With the new Inferno difficulty curve, seasonal wipes, PvEvP ambushes, and rapid-fire progression spikes, choosing the right gear isn't just an advantage — it’s survival.

This ultimate weapon tier list ranks every major weapon based on community-tested performance, top player feedback, and the current Inferno meta, giving you a clear roadmap for early game runs, Demon Gate Labyrinth routes, and endgame mastery.

Get ready — your weapon is your lifeline, and we’re about to sharpen it.

How We Rank Weapons (Updated for Current Meta)

Weapons are judged on:

✔ Effectiveness

Burst damage, stagger potential, Deathblow value, mob clearing speed.

✔ Ease of Use

Beginner-friendliness, animation risk, tracking, stamina efficiency.

✔ Versatility

PvEvP usefulness, single-target vs mob performance, synergy with perks.

✔ Progression Strength

Scaling with rarity, early-game accessibility, late-game viability.

This gives you a real-world view of how each weapon performs across an entire season, not just in isolated combat.

🔥 Deep Dive: Weapon Breakdown & Pro Tips

S-Tier — Wheel Blade (The Inferno MVP)

This weapon is dominating the community meta for one reason: safety + range + burst.

Why It’s Broken-Strong

  • Long-range normal attacks

  • Insanely fast movement recovery

  • High DPS without commitment

Ideal Perks

  • Normal Attack+ (top priority)

A Rare Wheel Blade > ANY Common weapon, regardless of type.

Katana

Fast, adaptable, perfect for both crowd control and dueling.

Why Players Love It:

  • Sweeping Deathblow

  • Quick attack chains

  • Great stamina-to-damage ratio

Bat

Simple but deadly — a perfect “learn the game” weapon.

Strengths:

  • Excellent stagger

  • Safe attack windows

  • Reliable Guard Break setups

Meta Insight: Many top players run Wheel Blade + Katana or Wheel Blade + Bat until the late game.

B & C Tier — Specialists with High Ceilings

These weapons work but require finesse.

Greatsword

Massive damage, fantastic stagger, but every swing is a commitment.

Arm

A surprisingly strong off-hand weapon for spacing and poking.
Pairs well with Katana or Wheel Blade for pressure.

Odachi / Hammer (C Tier)

Common in PvP due to burst potential.
Miss your hit = you’re deleted.

Propeller Edge

Huge reach — unsafe if you mistime strikes.

Mastering Inferno Combat: Guard Breaks, Weapon Groups & Synergies

Guard Breaks (GB): Your Hidden Advantage

Dual-wielding unlocks GB combos that define your combat rhythm.

Recommended for Beginners

  • GB Combo 10 (Arm + Arm)

  • GB Combo 2 & 9 (crowd control + evasive pressure)

Weapon Grouping Example

Bat, Katana, and Wheel Blade are all Group 1, giving them identical, easy-to-use GBs.
This makes them the best trio for building consistency early on.

Chasing Perfect Weapons: Perks & Rarity

Your Priorities

    Rarity = raw damage scaling. Never ignore this.

  2. Perks Second.
    Normal Attack+ > Crit perks > Guard Break boosts > Utility perks
