Weapon tier list

[Ought Schnapps]

What do you, fellas, think are the top tier weapons?

[Cougarific]

Highly situational. I used different weapons depending on the map & what I'm going for - 5-skull, high score, grinding, etc.

[Termagant]

Stone staff is extremely good. Especially for early game when you dont have the unbeatable killbox set up yet.

Scepter of Domination

[Chocolate Treats]

Stone has been great for me on endless, the piercing attack gets more and more valuable the later it gets, with all the monsters it can pass though. Good to snipe out the exploding kobalds, being able to pierce everything.
The turning to stone alt attack can really clutch. good utility to stop groups in traps.

That said, id rather have the ice gem outside of endless as the gem freezes on the main attack with little manna

Arcane staff has been good for damage for me, its main attack is long range and decent damage while the alt does a lot of damage in an aoe.

I dislike the fire gauntlet, it cost a lot of manna for not that much damage. Its alt attack "fire wall" is a tiny joke

Havent tried much else yet.

I rarely leave home without a crossbow, ice amulet and wind belt.
Stone Staff is good too once you get the range upgrade.

[derw4tz]

i find the weapons pretty balanced; haven´t tried all yet;

the bow is a pretty good alrounder
Fst firing speed, head shots and bleed on auto attack;

[shadowjhone]

1 - Gabby primary weapon
2 - Stone Scepter

1. Stone staff

Charm wand have 3 attacks ... only because of it Iplace it above Stone Staff... I actually use Charm Wand and Stone Staff Togheter ...

I love it in every game along with the lightning ring as both secondaries are essentially free damage and combo points. Lightning ring has had ups and downs through the games with this one being the lowest as a crappy trinket but in previous games it would slow/chill guys as well as do large "primary" chaining damage.

Flame bracers secondary can be tossed down in front of your kill box for damage and combo if you're not running a fire trap and can be used as a fire and forget kobold or sapper defense. Then if needed can chuck some fireballs in for some damage and combo.

Blunderbuss?

[Diesel]

Blunderbuss has good damage and crowd control but lacks range making it a pain to deal with archers unless you go into the horde to deal with them which is dangerous. Probably the least mana reliant weapon in the game. I like to rock this when I want an extra trap and not a mana trinket.

The bow with the straight line burst is a great sniper weapon to shred a single target very quickly at a distance, it can also pierce enemies so it's good for straight lines. Awful at close range and bad against fast targets.

Crossbow sacrifices the damage and pierce of the bow for better crowd control and better at dealing with faster targets.

I don't know much about the melee weapons, never been a fan, they seem awful for endless as the enemies do more damage and you start to do less.

Sceptre of domination seems to be underrated, has amazing damage with the charge shot and can one-shot ogres with a fully charged headshot and the second ability is a great distraction tool. Lacks the ability to stop hordes like the stone staff, crossbow stun or the blunderbuss with ice grenades.

Stone staff, best all round weapon, great crowd control, great pierce, can stop a horde and can deal with big targets with ease. However, it is a jack of all trades, master of none weapon imo.

Flame ring was my favourite weapon in OMD2 because of stun fire walls, it's just pretty bad now

Can’t wait to see you compare melee to range weapons in your weapon tier list. Wave 20 on survival for the test though.

That would be easy mode, yeah. I prefer Cygnus's staff + Storm ring, or said staff and the wand. I don't mind stone staff, it's just that it;s rather repetitive and mindless to use: hold primary fire, spam secondary when they're close.

Staff of Domination fires as fast as you can click the button. Makes it very good single target damage.

Crossbow is the highest headshot dps against heavies that I have seen. Freeze then crossbow them dead. Takes no time at all.

Blunderbuss is the heavy killer you pick when you are starved for slots. Functional damage and freeze in a single slot is great. This weapon is objectively better than the magic bow who's only selling point is you can apply bleed with it for combos. Play Kelsey for your first clear of the game.

Bladestaff is an amazing weapon for dealing with hordes of little enemies. You can CC huge numbers for cheap mana cost with its secondary and get the AoE damage of a melee.

Freeze bracer is the cheapest heavy capable on demand CC you can bring. Always have some form of CC for heavies.

Wind Belt is better than many people give credit. Its very cheap to use and there are a lot of places you can get mass insta kills with it.

Stone staff is of course very good. Wide range CC, decent mana cost, piercing shot. Not top DPS but it does two things at once like the Blunderbuss.

Bad Weapons. Do not ever use: Sword, flame bracer, arcane staff (Dom is better in literally every way),
