Elden Ring has taken the world by storm and a significant part of the player base is still loyal and active in the community. With many patches and updates since release, you may be wondering what the best weapons in Elden Ring are. Here’s our tier list.
Screenshot by Prima Games Best Elden Ring Weapons: Tier List Explained We will divide all the currently available weapons in Elden Ring into Tiers:
S-Tier weapons are hands down the best in the game.A-Tier weapons are very strong but they are overshadowed by S-Tier.B-Tier weapons are strong , but you would need an appropriate build to accompany them.C-Tier weapons are in the middle of the list —bad compared to the above tiers, even though there’s nothing really wrong with them. Simply, if there’s something better available, you should go for it without a doubt.D-Tier weapons are at the top of the bottom half , and this is in the zone you should (mostly) avoid. A lot of basic weapons fall into this category.E-Tier weapons are truly weak .F-Tier weapons are good if you’re live streaming Elden Ring with some weird, garbage, or no gear challenge, to put it simply. In terms of views that you can get, this might just be the S-Tier you really need. Even the Sword of (Ricardo) Milos is there, for crying out loud. It cannot get more memetastic than this.
We’ll update this list as the game evolves if the below standings change.

Weapon Base Scaling Base Damage Why You Should Use Blasphemous Blade Str D | Dex D | Fai D Phy 121 | Fire 78 Taker’s Flames skill saps HP from your enemies as you send out waves of flames. Moonveil Str E | Dex D | Int C Phy 73 | Mag 87 Quickly builds up blood loss. Transient Moonlight skill rapidly sends out waves of light to do magic damage for low cost. Sword of Night and Flame Str E | Dex E | Int D | Fai D Phy 87 | Mag 56 | Fire 56 Night stance melts enemies by casting Comet Azur dealing magic damage, or use the Flame stance to deal fire damage with sweeping flames. Rivers of Blood Str E | Dex D | Arc D Phy 76 | Fire 76 Corpse Piler skill leaves trails of cursed blood in a quick double X motion, dealing fire damage, standard damage, and blood loss buildup per hit. Eleonora’s Poleblade Str E | Dex D | Arc D Phy 72 | Fire 72 Deals both standard and fire damage, rapidly causes blood loss buildup, and strong stagger damage. Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear Str D | Dex E | Arc D Phy 96 | Fire 62 Bloodboon Ritual skill creates explosions of blood that can hit enemies from behind walls and also buffs the spear to deal more fire damage. Fallingstar Beast Jaw Str D | Dex D | Int E Phy 131 | Mag 85 A strong weapon that adds a little magic to a strength build. Gravity Bolt skill sends lightning bolts crashing down to strike foes. Dark Moon Greatsword Str D | Dex D | Int C Phy 82 | Mag 98 FromSoftware’s staple reoccurring weapon that sends out blades of moonlight with the Moonlight Greatsword skill.
