The world of Hytale is full of dangers despite its idyllic landscapes that can quickly cost you your life. Therefore, it’s important to equip the best weapons so that you can survive a battle. You can find out which ones they are in our Tier List.
Which are the best weapons? Currently, there are 6 types of weapons in the Early Access of Hytale, but not all of them are worth using against your enemies. We have therefore compared all weapons, gathered opinions from the community, and ranked them in our Tier List. Here are the results we have come up with:
| Tier | Weapon Type |
|---|---|
| S | Sword, Bow |
| A | Dagger, Crossbow, Hammer |
| B | Great Axe, |
Currently, swords and bows are the most reliable choices, as they are easy to use and offer advantages that their competitors do not have. Below, we will discuss the best weapons in the S-Tier and explain why they have earned their ranking.
Please note that this is only a provisional neutral ranking. If, for example, you love daggers and can quickly slice through enemy crowds with them, there’s nothing wrong with placing them at tier S in your personal ranking. If you have feedback, feel free to share it in the comments.
The best weapons – These are the ones you should take
Sword – The best melee weapon
Why is the weapon so good? The sword impresses above all with its fast attack pattern and high range. The biggest advantage, however, is that it is a one-handed weapon. You can carry a sword and simultaneously protect yourself with a shield or illuminate dark areas with a torch.
This makes traveling much easier and fighting safer. The disadvantage of the sword is its low damage compared to the available two-handed weapons. Fights tend to drag on as a result.
Bow – The best ranged weapon
Why is the weapon so good? The bow has the highest range of all weapons when fully drawn. The damage is solid, and maintaining your ammunition is easy since arrows are not costly to produce. The problem with the bow is the long draw time, which can leave you vulnerable in close combat. Enemies can then easily take advantage of you.
So, if you use the bow, it’s best to fight at long distances, with the option to switch to your melee weapons in critical situations.
What about the weapons at tiers A and B? They are not bad in themselves and can also carry you through to the endgame. However, they have greater disadvantages compared to S-tier weapons. In the hands of inexperienced adventurers, using them can cost you your life more quickly. But if you’re already skilled, there’s nothing wrong with using them.
You also have the option to upgrade your weapons in Hytale to deal even more damage. For this, you need various materials, including cobalt. We will show you how to find it here in our guide: Hytale: Find and use cobalt – For this, you need the blue ore
