Ranking EVERY Cuphead Weapon

Sorry that this month's upload took a while to come out, but I hope the wait was worth it! This is the most amount of work I've put into a video so far. New techniques, two weeks of struggling with keyframes, and a LOT of images. But now it's here and I hope you enjoy it!

Personally I disagree with your opinion on chalices heart special. It isn’t all that useful in the base game. But it is really useful whilst trying to S rank bosses, especially ones you aren’t consistent with. And yes heart ring is good, it does force you to play as Cuphead forcing you to not be able to use the borderline broken features of chalice.

[@FootLettuce]

Play the level "Perilous Pier" You'll see how broken "trash" weapons are Chaser and Chalice heart special saved me

I don't really hear many other people talking about how Cuphead and Mugman's Giant Ghost Special can be controlled by locking cuphead's movement. By locking their movement as you would their normal attacks, you control where the ghost goes

Thank you

[@Abladicus]

@@Air_Pillow i hope you saw my comment on the video, no? Ok here it is Twist up argument rebuttal nobody asked for: (This is not slander I'm just going to say this to make a point) [Aim diagonally] Aiming diagonally requires the RB control, which pauses Cuphead. When the boss attacks, you will have to move. It doesn't even do enough damage since you have to constantly dodge attacks and cannot aim diagonally. (In bosses in front of you that is, but this is his solution for these bosses.) Plus, if you aim diagonally, it will mostly just hit the ground before the boss and disappear. [If the three twisters hit, it will have the same damage output as roundabout, so it is not worse] In his footage you can notice barely any twisters hit and it is sort of infrequent. Plus, you end up hitting the boss far more with the roundabout. The roundabout is much more useful in more situations (Like the Chef S. phase 2.) [It's not very situational, you have to aim better, and you can use it for many bosses] Well most of the time you have to get up close to get all the twisters to hit, at this point just use spread. Aiming is very difficult and it isn't worth it, and it only hits the boss for a few occasions, and even then, it's not the best weapon. Here is all the bosses he says are good for, and my rebuttal. [Root Pack] How so? You can't aim diagonally, or it will hit the floor and disappear. The only way to hit the potato and onion is to go close to them, but the spread just does more damage. I can see people thinking the carrot is good for twist-up, but you are constantly moving left and right so only a few twisters will hit. Even spread is easier to use, jumping and aiming up with it does a ton on damage, it deals with mini carrots too. When he zaps, just move and continue doing damage in between zaps! Also, Crack-shot is also very good, because it hits a lot and the uncracked parts do a lot more damage and still hit. [Cagney Carnation] Just no. This time you can aim diagonally, but it is still hard to use and my first point about it still stands. I can never see anyone thinking this is the weapon they will equip for this boss (and many other bosses), because they're are so many better ones. [Ribby and Croaks] You never get a good chance to hit. Just use spread, roundabout, or crack-shot. [Baroness Von Bon Bon] This is mediocre, but it doesn't deal with most of the mini bosses as well as others, plus the last phase is just no. [Beppi The Clown] It may work, but spread is way better. [Rumor Honneybottoms] The first and last phase is not viable for twist-up, but the second phase barely works for it. [Captain Briney-Beard] It sounds like it would work, but you're not hitting him that much. [Werner Werman] It isn't good for the first phase, its fine for half the second phase, and it's pretty good for the last phase. You can use the spread for second phase and the last phase, but it is still good. No shot I'm using it for this boss fight though. [Phantom Express] It's situational for this fight. The first phase is bad, the second phase sound like it would be good, but it's less viable than the spread, same with the third phase. But for the final phase, just use crack-shot. [Chips Bettigan] It sounds good, but you shouldn't equip it because the rest of the fight is harder with it. [Pip and Dot] The conveyor belt pushes you too far away. [Hopus Pocus] Most of the fight, you have to be on the card, do you could be doing more damage. [Pirouletta] Same problem with Chips Bettigan. Also spread works way better, plus if you don't have smoke bomb it's useless. [Mangosteen] You are moving back and forth? Yes, so it will not hit. Plus you could go towards the middle with spread to have more time to react to the chalk. [King Dice] Yeah, you are moving back and forth. The twisters will hit less than spread anyways. [The Devil] I hope you see a pattern, the reason he says it is could for a lot of fight is because it is close to you, so the twisters will hit. But same with spread. Also the first phase isn't good for twist up is because you move back and forth. [Glumb-Stone the Giant] The first phase isn't good, I already explained why aiming diagonally isn't good. The second phase is just roundabout or spread. The third phase, you are moving a lot, and so is where you need to hit. It cannot hit very much. [Moonshine Mob] It doesn't hit in the first phase, same with the second phase and... same with the third phase. Why would you ever use it on this fight? [Howling Aces] You are moving, and the boss is moving, so it don't do enough damage. That applies to the first and second phase. Also never use it on the third phase. That is because you aren't going to hit her, unless you're up close, but just use the spread then. Also the screen is sideways she it right above you and the twist-up doesn't go exactly above you. You cannot aim because you have to dodge. [Mortimer Freeze] For the first phase, You are moving, and the boss is moving, almost no damage. Also, it is pretty obvious why you wouldn't bring it to the other phases. [Chef Saltbaker] The first phase it bullet hell, so you aren't hitting very many shots. The second phase is outranked spread and roundabout once again. Do not use it for the other two phases, it won't go well. [Angel and Demon] Hmmm... I wonder why he says this. Maybe because you go up close. I wonder what weapon does that better, and PotatoKing said it was worse on the tier list... Hmmm. Finally, I finished that! Anyways lets go back to his argument. [Those bosses can be dealt with pretty efficiently!] Only like two or three can. That makes it.... SITUATIONAL! It would still be difficult to beat these bosses only with twist-up. At least if you had to beat them with spread, that would be a whole lot easier- yet he still puts spread under twist-up. [More than half the bosses in the game, still you think it's unviable?] I explained why it isn't effective to those bosses. Plus using twist-up is never the best choice for one of your shots in a boss. In conclusion, this Potato thinks it is better than spread, that isn't true. Spread does more damage, and mostly to hit with twist-up you have to go close. When a boss is above you, you still don't hit much. I don't even think he uses twist up as his weapon a lot (Because it is never the best choice.)

[@fartballs77]

Twist-up can be *viable*, doesn’t mean it isn’t just outclassed.

[@ceddavis7441]

Charge shot just really greases my gears, love it so much. Dunno why homing is so controversial, it's just a handicapped laser with homeing. Roundabout is really fun. Twister, as a Terraria player, get good, if you hate you bad at the game, or you hate gimmicks. Most ex shots are bad to me, simply cause saving up to the supers gives you better stuff. I usually run invincible, it pairs really well with spread, though the others are really cool.

Roundabout is better than twist up because Roundabout functions in basically the same way, is more intuitive to use, and consistently deals the same amount of damage as max damage Twist Up, which fundamentally is less consistent as the three hits don’t always connect. If the boss is above you, just aim down. I put Twist Up in useless due to the existence of Roundabout. All I’m going to say is first try to beat all bosses with roundabout (especially Rumour Honeybottoms and the third phase of the Snow Cult). And at the point where all the Twist Up hits connect, when you’re standing right next to them, just use Spreadshot. Also, Miss Chalice Super 2, the Shield Pal, is super useful for getting S Ranks.

[@gacha2.010]

Thank you for saying this, I thought the same thing but I feel like I would’ve gotten a lot of backlash if I said it also, you are universally right about the shield thing

[@Hyperfrost9871]

I think every weapon is better than twist up tbh, also I agree with you on the shield pal super.

[@cowserthekhelinace]

Spread EX is amazing for background bosses that stand still like Root Pack phase 3, Beppi phase 4, etc. Since you can get inside their hitbox without taking damage, you can easily land all 8 shots, as well as the main Spread being able to instantly hit all its shots if you're standing right in them means you can easily build up a ton of damage.

[@nguyenquyetthang1326]

[@aj23013]

Spread EX and whetstone in my opinion are comparable when talking about DPS. Whetstone is really spamable and does good damage for it's speed WHEN USED CORRECTLY. But, it's really easy to learn correctstone to do lots of dmg when used with crackshot, lobber, chaser, or roundabout.

[@thatguyyoumightfindatthest9807]

I'd like to mention that Converge doesn't always have to be locked in. If anything, the weapon has the properties of both spread and peashooter. It's a favorite of mine because it takes the damage output of Spread, and applies the range of Peashooter to the weapon. A long range blaster, and you'd consider more space from the bosses up, down and center, B Tier? Huh

[@staikan]

it has slightly more dps than peashooter, but unless you are aiming you are probably going to miss more shots. also the ex move is a worse version of peashooter's. its dps is way worse than spread's so it cant really be an alternative to it. i can only see converge as a viable option against bosses that spawn a lot of enemies, but even then there are better alternatives like roundabout, which stays on screen for far longer which helps with dealing with enemies. i see your point with it being a combination between peashooter and spread, but by combining them you get a result that is lackluster in both departments. what i can clearly see with weapons tho, is that the general stats or what the most viable option for each boss is doesnt matter as long as you like that weapon. what i mean by that is that even tho a weapon isnt the best for a specific boss, if you like it, or feel confident in using it, then u can use it, justy like potato king likes twist up and considers it to be viable in a lot of scenarios, when in reality there are better options for almost all the bosses he mentions. with all of these, he is good at using the weapon and he seems to like using it, so it doesnt matter that it isnt the best option. if it works for you, then yes, converge can be good, but from an objective point of view i find it mediocre.

[@TheaverageSpectator]

The word "outclassed" is something commonly used in gaming to say "there are better options" or so and so. The DEFINITION of outclassed is Twist-up. I am so tired of all the MDHR suckups defending this weapon for whatever odd reason. You want to hit a boss above you? Crackshot. "Aim downwards for horizontal shooting" half the time you are on the floor, and the floor blocks your shot. The description of Twist up states it has average damage. For something you have to aim so awkwardly, you'd think it makes up for improved damage. Tell me to kms or whatever you're gonna say, Twist-up does NOT deserve the constant defense

[@TheSoulCalledZuzia]

It does deserve it, its a good weapon

[@maxwellmegagamer8535]

Here’s the thing about lobber, it’s not really for normal uses, utility is basically a must for it and knowing specific tricks and knowledge about the projectile itself. For example: When a boss is about to pop up on screen, (Beppis phase 4 transition and root packs phase 2 transition) Stand where they will be and shoot directly up. The lobbers will keep bouncing and hit the boss for a lot of early damage. It’s called a lobber trap and it’s essential for speedrunning.

[@abhikergaming7783]

Lobber in my opinion is great

[@kennymendoza1581]

Great on bootleg boogie because the higher you are, the more the bounce. I call it 'charging the shot', since it is essentially what you are able to do when the enemy isn't present. Full charge would then be the maximum number of projectiles possible. Roundabout has the same feature as well.

[@cjxander9205]

Also lobber is perfect for moonshine mob because you can shoot down through the bridge

[@megacadgeo9758]

Lobber EX has the highest damage in the game, I S-ranked the devil with Charge, Lobber, Super 3, And Cookie. If i wanted to use an ex (1st and second phase), I would quickly switch to lobber, use an ex, then switch back to charge. Edit: Twist Up actually has the best ex

Whenever I start a new save, I buy roundabout first. It’s like the charger in the sense that you can focus more on the dodge than the attack, but it does a bit more damage and I think that sometimes you actually do have to aim depending on your boss, which helps teach you that you can’t always rely on the shots to hit by themselves.

[@theownerofthisaccount2521]

Only one problem with crackshot(I did the entire game with it), technically two. This is my favorite weapon by the way One is that it targets, not homes so fast things might avoid it(don't fight Blind Specter with it), like the lone Yankee Yipper on expert But my main issue was that it has trouble on hitting minions directly above or behind you. Croaks flies on expert, Beppi's balloon dogs, Devil's minions(only case on under you because I would land on them a lot for the hand trick), Mortimer's Popsicles, the Animal Crackers, and ESPECIALLY those stupid expert jellybeans. I ended up having to lift my character's arm to the sky so it would scatter everywhere. Crackshot does wonders on Glumstone and Moonshine Mob though

Great video! I agree with everything but lober. I'd put it in A tier since it's also useful against non-platform bosses

[@yoavjacoby8246]

I really like the Pee Shooter. It's simple to aim, and hits even when I'm very far away, and it does solid damage. And I really like its EX shot (the little blue fire ball). Using it and the spread shot is how I beat pretty much all the bosses (other than a few times where I used the lobber or roundabout).

[@xbtgames]

I think I might've treated the roundabout too harshly, not that I thought it was trash, but I always used charge shot instead of roundabout instead for about every boss it was useable against. The only time I can think of using roundabout was Beppi The Clown, but other than that, I've really looked it down. This video inspires to me to replay Cuphead and use roundabout more. Thanks Potato King!

I think the whetstone is really good since it kills stuff, if you use it on the bag the puppets throw in phase two of Glumstone the giant, the phase becomes a joke, same with phase 1, 2, and the coins on phase 3 against ribby and croaks, if ya ask me, id give it an S tier because its so broken, i was originally gonna say A tier because it only can be used on the first parry, but then i realized that fights with about 1 or 2 attacks can barley even be called that with it, like all 9 bosses on the king dice board, and the angel and demon, it even works in plane levels, cause its a charm

I’m someone who rebinded my controls for Converge, and personally I think people sleep on it. When you get good at locking and hitting your shots, the damage begins to add up FAST. It feels like a shotgun with sniper range once you master locking, and I usually pair it with Roundabout/Crack Cocaine when I need to focus more on platforming

[@davidcummins2794]

[@b14z36]

Some weapons are good for most bosses some aren't but for me the best weapon layout is: Shots: Roundabout and Crackshot Super art: Super Beam for Cuphead/Mugman, Ghostly Barrage for Ms.Chalice Charm: 2 hit point (unless I use the genie then smoke dash) and Astral cookie if I want to play as Chalice.

13:30 I have to disagree with you on the Shield Pal ranking here. As someone who's hunting for S on bosses, the Shield Pal proved to be really good! You need 3 HP at least at the end of the fight to get an S; as you said, Chalice gets 4 already, and with the Shield Pal she basically has 5, if not 6! You can take up to 3 hits in a battle and still get an S score! That's worth it IMO.

Lobber has some great set-up potential if you saturate the bosses phase spawn locations with bunching shots and then combo it with a super or ex shots. That's how I always beat Beppi. When he goes to phase 4, fire as many lobs straight up, then use 4 spread ex shots right on his face. He's always dead before the 3rd train.

By a technical standpoint yes technically the charge charge shot deals the most damage but if you were to take 10 seconds or around two charged shots to the conversion conversion shot then you would get more DPS from the converge for a higher bullet outtake so technically yes the charge shot gives the most damage per singular bolt but converge deals the most damage overall

[@hehefunnyphantom]

Tip: you can use the crackshot ex with chalice to get very good mobility. This isn’t very important in casual play, but in challenges it can be invaluable.

[@SunnyBunny9621]

I couldn’t be more upset about lobber being in B while twist up being in S. Btw, I totally respect your opinion, I’m just gonna go on a tirade here of why I disagree so strongly. Lobber is better than you think. Particularly when paired with roundabout, it becomes one of the most versatile weapons in the game. It has a lot more range than you think and can also just be used as a really good up-close tank weapon. It’s also really good for pre-loading damage before a boss phase begins. Twist up is just… such a chore. Sure you can get successful hits with it if you learn how to aim with it, but what’s the point? It doesn’t even have a tanky a DPS. It certainly doesn’t belong in the same tier as roundabout.

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

The thing is, it looked like he only ranked twist up an S tier weapon based on player skill, which I personally don't think is an objective measurement you can use to determine how good something is or is not. This makes judging these sorts of things tricky at best, since the mileage you get out of it depends heavily on a variety of factors, such as how good you are at the game and how much you've practiced with it to improve your own skills, thus making this type of thing something that I believe can't be measured objectively when you have to take someone's skill into account

[@anijay64]

I agree with most things you say in this list. The only things I would rank higher is super art 2 for mrs challice. The shield pal can give you a extra hit point and not to mention you can use it as much as you want. Mrs chalice has a fantastic super art 2 and 3 and I would put super art 2 for mrs challice in S tier. And I would rank her first super art lower as well with cupheads last super art. I also think the twist up is a ok weapon.
