How to Play Mace in Albion Online
"The Mace is the cornerstone of tanking in Albion Online PvP. It provides a perfect balance of heavy crowd control, survivability, and utility. From the heavy engage of the Camlann Mace to the defensive peel of the Heavy Mace, mastering this weapon line means controlling the tempo of the entire fight."

Communication is key. Always call out your engage before jumping in.
- 2
Use your W (Snare Charge) to setup your E or to peel for your healer.

Don't just use all your CC at once; stagger it to keep targets locked down longer.

Weapon Variants
1h Mace
5v5 & Small Scale TankThe premier mobile tank weapon. Its E (Deep Leap) allows you to jump a massive distance and immediately stun everyone in the impact zone, creating the perfect setup for your team.
Heavy Mace
Disruption & PurgingFeatures an enormous AoE line silence (Battle Howl) that also purges enemy buffs. It is highly valued for stripping defensive auras and preventing the enemy backline from casting.
Camlann Mace
ZvZ God-Tier EngageThrows a black hole (Vendetta) that pulls every enemy hit into a single tight pixel. If you land this on an enemy clump and your mages follow up, the fight is instantly won.
Incubus Mace
PvE & Niche DebuffingIts E shrinks enemies, reducing their max health and damage. Essential for high-level PvE (Hardcore Expeditions) but occasionally used in 5v5s to cripple the enemy tank.

Recommended Passives
Stunning Strike
Every 5 normal attacks, your attack stuns the enemy for a short duration. Incredible for locking down priority targets like enemy healers in a 5v5 setting.
Protection of the Gods
Every 5 normal attacks grants you a shield. Useful for extending your lifespan in large-scale ZvZ where you act as a meat shield.
