Lineage Piece Melee Tier List [Solemn Lament Update]

Choosing the right melee can have a huge impact on your progression in Lineage Piece, as each combat style offers a unique moveset, damage output, and utility. While some melees excel at clearing groups of enemies with powerful AoE attacks, others are better suited for boss fights or PvP thanks to their high single-target damage and combos. To help you pick the best option, we’ve put together this Lineage Piece melee tier list, ranking every combat style from best to worst.

Lineage Piece Melee (Combat Style) Tier List

In the image above, you can find our overall Lineage Piece melee tier list, ranking every combat style currently available in the game. Newer melees tend to offer higher damage, better scaling, and more useful abilities, making them the best options to prioritize whenever possible. However, certain combat styles still shine in specific situations, such as farming large groups of mobs. You can find a full breakdown of each melee’s placement and our ranking summaries below.

S Tier – Best Melee Combat Styles in Lineage Piece

Melee	Pros & Cons
	+ One of the highest single-target DPS melees in the game + Huge AoE on all skills and very good for farming mobs + One of the overall best melees for the end-game, together with Yhwach – Insanely difficult to obtain compared to other combat styles
