Anime Zero tier list
No tier list for this game is official — there is no published damage formula to rank against. What follows is the set of placements that multiple independent community rankings agree on, with the disagreements named instead of averaged away.
Consensus top. If it drops, you build around it.
Carries endgame content; the realistic chase targets.
Fine while you wait for an A-tier; not worth reroll-heavy investment.
Early-game starters. Replace, do not build.
Tier board from in-game footage (checked 2026-10-10)
The board below is the latest visual evidence we have: a tier list built out of the game's own weapon cards, circulating in creator videos. It disagrees with the older site rosters in two ways worth knowing — it puts Cursed King at the top, and it names three weapons no written roster carries: Dragon Eclipse, Immortal Sovereign and Divine Emperor. The placements are the creator's reading, not the developer's; the cards themselves are from the game.
Evidence: in-game weapon cards captured from creator footage (YouTube video 3QxKuMFpL1E, ~1:05–1:20), read frame by frame. Weapon names on the cards are the game's own; the same applies to the written descriptions now on each weapon page.
Where the rankings disagree
- Cursed King. One ranking places it at the very top on raw damage; others keep Cataclysm alone in S because Cursed King's area coverage is narrower. Both readings are on the record — pick by whether you farm single bosses or wave content.
- Alucard's survivability. Several showcases claim the kit heals. No roster confirms it, so it is excluded from the ranking above and flagged on its page.
- Everything below Mythic. Placements in the Legendary and Epic bands are effectively a consensus of one for most entries — there is not enough independent testing to call them settled.
The five-minute method (no formula needed)
Tier lists go stale the day after a patch, so the durable skill is judging a pull yourself. Four questions, in order:
- 01Does the ultimate hit more than one target? Wave content and raids weight area damage far above single-target numbers.
- 02Does the kit fight at the range you actually play? A top-tier sword you never get to swing loses to a Legendary you can use.
- 03How many Trait Rerolls does it need before it performs? A weapon that is only good with a perfect trait costs twice.
- 04Is a banner update imminent? Chasing the current S-tier the week before a new one is how accounts waste resources.
Rankings only matter once you own something worth ranking — codes are the fastest spins, and the full roster shows which rarities still have no published placement.
