Combat Warriors Weapons Tier List

This Combat Warriors tier list ranks weapons for public free-for-all, team modes, and duel-style fights in late 2026. Rankings weigh reach, swing speed, DPS, ease of landing hits, and how well a weapon punishes missed parries. Patch notes can shuffle the meta — cross-check the updates hub after balance changes.

New players should redeem codes first, then buy toward A/S weapons instead of cosmetics. Pair this list with the getting started route and parry guide so gear upgrades actually stick.

S-tier — buy these when you can

Weapon	Role	Why it sits in S
Bardiche	Heavy polearm	Excellent reach and space control
Colossal Greatsword	Heavy	Huge burst when swings connect
Dragon Slayer	Heavy	Iconic power pick with strong presence
Dual Cleavers	Dual melee	Constant pressure and strong trades
Glaive	Heavy polearm	Reach + damage for mid-range duels
Odachi	Heavy sword	Long reach with fluid combos
Zweihander	Heavy	Sweep control and big punish windows
RPG-7	Spec / ranged	Fight-changing splash when aimed well
Dual Naginata / Yoru	Heavy	High-end reach options in current lists

S-tier weapons win most fair trades without a perfect skill tree, but they are expensive. Farm Credits, use weekend 2x XP, and avoid wasting keys on skins for weapons you will replace.

Dragon Slayer showcase in Combat Warriors

A-tier — reliable mains

Katana, Scythe, Naginata, Trident, War Hammer, Brute Mace, Cutlass, Dual Hammers, Dual Tomahawks, Longsword, Halberd, Kanabo, Bo Staff, Heavy Bow, Heavy Scythe, Shikomizue, Liuyedao, Mace.

Dual Tomahawks and Katana can post elite DPS with the Sword Skills tree, which is why some charts keep them in A even when raw numbers look S. Bo Staff remains a fantastic free/cheap trainer weapon — many veterans clear early content with it before unlocking Bardiche or Dragon Slayer.

B-tier — situational

Crossbow, Crowbar, Curved Greatsword, Dual Machetes, Flamberge, Iron Sword, Kusarigama, Lance, Longbow, Metal Bat, Palm Axe, Polehammer, Riot Shield, Shovel, Steel Sword.

These work in the right hands or maps. Crossbow and Longbow reward spacing; Riot Shield enables defensive play; Crowbar and Metal Bat are fine mid-progress lights. Replace them once you can afford A/S options.

C and D — replace early

C: Bat, Baton (starter), Battle Axe, Chainsaw (fun but polarizing), Dual Daggers, Dual Hatchets, Dual Hook Swords, Fire Axe, Greataxe, Macuahuitl, Nunchucks, Sabre, Scimitar, Sickle, Spear, War Axe.

D / early scrap: Club, Golf Club, basic Greatsword variants, Hammer, Khopesh, Rapier, Tommy Gun for most lobbies.

Chainsaw deserves a note: it can still melt if you cancel swings and force panic parries, but skilled players bait it hard. Treat it as a style pick, not a default climb weapon. Read mythical weapons for Energy Crate exclusives like Hell’s Excalibur and Sea Beast that sit outside normal Credit shops.

Best pick by goal

Goal	Pick	Notes
Best overall grind	Bardiche	Reach plus consistent trades
Best heavy flex	Colossal Greatsword / Dragon Slayer	Commit to swing timing
Best learner	Bo Staff → Katana / Longsword	Forgives mistakes while you learn F parries
Best ranged chaos	RPG-7 / Heavy Bow	Softens groups before melee cleanup
Best dual pressure	Dual Cleavers / Dual Tomahawks	Keep stamina for dashes

How to use this tier list

1. Redeem active codes for Credits and Aether.
2. Unlock a stable A-tier main before chasing mythics.
3. Practice that weapon’s swing rhythm in a private server using PS commands.
4. Learn to parry the weapons that beat you most often.
5. Revisit this page after every major update.

Skill still beats the sheet. An Odachi in unsure hands loses to a disciplined Bo Staff player who never whiffs parries. Use the list to spend smart, then put hours into movement and prediction from the controls guide.
