Harpoon: Throw a spear that deals 70% physical damage and pulls the enemy towards you (8s cooldown).Recast during the effect to perform a thrust attack dealing 50% physical damage and knocking enemies back (8s cooldown) A Thousand Spears: Perform a multi-stab attack, dealing 30% physical damage 8 times.And the Whirlwind skill, which you earn at the Copper tier of weapons, is a good AoE damage-dealer which also increases your movement speed for its duration, adding even more mobility to the Sword's skillset. Shockwave is a great movement skill which can help you avoid powerful attacks while your dash is on cooldown, while also dealing significant damage to a target enemy. The Sword is a fantastic all-rounder, and its high attack speed makes it ideal for builds which focus on critical strikes.

The Axes, Mace, and Reaper are all similar weapons which deal good damage per hit, but don't quite match the strength of the faster-acting weapons. The Spear lacks any such mobility tool, but it's unrivalled at bursting down single targets, which earns it a worthy second place in our tier list. We think the Sword is the best weapon in V Rising at the moment thanks to its superior damage-per-second, and its powerful Shockwave and Whirlwind attacks, which you can use to dodge and chase enemies while dealing high damage.
