Elden Ring<\/em> has proven to be FromSoftware’s most successful title to date, with the game firmly elevated to legendary status among mainstream gamers. The title is so successful that it is currently one of the top contenders for game of the year in 2022. What makes this game so compelling is the seamless blend of open-world exploration with the tried-and-tested Dark Souls<\/em> combat and ambiance that made the Soulsborne games beloved in the first place.<\/p>
One of the factors that made combat fun in FromSoftware’s games was the flexibility most of their games (except for Sekiro<\/em>) offered when it came to creating custom builds. Players had the freedom to mix and match different equipment and allocate appropriate stat points to make their own build work. Most of the combat variety in the game originated from the plethora of weapons that were made available, ranging from heavy weapons and light weapons to ranged weapons and magic weapons.<\/p>
Elden Ring<\/em> takes it a step further and adds even more variety to the mix while making other types of weapons more viable than they were in previous games (e.g: bows). With the release of the major Patch 1.07, and its subsequent minor fix Patch 1.07.1, a lot has changed in terms of balance when it comes to weapon damage and weapon arts. <\/p>
As such, this tier list aims to show you what the best weapons are in this patch and how effective they are in terms of their tiers. While none of these weapons are objectively bad, some of them just fit into multiple builds better and are easier to use than the rest. So let’s start off with the D-tier weapons.<\/p>
