Elden Ring has many weapons throughout the game, including swords, axes, spears, knives, katanas, scythes, bows, and more. This rank list deciphers each weapon’s capabilities by their most key, essential statistic. These statistics also depend on the weapon type. For example, considering a staff is fit for a mage, it’s most reliant on its sorcery.
On the flip side, an axe is dependent on dealing with a large amount of brunt physical damage. Tiers will section this list; S, A, B, C, D, E, and F. S is the best weapons found in Elden Ring, whereas F tier is the worst, weakest weapons in the game.
