[@ZeroNeedsCoffee]

Every time I see these sprites it just makes me love pixel art even more

[@somefries3101]

i love when they drop and you can see the icons of the weapons, very satisfactory specially because i don't see RPGs putting the sword icon at the side of the name

[@RJR4646]

Crissagrim is my favorite. I remember when i was child and saying "omg is so fast that Alucard dont do the animation attack, its so cool"

[@aldrincayanan9500]

I was like "Look, I can make Alucard attack even on the move."

[@DBCOOPER888]

It's too OP. If feels like a cheat code that trivializes the entire game.

[@dylpickle0192]

@@DBCOOPER888I mean to be fair, if you don’t know about it or where to get one, most people probably won’t ever obtain it in a casual playthrough (unless you’re insanely lucky). It took me about 45 mins just to farm for mine.

[@dr4gonblitz]

WOW! I can't believe you could be so wrong about all of my favorite weapons and now I am depression

[@saint-saens7429]

I'm also depression.

[@TiNRiB]

I'm so disappointed, I am vengeance.

[@ChargeQM]

Hi depression I'm dad

[@henriquevaz1496]

[@scottfoster4548]

I found the Crissaegrim on my first playthrough and didn't even test it out until I was about to face Galamoth because it's power was low, but boy was I surprised when I took him down in seconds. The game basically clears itself once you get it.

[@faleilham8334]

Did you found Varda Ring on first playthrough?

[@scottfoster4548]

@@faleilham8334 I never said I hacked the game 😄 I didn't find out about that drop until many years later.

[@Skotzenn]

I think Chakram got done dirty. 1 of those in each hand, it's like a forcefield that disintegrates enemies and stops all projectiles, you don't even have to stop walking.

[@niki75]

Shield Rod+Alucard Shield is better than Crissaegrim and is generally easier to get. But Crissaegrim is still Crissaegrim and it's therefore S tier

[@MxMe-su1ch]

Level 99 Sword Familiar does more damage than Crissaegrim, but I still prefer dual wielding the latter.

[@Campinis]

Agreed....254 damage when an enemy hits against Alucard shield

[@mikenogen]

That combo is so broken I swear every boss suddenly became a toddler game. I remember beating Galamoth and Dracula by just standing and holding the shield.

[@vax.8491]

sword of dawn UNDER TYRFING is crazy

[@Glitch-Gremlin]

Shield Rod is pretty OP paired with i forget which shield..cause it summoned a hot naked anime lady, for my 12 year old eyes. And thus caused many a happy moments for me lol

[@SyRose901]

lmfao it's the Herald Shield!

[@MartinezLVTV]

Shield Rod with Iron Shield, forget it, game over, too easy with Mystic Pendant or Manna Prisms and Duplicator.

[@blazegg8209]

Had me laughing from the start "If your weapon is not on here its shit" 😂

[@Altelier]

No Basilard is wild

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

I know it doesn't matter much for speed tech, but I always thought Fist of Tulkas was great because it was like a weapon and shield combined. It adds great defense, and can even be used to do that cool pose that can block some stuff. Playing casually, it was always my "ultimate shield" along with the "ultimate weapon" Crissaegrim. I also love how you can do the JoJo punches then use the Crissaegrim at the same time, even though it's a bit wonky with how it cancels the punches early sometimes for some reason. That was always my favorite way to fight Dracula. I know, I'm such casual trash. ;p

[@kwith]

Dual wield Crissagrim and SOTN is on Easy mode. Once you kill enough Schmoos to get 2, then you don't need anything else.

[@mjorge0alves]

It's on "way too easy" after one.

[@thorjelly]

It's on "way too easy" without one. SotN is an easy game.

[@EdgyContents]

Remember finishing game with chakram and thinking its the most op thing ever. It was my initial run and I didnt know swords had their special attacks. Didnt know about crissaegrim etc either. I had to play the game again when I learned about weapon skills. Still chakram is an amazing weapon. Great range and good dmg

[@kingenfuuken]

Were bane is A+ tier for sure, the damage is absolutely crazy on the special.

[@dcfromthev]

Stoked to see Marsil getting the love, it deserves it! Highly underrated weapon! I really dig the special attack too, it's good for nailing distant enemies and flying ones too. Very handy in busy rooms with lots of annoying enemies, it one-hits weaker foes most times.

[@jamaicanbobsledder1569]

Thank you, I thought I was the only one that loved the marsil

[@Bruce_Fernandes]

True, the Marsil is very underrated. I always thought of it as an upgraded variant of firebrand sword, due to sharing the same element. The Marsil is actually a fun sword and its special attack is among the coolest specials in the game, in my opinion.

[@harizotoh7]

Fist and knives have two attacks per swing, with the second one you can hold down to block projectiles. This secondary shield move is niche, but results in the famous double hit when you get close to an enemy. It is likely not intended.

[@holderofashtrays]

alucart sword deserves s tier cuz of the luck boost smh.

[@dylpickle0192]

Idk about S-tier but I used the Alucart gear for the Luck boost specifically to farm for Crissaegrim and Muramasa. The weapon itself though I’d at least put it in C-tier. Not great but not the worst weapon and has _some_ utility.

[@-Constrick-]

Sword of Dawn ranked as D?? No way.

[@jasonswitzer3629]

35:31 Werebane dragged me through the game the first time I played it. Right up until Galamoth clubbed me to death.

[@flyagain3598]

rip sword familiar

[@elcidgaming]

i cant believe I can still recognize most of these after decades

[@AnarquiaCookbook]

Crissaegrim is so sick except when you're playing vanilla and have to grind Shmoo for 3 hours.

[@JeffreyBezeau]

got lucky with it on my second playthrough. Dropped it on the 5th shmoo i encountered, not even knowing that this sword existed in the game. I legit discovered it like that and i was like: Wtf is this sword...broken af.

[@lneri7152]

alucart set plus luck potions make it a lot easier, i think i got mine in an hour. only downside is that you take a good amount of damage.

[@RicardodOliveiraa]

I completely disagree about Chakram, it is absurdly strong, you can throw 2 it does not interrupt movement and if you have 2 you can throw 4, you can control its distance and vertical speed. It has a native Pierce status which is ∞, even though it is a Slash weapon. Also even though the base damage is 15, it is a bounce weapon, meaning it hits twice. It has a insane swing speed, you really never played with it, it is an offense to have it B tier

[@LocalChoker]

Agreed

[@SyRose901]

Chakram's base damage is technically inferior to the elemental swords, and it is much, much slower than the swords, so not a great damage dealer by itself. It is also cursed for the speedrunner, since you can actually outrun your own Chakrams with backdashing, meaning that it has an even longer cooldown than normal. Still great as a secondary weapon, just use Chakram along with a sword and you will deal good damage.

[@FatalFord]

Ice Brand was "that weapon" I picked up the one run of SotN I ever played. I definitely felt like "whoa this is pretty strong " when I got it early. Glad to see I'm not crazy!

[@JeffreyBezeau]

same, icebrand is the sword i used for most of my first playthrough until i got back the alucard sword. Then i just equiped the whole alucard set because "thats what i'm suppose to run with".

[@kennethrutt7986]

Surprised the shield rod was ranked so low, and that you didn't talk about the fact you can just walk through bosses and get healed at the same time if you use it with the Alucard Shield.

[@reginangel_official]

said shield is only obtainable in the inverted castle, besides marblung does a better job with damage, speed and literally can be a full replacement over shield rod

[@SyRose901]

As a weapon, it's just decent. Lycanthrope Randomizer really shows it off since you always start with Shield Rod, but the only shield you get is Shaman Shield, the spell gives +10 INT. The weapon works well enough for the entirety of the first castle, but falls off pretty hard starting with the upper half of second castle. With a good shield(Iron, Fire, Medusa, and Alucard shield, maybe Dark shield), yeah, it's so good but yeah, there's a reason people literally equip it only for the spell. For comparison, Mablung stays a lot longer since it does very good damage by itself.

[@pehhii]

Would've been nice to add an explanation regarding STR values for wielding swords, but still, good watch.

[@GG-yo9yh]

I can't believe you did the combat knife so dirty

[@chrisoliver5302]

I had to admit, you had me going about the Crissagraem. I was like...S....S!...S!!! LOL.

[@shaikhyasin4618]

I’m happy that there are other people who appreciate this game

[@irkjustice5600]

The first time I played SOTN through, I didn't know about some of the other weapons. After I found the Chakram, I played through the rest of the game with it all the way to the end.

[@altheapolyam]

I feel like the rune sword is one of the best just because of how strong the range and movility with it can get. I get it, damage wise is not the best, but is still strong, I'd put it A+ at least.

[@AGore88]

Loved this

[@catfishunter28]

You do have the Alucard sword at the beginning of the game lol plus alucart sword with alucart armor gives you a huge luck boost.

[@hardxmeister]

Really Nice video ❤❤❤❤❤ thx

[@andreaoliva4502]

Yewel fist if you get it before you fight doplerganger is a HEAVEN, is usefull (for me) until the 3/4 of the normal castle.

[@MrFox-tc6tc]

Doesn't the Alucart gear boots your luck stat when worn together

[@augustsbautra]

But did you know equipping two swords of the sky and using them at the same time does full-screen attack? Anyway, that, Criss, and Rune blade.

[@user-py4um9ir3z]

The Alucart Sword works very well when you have the rest of the Alucart stuff equipped. Your Luck stat gets a massive increase. But as a sword on its own, yeah it isn't much good.

[@greenshyt]

Werebane IMO is high B, its non elemental and Melts bosses but since you diden't know it had the special and haven't tested it I forgive the ignorance.

[@stonetic2515]

Finished it with Osafune when I first got the game. Loved that thing and its teleport attack.

[@thatonenoob1050]

masumune is just the better version of it

[@devildave36]

I wish he added the attack of the weapons in the game to see it in action

[@erndaman8641]

In my playthrought I always get Masamune, I personally refrain from using Crissaegrim because it's too cheesy where as Masamune it turns you into a glass cannon.

[@GG-yo9yh]

Also, you didn't include the leather shild.. tf lol 😆

[@felipeluz5035]

Ranking of all shields next? It should be a quick one. Maybe an explanation of "with" and "without" the Shield Rod, to make it a bit longer... xD

[@Bald-N-Inked]

If shields we are talking about: Medusa > Dark > Alucard > the rest.

[@SyRose901]

​@@Bald-N-InkedOh, you mean without the Shield Rod? Then I agree lol

[@kaioken3691]

Lol Werebane is my favourite sword in game next to Masamune and Crissaegrim! Cheers!

[@zylomorph]

Joel needs no weapon

[@diabeticmonkey]

I would say I love Crissagrim, but that’s too obvious. The Jewel Sword is fun, as is the Heaven Sword. I enjoy messing with stuff too much to worry about if a weapon is good or not.

[@Zetzuvou]

Sword of dawn is B tier it's great to watch the summons destroy everything and fight bosses

[@habibkiller1156]

need castlevania sotn boss tier list

[@albinoitj]

Now you know what to do.. Finish the game with only the worst weapon.. Not only that.. Make it more difficult like Nerbit does.. You cannot even kill enemies without it.. Not sure how you get it.. But if it's a drop... You can kill only the enemies that drop it with fists and after you have to use it all the time.

[@joshmontano9866]

What about the saturn exclusive weapons Like the Astral Dagger, Double Axe Blade, and the Alucard Spear?

[@aarond3987]

No sword familiar sword 😭

[@Maximillian200HP]

Two Heaven Swords is fun, Two Rune Swords is fun, Rune Sword + Heaven Sword is fun. Two Charkrams is INSANE!

[@transformerboy8898]

What dose the letters mean on the some of the weapons?

[@titomalb]

mablung sword with alucard's shield you kill dracula so fast i think deserves S in this case same for shield rod

[@necrogen8205]

You forgot the sword Brothers weapon. Level up the familiar and it becomes a weapon.

[@jadenknott]

And that's why it's not on the list, smiley face

[@niemand7811]

The AlucarT Sword has a different use. You use it with AlucarT Shield and AlucarT Armor. This will increase your luck status +30.

[@josephpowers7155]

Nj on the jupiter seed DB// have a great day

[@furyiifenix5912]

Desagree, I think is A tier, the powerful holy rod. Or at least better than ice sword.

[@vesuvius2444]

Sword of Dawn was done dirty in the rankings

[@niemand7811]

Teleport attack with katanas might be cool but these lower your defense drastically. I never use them altogether.

[@yermongo]

Shield Rod + Alucard Shield = win button.

[@nikoscrum1077]

No weapon that start with U? Instant S tiee, right behind Crissaegrim

[@PauloYgor1]

Where's familiar sword?

[@jimmyclimer594]

Shield rod with Alucard shield is the best because you do the most damage, heal, and are invulnerable while it activates.

[@darbling]

I thought this was Shadow of the Nolosuss??

[@jamaicanbobsledder1569]

My man put gram and Alucard sword in the same tier. 😂😂😂😂😂😂, not sure what he's smoking but I don't want it.

[@claimhsolais3466]

If you done everything correctly, you need 3-5 hours to max out Muramasa. So you're clearly do something wrong.

[@Dr4gonBlitzDaily]

Try it yourself then and post a video of doing it. I've been doing it as fast as possible and on my 50 hour file I'm only at 800ish attack out of 999 but feel free to prove me wrong

[@guarana6]

​@@Dr4gonBlitzDailydid you use the octopus room?

[@tamalien01]

Where is medusa head? Just kiddin' will wait for shield tier list

[@valastralium]

Sword familiar wasn't on the list, but it could easily have the highest damage per hit in the game

[@izicial7469]

Nope. Murumasa or w/e the sword that powers up with blood is the highest damage per hit weapon in the game.

[@Unit_00]

funny heaven sword meme but I actually wanted to know what tier you would give it lol

[@roetemeteor]

Previously, he said it was really bad. However, recently, he discovered two of them 1 cycle dracula's with it's special use, with ease in fact. That would put a single one in C tier, but two of them around, probably above the elemental weapons. You're not gonna want to run the game with it, but it ensure you kill dracula and bosses quickly at least.

[@cristianmartinez9049]

Chakram is the best in the first castle specially if u rush it

[@DIRTkat_ofc]

Quick question in case anyone appears to answer: doesn't estoc do like a fuckton of damage? Or am I misremembering?

[@5orgen51]

Ya but it's so slow, plus it can get you killed if you're not careful.

[@BelmontClan]

Cri-say-grim that’s how it’s pronounced do be kind enough not to butcher you word.

[@user-yj8py8rh5x]

Alucart should be rated higher, it is very useful specially in grinding due to Alucart set major luk boost

[@robertferguson2091]

Shield Rod plus Medusa Shield, easiest to get

[@Waxxumus]

Shield rod and alucard shield top tier forever and ever

[@ignasiusputra3308]

Crissaegrim deserve to s class weapon. That's the best weapon in the game!

[@Shanelingus]

I don't speedrun or anything but one of my personal favorites is the heaven sword. Getting 2 with the special attack is nice. U can get it pretty early and gain exp from farming it.

[@Shanelingus]

I was half way through the video when I commented on my favorite weapon. Didn't think it would have it's own tier let alone above all weapons.

[@Shanelingus]

BTW, I hope he smokes a ll the weeds. Lol

[@itstheweirdguy]

I'm interested in this

[@ChargeQM]

HEH HEH THANK YOU

[@jadenknott]

FAREWELL FOR NOW

[@illyahrthebard3303]

Come on, Alucart sword needs at least C tier for Alucart mode. You wear the three Alucart pieces and you get a +30 to your Luck

[@SyRose901]

DB believed, wrongly, that it reduced Alucard's ATK, but it doesn't. It increases ATK by 2. I think that's exactly the same as the Short Sword and 1 more than Basilard, but Basilard hits much faster. Good hitbox means it's actually on par with Empty Hand. Damage is at least low B tier actually lol. The misremembering is so understandable, though, since you always have superior stuff when you get Alucart Sword, and it just reduces your ATK compared to your current weapon lol.

[@bchd8829]

No Damascus sword?

[@essentures]

Where' holbein dagger? T.T

[@bbobjs]

I do feel a bit baited not getting a real opinion about the heaven sword.

[@JeffreyBezeau]

it was sarcasm. Obviously the weapon aint that great.

[@elcidgaming]

For me when it looked cool that's S tier

[@dcfromthev]

Did you GAIN a mole or am I trippin?

[@PlanetOfTheApes999]

Tyrfing is lul tier.

[@Taernost]

I get that the Sword of Dawn special is basically useless, and the hit box and swing speed are garbage, so D tier seems fine, but below Tyrfing when there's nearly a 60 point attack power gulf between them?

[@neilcorpin]

Crissaegrim best weapon.

[@thanebear]

Very very true and based.

[@darksideeditions4251]

Where is Yasutsuna? The strongest katana. Wtf.

[@Aluze]

That's not a greatsword it's like gram or something. it does boring regular sword stuff
