Overview
This Justicar build combines combines the buffing power of the Orb alongside its healing (
Amplification Veil & 
Restoring Constellation) with the high damage of Greatsword skills like 
Guillotine Blade and 
Death Blow, being the perfect build for the solo players looking to play a class with good self-sustain and high damage.

Wisdom
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 against targets that are prone (on the ground).
You can boost this damage even further with 
Distortion Veil which greatly boosts the damage you do with all abilities and of course the auto-attacks while 
Restoring Constellation is fantastic for self healing or healing party members that are in trouble.
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. Obviously, don't neglect the 
Cold Warrior either as it greatly increases hit chance and crit chance while 
Raging Frenzy is great for when you take 1vX fights.

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

Distortion Veil to buff yourself before catching an enemy.
- Use

Stunning Blow + 
Ascending Slash before using 
Guillotine Blade. Continue the rotation with a quick 
Gaia Crash and 
Valiant Brawl to finish them off.
Alternative Kill Rotation ↴
- Same as the other rotation, use

Distortion Veil before using 
Precision Dash to catch an enemy and bind them so you can knock them prone with 
Ascending Slash so you can properly use 
Guillotine Blade and 
Death Blow. Finish them off with 
Valiant Brawl if needed.
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.
