Elden Ring: Top 10 Best Weapons Tier List

Elden Ring is a game with a huge variety of weapons. Players can choose from 308 weapons, spanning across 32 categories. Fans of the game can expect even more additions to this long list once the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is out! In this article, you will find the top 10 best weapons available in Elden Ring:

10. Golem Greatbow

The Golem Greatbow is one of the bows with the highest Attack Rates in Elden Ring. Use it in combination with Golem's Great Arrows for an AoE blast, which is amazing for PvP. The Golem Greatbow scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity. This weapon can drop from any Golem archer, aside from Golems with halberds. It's probably the most reliable choice when it comes to great bows, so don't miss out on this weapon.

9. Nagakiba

Nagakiba is arguably the best katana in Elden Ring. Aside from the amazing speed and reach, it can deal extra blood loss effect on top of the initial Physical Damage it causes. All of this makes it a great and reliable choice in the game. It's so good that some players are actively asking FromSoftware for a PvP nerf.

8. Star Fist

Star Fist is probably one of the best close-range melee weapons in Elden Ring, and surely the best one in the Fists category, having the highest attack power among them. The good bleed is a huge plus to this weapon. Star Fist scales with Strength and Dexterity and has the Endure Special Skill.

6. Prince of Death Staff

This staff scales with Intelligence and Faith. It has the highest sorcery scaling, but keep in mind you'll need 80+ Faith and Intelligence, as was already mentioned. The only downside to this staff is that it starts performing amazingly well only once you hit those high stats. On a more positive note, the great thing about the Prince of Death Staff is that it boosts the power of Death Sorceries by 10%.

5. Giant-Crusher

This massive hammer has one of the highest attack power stats in Elden Ring. It scales with Strength, which is required to wield it. The Giant-Crusher is a great pick for dealing massive physical damage. It also has a unique R2 attack, both as a one-handed and two-handed weapon. The R2 attack uses the weight of the hammer head to spin into a forward somersault, and if you charge the attack, smaller enemies will be flattened.

4. Dark Moon Greatsword

The Dark Moon Greatsword has an amazing visual design and truly stands out as one of the most elegant and magical weapons in Elden Ring. It scales primarily with Intelligence, Dexterity, and Strength and has the Moonlight Greatsword special skill, which is a chargeable weapon buff that deals magic damage with heavy attacks.

3. Carian Regal Scepter

This scepter scales with Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence, and it's probably one of the best choices in its category, along with the Prince of Death Staff. It's meant for characters with high intelligence, and it's good for any magic build. The Carian Regal Scepter can boost Full Moon sorceries by 10%, which is a great advantage.

2. Magma Blade

Magma Blade seems to be underappreciated by Elden Ring players, especially considering its effectiveness. It's a great choice for those who rely on strength. You can also deal additional Fire damage while using the swift curved sword move set. Keep in mind that Magma Blade scales better with Strength than with Faith, and it can't be enchanted with Magic or boosted by consumables.

1. Blasphemous Blade

We've reached the end of our top ten best weapons chart, and on top of it, we have the Blasphemous Blade. One of the best things about it is that it heals 4% of max HP + 40 flat HP upon killing an enemy, while the special skill, Taker's Flames, heals 10% of max HP + 150 flat HP on hit. It's an amazing choice for both damage and sustainability.
