Weapon choice defines your combat identity in Battle Minigames by stardragonf. Each weapon trades damage, swing speed, and reach differently, and the R15 animation system means those stats feel distinct during actual PvP exchanges. This tier list ranks every shop weapon from S tier down to D tier based on competitive viability, value for coins spent, and performance across minigame modes.

Rankings reflect the current meta verified through community testing and shop data. Balance patches can shift tiers — revisit this page after major updates. Prices listed match the in-game shop and help you evaluate whether a tier upgrade justifies the coin investment from your current weapon.

Tier placement considers mode versatility. A weapon that dominates elimination but fails in coin-collection modes ranks lower than an all-round option like Crusader Sword that performs consistently everywhere.

S Tier — Best Weapons

S-tier weapons represent the strongest competitive options available. Players who master these weapons win trades against lower-tier loadouts even with equal mechanical skill.

  • Crusader Sword (850 coins) — High damage, medium speed. Excellent all-round damage with reliable swing timing. Best first S-tier purchase for most players.
  • Double Battle Axe (1200 coins) — Very high damage, slow speed. Devastating R-key heavy hits for aggressive players who commit to trades. Punishes rolling opponents who panic after your first hit connects.
  • Scythe (950 coins) — High damage, medium speed. Wide arc covers multiple opponents in crowded team rounds and free-for-all brawls. Slightly weaker in one-versus-one duels due to recovery time.

A Tier — Strong and Reliable

A-tier weapons compete effectively against S-tier options in skilled hands. Many players stay at A tier permanently because the coin savings fund better gear combinations.

  • Cutlass (600 coins) — Medium-high damage, fast speed. Best starter upgrade from default weapons. Fast swings reward parry windows and aggressive pressure.
  • Hammer (750 coins) — High damage, slow speed. Heavy attack combos well with R key. Punishes rolling opponents during recovery frames.
  • Great Sword (900 coins) — Very high damage, slow speed. Long reach dominates narrow arena maps. Requires patient play and roll baiting to maximize value.
  • Tachi (700 coins) — Medium-high damage, fast speed. Balanced option for players transitioning from budget weapons toward S-tier savings.

B Tier — Situational Picks

B-tier weapons excel in specific scenarios but fall short as universal loadout choices. Viable as stepping stones or niche picks for specialized playstyles.

  • Boxing Gloves (400 coins) — Medium damage, very fast speed. Fastest weapon class. Excels in close-range elimination but struggles against Iron Chestplate users in extended trades.
  • Gladius Daggers (450 coins) — Medium damage, very fast speed. Quick flurry attacks with high DPS but low per-hit damage. Requires relentless pressure to overcome defensive opponents.
  • Uchigatana (500 coins) — Medium damage, fast speed. Solid mid-tier pick before saving for S-tier weapons. Outclassed by Cutlass and Tachi at similar price points.

C Tier — Budget Stepping Stones

C-tier weapons serve as temporary upgrades after redeeming codes but should be replaced quickly. Every coin spent here delays your path to A or S tier.

  • Falchion Sword (250 coins) — Low-medium damage, medium speed. Budget option after codes. Upgrade to Cutlass as soon as possible.
  • Dagger (150 coins) — Low damage, fast speed. Default-tier weapon. Replace immediately when you have 400 or more coins.
  • Rapier (200 coins) — Low-medium damage, fast speed. Thrust-focused with narrow hitbox requiring precision. Cutlass outperforms it at triple the cost but worth the investment.

D Tier — Replace Immediately

D-tier weapons are starting equipment or trap purchases that provide minimal combat value. Use codes to skip this tier entirely.

  • Hook (100 coins) — Low damage, medium speed. Starter weapon. Redeem codes and buy Boxing Gloves or Cutlass instead of upgrading within D tier.

Tier List Summary and Upgrade Path

Recommended progression: redeem codes → Cutlass or Boxing Gloves → Speed Boots gear → Crusader Sword → Scythe or Double Battle Axe depending on playstyle. This path minimizes time spent on underpowered weapons while building toward S-tier dominance.

Match weapon to playstyle. Aggressive players favor Boxing Gloves into Double Battle Axe. Balanced players favor Cutlass into Crusader Sword. Patient spacing players favor Great Sword or Hammer with heavy R-key focus.
