Dark Souls 3 Weapon Tier List Update 04/2024

While Dark Souls 3 is an all-time favorite, not all weapons are created equal. The best games to help you succeed in Dark Souls 3 are listed here in an ultimate tier list.

Dark Souls changed the gaming industry by giving players a sense of accomplishment after overcoming adversity.

The third and final Dark Souls game is a perfect representation of the series’ best (and most difficult) qualities. It’s a classic for a reason, but if you’re not familiar with the game’s mechanics, you might feel completely lost.

One of the most crucial aspects of the game is its intricate arsenal, which we explain in detail here. Listed below is a ranking of every weapon in Dark Souls 3, from best to worst. Using this as a reference, hopefully “You Died” won’t be popping up on your screen too often in the future, right?

Okay, let’s get started.

Please take note that spells and shields are not included in this list. Remember that this list also takes into account the usefulness of weapons in PvP and invasions.

Dark Souls 3 – A Quick Introduction

Action role-playing game Dark Souls 3 is played from a third-person perspective. To win the game, you must play as an Unkindled Ash and restore the Lords of Cinder to their thrones at Firelink Shrine.

The third installment in the Dark Souls series, Dark Souls 3, was released in 2016. The game was made by FROMSOFTWARE and published by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment for PC and PS4.

Dark Souls 3 has gameplay that is similar to its two prequels. Players can choose from a wide array of weapons, including bows, spears, and swords, to dispatch their foes. The use of a shield can protect the user from harm by deflecting incoming projectiles.

The game is notoriously challenging, so picking the right weapon is crucial if you want to have any chance of success. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the best weapons in Dark Souls 3 and help you pick the right one for your playthrough.

Dark Souls 3: 15 Weapons That Make The Game Too Easy (& How To Obtain Them)

Astora Greatsword

The Astora Greatsword is a light weapon with low skill requirements, making it immediately useful for many builds. It excels, however, in the hands of those with high Dexterity. This makes it one of the best weapons for infusions, making it even better than it already is.

This weapon can be found on a body in the graveyard outside the Cleansing Chapel in the Cathedral of the Deep. This early-game weapon can be used by most characters of any build to deal damage to a wide range of foes.

This remarkably light ultra greatsword gains S-tier scaling in dexterity when enhanced to 10. With its 244 base physical damage, this weapon is well-suited for builds that prioritize this stat and prioritize high single-hit impacts. The Astora Greatsword is in the same class as other weapons, and even light attacks that manifest as wide, horizontal slashes can stagger and stun-lock many opponents. The Charge ability makes devastating use of the sword’s length and power by allowing it to lunge forward at high speed.

Exile Greatsword

When compared to other curved greatswords, the Exile Great Sword deals the most damage, but its terrible reach puts it in a lower tier. However, with the ability Spin Slash and the right build, it can swiftly slash through enemies. With Spin Slash, the player slices their way around their foes before unleashing a powerful attack.

This weapon can be acquired at Farron Keep in the game’s later stages. One of the Exile Watchdogs guarding the ruins is currently in possession of it.

Therefore, this curved greatsword is a fantastic weapon for taking on more resistant foe. The Exile Greatsword is worth getting because of the damage it deals to poise and health with both normal attacks and its weapon skill, though strength builds with some intelligence might be interested in giving it a simple infusion to increase its damage output. After this infusion and 10 upgrade, the large curved blade does 161 physical damage and 169 magical damage, scaling well with strength at the B level and surprising at the S level in terms of intelligence.

Executioner’s Greatsword

The Executioner’s Greatsword is an unusual weapon that, in the hands of a strong fighter, can be devastating. Its special ability to steal six FP with each kill makes it an excellent choice for Pyromancy builds, as the wielder will always have enough FP to use their spells.

It is discovered on a body near the Cleansing Chapel in the Cathedral of the Deep, next to the Astora Greatsword. It’s a powerful, early weapon that can be upgraded to greater effectiveness in the hands of a pyromancer.

Due to its flat blade, it is assumed that this greatsword only inflicts strike damage. The Executioner’s Greatsword deals a special type of physical damage normally reserved for hammers and other blunt weapons, making it particularly effective against heavily armored foes who are vulnerable to strike damage. It can’t be infused, but it can be upgraded to level 10, at which point it deals 262 damage per hit and scales well with strength (B). Its Stomp ability (spinning variant) is unusual for greatswords, but it works wonders against waves of weaker foes.

Fume Ultra Greatsword

The Fume Ultra Greatsword is a must-have for any strength build as it is a massive weapon that can also be used as a shield. Although cumbersome to wield, this sword packs a serious punch when it connects. The Fume Ultra Greatsword requires precise timing to hit enemies effectively, but when it does, the results are devastating.

Knight Slayer Tsorig throws the sword into the Smoldering Lake. He’s up ahead, before the exit that leads to the ballista on the surface, after players have traversed the areas with the rats and basilisks. Tsorig can be found in front of a lava pool if the player takes the left set of stairs leading to the exit.

When maxed out, the sword’s Strength scaling deals a minimum of 260 base physical damage. The sword can be strengthened and improved with Twinkling Titanite, but it cannot be infused.

Dark Sword

The Dark Sword is an effective tool for newer players or those using a hybrid strength-and-dexterity build. It’s a straight sword with a lot of power and an acceptable range. Its main benefit is the Stomp feature, which allows the user to lunge forward to gain confidence and then attack or slash upwards with great force.

There are a few ways to acquire it, the first being by killing Darkwraiths at the High Wall of Lothric. Darkwraiths in Farron Keep are another source; the Perimeter Bonfire is a good place to farm them because the local Ghru weaken them.

Infusing this straight sword, despite its name, is best done with something more refined than something dark. The dark infusion’s mediocre scaling with wisdom and belief is useless against this weapon, which is clearly designed for builds focused on strength and dexterity. The Dark Sword, thanks to its refined infusion, has B-tier scaling in both strength and dexterity, allowing it to deal 198 damage.

Vordt’s Great Hammer

In the hands of a character with a high strength build, Vordt’s Great Hammer is a weapon of cold, icy death. Frostbite can be inflicted within two or three hits, dealing 11% of a player’s maximum HP as damage, plus an additional 85 damage on top of that, and negatively affecting stamina regeneration. To use it effectively, you need to have at least 20 strength.

It’s possible to get Vordt’s soul, the boss of the Boreal Valley, early on by defeating him at the High Wall of Lothric. Although this soul can be used to craft the hammer, doing so will prevent the player from acquiring the powerful Pontiff’s Left Eye ring.

After reaching the maximum 5 upgrade for this great hammer, players won’t miss the infusion or buff features at all. Its 320 base physical damage scales fairly well for a B-tier weapon at this level. Because of its slower attack speed, this weapon benefits greatly from the common skill Perseverance, which allows the user to stand firm in the face of enemy attacks and land additional blows, resulting in better damage trading and faster frost buildup.

Farron Greatsword

The Farron Greatsword is an exceptional ultra-greatsword that swings out in a wide arc when it attacks. This early game weapon is a great choice for quality or dexterity oriented character builds. The weapon is a must-have for any Abyss Watchers fan, just like the Abyss Watchers armor set. The weapon shines brightest in player-versus-player contests.

In order to obtain this weapon, you must first defeat the Abyss Watchers and then transfer the Soul of the Blood of the Wolf.

Even though it’s an ultra-greatsword, the weapon scales well with Dexterity (A) and deals 258 points of damage at max level. It provides no active bonuses or passive enhancements, but does 20% more damage to Abyssal enemies. As a one-handed weapon, it can be blocked or parried.

Hollowslayer Greatsword

Because it deals an extra 20% damage to all hollow enemies, including several bosses, the Hollowslayer Greatsword is a fantastic weapon to use throughout the entire game. This is the best weapon to use against hollows, so many players keep it with them all the way through the story and into New Game Plus.

Defeating the boss Curse-Rotten Greatwood in the Undead Settlement is where you can find it surprisingly quickly in the game. This weapon, or the equally potent Arstor’s Spear, can be forged with the soul.

The weapon’s unique bonus damage, when added to its base 264 physical damage, can be quite impressive. However, the weapon cannot be infused or buffed and scales poorly. With its massive bonus damage and wide, horizontal light attacks, the Hollowslayer Greatsword can utterly decimate the weak Deacons of the Deep. Against Slave Knight Gael’s second and third phases, it can be especially useful because he becomes vulnerable to hollow attacks when he is knocked down in his first phase.

Irithyll Straight Sword

The Irithyll Straight Sword is an exceptional straight sword with the added ability to inflict frostbite. Due to its high base damage and additional frostbite effect, the weapon is great for low-level players. Due to its long range, the weapon becomes quite useful at higher levels. The Irithyll Straight Sword can be used to great effect against a wide variety of foes and can help players traverse the vast majority of the game’s environments.

After dispatching the Outrider Knight in the Undead Settlement area, players will gain access to the sword. Siegward of Catarina can be found before the Road of Sacrifices, at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

A Quality Build is recommended for maximum use of this weapon, which deals 216 base damage and a constant 55 frostbite damage. The weapon can be improved with Twinkling Titanite, but it is not possible to strengthen or infuse it further. The Irithyll Straight Sword is a great weapon for both PvE and PvP.

Lothric Knight Sword

The Lothric Knight Sword’s strength lies in its adaptability to a wide variety of fights. It’s a flexible weapon that can be easily adapted to the player’s playstyle and build through infusion and buffing. Moreover, it has an admirable 110 critical modifier.

Farming the Lothric Knights on the High Wall of Lothric for their swords is another simple way to acquire one early in the game. If you need a sword that can be adapted to your specifications, this is the one to get.

At 10, this straight sword can gain A-tier or S-tier scaling with nearly any infusion that allows scaling, making it nearly unrivaled in its versatility. In addition, the Lothric Knight Sword can be upgraded to deal between 215 and 275 total damage (across all types of damage) via most of these routes. The unexpectedly long range of this blade is a distinct advantage, especially when combined with powerful attack thrusts.

Black Knight Sword

Xem thêm : Genshin Impact Tier List Update 04/2024

The Black Knight Sword is widely regarded as one of the finest PVP blades. The player’s poise is increased, allowing them to deal devastating damage, thanks to Perseverance. Excellent poise damage, along with good reach, speed, low stamina consumption, and the ability to deal 20% more damage to demons.

It can be found midgame on a body in Smouldering Lake. In all honesty, this may end up being your only weapon for the rest of the game and even New Game Plus, depending on your character’s build and playstyle.

The Black Knight Sword, like many other weapons, relies on its base and bonus damage to be effective. When maxed out, this greatsword deals 302 physical damage, putting it on par with ultra greatswords. The versatility of its user is enhanced by a wide range of attacks, from slashes to thrusts.

The Claymore

The Claymore can be compared to the Lothric Knight Sword, another greatsword. Since it can be infused and buffed to suit a wide variety of builds and playstyles—especially those of casters—Stance makes it an extremely flexible weapon. It also has less stringent requirements in terms of character level than the Black Knight Sword.

The fact that the Claymore is discovered early on is another one of its many advantages. You’ll find it on the plateau, close to the first fire pit and the dozing wyvern. It is also possible, though much later in the game, to acquire it from a variety of enemies in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley.

Even after being upgraded to 10 with any possible infusion, it still does not reach S-tier scaling, but its base damage at this maximum level more than makes up for it. After combining the potentials of its various damage types, the majority of its paths deal between 250 and 300 damage. The Claymore’s user has an advantage in combat due to the fact that it is one of the longest greatswords available.

Ringed Knight Paired Greatsword

Greatsword enthusiasts will flip for the Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords, which allow them to use not one but two blades at once. The Ringed City downloadable content includes the weapon, which is optimal for Strength and Quality builds. Players have the option of using either dual or single wield, the former dealing more damage at the expense of attack speed.

Before entering the cathedral area, a Ringed Knight will drop a pair of greatswords. Spears of the Church advancement takes place near the altar.

When fully upgraded, the swords deal 322 base physical damage and scale to C in Strength and D in Dexterity. Twinkling Titanite can be used to improve the sword, but it can’t be buffed or infused. However, players can add some fire damage to their sword strikes by using the Ember weapon skill.

Sellsword Twinblades

Fans’ favorite weapon is the Sellsword Twinblades, which is a surprising choice. In the hands of a dexterity build, these scimitars become devastating, especially after being infused with sharpness. These swords can quickly dispatch even the most formidable bosses, but they lack the ability to block, so good dodging is essential.

If you choose to begin the game as a Mercenary, you will begin with one of these weapons. If you decide to play as a different class, you won’t be able to get their starting equipment until fairly early on in the game, and then only in the swamp behind the Black Knight on the Road of Sacrifices.

Sharp-infused Sellsword Twinblades have a high damage potential due to their 10 physical attack bonus and their ability to deal 183 damage per hit. Although its regular and heavy attacks are swift, it is its Spin Slash ability that truly makes it devastating.

Dragonslayer Greatbow

The Dragonslayer Greatbow is a massive bow that was used by the dragonslayers during the Age of Gods and will quickly dispose of any enemies your team faces. The bow takes a while to load, but its arrows deal significant damage when they hit their target. However, greatbow ammunition will be hard to come by and in short supply.

After killing Irityhll in the Boreal Valley, players can loot his body for the Dragonslayer Greatbow. They will also encounter foes in the area who use bows similar to their own. Rarely, a Silver Knight who is using a Dragonslayer Greatbow may also abandon it.

It is impossible to fortify or infuse the weapon after it has been upgraded with Twinkling Titanite. When maxed out, it deals 220 base physical damage and scales with Dexterity C. Players with a 40/40 Quality Build would gain 427 AR when using a 5 Dragonslayer Greatbow.
