Wuthering Waves Weapon Tier List 2026

Wuthering Waves weapon tier list 2026: every 5-star and 4-star weapon ranked from S to D. This guide covers signature weapons, standard pool weapons, and F2P alternatives for DPS, Sub-DPS, and Support characters.

Tier Definitions

S-Tier: Best-in-class, core to the meta. A-Tier: Excellent with clear strengths. B-Tier: Good but situational. C-Tier: Outperformed by alternatives. D-Tier: Power-crept.

S-Tier Signature Weapons

Signature weapons — those tied to specific characters — almost always outperform alternatives by 15-25% in hands of their intended wielder.

S-Tier Standard Pool Weapons

Some standard pool weapons are genuinely S-tier when paired with the right character. These are safe pulls if you need a weapon for an existing DPS.

S-Tier F2P Weapons

F2P weapons are often overlooked but can be remarkably strong. Many limited-event F2P weapons outperform 4-star gacha weapons and are worth grabbing whenever they appear.

Weapon vs Character Priority

General rule: prioritize characters over weapons when both are new. A new character always adds more team capability than a weapon for a character you already own. Use our Pull Calculator to model your pity.
