V Rising Weapon Tier List

In this V Rising weapon tier list, we will sort every weapon in the S-Tier to D-Tier category. The superior weapons are in the S-Tier, while the least efficient weapons are rated D-Tier.

Here’s the list of weapons categorized in different tiers:

S-Tier Weapons in V Rising

As we mentioned earlier, weapons that belong to this tier are the most efficient in the game and can be used for both PvP and PvE scenarios.

Swords

The Swords can deal with a three-hit (35/35/40) melee attack followed by two abilities. Skill 1 uses Whirlwind where the sword spins for 11 seconds while dealing 35% damage and slicing enemies all the way.

Skill 2 generates a Shockwave that inflicts 70% damage onto the enemies, launching them into the air. You can use the Shockwave skill again to warp and attack them with three more strikes, each dealing with 25% damage.

Slashers

The Slashers can also deal with a three-hit (27.5/27.5/35) melee attack followed by two abilities. Skill 1 uses an Elusive Strike that darts back and forth at your enemies, dealing 60% damage. With every hit, it stuns them for two seconds.

Skill 2 uses Camouflage where you become invisible while your speed increases by 25% for three seconds. While you’re invisible, the first attack will deal 80% damage to the enemies and disable them for three seconds. If you want to cancel this at any point, it can be done by using another skill.

Longbow

Longbows can be used to shoot projectiles that deal 60% – 120% physical damage while also granting focus which can then be used with other Longbow skills. The first skill called the Multishot shoots five piercing arrows dealing 100% physical damage and knocking enemies down.

The second skill called the Guided Arrow fires an arrow that deals 120% physical damage while also inflicting a faiding snare. The arrow comes back to hit the target again dealing another 50% damage.

A-Tier Weapons in V Rising

The weapons belonging to this Tier have a bit lower efficiency during PvP fights and are not as good as the S Tier. The Reapers and Spears are the most effective and useful in PvE.

Reapers

The Reaper’s main attack is a three-hit melee attack with 50/50/55 damage dealt. Skill 1, Tendon Swing, ripples around the enemies dealing a 125% damage within its radius.

Skill 2, Howling, launches a spinning weapon dealing 20% damage every 0.25 seconds for 2.5 seconds. The first hit slows enemies for 1.5 seconds.

Spears

The r’s primary skill is a three-hit ranged melee attack with 40/40/50 damage dealt. Skill 1, A Thousand Spears, commences an eight-time stabbing attack that deals 30% damage with each hit. Upon recasting the spell, it pushes enemies back dealing a 50% damage.

Skill 2, Harpoon, pulls enemies with a spear dealing 70% damage in return. This skill can also be used as a finisher.

Greatsword

The Greatsword’s primary skill is a three-hit melee attack with 70/70/80 damage dealt. Skill 1, Great Cleaver, launches the enemy into the air while also dealing a whopping 150% damage.

The second skill, Death from Above lets you leap into the air onto the enemy to deal 100% physical damage.

Pistols

The pistols perform a three-hit ranged attack with 65/50/50 physical damage. The first skill, Fan The Hammer lets you fire 10 bullets for 1.5 seconds. Each bullet deals 25% physical damage while also knocking the enemy back.

Skill 2 called the Explosive Bullet, as the name suggests lets you shoot an explosive bullet after performing a dodge roll. The bullet deals 25% physical damage which also explodes after 3 seconds dealing 125% physical damage and knocking enemies back.

B-Tier Weapons in V Rising

As we move down the tiers, the weapons start to become useful only in occasional scenarios. Despite having a good range, Maces are mostly suitable for tank/support characters to provide additional damage support.

Maces

Maces perform three back-to-back swipes inflicting 50/50/60 damage. Crushing Blow is the first skill that deals 110% damage by banging the weapon into the ground and also inflicts a “fading snare” for two seconds.

Smack is the second skill that deals 50% damage on hitting an enemy while disabling and pushing them back for 1.2 seconds.

Whip

Whipe’s primary skill lets you perform a three-hit melee attack dealing 50/50/50 physical damage to the first enemy hit by the skill. The first skill, Aerial Whip Twirl knocks enemies back, dealing 100% physical damage while also inflicting a 1.5-second fading snare

The second skill, Entangling Whip deals 100% physical damage while also inflicting a 2-second entangle.

C-Tier Weapons in V Rising

Although not the worst, C-tier weapons are not the best either. These are mostly suitable for PvP to inflict a decent amount of melee damage.

Axe

X-Strike ( Skill 2) makes a dual axe attack in an X form and inflicts 85% damage per hit while slowing enemies down for 1.5 seconds.

D-Tier Weapons in V Rising

Crossbows fall under the last tier of this list as their fire rate and reload speed are on the slower side. It can be suitable for PvE combat but not ideal for PvP. We’d suggest avoiding this weapon as much as possible unless you’re a dedicated ranged player.

Crossbows

With each hit of the Crossbow, damage of 115% gets inflicted. Rain of Bolts ( Skill 1) unleashes an arrow bombardment dealing 40% damage and has a cooldown time of eight seconds.

Snapshot ( Skill 2)  launches a quick bolt attack that can inflict 75% damage.
