Daybreak HymnVersion 1.0 Weapon Tier List Changes
| Weapon | Tier Updates |
|---|---|
 Siren's Kiss
|
(Demoted) • Still an excellent weapon for Skill Range, but moved down a tier to put more emphasis on the Wanewraith as the game's best melee weapon. |
 Remanent Reminiscence
|
(Demoted) • Still an excellent weapon for restoring Sanity, but moved down a tier to put more emphasis on the Wanewraith as the game's best melee weapon. |
 Blade Amberglow
|
(Demoted) • Demoted since ATK buffs can be obtained in many ways. • Can be viable in niche Geniemon-centric builds, but much better options are available. |
 Aureate Yore
|
(Demoted) • Aureate Yore's slide ATK build does not deal too much damage in comparison to fully-built higher-tiered weapons. |
 Vernal Jade Halberd
|
(Demoted) • Demoted since ATK speed builds typically do worse than skill-oriented builds. • Can still be viable in niche builds but it will be outclassed by the higher-tiered weapons. |
 Wandering Rose
|
(Demoted) • Demoted since ATK speed builds typically do worse than skill-oriented builds. • Can be viable in niche Geniemon-centric builds, but much better options are available. |
 Viridis Reefs
|
(Demoted) • Demoted since ATK speed and Trigger Probability builds typically do worse than skill-oriented builds. • Can still be viable in niche builds but it will be outclassed by the better weapons. |
 Ironforger
|
(Demoted) • Demoted due to the passive Combo Level buff not triggering often enough to be an effective weapon. • Crit builds also do not scale very well into the late game. |
 Arclight Apocalypses
|
(Promoted) • Promoted due to the weapon's supportive buffs being better than initially thought. The Arclight Apocalypses is one of the best ranged weapons for supports in the game. |
 Entropic Singularity
|
(Demoted) • Demoted due to it not actually being the best weapon for its signature wielder, Lady Nifle. |
 Guixu Ratchet
|
(Promoted) • Promoted for its usefulness in stacking up Combo Levels. |
 Blast Artistry
|
(Demoted) • Demoted due to the current Umbro roster having better options for ranged weapons. |
Weapon Tier List Criteria and Notes
Ranking System
 SS Tier |
Exceptional weapons that stand out as the most effective in the game. These weapons boast the highest values of damage and utility, with unique abilities that make them extremely useful be it against numerous mobs, elite enemies, or bosses. |
|---|---|
 S Tier |
These weapons will help you clear most content with ease. These are all among the best weapons in their respective type, but are not quite as overpowered as the weapons in SS-Tier. |
 A Tier |
Weapons that only become strong with powerful Demon Wedges and upgrades to achieve similar performance as the other weapons in the upper tiers. While these may have features that are not very useful or stats that aren't too impressive, these weapons can still be classified among the best characters, but only when you have built them optimally. |
 B Tier |
Weapons with solid performance in the right situations. Weapons here might be situational picks that are not always optimal to play, but can perform quite well in the right circumstances. |
 C Tier |
These weapons have limited viability and are best used only if you lack better options. Unless these serve a specific niche in your team, it's recommended to replace them with higher-tier weapons as soon as possible. What holds these back is usually a lack of damage or other stats. These weapons may also have sub-optimal buffs that are lackluster or too situational for general use. |
