Sharpen those blades and reload those pistols. Here’s the comprehensive weapon tier list for Wuthering Waves.

Best Weapons in Wuthering Waves Ranked

As of the game’s release, there are approximately 60 weapons in the game, ranging from 1★ to 5★. A 1★ weapon is at the very bottom of the pile, while 5★ weapons are some of the best in the game. Now, let’s get into the tier list of each weapon and where they land in the Wuthering Waves tier list.

Sword Tier List in Wuthering Waves

Emerald Genesis is the best sword in Wuthering Waves because of its massive base attack of 47 and its ability to increase and stack attack. The second-best option, Scale: Slasher, offers just 27 attack and its ability restores Resonance Energy by 8. Emerald Genesis just hits so much harder than any other weapon in the sword category. Equip it to Yangang, Sanhua, Danjin, or Rover for the best results.

Broadblade Tier List in Wuthering Waves

Verdant Summit and Lustrous Razor are both 5★ weapons, so it’s no surprise they clinch the S+ tier. Both weapons offer the same base attack, 47, but where they differ is their passive boosts and abilities. Lustrous Razor increases attack by 8.10% while Verdant Summit increases Crit Damage by 10.80%.

Lustrous Razor increases Energy Regen, and when you use your Resonance Skill, it increases Resonance Liberation damage by 7% – an effect that stacks twice and lasts for 12 seconds. Comparatively, Verdant Summit increases the damage bonus of all Resonance Attributes by 12%. And every time an Intro Skill or Resonance Liberation is cast, it increases Heavy Attack damage bonus by 24%, stacking twice.

Ultimately, the weapon you roll for will depend on your playstyle. While Lustrous Razor ability is more potent, the passive attack damage boost from Verdant Summit is significant. Equip the Lustrous Razor on Calcharo, Taoqi, or Jiyan for best results. If you grab Verdant Summit, give it to Calcharo or Jiyan.

Pistol Tier List for Wuthering Waves

When it comes to guns, there’s one that stands trigger and barrel above the rest: Static Mist. This 5★ weapon offers the standard base attack of 47, with a crit rate increase of 5.4%. But what’s interesting about it is its ability. Static Mist increases Energy Regen by 12.8% but when its Outro Skill is released, it increases the switch-in Resonator’s attack by 10% for 14 seconds. That makes Static Mist an incredibly effective support weapon, so use it strategically to destroy bosses and other difficult opponents.

Static Mist is best put in the hands of Aalto, Chixia, and Mortefi.
