All weapons are good in Cursed Blade but not all weapon skills are equal. Some are quite weak and some are drastically more powerful than others so you should look for them when selecting weapons. Here's my Cursed Blade Weapon Skill tier list and guide. Table of contents Cursed Blade Weapon Skill Tier List Best & Worst Sword Skills Best & Worst Bow Skills Best & Worst Staff Skills Cursed Blade Weapon Skill Tier List Image by Destructoid My rankings for the best weapon skill in Cursed Blade are based on both raw damage, AOE and boss-killing capabilities as well as overall utility like defense/mobility/etc. You can consider the S-Tier to be the Meta options and A-Tiers as optimal alternatives so if you see them on a weapon it's worth prioritizing them over minor stats. The C-Tiers are generally the worst options damage-wise and I would avoid weapons with them. As for B-Tiers these are situational alternatives and you can use them as long as the other two skills are from S or A. Best & Worst Sword Skills Ranking Category Sword Skill Ranking Reasons Best Sword Ultimate Rage Slash • Some of the highest burst damage you can do in Cursed Blade Best Sword Skill WrathStep SlashArmor • Wrath is massive Fury generation when fighting groups which just makes your overall build better• Step Slash is the best mobility and damage skill in the game • Armor is a must-have in late-game for tanking Worst Sword Ultimate • It's too slow and can be awkward to land in late-game boss fights Worst Sword Skill • Low range and low damage, I wouldn't use this Best & Worst Bow Skills Ranking Category Bow Skill Ranking Reasons Best Bow Ultimate • A much better piercing arrow option than the base skill and deals much more damage than Arrow Volley Best Bow Skill Lightning ArrowsFrost Arrows • Lightning Arrows are excellent crowd killers, especially against elites• Frost Arrows is both great damage and also slows to set up either your AOE skills or your allies or kite the boss around Worst Bow Ultimate Arrow Volley • It's not worth consuming all Focus since the damage is low Worst Bow Skill Piercing Arrows • It is piercing but it's just such a low damage burst Best & Worst Staff Skills Ranking Category Staff Skill Ranking Reasons Best Staff Ultimate Detonation Magic • Some of the best AOE burst damage you can get in the game for clearing groups• Scales incredibly well with Spell Volley Best Staff Skill Spell VolleyFrost Storm • Spell Volley is one of the best skills in the game overall• You're basically getting a fourth skill by casting 2 skills twice• As for Frost Storm it's just reliable AOE damage on a short cooldown Worst Staff Ultimate Lightning Storm • Works similarly to Detonation Magic but it simply weaker DPS-wise Worst Staff Skill FireballScorch Ray • Both of these just deal lower damage than other Staff skills and are more awkward to use/land on a group That's it for my Cursed Blade Weapon Skill tier list and guide.
