The world of Naraka Bladepoint looks beautiful and being able to traverse it at your leisure is one of the biggest core strengths of the game. In the game, Matari and Yoto Hime are top-tier characters in the S-tier, known for their power and versatility. Here’s a breakdown of character tiers:
Key Takeaways
- S-tier: Matari and Yoto Hime are considered the best characters in the game, offering exceptional power and versatility.
- A-tier: These characters are potent and can compete with S-tier characters with skill. Viper Ning, in particular, stands out with high DPS, crowd control (CC), and team fight abilities.
- B-tier: Characters like Justina Gu and Valda Cui are in this tier. Justina Gu emits an ice aura and can enter Arctic Wraith mode, making her a strong damage dealer. Valda Cui, known as the “Queen of the Sea,” can control water and use her ultimate to counter enemy ultimates and set up plays for her team.
- C-tier: Characters like Kurumi and Wuchen are in this tier. Kurumi is primarily a healer used for support, while Wuchen is a supplied character who provides buffs and debuffs to their team and enemies.
Updated March 15th, by Waleed Nouman:
With season 11 of Naraka Bladepoint released in January 2024, there have been multiple changes made to the weapons since the initial publishing date of this article. This significantly affects their ranking in my tier list, so I am mentioning it. Mostly the weapons have been buffed, but some of them received bad nerfing and they have been pushed to the bottom of my tier list. Weapons like Long sword and Dagger were moved to the top. On the other hand, Pistol and Cannon were initially good weapons but now no one is using it due to better alternatives.
Weapons Comparison
Here is a comparison table for the Best Weapons in Naraka Bladepoint Alongside their Tier List:
Related: Naraka Bladepoint Character Tier List
The tiers in this list range from S-Tier to C-Tier. I will describe the weapon and why it was made in which tier. So without further ado the Naraka Bladepoint Tier List for Weapons in the game.
S Tier
Longsword
Best Melee Weapon
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 40 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 50 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 60 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 80 |
Longsword Stats Table.
Why did I Choose a Longsword?
This is my go-to all-rounder melee weapon, as normal attacks account for close range and charged attacks are for ranged attacks.
The Longsword is the perfect blend of range, speed, and power. The sword’s charged attack can be used as an excellent gap closer in a fight while also knocking down the opponent. This can help set you up for combos that are quite decent with the Longsword.
Overall it can be considered the most cookie-cutter basic weapon but what lands it this S Tier spot is the annoyingly spammable dodge attack with close to no way to counter this attack.
- Can adapt to various playstyles
- Excellent reach
- Focus attacks
- Attacks are easily parryable
- Slightly worse reach than other melee weapons
Dagger
Best Weapon For Stealth
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 40 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 50 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 60 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 80 |
Dagger Stats Table.
Why did I Choose Dagger?
Dagger is fast and light, allowing me to make swift movements. It can also be used for stealthy gameplay.
The Dagger, a personal favorite of ours from many different games always finds itself in the higher tiers of these weapon lists. It appears Naraka Bladepoint is no different from the Dagger being overpowered due to its dash alongside the skill expression it allows its wielders.
Although it has been nerfed in recent times the Dagger still stands out among the crowd and shines.
- Speed
- Mobility
- Versatility
- Range limitation
- Overall damage output is low
Spear
Best Weapon For Ninja
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 40 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 50 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 60 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 80 |
Spear Stats Table.
Why did I Choose Spear?
Although it has a steep learning curve, the Spear has an exceptional range for a melee weapon and it supports the Dragonslayer combo, making it a potential weapon for your loadout.
Looking at our previous entries the spear can be considered a downgrade but not by a significant enough margin to drop it down into the A Tier. The Spear is fast and deadly like a snake in the grass, unpredictable and deadly.
Its recent buffs have brought it close to competing with the Dagger and Longsword and in terms of combos if you can master the Dragonslayer + Nezha combo then you will be a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
- High attack speed
- Great combo chain
- Extensive range
- Unpredictable attacks
- Dragonslayer combo
- May take some time to get used to the combat style
- Learning curve
Musket
Best Ranged Weapon
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 10 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 10 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 10 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 10 |
Musket Stats Table.
Why did I Choose Musket?
Musket is a long weapon that can be used for ranged attacks due to its charged shots and big magazine.
The Musket is an interesting choice to even be seen in a game such as Naraka Bladepoint which focuses more on a melee style of combat and encourages it above all others alongside the indane mobility given to the player.
Regardless, the Musket is very viable if you can land a few good shots onto anyone. This deals less damage than other weapons like the Bow but makes up for it with increased range. If you are patient enough to land a few extra shots then this may be the weapon for you.
- High damage and long-range
- Charged shots
- Larger ammo capacity
- Reload time
- Limited close range
- Dependence on ammo
Bow
Best Weapon For Accuracy
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 8 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 8 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 8 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 8 |
Bow Stats Table.
Why did I Choose Bow?
The bow is specifically for ranged shots as it supports high accuracy and precise shooting.
The Bow is a S Tier weapon for the same reason as the Musket. A ranged weapon in a game such as Naraka Bladepoint is a very big advantage. If you know how to use the Bow effectively then no one can be your equal in combat.
The best way to use the Bow is to try to land charged shots when you can or fight someone melee and if they try to run away with low health you snipe them with a charged shot.
- Long range
- High damage
- Charged shots
- Accuracy
- Limited ammo
- Slower rate of fire
- Requires repair
A Tier
Katana
Best Beginner Weapon
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 40 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 50 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 60 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 80 |
Katana Stats Table.
Why did I Choose Katana?
Although not better than Longsword, Katana is fast, flexible, and most suitable for close-range combat.
At first glance there seems to be nothing different about the Katana and Longsword so why is the Katana ranked lower? Simple maths.
The Katana has a faster speed of attack but it lacks the power of the Longsword while also not having as potent stagger abilities and a smaller range. That is why it was not included in the S Tier but it is still a viable enough weapon that it is ranked in the A Tier.
- Flexible in various combat situations
- Poor single-target damage
- Limited souljades
Nunchuck
Best Weapon For One Shot
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 40 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 50 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 60 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 80 |
Nunchuck Stats Table.
Why did I Choose Nunchuck?
Nunchucks are very fast and the opponents do not have much time to dodge the attack, that is why I prefer using them.
Now, these are a true test of skill turned into a weapon. The Nunchucks are similar to the dagger in terms of speed and deadly combos it can unleash.
The main issue with wielding the Nunchucks is the amount of skill required to actually utilize them fully in any battle scenario. They require near-perfect countering abilities to unleash their full potential as a weapon and that’s not something every player can do very easily.
- High damage output
- Fast attack speed
- Unique meter function
- Barrier to entry
- Learning curve
Repeating Crossbow
Best Weapon For Kills
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 60 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 60 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 60 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 60 |
Repeating Crossbow Stats Table.
Why did I Choose the Repeating Crossbow?
The automatic and consistent firing is its biggest benefit, as the burst of arrows in combat creates a difficult situation for the enemy.
The Crossbow is a good weapon, but only under certain conditions that are both relative to the player and the situation they are presented.
A burst of arrows is the specialty of the repeating crossbow but that isn’t always the best course of action to pursue in a fight. Unless you are very good at tracking moving enemies with high mobility or you aren’t in close range to them then you are better off using the S Tier ranged weapons of melee weapons.
- Consistent rate of fire
- Automatic firing
- Effective in close combat
- Lack of burst damage
- Poor accuracy and short-range
- Vulnerability to melee attacks
B Tier
Greatsword
Best Weapon For Aggression
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 40 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 50 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 60 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 80 |
Why did I Choose Greatsword?
Greatsword supports aggressive melee gameplay, as it is known for its high damage output and immunity to knockbacks.
The everpresent Greatsword. It’s a staple in almost every game with melee weapons and rightfully so in my opinion. In Naraka Bladepoint the Greatsword is a unique weapon that allows you to play more aggressively as you are immune to knockbacks from weapon clashes and have a devastating combo if the enemy gets caught out.
The big weakness, as usual with Greatswords, is the slow attack speed which cripples you in most fights if you are against an agile speed-based fighter. The same applies to veteran players who can easily read your movements and dodge your slow attacks.
- High damage
- Negates knockbacks
- Slow attack speed
- Limited combo range
- Requires effort
Pistol
Best DPS Weapon
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 20 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 20 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 20 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 20 |
Pistol Stats Table.
Why did I Choose Pistol?
The pistol is a flexible weapon that can help clear enemies in close ranges while having a fast reload speed and significant weapon accuracy.
The Pistol is a useful weapon in certain situations where the enemy is in close range but otherwise, you are better off using your melee weapon.
The reload time on the Pistol is far too long to be viable in real battle situations and the accuracy is nothing to write home about while moving and fighting.
- Overwhelming power
- Versatility
- Lack of counter options
- Timing and distance
- No melee counterpart
Swarm
Best Weapon For Quick Play
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 80 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 80 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 80 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 80 |
Swarm Stats Table.
Why did I Choose Swarm?
The swarm weapon is capable of killing a crowd of enemies in a single instance if used at the correct time.
The Swarm is exactly like the pistol except different. You can think of this weapon as a Missle Launcher but the recharge timer is something that we adamantly hate. Also if the enemies see you coming or know even the general area of your location then they can avoid the attack like it doesn’t even bother them.
Don’t get me wrong, when the Swarm is used at the right time you can kill hordes of players but that time comes so few and far in between that it isn’t worth it. That is why I would rank this weapon in the B Tier just because it does present the rare opportunity to get multiple kills in one fell swoop.
- High damage output
- Versatility
- Effective in both close and long-range
- Long charge time
- Requires stealth
- Limited mobility
C Tier
Bloodripper
Best Aesthetic Weapon
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 40 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 40 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 40 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 40 |
Why did I Choose Bloodripper?
It has an aesthetic weapon design and potential for dealing high damage to opponents.
Where do we even begin with this mess of a weapon? The design is quite enticing and it looks like something out of a torture chamber but boy does it fall short of expectations.
The first thing to note is the incredibly slow speed at which the Bloodripper charges up its attack. The most linear and predictable form of attack that you can’t even reliably use as a gap closer.
Secondly, there are no combos that can be performed with this weapon which makes it drop down even further.
The only way to use this weapon viably is to hope your enemy is either AFK or you have to use rat strategies to get the charge attack on them which will most definitely bring them to the brink of death.
- High damage potential
- Slow attack speed
- Long charge time for focus attacks
- Lack of combo attacks
- Not recommended for beginners
Flamebringer
Best AOE Weapon
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 150 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 150 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 150 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 150 |
Flamebringer Stats Table.
Why did I Choose Flamebringer?
The Flamebringer weapon has a wide AOE through its attacks and it is capable of supporting both melee and ranged attacks.
An interesting weapon to say the least. It is a hybrid melee and ranged weapon with each end acting as its respective form of attack. This is a lousy weapon, to say the least.
The Flame Bringer tries to be the best of both worlds but ends up being nothing more than a combination of the weaknesses of each type of weapon.
- Broad AOE
- No charge times
- Limited damage and range
- Not advised for solo play
Cannon
Best Weapon For Group Play
| Quality | Attack Power | Attack Power (Broken) | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| White (Common) | 100 | 75 | 10 |
| Blue (Rare) | 120 | 90 | 10 |
| Purple (Epic) | 140 | 105 | 10 |
| Orange (Legendary) | 160 | 120 | 10 |
Cannon Stats Table.
Why did I Choose Cannon?
Although canon is not a solo play weapon, you can use it in group matches and to deal with AOE damage effectively.
Oh, Cannon, you had so much potential but it turns out you were just a terrible weapon in both design and execution.
The Cannon is probably the most non-versatile weapon you could even think about using in all of Naraka Bladepoint. There is no point in the game where you would prefer the Cannon over any other weapon simply due to its short range, long charge time, and less-than-average damage.
Definitely, a missed opportunity to make a cool weapon but in its current state, I struggled to even put it on this Weapon Tier List.
- Effective in dealing AOE damage
- Useful in group matches
- Slow fire rate
- Limited effectiveness in solo play
My Verdict On The Weapon Tier List
My personal favorites are Musket and Longsword. Musket is an ideal weapon for long-range combat and Longsword is a god when it comes to melee fights.
Additionally, some weapons, such as the Cannon and Katana, receive continuous criticism as they are not up to the mark even after the recent updates.
I hope my tier list was according to your expectations and I am hoping it helped you choose the weapons according to your liking and playstyle.
Good job! Please give your positive feedback 😏
