Meta Snapshot

Where Winds Meet Weapons Tier List

This tier list is based on early global-launch impressions, community discussions, and published rankings. Expect changes as balance patches drop and new Martial Arts combos emerge—treat this as a snapshot, not gospel.

Tier Definitions

S-Tier: Outstanding performance in most content with minimal setup.
A-Tier: Strong and reliable, sometimes situational but easy to recommend.
B/C-Tier: Playable but require more investment, niche builds, or higher skill.

S-Tier – Early Standouts

Early meta reports place certain sword, spear, and fan options at the top thanks to high base stats, powerful Martial Arts support, and flexibility in both solo and co-op play. If you want to chase current meta, prioritize weapons with:

Strong burst or sustained damage.
Reliable defensive tools or crowd control.
Synergy with popular Martial Arts builds and Lightness Skills.

A-Tier – Trusted All-Rounders

Many sword and spear variants fall here: they trail the absolute best but remain fantastic for the main story, professions, and most multiplayer encounters. With a good build and upgrades, an A-tier weapon can feel S-tier for your preferred playstyle.

B/C-Tier – Niche or Stylish Picks

Lower-tier weapons often feature awkward hitboxes, animation locks, or heavy resource costs. They can still shine in themed builds, challenge runs, or role-play, but if you’re struggling, consider swapping to a more forgiving option until you master enemy timings.

Updating the Tier List

Where Winds Meet is a live game. New gears, professions, and balance patches will reshape the tier list, so revisit this page after major updates. Always prioritize fun—if your favorite weapon sits outside S-tier but you enjoy it, keep playing it and adjust your build around its strengths.
