Hytale weapons tier list

Hytale‘s early access build already offers different weapons, and some of them are superior to the rest.

Weapons in Hytale can be separated into two ways. You can classify them based on their materials. Of course, items that use rarer resources like Adamantite are stronger, so if you want to compare how effective a weapon is, you have to do so across categories.

Complete Hytale weapons tier list

To classify the weapons, I have used three different tiers.

• S-tier weapons are the best choices in most situations. These weapons have good damage potential, are easy to use, and can be utilised in any situation.
• A-tier weapons are pretty close to S-tier choices. However, they’re situational or have inferior damage potential.
• B-tier weapons are okay choices that suffer from slow speed and/or poor damage options.

S-tier weapon

• Sword: This was the first weapon I crafted in Hytale, and it’s arguably the most well-rounded option. It has decent damage, good attack speed, and feels fun to use. Unless you’re against a flying enemy, the sword does its job. Upgrading it with rarer metals raises all its stat points, making it better. While it lacks AoE in the true sense, the Charged Attack ability can hit multiple targets at once.
• Dagger: While the dagger is a tricky weapon to master, it’s the best damage dealer by some distance. It has incredible speed, offers the highest mobility, and the charged attacks can one-hit many enemies. The potential only rises as you start using rarer materials.
• Bow: The no-nonsense bow and arrow will be your first ranged weapon in Hytale, and it will remain your best friend for a long time (given you love attacking from a distance). It’s excellent against boss enemies since you can simply kite them from a distance.

A-tier

• Hand Crossbow: While the hand crossbow isn’t a bad shot, it’s slower, and the reload speed is quite slow. The damage is also on the lower side of things, and running out of ammo can be dangerous (especially when you’re against bosses). However, it’s a one-handed weapon, allowing you to equip a shield on the side.
• Mace: The gigantic mace is the best option when it comes to clearing hordes. No other weapon has as much AoE damage potential as this gigantic hammer. However, the damage potential wears off due to its slow speed. With the mace, you’ll want to build up your charged attacks and wait for the opportunity to arise.

B-tier

• Axe: The axe, in theory, should work well. However, reality is often disappointing; it lacks speed and precision. The axe is also a two-handed weapon, so you can’t equip a shield alongside it. If you want to follow a melee playstyle, both the sword and the mace are better options.
