Pixel Blade Tier List

Complete tier rankings for weapons, armor, and banner upgrades. Based on current meta, clearing efficiency, and boss performance.

⚔️Weapon Tier List

S+ Tier

Imperialist

The strongest all-around weapon. Chain lightning attacks 9 enemies + freeze control + self-speed boost. Top tier for farming, bossing, and speedruns.

S Tier

Solar Scythe

Highest DPS weapon. "Solar Beam" ability deals the highest burn damage in the game. Best choice for melting bosses.

Black Star

Burst king. World 3 weapon with extreme single-hit damage and area coverage. Dominates in speedruns.

S- Tier

Stella

Invincibility frames. Provides short i-frames and powerful stun. Irreplaceable in high-difficulty content despite lower DPS.

A Tier

Royalist

Epic tier dark horse. Despite being Epic rarity, provides invisibility + i-frames + speed boost. Excellent survivability.

Frost Blade

Control specialist. Excellent freeze/slow effects, great for kiting mobs, but lower burst than Solar Scythe.

Forged Steel

Tank weapon. Provides extra HP and stun. Great for beginners or players who need high forgiveness.

B Tier

Shadow Scythe

Poison damage is sustained but too slow in the current fast-paced meta. Awkward positioning.

C Tier

All Common/Rare Weapons

Transitional gear. Replace immediately once you obtain Epic or higher tier weapons.

🛡️Armor Tier List

S Tier

Feral Armor

Built-in Free Revive ability. In Nightmare mode, one revive is worth its weight in gold. Best for safety.

Crystal Armor

Deals AOE damage based on defense stats. Current version speedrun meta armor with extreme mob clearing efficiency.

A Tier

Helden Armor

Extra dash charges/reduced cooldown. Skilled players can use it to achieve infinite i-frames. Pro player choice.

B Tier

Onyx Armor

Traditional tank equipment. Reflects damage, but in late game when monster damage is too high, tanking is less useful than reviving or dodging.

Knight Set

Excellent early-game transition gear. Replace once you reach end-game.

🎯Banner Upgrade Tier List

S+ Tier

Rage Spirits

MUST PICK. Infinitely stacks damage and movement speed based on spirit orbs held. Core engine for "God Run".

Spirit Capacity

MUST PICK. Must be paired with Rage Spirits. Higher spirit cap = higher damage multiplier.

A Tier

Flame Element

Highest damage elemental DOT. Excellent for boss melting.

Life Steal

Sustain core. Heal whenever you collect spirit orbs. Greatly increases forgiveness and saves potion costs.

Stamina

Increases max stamina and regen speed. Crucial for dashing/dodging boss mechanics in World 2 & 3.

B Tier

Frost Element

Applies slow effect. Useful for crowd control but lower damage than Flame.

Poison Element

Decent damage over time, but lower total output than Flame. Good secondary element.

Critical Boost

Only strong if stacked multiple times. Weak as a single pick.

C Tier

Elemental Circle

Damage tick is delayed and often misses moving targets. Inconsistent.

Agility

Chance to dodge attacks is too unreliable. Better to manually dodge with stamina.

Thorns

Requires taking damage to work, which is bad for survival.

Health Boost

Focus on not getting hit (Stamina/Speed) rather than tanking hits.
