Weaken Chance is one of the CC stats you can build on your character in Throne and Liberty. Weaken Chance increases the chance to apply Weaken to the target. If your Weaken Chance is higher than the target’s Weaken Resistance, you get a four percent increased chance for every 10 points of difference. However, if the target’s Weaken Resistance is higher than your Weaken Chance, it gets four percent increased resistance for every 10 points of difference.

You can find a general Weaken effect on multiple weapons and custom types of Weaken unique to specific weapons (usually written as “Weaken: effect name”). Some Weaken effects become available once you unlock a specific skill’s specialization.

Here are a few Weaken effects and the weapons you can find them on:

  • Weaken: Poison (Dagger)
  • Weaken: Thunderclouds (Dagger)
  • Weaken: Sleep (Wand)
  • Weaken: Curse (Wand)

You only need to build Weaken Chance if your weapons can apply Weaken. To apply Weaken, Dagger often uses Thunderclouds in DPS builds, like Crossbow and Dagger or Greatsword and Dagger. Thunderclouds scale the Dagger’s damage, so having enough Weaken Chance is important if you’re using this weapon. If your core skill rotation doesn’t involve Weaken, you don’t have to worry about Weaken Chance.

You need to get armor, weapons, and accessories with Weaken Chance as a stat or a Trait to increase Weaken Chance. The average amount of Weaken Chance you need for PvE in Throne and Liberty is around 350. Depending on Traits, you can achieve that using one or two Epic gear pieces with Weaken Chance as their main stat.
