Moonlighter Weapon Tier List Guide

About the Tier List

The tier list simply rates each weapon in accordance to their effectiveness in the game's dungeon. Each weapon can be used and be effective depending on your playstyle. However, some weapons are definitely superior than the others which the tierlist aims to create a visual guide on which weapons are superior over its peers.

Rating Explanation

SS Tier Weapons in this list offer game-breaking advantages over most weapons or superior ability compared to its weapon peers.
S Tier These are generally considered great weapons and while they're not able to break the game with their effect, they're more reliable than the rest of the weapon roster.
A Tier Weapons from this tier are fairly balanced. Each weapon placed on this tier are great comfort picks and can be the best weapon depending on your approach to the game and your loadout.
B Tier These weapons are usable but are more likely than not, more disadvantageous than the rest of the weapons, specially within their own weapon category.

All Tier List Criteria

For our criteria, our main setup is the weapon's performance once upgraded to legendary tier and damage capability.

Legendary Tier is recommended since several weapons fail to shine on its base version and investing in upgrades takes a lot of materials and gold, we want to highlight a weapon's performance on the highest tier to help provide guidance on the best weapons to upgrade first.

The next critiera, DPS, since higher DPS lets us eliminate enemies faster which in turn, helps us take less damage as the run goes on. Several bosses also have mechanics that you're forced to dodge so pushing as much damage possible helps us clear dungeons faster.
