PVP Meta Snapshot
The current meta favors high mobility and burst damage. Static defenses struggle against the speed of top-tier assassins.
This list ranks weapons based on their performance in high-level duels and small-scale skirmishes.
Weapon Tier List
Updated for Early AccessS Tier
Dominant meta picks. High mobility or oppressive control that dictates the pace of the match.
A Tier
Strong competitive options. Can beat S-Tier with higher skill or specific counter-builds.
B Tier
Viable but honest. Lacks the 'unfair' mechanics of higher tiers, requiring solid fundamentals.
Why S-Tier?
Dual Blades and Umbrella currently dictate the pace of the game. Dual Blades can engage and disengage at will, making them nearly impossible to pin down without hard CC. Umbrella users provide the only reliable ranged control, forcing enemies to play defensively.
The Sleeper Picks
Sword + Spear bleed builds are mathematically the highest DPS in the game, but they require perfect uptime. If the meta shifts towards tankier brawls, expect these to rise to S-Tier immediately.
