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.

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.
| Factor | Why 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.
| Tier | Weapons / 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.
| Weapon | Why 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.
| Weapon | Main 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.
| Weapon | Best 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.
| Tier | Notes |
|---|---|
| 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 Case | Best 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:
| Stage | Priority |
|---|---|
| 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 is the best AFK weapon?
King of Heroes is one of the best general AFK picks, while Ice Queen Sword is the key weapon for Sea Beast AFK farming.
↖ Is Atomic Sword worth getting?
Yes. Atomic Sword is one of the most reliable endgame weapons because it performs well in both farming and boss content.
↖ 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.
