Weapon Tiers help to organize weapons from the most useful weapons to the least useful. Keep in mind that due to different play styles and leveling up, lower tier weapons may be more useful for different characters or players. The Weapon Tiers help to organize the weapons into a general (but not final) list from best to last.

This tier list is almost 100% accurate due to the weapons descending in level requirement (excluding the DLC weapons).

Calculating Tiers

The way to calculate weapon tiers is by adding or subtracting all stats on a weapon to get one number, called a grade. This number will determine its rank. If a weapon has an elemental effect, multiply 3 by the number of its percent chance and add that number to its grade. If a weapon has a critical hit effect, multiply 4 by the number of its percent chance and add that number to its grade.

For example: The Demon sword has +2 strength, +2 magic, and +2 agility, giving it +6. It also has a 2% fire damage, so 3*2=6. This translates to +6, which adds to its original +6 giving it a total of 12, which is its grade.

Even though this is the way to calculate the weapons statistics it doesn't mean that weapon is the best for you. If you are heavily focused on agility your best bet is to go with the Skeletor Mace or the Sai instead of the NG Gold Skull Mace. Even though for direct damage the NG Gold Skull Mace is better.

Also note that critical hits do not work for magic, so if you focus exclusively on magic, you would be better off discounting the weapon's strength stat and critical hit rate. In that case, your best choices would most likely be the Glowstick or the Black Morning Star.
