Heroic Weapons & Armor Guide

This guide covers both Heroic Weapons and Armor along with their best stats you should use if you grind out and want to include the Heroic items into your build. While all PVE content in Throne and Liberty can be completed without the need of Heroic items, the introduction of the first Raid offers players a way to further min-max their gear, making it easier to reach certain stat points.

A good rule of thumb is that most, if not all heroic items are a direct upgrade to other items as they provide more raw stats. However, choosing the right heroic item for the build depends on weak item slots. For example, the Calanthia's ConfessionCalanthia's Confession is generally a safe pick as your Heroic item on most builds as it offers the best stats for a cloak in the game.
