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:

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.
