How we rank

Each list uses one stated metric, never a blend of opinions.

  1. Melee: add up the damage of every attack in the combo and divide by the combo's animation length at the weapon's attack speed.
  2. Ranged: damage of one shot, counting every projectile it fires, divided by the seconds between shots.
  3. Tier = the weapon's score as a share of the best in the same class: S at 90% or more, A at 80%, B at 70%, C at 60%, D below.

Limits: Scores use base stats and a single target. Enchantments, gear effects, item level, crowd hits and charged shots are not included.

How We Source Data →

78 weapons are ranked: 56 melee by combo DPS within weight classes and 22 ranged by burst DPS within bows and crossbows. Melee leaders: Light: Twilight Dagger, Medium: Pride of the Plains, Heavy: War Hammer, Other: Gauntlets. Ranged leaders: Bow: Greatbow, Crossbow: Heavy Crossbow. Scores use base stats: enchantments, gear effects and item level shift every weapon, so treat tiers as a starting point.

Tier list FAQ

What is the best melee weapon in Minecraft Dungeons II?

Twilight Dagger, at 51.9 single-target DPS over its full combo. By weight class: Light: Twilight Dagger, Medium: Pride of the Plains, Heavy: War Hammer, Other: Gauntlets.

What is the best bow or crossbow?

Greatbow, at 180 burst DPS. By family: Bow: Greatbow, Crossbow: Heavy Crossbow.

Why are weapons ranked within their class?

Light, medium and heavy weapons (and bows versus crossbows) trade speed for reach, stagger and area, so a single mixed ranking would just favour one play style. Tiers show how close a weapon is to the best of its own kind.

How is this tier list ranked?

Melee DPS adds up every attack in a weapon's combo and divides by the combo's animation length, read from the game files. Ranged DPS is shot damage ÷ seconds between shots. Tiers compare each weapon with the best in its class.
