The best torch for pve by far is the beast repellent torch. Makes so annoying things completely trivial. Dogs, wolves, giant dogs, rats and the basilisks all don’t attack you. You can two hand your other weapon and keep this effect as well.

[@ZomgLolPants]

It's also an absolute cheese for the fight against the lil guy in the leyndell sewers for the lord of bloods exultation talisman.

[@RayPoreon]

The grafted dragon is actually great in PVE, tons of damage on an off-hand ash of war that lets you keep using a normal weapon. It used to be even more nutty but when buffs applied to your right hand applied to weapon skills on your left. In pvp...it's not great. You're never gonna hit it in a duel unless your opponent gets super cocky or you use some tech to land the initial hits when you stick the fist down. It can be useful in invasions with tight corridors or closed off rooms though.

jar cannon is 100% the best invasion weapon. suprise attack? jar cannon. blue shows up? jar cannon. fighting pve? jar cannon. mage with terra magica? jar cannon. warming stone? jar cannon. hiding behind a wall? jar cannon. near a ledge? jar cannon

[@ThomasStillwell]

It's a real shame that some of these weapons aren't ballenced more. I really like maces and I try to use them sometimes but I usually end up going back to a Greatsword or a Colossal sword.

[@frozenyeet]

only thing i gotta disagree with personally are reapers being B-tier i wouldve put them in C-tier other than that everything else is pretty spot on

[@moonman5496]

Black bow best bow, Celebrants cleaver with swords dance has multiple mix ups especially with charged heavies

[@casulscrub5978]

As a rule, I avoid any poky weapons except for Bestoc or Partizan because their moveset is just boring and unfun. Iron ball is my favorite fist weapon. Slap cragblade on that bad boy, two-handed running R2 into R2 R2 just melts health bars. Some would say that Star Fist is objectively better, but it looks better, and you don't even need the bleed. It's that good.

[@gunnarsundt852]

You should do a tier list with all the "best" weapons from this video.

Maan the dragon greatclaw couldve been soo good if they just gave it a red lightning aow lol.

[@aaronharvey5838]

I think this list is very good. In my opinion I would put twin blades higher and great hammers lower

[@alexl3438]

Great video, it’s good to see a pvp player evaluate the weapons that get thrown to the way side fairly. Give a try to main hand tree spear and off hand guardian sword spear on a 60 dex 30 faith build, probably my favorite set up lately in competitive pvp atm

[@MoonSonTonManShip]

[@CantMuffin]

As a dagger veteran aka masochist, reduvia best, black knife favorite. Overall, if fists are S then daggers are A tier after the latest patch

[@tylers6868]

On my second play through I’ve been using a cross naginata with the nagakiba ash of war and it’s phenomenal against enemies. Before that I was using elenoras twin blade until it started to fall behind on damage scaling. It still has its uses such as a big group of enemies that just sucks for the naginata( although if you can funnel enemies with the nagakiba ash you can just skewer them all at once) Since you did a weapon tier list though, why not a spell tier list

[@Seeker106]

Man use a knights twinblade with fron affinity as a ash of war spinning slash talismans rotten sword insignia+ Millicent prosthesis and the flask that buffs attacks it melts people really easy

[@acidicspecter]

Bro said that Loretta's War Sickle was good? That int stick never lands a regular R1, and when it does, it loses poise trades to a flail. Yet, somehow, the winged scythe is worse despite having a competent R1 chain, better jumping attacks, and higher damage. If Loretta's didn't have a thrust running attack, you'd drop it like China that your mom told you not to play with. Goddamn.

[@bobzthabarbarian]

Only thing I could see possibly being changed, is whips. They can definitely be S if you're using the petal whips w/ cold affinity. You can proc frost and bleed so easy with them and your opponent may not have a chance to touch you. Referring to your Hoslow cosplay video. Those things can be nasty.

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

Twinblades are the opposite of fists they are a D tier pvp option but an A and S tier pve option while I think fists have the reverse issue. Gargoyles twinblade is one of the best strength weapons in the game not even kidding pair it with an ailment and it’s great

[@allbankbasalisk___2005]

Kinda rip that everything rated so highly is mainly because of how op it’s specific power stance is

[@gamerogalax]

I am at level 290, ng+7, 210 hours, did platinum. Now seriously waiting for the dlc

[@TheValiantBob]

Personally I would have swapped curved gs and claws. Claws can just have absolutely brutal dps, and have bleed on top of everything else. Meanwhile curved gs while despite being a class that is near and dear to my heart, is a bit too slow that I personally find they have trouble hitting players in pvp. If their speed was tweaked just a bit to be a tad faster, than yeah, bump them back up to A tier. Also, a bit torn on the curved sword and straight sword placements. Mainly because with powerstance, yes they are totally S tier. But just using a single one, they're very B or C tier core where they're perfectly middle of the road of being "just okay" and not amazing or terrible. Because of that I'm not sure if they should be averaged out to an A or high B+, or if it'd be better to rank their powerstances separately from the main category.

[@misosoup5ever]

I basically judge weapons by how often Chase the Bro uses them, so reapers are probably A tier

The Ivory sickle is the worst Dagger but the celebrants Sickles have the best dex scaling of ALL daggers and do superior damge by far. Also they can chip sheild users.

[@Felkon]

Surprised how well you evaluated the list. Thats some good shit. I dont think anyone need to know, but best bow is black bow, as it has moveset of light bows and damage of longbows. Pls dont use it :< Greatbows sux and we all know it Dont sleep on daggers, they have insane range for how short they supposed to be, atm better side arm then basic rapiers. If you play duels alot, you see people spam it. Also most curved greatswords are kinda trash, bloodhound and Morgotts ones are shining exceptions from overall shitty category. Did you ever get 1 shotted by 2 giant collosal hammers? I did, i am bad, but thats not fun, again, probably exception of a rule though. Same with Anchors, who are greataxes for some reason?

[@UwntM8]

Personal favorite greatsword is the alabaster greatsword its more slept on than the gargoyles black blade, it uses less stamina than other great swords has a true combo from its R2 to its R1 when 2 handed and its charged R2 while 2handed does the 2nd most poise damage per hit in the game only beat by the colossal great club. although its the shortest in the class and doesn’t get as much ar as other int/str greatswords its also the lightest and smacks the hardest i was hitting atleast 1500-2000 per charged R2 the ash of war also has a larger area of effect than a normal gravitas ive sat godfrey down so many times with just charged r2’s and the stamina it leaves over saves my ass so much allowing me to roll away with 28 endurance you can get 6 or more charged R2’s off before your stamina bar is even drained its kinda crazy how slept on it is I can’t get enough of it

id say bump hammers up into at least c maybe b tier. may not be very good in pvp but they do pretty good in PvE, at least from my experience. only problem i realy have with them is range. Finger is also the best hammer, and anyone who says other wise is wrong because my opinion is the only one that matters. all in all though, good list. now do one for armors

10/10 just straight facts

[@lindseyneptune5545]

Seems like this list is based on little to no actual research. Especially the playing up of dual weilding, which not only consumes two and a bit more times stamina per swing, status build up is reduced on dual weilding and you're only hitting with what amounts to two R1 attacks either simultaneously or just after. Twin blade two handed build status faster than anything in the game. 0/10 list. Feels like you are pushing weapons to make your own personal pvp expeiance easier by getting your sheep to follow this list blindly.

[@monkwashere]

Dual Wielding is ridiculously strong for some weapon classes in ER i’m not sure what you’re on about. Also, you’re acting like I said to powerstance everything. I asked for any twinblade users to tell me something I’m missing so thank you for that actually. And pushing weapons to make my own experience easier? At this point your creating a narrative that isn’t there. If that was the case I would have put axes in S tier lmfao. You’re allowed to think what you want though

[@declan_dimitrescu6285]

Not trying to argue each people specialize with different weapons but. I disagree with this list entirely.... i tried fists... they suck complete ass they do decent dmg yes but theyre super short and easy to counter by just walking backwards to straifing to the left .... halberds aren't good either cause of how ridiculously easy they are to parry same with straightswords halstock is a terrible set up caus it is easy asf to parry literally everyone I've fought that used halstock/haldagger I parried cause they all tired to running r1 or roll catch me with the l1 which isn't a good idea cause I'm a parry God in these games 😆 imho the only good weapon classes for pve and pvp in er are greatswords, greatspears and Scythes 🤷‍♂️ 1. Greatssords movesets are perfection they're great at roll catching (especially claymore) the R1 on the hyphen steeple, banished knight, and knights gs always anti airs 2. Scythes do ridiculous dmg on occult infusion, the crouch r1 comes out ridiculously fast and is great for roll catching and they're not great but decent at anti airing (they're also very veristile) 3. And greatspears because of the crouch l1, jumping R1, and overall poise dmg (This is from my experience of using them and also in regards to both casual pvp and ladder)
