| Weapon | Stat Buffs | Why This Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Firstlight Sound Cleavers | +4 Damage +1.15x Damage Factor +6.9 Block Points +2.7x Block Regen +5 Max Stamina | + A Block-heavy Katana perfect for defensive players. + Gives the highest Block Points increase as well as the highest Block Regen buff. + Only falls short of the Nightfall Katana because of the slightly lower Damage buff. |

| Nightfall Serpent Katana | +4 Damage +1.2x Damage Factor +4.6 Block Points +2.04x Block Regen +5 Max Stamina | + A slightly watered-down version of the Nightfall Katana. + Easier to get, but doesn’t offer the same stat buffs, except for Max Stamina. |

| Weapon | Stat Buffs | Why This Tier |
|---|---|---|

| Weapon | Stat Buffs | Why This Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Nightfall Claws | +5.75 Damage +1.15x Damage Factor +7.4 Block Points +2.2x Block Regen +5 Max Stamina | + The V3 of the Claws you get from the Kaiden Boss. + The Damage buff is huge and matches the best weapons in the game. + Quick M1s that can easily open combo windows - Not the best for PvP because it lacks range. |
| Nightfall Sickles | +5.75 Damage +1.15x Damage Factor +7.95 Block Points +2.31x Block Regen +5 Max Stamina | + The best weapon to use if you are using the Blood Manipulation Demon Art. + Has very good mobility and ranged moves that make it extremely useful in PvE and PvP. + The AoE moves are perfect for farming mobs and bosses. - Not worth using if you don’t have Blood Manipulation Demon Art. |

| Nightfall Scythe | +5.75 Damage +1.15x Damage Factor +7.75 Block Points +2.27x Block Regens +5 Max Stamina | + Stats buffs that match some of the best late-game weapons in the game. + Allows you to target enemies and dish out AoE damage. - Feels slow and clunky.

What Demon Weapons are C Tier in Slayers 2
| Weapon | Stat Buffs | Why This Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Damascus Gauntlets | +4 Damage +1.08x Damage Factor +4.5 Block Points +1.7x Block Regen | + Decent moveset that offers a mix of ranged, AoE, and mobility moves. + Good for early-to-mid-game grind, considering it is pretty easy to obtain. + Can be used by both Demons and Demon Slayers. - Do not invest too much in Refining. Instead, keep it in inventory to get to V3 (Nightfall Gauntlets). Note: The Nightfall Gauntlets quest is currently broken. When it gets fixed, we’ll test out the Nightfall variant and rank it accordingly. |
| Axe and Mace | +2.2 Damage +1.04x Damage Factor +1.5 Block Points +0.85 Damage Reduction | + An excellent alternative to the Cutlass. + Fairly easy to get and gives the highest damage buff out of all V1 weapons in the game. + The only weapon that gives a Damage Reduction buff. - Do not invest too much. Instead, save up for the Nightfall Axe and Mace if you enjoy this weapon. |
Note: The Demons Weapon tier list is still a work-in-progress because we have yet to obtain and test some of the V2 and V3 weapons. Once we do that, this section will get updated accordingly.
