Welcome to our quick guide about the Evasion stat in Throne & Liberty. 

In this guide, we will explain what the Evasion stat is and how it works, and whether it's worth traiting your equipment for higher Evasion.

What is Evasion in Throne & Liberty? 

As its name suggests, Evasion is a stat that allows you to avoid enemy attacks causing them to miss. This seems simple enough, but there is an important detail to the Evasion stat that a lot of players aren't aware of. 

To understand this, you also need to know about the Hit Chance stat, another self-explanatory stat that all characters have. The higher your Hit Chance is, the most accurate your attacks will be. 

Evasion can subtract from the enemy Hit Chance, making them more likely to miss, but for this to be possible, your Evasion stat must be higher than the enemy's Hit Chance. Take the following examples:

  • Your attacker has 500 Hit Chance, while you have 450 Evasion - In this scenario, your Evasion stat has no effect, because it is lower than the enemy's Hit Chance. 
  • Your attacker has 500 Hit Chance, you also have 500 Evasion - In this scenario, your Evasion stat has no effect, because it is not higher than the enemy's Hit Chance. 
  • Your attacker has 450 Hit Chance, you have 550 Evasion - Your Evasion is 100 points higher, which will effectively reduce the enemy's Hit Chance by 100, translating to a roughly 10% lower chance to hit you. 

This interaction between Hit Chance and Evasion is important to understand when deciding how to build your character.

Should I Use Evasion in Throne & Liberty?

Evasion is not worth using if you only play PvE (with the possible exception of tanks). 

However, it can be a powerful stat in PvP, especially when fighting against players who don't know how the Hit Chance and Evasion stats work (because they probably haven't traited their equipment with this in mind). 

If you do use Evasion on your equipment, you must focus on it heavily, because the stat does nothing if it is less than the enemy's Hit Chance. You need to stack Evasion as high as possible for it to be good - just having it on a couple of pieces is a waste. 

So in short, either don't use Evasion at all, or stack it as high as possible. 

We hope you liked this guide about Evasion in Throne & Liberty.
