Sailor Piece Sword & Melee Tier List: Best Weapons for Farming, Bosses, and AFK

If you're trying to figure out which sword or melee is actually worth using in Sailor Piece, the short answer is this: raw damage alone is not enough. From our testing, the weapons that feel best in real gameplay are the ones with good AoE, short cooldowns, and reliable farming Items value.

 

Sailor Piece Sword & Melee Tier List: Best Weapons for Farming, Bosses, and AFK

 

That's why some flashy weapons end up lower than expected, while others become must-have picks for AFK farming, boss runs, or Infinite Tower. Below is a cleaner, more practical tier list built around what matters most in-game: damage, consistency, ease of use, and progression value.



How We Ranked Them

We're not ranking these only by burst damage. We're looking at how they perform in actual gameplay loops.

FactorWhy It Matters
Damage Helps with bosses and fast clears
AoE Important for farming groups of NPCs
Cooldowns Better uptime means better overall DPS
Accessibility Some weapons are strong, but too annoying to get early
Practical Use AFK, bosses, Infinite Tower, and grinding all matter

 

From experience, this is the biggest mistake players make: they chase a weapon that looks strong on paper, but feels awkward in real farming.

 

 

Sailor Piece Tier List

Here's the simplified ranking first.

TierWeapons / Melees
Sailor Tier Cosmic Being, Dragon Goddess Sword, The World, Ice Queen Sword
S Tier Great Mage Sword, Abyssal Empress, Strongest Shinobi, Atomic Sword, True Manipulator Sword, Moon Slayer, King of Heroes, Blessed Maiden
A Tier Corrupted Excalibur, Yamato, Strongest of Today, Demon King, Strongest in History
B Tier Shadow Monarch Sword, Slime Sword, Sin of Pride, Love Maiden
C Tier Manipulator Sword, Dragon Slayer Sword, Shadow Sword, Soul Reaper Sword, Solo Hunter Sword, Quincy, Limitless Sorcerer, Cursed King, Griffon Sword
D Tier Dark Blade, Vampire King, Cursed Vessel, Excalibur Sword
F Tier Katana, Combat

 

This is the quick ranking, but the real value comes from knowing why a weapon sits where it does.

 

Best Weapons by Tier

Sailor Tier

These are the top-end weapons in the game right now.

WeaponWhy It's Top Tier
Cosmic Being Best overall melee, crazy damage, low cooldowns
Dragon Goddess Sword Best pure sword damage in the game
The World Huge damage and strong AoE
Ice Queen Sword Meta pick for Sea Beast AFK farming

 

If you want the strongest account progression possible, these are the weapons that really move the needle.

 

S Tier

These are excellent and worth farming.

WeaponMain Strength
Great Mage Sword Very high damage, spammable V skill
Abyssal Empress Strong combo potential, high damage ceiling
Strongest Shinobi Great for Infinite Tower
Atomic Sword Very consistent damage and AoE
True Manipulator Sword Still hits hard even in current meta
Moon Slayer Great boss damage
King of Heroes One of the best AFK weapons
Blessed Maiden Strong all-around melee with short cooldowns

 

In practice, these are the weapons most endgame players should target before chasing the absolute best-in-slot options.

 

A Tier

A Tier weapons are strong, practical, and good enough for most players.

WeaponBest Use
Corrupted Excalibur Reliable damage with smooth skill rotation
Yamato Strong damage, weaker AoE
Strongest of Today Great for dungeons and tower
Demon King Good damage and AoE balance
Strongest in History Excellent for AFK farming grouped NPCs

 

If you're in mid-to-late game, this is a very good stopping point before the harder grinds.

 

B to F Tier

These are more situational, transitional, or simply outclassed.

TierNotes
B Tier Good weapons, but not must-have
C Tier Usable, often upgrade-path weapons
D Tier Early game only or limited value
F Tier Replace these as soon as possible

 

A few quick examples:

  • Shadow Monarch Sword is decent, but the grind feels too heavy for the payoff.
  • Griffon Sword is better than it looks for early farming.
  • Dark Blade can help early if you use its AoE well.
  • Katana and Combat are just temporary placeholders.

 

Best Weapons by Use Case

Most players do not need every ranking detail. They just want the right weapon for the content they play.

Use CaseBest Picks
Early Game Farming Griffon Sword, Dark Blade, Cursed Vessel
AFK Farming King of Heroes, Ice Queen Sword, Strongest in History
Boss Damage Cosmic Being, Dragon Goddess Sword, Moon Slayer
Infinite Tower Strongest Shinobi, Abyssal Empress, Strongest of Today
All-Around Endgame Atomic Sword, Great Mage Sword, The World, Cosmic Being

 

This is usually the most useful way to decide what to farm next. A weapon can rank high overall and still be the wrong pick for your current needs.

 

What We'd Prioritize First

If we were progressing on a fresh or undergeared account, this would be the general order:

StagePriority
Early Game Get any usable AoE weapon fast
Mid Game Upgrade into Strongest of Today, Slime Sword, or Soul Reaper Sword
Late Game Push for Corrupted Excalibur, Blessed Maiden, or Atomic Sword
Endgame Farm Cosmic Being, Dragon Goddess Sword, Great Mage Sword, and Ice Queen Sword

 

That progression path is efficient because it avoids over-investing in weapons that get replaced too quickly.

 

FAQ

What is the best melee in Sailor Piece?

Cosmic Being is the best melee overall right now because of its damage, cooldowns, and consistency across almost every type of content.

 

What is the best sword in Sailor Piece?

Dragon Goddess Sword is the best pure sword option if you want top-end damage on a sword build.

What should beginners get first?

Beginners should focus on Griffon Sword, Dark Blade, or Cursed Vessel depending on what they can access fastest.

 

Final Thoughts

The best weapon in Sailor Piece is not always the rarest one or the one with the flashiest effects. From a real progression standpoint, the best picks are the weapons that save time, clear faster, and stay useful across multiple game modes.

 

Right now, the biggest long-term targets are Cosmic Being, Dragon Goddess Sword, Ice Queen Sword, and Great Mage Sword. If you're still climbing, focus on reliable AoE and cooldown efficiency first, because that's what speeds up everything else.
