Sharpen those blades and reload those guns. Here is the full list of weapon tiers for Howling Waves.

Ranking the best weapons in Wuthering Waves

At the game's release, there were around 60 weapons in the game, ranging from 1★ to 5★. A 1★ weapon sits at the very bottom of the stack, while 5★ weapons are some of the best in the game. Now let's move on to each weapon's tier list and where they land in the Howling Waves tier list.

Sword Tier List in Wuthering Waves

Emerald Genesis is the best sword in the world Howling Waves due to its massive base attack of 47 and its ability to boost and stack attacks. The second best option, Scale: Slasher, only offers 27 attacks and its ability restores Resonance Energy by 8. Emerald Genesis hits much harder than any other weapon in the sword category. Equip it on Yangang, Sanhua, Danjin or Rover for the best results.

Broadblade Tier List in Wuthering Waves

Verdant Summit and Lustrous Razor are both 5★ weapons, so it's no surprise that they get the S+ tier. Both weapons offer the same base attack, 47, but where they differ is their passive boosts and abilities. Lustrous Razor increases attack by 8.10% while Verdant Summit increases critical damage by 10.80%.

Lustrous Razor increases energy regeneration and when you use your Resonance skill, it increases Resonance Release damage by 7% – an effect that stacks twice and lasts for 12 seconds. Comparatively, Verdant Summit increases the damage bonus by all Resonance attributes of 12%. And every time an introductory skill or resonance release is cast, it increases the damage bonus of heavy attacks by 24%, stacking twice.

Ultimately, the weapon you choose will depend on your playstyle. Although the Lustrous Razor ability is more powerful, Verdant Summit's increase in passive attack damage is significant. Equip the Lustrous Razor on Calcharo, Taoqi, or Jiyan for best results. If you take Verdant Summit, give it to Calcharo or Jiyan.

Gun Tier List for Wuthering Waves

When it comes to guns, there is one that beats the trigger and barrel of the rest: Static Mist. This 5★ weapon offers the standard base attack of 47, with a critical rate increase of 5.4%. But what's interesting is its capacity. Static Mist increases Energy Regeneration by 12.8%, but when his Outro skill is released, it increases Resonator Attack by 10% for 14 seconds. This makes Static Mist an incredibly effective support weapon, so use it strategically to destroy bosses and other difficult opponents.
