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."

Gameplay Tips

  • 1

    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.

  • 3

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

  • 4

    Watch enemy defensives; don't waste your big stuns on an immune target.
