 The primary mechanic added to the game in {{AoD|Atlas of Discovery}} is {{Icon|Barrier}}, a powerful shield that is entirely immune to player attacks while active. In order to break barriers, the player must utilize {{Skill|Summoning}} Familiars that deal damage such as the {{ItemIcon|Golbin Thief}} or {{ItemIcon|Unicorn}}. Clear speed will be almost entirely determined by how fast you can break the {{Icon|Barrier}} so make sure to prioritize summon max hit in your builds.
-Two-handed weapons are strongly recommended during the entire combat section, unless the alternative is required for [[Damage Reduction]] or the alternative simply does more damage. Two-handed weapons generally have a higher hit chance and because the [[familiar]]'s hit-chance is based on the player's hit chance, the higher the hit chance, the better.

 ''Because the combat mechanics in this expansion are rather complex, and minor changes in enemy, equipment and player stats can make specific items better or worse it is always recommended to use the [[Scripting_and_Extensions/Combat_Simulator|Combat Simulator]] to verify how to get the most kills per hour or drops per hour.''
