Which weapon has the highest damage?

[Nemesis]

Question is above.

That's an odd question to ask because there's too many variables to account for when answering such a broad question. Which weapon has the largest single hit damage? Great Sword.

[Silent Bob]

Depends on what you mean by damage. If you mean the highest damage dealt in a single hit that would be GS. If you mean DPS its hard to tell because depends on a lot of factors.

Rajang or magnamalo if he has his purple glow

I mean if you are only interested in dps...

That being said. It only considers speedrun. Things that have been repeated over and over and over again to achieve a desired result. So this graph only really shows what's best in optimal conditions. a decent lance main will still outdamage a bad gunner or GS player. At the end of the day pretty much none of us are speedrunners.

If u have to ask this question, u are not ready to know the answer.

The one you play best. But hey, despite some complaints i've heard from fellow DB mains, i've had a good time slaughtering everything in Rise with them.

[Misfit]

for casual play? lbg, hbg and bow, not much competition there.
outside of speedruns you have much more downtime with melee, compared to ranged weapons.

[Senrezu]

The weapon that you have practiced most with.

Have to agree with the only helpful answer above. Pretty much all three of the ranged weapons I've found to be top tier when it comes to reliable DPS.

However, I've also seen LS, GS, and SnS do relatively high DPS by comparison in random hunts.

For a moment there I thought you were OP answering their own question... then I realised you just have the same picture.

[Jman]

Melee Heavy Gunbow is the highest DPS. You will, destroy, everything...

Lance main reporting in.

We may not do the most dps, but when everyone else has to back up because the monster sneezes, we can just keep poke poking away until the thing is dead.
