Elden Ring Weapon Tier List

Elden Ring has won countless awards and distinctions and is en route to becoming the game of the year 2022. The game has been out for over 10 months, and still, it is counted among the mainstream games for most players and streamers. The biggest reason why people can’t get enough of it is its flexibility. Unlike Witcher and other similar titles, Elden Ring likes to put you in control of your character. For instance, you can choose your class, your gadgets, your inventory, your appearance, and even your moves.

Moreover, the game offers a huge array of weapons to choose for your build. Each armament comes with its pros and cons, bringing some value to various character builds. However, with so many options at hand, the players are often confused about which ones to keep in their arsenal. So, you will eventually end up reading an Elden Ring Weapon Tier List to decide your perfect weapon inventory. This article provides an updated classification of all Elden Ring weapons based on their strengths, damages, Weapon Arts, and scaling.

Elden Ring Weapon Tier List Guide

Reading any list without proper legends is useless. Moreover, it would be best to read the complete article as some powerful weapons are placed in the lower tier due to some minor flaws. Similarly, some weapons with lower stats are placed in higher tiers for the value they bring to your inventory. For this list, the weapons are classified from tier S through F, S being the highest. The classification system is further explained below:

  • S-Tier: This category contains the finest weapons in the entire game. Moreover, the weapons are universal and can be used by players of all classes. So, if you ever find a weapon from this tier, don’t think; just keep it. 
  • A-Tier: These weapons have what it takes to become the best in the game. However, their powers are slightly inferior to the ones provided in the S-class.
  • B-Tier: The B-Tier weapons are powerful, flawless, and bring a lot of value to the right inventory. However, the only way to unleash their true potential is by using them with the appropriate character build.
  • C-Tier: The C-Tier marks the center of the categories. The weapons placed in this class aren’t really bad, but you can always go for weapons from a higher tier. Moreover, some of these weapons are often described as the best early game and mid-game weapons. So, unless you are out to fight against a tough boss, these weapons will work just fine.
  • D-Tier: The D-Tier marks the start of the lowest categories. These weapons may work fine if you use them in your secondary hand. Moreover, most of these weapons are basic and come without any special skills. So, you should avoid weapons from this and all lower categories if you wish to stand a chance against the Knights and other weaklings.
  • E-Tier: The E-Tier contains all the weapons that obtained just the passing marks. So, choosing an item from this category will often end in failure unless you have some serious fighting skills.
  • F-Tier: In most competitions, the F-Grade is often reserved for failures, and this list is no different. The F category contains all the failed weapons that bring zero value to your inventory. Some players even describe them as fillers in the Elden Ring arsenal. In other words, these weapons are the lifeguards in an Olympic swimming competition; they are just there for the show.

Without further delay, here is the complete Elden Ring Weapon Tier List containing all the weapons from the latest update.
