Builds & Playstyle
The Thorn Polearm and Shield is the midgame main of the support branch — Excellent tier at 17 Attack and Combat Value 400, and the set most Withered Knight support players will actually raid with. Its name pulls double duty: the Thorn Guide skill is the class’s signature pull, and the class lore calls thorns “the mark of the Penitent.” For the trio off-tank build, its 1300 durability suits a role that holds the line.
- Where it sits: the middle of the Polearm & Shield ladder — above the Guard Polearm and Shield (Rare, CV 300), below the Night Vigil Polearm and Shield (Epic, CV 500).
- When to use it: your main set through the midgame, for trio support and ranged Wither application.
- When to swap: when an Epic or better set shows up — the Excellent tier is the class’s comfort zone, not its ceiling.
Community note: no launch list ranks individual Polearm & Shield sets; the Thorn set is simply the point where the family’s stat curve stops being flat, which is why guides treat it as the default midgame pick. That is a community reading of the progression, not a developer ranking.
