How to Use This Tier List
This tier list ranks weapons based on their overall performance across all content types. Weapons in higher tiers generally offer more value, but remember that the best weapon for a character depends on their kit and your team composition.
We've organized weapons by their type (Sword, Broadblade, Gauntlet, Rectifier, Pistol) to help you find the best options for each character. Within each category, weapons are ranked from SS (best) to C (usable but outclassed).

Weapon Selection Tips
When choosing a weapon for your character, consider these factors:
- Match the weapon type to your character's preferred weapon
- Consider whether the weapon's substat (CRIT Rate, ATK%, etc.) complements your character's kit
- Evaluate how well the passive ability synergizes with your character's playstyle
- For 5-star weapons, consider whether the improvement over a 4-star alternative justifies the investment
- Remember that refinement can significantly improve a weapon's performance, especially for 4-star options
