Greatsword Longbow Build Combos & Rotation
While you can play the Greatsword Longbow build on a casual level by just using random skills or spamming the same skill over and over again, the more skilled player will make the most of their skills and passives, many of which can be used in a certain order to buff the final damage output of each skill – these are known as combos.
One of the most important features of the Greatsword weapon is the ability to use Stunning Blow, Ascension Slash and Death Blow to deal massive damage to an enemy. You can make use of the following combos, all of which play into this:
- Stunning Blow -> Ascension Slash
- Stunning Blow applies the Stunned effect to the target, which in turn allows you to deal extra damage and knock the target Prone with Ascension Slash.
- Ensnaring Arrow -> Ascension Slash
- This is an alternative version of the first combo that you can use if your Stunning Blow is on cooldown, or if the Stun from Stunning Blow failed to apply. It has the same effect as the first combo.
- Stunning Blow OR Ensnaring Arrow -> Death Blow -> Ascension Slash
- Another variation on the Ascension Slash combo, this time we also work Death Blow into the mix, since it gains a 30% damage bonus against Stunned or Bound targets. This combo makes for a good opener, but might be difficult to pull off in the middle of a fight since it relies on three cooldowns.
If you have the Guillotine Blade skill unlocked (from Resistance Events) then you can finish off these combos with that skill, for even more single-target damage.
Greatsword and Longbow Tips & Tricks
- Don’t focus too much on gear early on. Gear farming only becomes important after you hit max level.
- Get equipment that gives you extra Max Health or Strength stats at the beginning.
- Always keep track of your cooldowns, especially on the high cooldown Skills.
