This build is up to date for the September 19, 2025 patch.
Overview
This Polaris build combines the high AOE damage of both the Orb and the Spear, offering incredible AoE damage, perfect for farming open world dungeons and large groups of mobs solo while also performing incredibly well in dungeons where a lot of mobs have to be killed quickly. This is a rather straightforward build, making it quite easy to play.

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.
For peak damage, prioritize Dexterity and Strength alongside Perception, since both directly boost your DPS and make every hit more powerful. A modest investment in Wisdom can help with mana regeneration and sustain during longer fights, but it should always take a backseat to your main damage stats.
Skills
Polaris’s high AOE damage comes from the Orb side of the kit which 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.
But, don't underestimate the Spear damage coming from the mix of 
Vicious Fury and 
Javelin Inferno which makes javelins bounce between targets before you get to use 
Cyclonic Fury to deal high AOE damage again.
Spear passives are perfect to build up crit rate and heavy attack chance with 
Malice Surge & 
Retaliatory Strike.
The Orb passives are equally important though, not something you shouldn't level up, with 
Astral Overseer further increasing crit rate and lowering the cooldown of 
Starcalling. Finally, 
Pulsating Galaxy adds extra damage without having to think about it as it buffs damage whenever you deal damage with Orb skills.

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
- Begin by buffing up with
Unyielding Sentinel! Then, get in close range and use Vicious Fury to build up stacks so you can use 
Javelin Surge to spread out javelins on all enemies. Use 
Rising Slash to burst the ignite stacks.
- Begin the Orb Rotation with
Summon Constellation which spawns 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. Finally, use 
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.
