Deepwoken Weapons Tier List

Deepwoken weapons are not a single damage ladder. Light, Medium, and Heavy investments change swing speed, posture, range, and which Oath kits feel natural. This page is a meta snapshot—verify numbers in-game and on community builders because patches retune base damage, penetration, and requirements. Pair it with the build planner, the Tier List Hub, and your Oath plan.

How to read weapon tiers

Judge weapons on:

• Base damage and scaling (LHT / MED / HVY plus elemental secondaries)
• Posture damage and guardbreak potential
• Penetration, chip, and weight
• Attribute requirements versus your Power 20 budget
• Critical identity and hyperarmor frames
• How easily you can obtain or alloy the drop

A Legendary with 90 Medium and awkward secondary stats can lose to an alloyed craftable that your Khan Aspect actually equips on time.

Light weapons

Light weapons favor speed, mixups, and gun or dagger pressure. They pair cleanly with mobility Oaths such as Jetstriker and with Felinor pathing.

Upper picks (snapshot): Alloyed Tanto and Alloyed Whaling Knife style daggers for fast confirmations; rapier lines for reachy pokes; Dawnshot and Alloyed Dawnshot gun fantasy for spaced pressure when the kit supports firearms. Fist and kick adjacent tools appear in niche mobility or mantra hybrid sheets.

When to go Light: You want tempo, feints, and short endlag more than raw posture. Silentheart and Jetstriker players often live here; mantra hybrids use Light to finish after elemental setups.

Watchouts: Light can bounce off heavy hyperarmor if you greed. Invest in penetration talents and learn whiff-punish timing.

Medium weapons

Medium is the flexible spine of many public builds. Swords, katanas, spears, and messers hit a balance of speed and damage that forgives learning Chime timings.

Upper picks (snapshot): Shattered Katana and Alloyed Katana lines for popular Medium scaling; Imperator’s Edge and Serpent’s Edge style rewards when obtainable; Alloyed Falchion / Messer / Longspear craftables for reliable progression; Kyrsblade and Weal and Woe style community favorites when your sheet can fund them.

When to go Medium: Bladeharper plans, Dawnwalker flex sheets, and most first serious builds. Medium requirements are easier to stage than Extreme Heavy while still threatening posture.

Watchouts: Do not overcap Medium while starving the Oath gate. Simulate the sheet before you train past the point of no return.

Heavy weapons

Heavy owns posture, hyperarmor criticals, and boss melt when swings connect. Greataxes, greatswords, greathammers, and halberds dominate many Depths clears.

Upper picks (snapshot): Enforcer’s Blade and Enforcer’s Axe for elite posture and spin critical identity; Petra’s Anchor greathammer pressure; Alloyed Halberd and Alloyed Forge Greathammer craftables; Gran Sudaruska and Kyrsieger for elemental Heavy fantasies; Pale Morning for flame or frost Heavy experimenters.

When to go Heavy: Starkindred, Arcwarder tank lines, and gank compositions that force respect frames. Pair with Vesperian toughness or Khan discounts so you can equip the 75–80 Heavy gates sooner.

Watchouts: Whiff punishment is brutal. Practice spaced swings and do not ignore agility thresholds if you still need to climb and sprint in open world.

Legendary and special notes

Legendaries and event rewards can leapfrog craftables on raw sheets, but acquisition time matters. Enforcer drops, Diluvian wave rewards, Scion of Ethiron trades, Crypt clears, and merchant-ship luck all gate different weapons. If a Legendary needs Level 10 plus dual attributes you cannot fund, keep a strong alloyed backup.

Attuned Legendaries (ice Heavy, lightning hammers, blood spears) want the matching attunement investment. Flamecharm, Frostdraw, Thundercall, and Galebreathe are base schools; Shadowcast, Ironsing, and Bloodrend unlock later—do not plan a Bloodrend Legendary opener on a fresh Castaway.

Build planning workflow

1. Pick role and Oath.
2. Choose Light, Medium, or Heavy as the primary investment.
3. List every attribute gate: weapon, Oath, armor, and mantra talents.
4. Apply Aspect help—Khan discounts, Adret free stats, Vesperian sustain.
5. Enter the plan in a community builder (deepwoken.co) following the build planner guide.
6. Farm a mid-game weapon that shares the same track so you are not fist-fighting bosses until the Legendary drops.

Sample track ideas

• Chime Medium flex: Medium 75–90, Dawnwalker or Bladeharper, Adret or Felinor, Shattered / Alloyed Katana path.
• Depths Heavy tank: Heavy 75–80, Arcwarder, Vesperian, Enforcer or Alloyed Halberd path.
• Attunementless weapon: Combined weapon stats for Silentheart, Strength + Agility/Charisma, Light or Medium tempo blade.
• Gun spacing: Light firearm line with Jetstriker or Dawnwalker support tools—only if you enjoy the ammo and range pattern.

Honesty clause

Weapon “S-tier” posts age quickly. A creator’s August list can disagree with a November Chime ladder. Use this page to understand categories and planning, then validate live numbers. Cross-link from the Players Hub when Aspect or Origin changes your attribute economy, and keep the Guides Hub handy for farming routes that drop your target blade.

Deepwoken entry remains 400 Robux, and there are no active public codes to shortcut Legendary luck. Investment discipline beats wishlist screenshots.
