Wuthering Waves is an open world free to play gacha based RPG from developers Kuro Games that offers a wide variety of weapons under five unique categories, the Broadblades, Rectifiers, Gauntlets, Pistols and the good old Swords.

Each weapon has a weapon skill that comes into play whenever you fulfil its given criteria. It also offers two base stats that increase as you level the weapon.

At the same time, some weapons in the game are tailored towards specific Resonators, with some even being their signature weapon, while many work as a universal choice that you can use for multiple characters.

With all these things, many players get overwhelmed with the multitude of weapons available in Wuthering Waves and find it hard to understand which ones are good and which are not worth spending resources on.

Seeing that, to help players out, we at EarlyGame, based on the CBT experience, have prepared this weapons tier list for Wuthering Waves that ranks the different weapons in the game.

Our Wuthering Waves weapons tier list is mainly based on the sub-stats the weapon provides, the skill and the different attribute buffs it applies to the wielder, the use case, its worth in the early to end game, and other such factors.

  • S- The S-tier weapons are must have as they offer the best stats and buffs.
  • A- The A-tier weapons are on par with S-tier weapons but fall short in terms of percentage gain when maxed out
  • B- The B-tier weapons can help you clear the game content and even end the game if paired with the right Echoes
  • C- Don't waste your resources. Please!
  • D- Why even try?

That being out of the way, let us check out our Wuthering Waves weapons tier list:

Keep in mind that Wuthering Waves is a gacha game, and the version 1.0 weapons will experience power creep as we receive new updates and move down the tier.

Moreover, the ranking criteria we used to rank these weapons will become more complex as new weapons are added. So, expect a major shift in the rankings with every update.
