The Best Weapons Per Stat

Best Elden Ring Weapon List

While our Elden Ring weapon tier list covers all weaponry, we also will provide you our personal preferences regarding weapons for each stat. Here’s the list of the ones we recommend for most builds:

  • Strength:
    • Greatsword
    • Axe of Godfrey
  • Dexterity:
    • Hand of Malenia
    • Godskin Peeler
  • Intelligence:
    • Dark Moon Greatsword
    • Moonveil
  • Faith:
    • Blasphemous Sword
    • Black Knife
  • Arcane:
    • Rivers of Blood
    • Eleonora’s Poleblade

With the absurd amount of weapons in this list of Elden Ring, it might be difficult to pick only a few to take with you. However, we recommend keeping this tier list with you so you can focus on getting the best for a specific build. If some take longer to get, you can always pick one from a lower tier and replace it later.
