These weapons are incredibly strong and if you have them, then you are already a beast in this game. However, it is not easy to unlock them. Here is the list of all S-Tier weapons:

Long SwordThe Long Sword is great at melee range and it inflicts devasting damage to enemies.

Sometimes, you can opt for these weapons as they can easily compete with an S-Tier weapon. Something else to note is that they offer better handling than the S-Tier weapons, but obviously fall just short in terms of damage. Here is the list of all A-Tier weapons:

WeaponDescription
Dual BladesDual Blades are light and are great at unleashing a flurry of attacks.
Charge BladeThe Charge Blade is incredibly fast and powerful.
Switch AxeThe Switch Axe inflicts elemental damage.
GunlanceThe Gunlance is very good at offense but it suffers with range.

B-Tier

WeaponDescription
Heavy BowgunThe Heavy Bowgun is very slow, but it does pack a punch.
HammerThe Hammer is another slow weapon that inflicts decent damage.
Insect GlaiveYou can do aerial attacks with the Insect Glaive, but it’s still not great.

C-Tier
