Lineage Piece Weapon Tier List [Solemn Lament Update]

Choosing the right weapon is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in Lineage Piece, as some swords excel at clearing groups of enemies while others are better suited for bosses. To help you pick the best option for your stage of progression, we’ve put together this Lineage Piece weapon tier list, ranking every sword/weapon from S Tier to D Tier based on their overall damage, versatility, and performance across all types of content.

Lineage Piece Weapons (Swords) Tier List

In the image above, you can find our overall Lineage Piece weapon tier list, ranking every sword currently available in the game. As a general rule, newer weapons tend to feature stronger damage, better stat scaling, and more powerful abilities, making them the best options to prioritize.

However, some swords excel at specific activities, such as farming groups of enemies with their AoE skills or dealing high single-target damage against bosses. You can find a detailed breakdown of each weapon’s placement and our ranking summaries in the sections below.

S Tier Weapons – Best Swords in Lineage Piece

Sword	Pros & Cons
	+ Has the highest single-target DPS in Lineage Piece + By far the best sword/weapon in the game right now + Massive AoE and long stagger on every skill
	+ Comparable single-target DPS to Excalibur Morgan + Has insane range, AoE, and damage on all of its skills + One of the best swords in the game, together with Excalibur Morgan

A Tier Weapons

Sword	Pros & Cons
	+ Has the 3rd-highest DPS out of all swords in the game + Decent AoE and range on all of its skills + Relatively easy to obtain for a Mythic-rarity sword – Can’t compare to Solemn Lament and Excalibur Morgan
	+ Fast skill animations make it excellent for one-shotting bosses + Massive AoE and high damage on multiple skills – One of the hardest-to-obtain swords in Lineage Piece (0.5% chance on banner) – Has smaller AoE on regular skills than some Mythic swords with less DPS
	+ Extremely good range, AoE, and damage on all skills + Very good for farming mobs and other packs of enemies – Falls behind Miyabi, Kokushibo, and other good Mythics regarding DPS – One of the hardest-to-obtain swords in Lineage Piece.
	+ Very big AoE and long staggers on all skills + Excellent sword for farming mobs and swarms of enemies – Has way less single-target DPS than most other Mythic Swords – Isn’t useful for the very late game due to its lower DPS

B Tier Weapons

Sword	Pros & Cons
	+ Slightly better single-target DPS than all low-rarity swords + Extremely big AoE on all skills makes it amazing for farming mobs – Has the lowest single-target DPS out of all Mythic swords – Very difficult to obtain considering its strength
	+ Extremely easy to obtain compared to other Legendary swords + Very high DPS for a Legendary, rivaling some Mythic swords + By far the best sword to use throughout the early game – Higher rarity weapons will outscale its damage
	+ Very good single-target and AoE damage + Decent early-game weapon in general – Much more difficult to obtain compared to Tensa Zangetsu – Has less AoE and worse total DPS compared to Tensa Zangetsu
	+ Big AoE on most skills with solid DPS potential + Slightly easier to obtain than the Player’s Dagger – Much more difficult to obtain than Tensa Zangetsu – Has less AoE and worse total DPS compared to Tensa Zangetsu

C Tier Weapons

Sword	Pros & Cons
	+ Has three attacks with long range and good single-target DPS + The 2nd best low-rarity weapon you can save your cash for – Tensa Zangetsu is a much better sword
	+ Excellent cone-shaped AoE and single-target damage + Better than Gryphon for fighting single enemies – Gryphon’s AoE is better for clearing mobs
	+ Has massive AoE on its 2nd skill, which is useful for grinding + One of the best early-game weapons you can use – The cooldown on its most useful skill is very long

D Tier Weapons

Sword	Pros & Cons
	+ Has two skills, which is better compared to the regular Katana – Still has very low damage, much less than the Rare+ weapons – Fruits are a much better option for the early game grinding
	– By far the weakest weapon in Lineage Piece – Has only one ability that has very small AoE
