If you’re diving deep into Heian and wondering which weapon can carry you through Chime or dominate ranked, this guide has you covered. After putting in 50+ hours with nearly every weapon in the game, I’ve seen the strengths, weaknesses, buffs, nerfs, and everything in between. This Heian Weapon Tier List Guide is built not just on stats, but on actual performance, consistency, and potential in real fights.
So whether you’re climbing the ranks or just trying to avoid picking up another dud, here’s the breakdown of every weapon in the current meta.
Heian Weapon Tier List Guide – Best Weapons Ranking
S Tier – Absolutely Broken
Crimson Argory
This weapon is borderline busted. The range is insane—it can literally reach across an entire room, making spacing irrelevant. It’s fast, easy to abuse, and completely dominates in duels. Needs a nerf, no question.
Tainted Sorrow
Despite being criticized by many, this weapon is secretly overpowered. Its hyper armor on crits makes it extremely difficult to counter. You can be mid-combo, and the opponent will cancel your entire setup just by critting. Its 50 Medium requirement is why it’s often picked, but the utility goes way beyond that.
Demon Bane
Originally insane with 60% lifesteal, even after being nerfed to 20%, it’s still incredible. The crits are destructive, and somehow, it just got buffed again—why? Nobody knows, but it’s easily one of the top-tier weapons.
Demon Slayer
Not widely available (mostly used by testers), but it’s a powerhouse. Think of it like Pill Brier with rain-style AoE—fast, impactful, and unique. If this becomes public, expect chaos.
Common Green Weapon
Yes, a common weapon made it here. It’s that good. Despite being low rarity, it has three crits, solid combos, and can slam enemies with ease. It defies rarity logic and deserves this spot.
A Tier – Strong but Not OP
SSK Sword
This was once the best in the game. After a few nerfs, it’s no longer at the top, but it’s still reliable. Strong crit, clean combos—just not as oppressive as before.
Cality Fist
The only real fist option, so it gets use by default. It’s fast and flashy, but lacks real kill power. It’s viable, but mostly for its speed rather than strength.
New Red Crit Weapon
A recent addition with two big red crits and decent AoE. While it hasn’t proven itself to be S-tier yet, the potential is there. If you’re good with timing and angles, this weapon hits hard.
B Tier – Situational or Mid
1,000 Chains
This weapon used to be popular and flashy, but the hype died down. It’s not bad, just very average. The main issue is its low damage over time and the fact that it’s just not impactful anymore.
Boss Weapon
Solid stats and looks cool, but doesn’t perform well in ranked. In casual or PvE, maybe. In serious PvP? Too slow and predictable.
80 Heavy Weapon
It deals good damage, but requires high Heavy stat investment, which limits build variety. Not many go this route, and for good reason—it’s just not practical in the current meta.
C Tier – Usable but Weak
Necro
A light weapon trying to deal medium-type damage, which results in being underwhelming. It’s not horrible, just not competitive. If you have nothing better, go for it, but don’t expect miracles.
Rapier
Looks clean and has smooth crits, but in actual combat, it’s easy to parry and too reliant on perfect spacing. Versus good players, this gets shut down fast.
Dagger Spear
Another weapon that’s fine in early game or casual play, but in Chime or ranked, it gets outclassed. Low impact, predictable swings, and doesn’t scale well.
F Tier – Avoid These
Juju Flame
Once a fan favorite, now one of the worst in the game. It has flashy animations but lacks any real damage or utility. It’s completely outclassed in every way.
Charcoal Sound Crit Weapon
Every time it crits, it plays a sound—cool idea, poor execution. The issue? The sound gives away the crit timing, so enemies just parry or dodge. It’s a gimmick at best.
Negative F Tier – Just Delete These
Trash Spear
It might look decent when used, but it performs terribly. Poor range, terrible crit windows, no real pressure. Completely non-viable in the current state.
Legendary Failure
This unnamed legendary weapon is shockingly bad. For something so rare, it’s almost offensive how weak it is. It needs a massive buff—do not touch this unless you want to lose fights.
So there you have it—a full breakdown of the Heian weapon meta as it stands now. Some weapons feel like they were built to dominate, while others… well, probably shouldn’t be in the game at all. If you’re serious about climbing, stick to the S and A tier picks, and maybe avoid wasting time trying to make Juju Flame viable again.
