dark souls 3 weapon tier list

We have ranked the weapons in Dark Souls 3 and made a complete tier list. Find which weapons are top tier and which ones are better left at home.

Weapons are an important part of Dark Souls’ gear. That is why we will provide you with a thorough list of Dark Souls 3 weapon tiers, as well as their type and skill.

A weapon is any object held in the right or left hand and used in warfare, including shields. The weapon in the right hand is usually used to attack, whereas the weapon in the left hand is mostly used to block or counter, however it can be used to attack in specific instances. We’ve compiled a list of Dark Souls 3 weapon tier list so you can pick the best weapon to help you win the game.

Dark Souls 3 Weapon Tier List

Throwable missiles, bows, arrows, shields (primarily used as a secondary weapon to protect yourself and your team), and spells are among the weapons in the game (again a secondary weapon). With the exception of secondary weapons, these weapons are categorized into one of six tiers based on their effectiveness.

S Tier Weapons

These are the most powerful weapons in the game. When a player’s abilities are equal, they usually outmatch the majority of weapons in the tiers below them.
