool. The Orb passives are equally strong, with 
Astral Overseer standing out as one of the most impactful thanks to its crit rate increase and cooldown reduction for 
Starcalling. Finally, 
Pulsating Galaxy adds a steady stream of extra damage as you weave through your abilities, helping to maintain consistently high DPS throughout fights.
And of course, 
Victor's Morale & 
Stellar Cycle helps with mana sustain.

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
- Start the rotation by using
Summon Satellite on an ally before getting into the fight properly.
- Use Stunning Blow + Death Blow quick combo before using Ascending Slash and Guillotine Blade. Transition into the Orb Rotation with
Summon Constellation which will spawn 3 orbs before using Void Slash and Interstellar Explosion.
- Finish the rotation with Starcalling until you have 3 orbs down and then use
Stellar Dash followed by Supernova Collapse. Of course, finish the rotation with 
Temporal Leap to lower CDs.
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.
