Elden Ring boasts a staggering arsenal of weapons, each catering to unique playstyles. But with so many choices, how do you find the perfect fit? This tier list ranks every weapon, guiding you towards the gear that maximizes your Tarnished’s potential.
Understanding the Tiers
We categorize weapons into seven tiers based on effectiveness and build compatibility:
- S-Tier: Elite weapons, melt enemies with minimal effort, work across most builds.
- A-Tier: Powerful weapons with slight limitations in scaling or weapon art.
- B-Tier: Solid weapons excelling in specific builds but less versatile overall.
- C-Tier: Decent weapons overshadowed by better options.
- D-Tier: Weak weapons, use only as temporary replacements.
- E-Tier: Very weak weapons, best avoided.
- F-Tier: Meme-worthy weapons, barely cause damage, for challenge runs only.

The Five Ten Titans
Now, let’s meet the champions who reign supreme in the Lands Between:
Moonveil
A katana that dances with moonlight, inflicting rapid blood loss and unleashing waves of luminous energy with the Transient Moonlight skill. Elegance and lethality in one exquisite package.
Blasphemous Blade
This fiery behemoth feasts on your foes’ life essence, fueling its devastating Taker’s Flames skill. Perfect for those who like their victories well-seasoned with a touch of self-sacrifice.
Sword of Night and Flame
A spell-slinging monstrosity, switching between Comet Azur’s magic barrage and sweeping firestorms. For those who want to be both pyromancer and sorcerer, rolled into one glorious warrior.
Rivers of Blood
This katana leaves a trail of crimson carnage with its Corpse Piler skill, racking up blood loss and fire damage like a macabre artist. Prepare to paint the battlefield red (and maybe a little black).
Eleonora’s Poleblade
This fiery polearm is a bloodthirsty beast, inflicting rapid blood loss and staggering foes with each blow. Perfect for those who like to keep their enemies close (and very, very dead).
Remember, Tarnished, the best weapon in Elden Ring is the one that suits your playstyle and build. Experiment, explore, and find your own legendary armament! May your journey through the Lands Between be filled with epic battles and bountiful loot!
