Sailor Piece Weapons Tier List – Best Melees and Swords Ranked (February 2026)

Updated: February 24, 2026 This Sailor Piece weapons tier list is based on the current King & Monarch update and will be changed as new weapons are added or balance updates are made.

One of the most important choices you'll make in Sailor Piece is which weapon to use. With a wide variety of melee orbs (specs) and swords available, picking the wrong one can seriously slow your progress. Whether you're farming mobs, grinding boss fights, or competing in PvP, your weapon's damage scaling, AoE potential, and late-game viability all matter.

To help you make the right choice, we've put together a complete Sailor Piece Weapons tier list — split into two separate rankings: one for all melee specs (orbs) and one for all swords, including their rarities from Rare up to Mythical. Each weapon has been evaluated based on damage output, upgrade scaling, farming efficiency, boss fight performance, and PvP viability.

⇓ META SPECS ⇓

S

Strongest of Today

Strongest in History

Gilgamesh

Anos

⇓ VERY GOOD SPECS ⇓

A

Conquerer Haki

Madoka

⇓ DECENT SPECS ⇓

B

Sukuna

Qin Shi

Alucard

⇓ MID SPECS ⇓

C

Combat

Gojo

Yuji

• S Tier (Meta) — The strongest weapons in the current patch. These offer top-tier damage output, excellent scaling with upgrades, and are viable in every game mode, including endgame boss farming and PvP. If you can get your hands on one, prioritize it.
• A Tier (Very Good) — Solid weapons that perform exceptionally well and are reliable choices for most players. They may fall slightly short of S Tier in raw damage or versatility, but are strong picks for both PvE and PvP content.
• B Tier (Decent) — Good weapons with clear use cases, particularly in mid-game progression and specific scenarios like wave clearing or sustained fights. They're worth using if you don't have access to higher-tier options yet.
• C Tier (Mid/Weak) — Below-average weapons that are primarily useful for newer players in early-game stages. Poor damage scaling means they fall off fast — replace them as soon as possible.

S Tier — Best Melee Specs (Orbs) in Sailor Piece

These are the strongest melee orbs in Sailor Piece right now. All four specs in S Tier offer exceptional late-game damage scaling, strong performance in both boss fights and farming, and are considered META picks in the current patch. If you're looking for the best melee spec to invest in, start here.

Melee Orb	Pros & Cons
Anos	+ Deals extremely heavy damage with its abilities + Excellent scaling into late-game + Strong performance in both farming and boss fights
Gilgamesh	+ Has abilities that deal consistent DPS output + Very effective against multiple enemies at once + Reliable choice for late-game progression
Strongest in History	+ Has abilities that deal exceptional burst damage + Dominates against high-level bosses + Very strong overall damage output in any stage of the game
Strongest of Today	+ Scales well with ability upgrades + Provides excellent combat utility and survivability + One of the strongest late-game specs available

A Tier — Very Good Melee Specs

A Tier melee specs are excellent choices that hold up well throughout the game. Conquerer Haki stands out as arguably the best spec for mob farming and wave clearing thanks to its AoE and crowd control, while Madoka is a reliable all-rounder that scales well into the endgame and performs consistently in both PvP and boss encounters.

Melee Orb	Pros & Cons
Madoka	+ Damage output increases with upgrades + Performs consistently across PvP and boss fights + Great option for progressing toward end-game
Conquerer Haki	+ Can inflict AoE as well as Crowd Control + Ideal for most PvE fights and against bosses + Arguably the best melee spec for farming or wave clearing

B Tier — Decent Melee Specs

B Tier specs are solid mid-game options, each with a specific niche. Sukuna excels against grouped enemies with its strong AoE and damage-over-time, though it requires heavy grinding to reach its peak. Qin Shi is ideal for sustained, long-duration fights but relies on summons for most of its damage. Alucard is powerful if you can obtain it — its regeneration and ranged zoning make it a strong utility spec — but it's one of the hardest to unlock in the game.

Melee Orb	Pros & Cons
Alucard	+ Has exceptional regeneration that improves survivability + Grants ranged zoning that is useful during boss fights - One of the hardest specs to obtain
Qin Shi	+ Very strong spec for mid-game progression + Useful spec for sustained, long-duration fights - Relies heavily on summons for damage output
Sukuna	+ Has high DPS with strong AoE and damage-over-time effects + Performs extremely well against grouped enemies - Requires heavy grinding and materials to reach maximum potential

C Tier — Weakest Melee Specs in Sailor Piece

C Tier specs are the weakest melee orbs currently available and are not recommended beyond the early game. Combat is the default starter spec — easy to use but with very low damage scaling that makes it a liability past the first few hours. Yuji has decent AoE and DPS on paper, but lacks synergy with most builds. Gojo has some niche PvP use thanks to its mobility, but its overall DPS is too low to justify investing resources into it.

Melee Orb	Pros & Cons
Gojo	+ Useful spec in PvP, due to its mobility - Requires heavy investment for maximum potential - Lower overall DPS compared to higher-tier specs
Yuji	+ Useful spec for PvE, due to AoE and high DPS - Lacks in comparison to other Melee Specs - Does not have good synergy with other components
Combat	+ Easy to obtain and use for new players - Very low damage scaling - Quickly becomes ineffective past early progression

Sailor Piece Sword Tier List — All Swords Ranked by Rarity and Performance

Swords in Sailor Piece range from common Rare drops all the way up to hard-to-get Mythical weapons. Unlike melee specs, swords have a visible rarity tier that reflects their base stats — but rarity alone doesn't tell the full story, as upgrade potential and ability damage matter just as much. Here's how every sword currently ranks in Sailor Piece.

⇓ META SWORDS ⇓

S

Ichigo

Shadow

Shadow Monarch

⇓ VERY GOOD SWORDS ⇓

A

Ragna

Rimuru

⇓ DECENT SWORDS ⇓

B

Jinwoo

Saber

Aizen

⇓ MID SWORDS ⇓

C

Katana

Dark Blade

S Tier — Best Swords in Sailor Piece

All three S Tier swords are Mythical rarity, and for good reason. Shadow Monarch is the strongest weapon in the current meta — its raw ability damage and critical hit potential make it capable of melting bosses and dominating in PvP. Shadow is the best choice for high-level farming, offering exceptional endgame damage once fully upgraded. Ichigo rounds out the top tier as the most accessible of the three, obtainable from multiple sources and reliable across all content from PvE grinding to late-game boss runs.

Sword	Rarity	Pros & Cons
Shadow	Mythical	+ Deals exceptional end-game damage + Extremely powerful once fully upgraded + Best weapon for high-level farming and bosses
Shadow Monarch	Mythical	+ Deals heavy critical damage capable of melting down bosses + Perfect end-game weapon that performs well in boss fights and PvP + Strongest weapon in the current meta due to its raw ability damage
Ichigo	Mythical	+ Provides reliable performance in both PvE and boss fights + Can be obtained easily from multiple sources + Best weapon for long-term usage and grinding

A Tier — Very Good Swords in Sailor Piece

Both A Tier swords are Mythical rarity and are among the strongest weapons available for players pushing into the late game. Rimuru scales exceptionally well with upgrades and deals massive damage in the endgame, making it a top pick for players who invest in it. Ragna offers consistent DPS and excellent burst damage against bosses, making it a reliable bridge weapon on your way to the S Tier mythicals.

Sword	Rarity	Pros & Cons
Ragna	Mythical	+ Provides consistent DPS due to its raw damage abilities + Deals excellent burst damage against bosses + Perfect sword for crawling into the late-game
Rimuru	Mythical	+ Deals massive late-game damage due to its raw damage stats + The weapon scales extremely well with upgrades + One of the strongest weapons for the late-game

B Tier — Decent Swords

B Tier swords are solid mid-game options that start to show their limitations in the late game. Aizen is a Mythical sword that performs well against bosses but is heavily locked into Aizen-specific builds. Jinwoo is another Mythical that deals good burst damage but is outclassed by stronger Mythicals once you reach endgame content. Saber, the only Legendary in this tier, is easy to obtain through boss drops and tickets and has strong early-to-mid game performance — but it falls off significantly in the late game and should be replaced once a higher-tier sword becomes available.

Sword	Rarity	Pros & Cons
Saber	Legendary	+ Has strong early-to-mid game performance + Can be easily obtained through boss drops or tickets - Falls behind other higher-tier weapons in the late game
Jinwoo	Mythical	+ Deals solid burst damage due to its raw damage abilities + Viable weapon for mid-game progression - Outclassed by stronger Mythical swords in the late-game
Aizen	Mythical	+ Performs well against bosses due to its raw damage output + Best weapon for mid to late-game progression - Doesn't perform well outside of Aizen-focused builds

C Tier — Weakest Swords

C Tier swords are starter weapons that should be replaced as quickly as possible. Dark Blade (Epic rarity) is easy to play and upgrade, but has poor scaling that makes it obsolete by mid-game. Katana is the weakest sword in the game — Rare rarity, low damage output, and not viable beyond the earliest stages of progression. Use these to get started, but don't invest resources into upgrading them.

Sword	Rarity	Pros & Cons
Dark Blade	Epic	+ Easy weapon to play and upgrade - Only good for the early game - Poor scaling makes it obsolete quickly
Katana	Rare	+ Very easy to obtain early on - Low overall damage output - Not viable beyond early stages of the game
