V Rising offers a variety of weapons to choose from, each with its own set of skills. The weapons in V Rising are all identical in terms of damage, with the two specific talents the weapons have acting as a differentiator. This guide ranks all of the finest weapons in V Rising based on their utility.
We’ve compiled a list of the finest weapons in V Rising based on their fighting effectiveness and unique abilities.
Sword
Because of its adaptability in all battle scenarios, the Sword is arguably the finest weapon in V Rising. It has a high attack rate, which comes in handy if you’re employing a critical strike-focused build. It’s particularly handy in Vegetation, the game’s most prevalent terrain.
Whirlwind: Your character will whirl and slice foes in the attack range for 1.1 seconds, causing 35 percent physical damage. Every 0.25s of attack duration, damage is dealt. The cooldown for this talent is 8 seconds.
Shockwave: A shockwave is launched, doing 70% physical damage to foes for 1.6 seconds. This talent has an effect on foes who are blasted into the air by the shockwave. This talent also has an 8-second cooldown. The talent may also be recast to teleport to an adversary and strike them three times, each time doing 25% physical damage.
Spear
The Spear is the second most powerful weapon in the V Rising. It lacks the versatility of the Sword, but it has a high attack speed that is excellent against one-hit weaker adversaries. Nature can pierce numerous adversaries in a single assault with to its thrust attack, making it a very destructive weapon.
In V Rising, the Spear is extremely helpful against a variety of monsters. The abilities of Spear in V Rising are detailed here.
Thousand Spears: A multi-stab attack is launched, doing 30% physical damage in eight ticks. A thrust attack is executed if you recast this skill within the effective duration, knocking foes back and doing 50% physical damage. It has an 8-second cooldown.
Harpoon: Throw the Spear at the adversary to entice them closer to you and deal 70% physical damage. It has an 8-second cooldown as well.
Axes
The Axes is ranked third on our list since its damage is not as great as the first two weapons.
Axes have a good attack speed and attack rate. Its talents, on the other hand, are quite valuable, which compensates for some of its damage and attack rate weaknesses. It has the following abilities:
X-Strike: Launch two axes in the form of an X at your opponent. Each axe strike does 85 percent physical damage and slows the target for 1.5 seconds. If both axes strike the adversary, they are stunned for two seconds. The cooldown for this talent is 8 seconds.
Frenzy: Charge towards the nearest adversary and do 100 percent physical damage, triggering the Frenzy condition. On each successful hit on an adversary, mobility speed is enhanced by 25% and attack speed is raised by 30% for 0.8 seconds. This talent has an 8-second cooldown.
Mace
The Mace is ranked fourth on our list. Even though it is the weapon that does the most damage in the game, its strike speed is much slower than other weapons. Mining is Mace’s expertise, thus if you’re utilizing a tanky build, this may be an excellent weapon for you.
Crushing Blow: Jump closer to the adversary and slap the Mace on the ground, doing 110 percent physical damage and entangling the attacker for 2 seconds. This talent has an 8-second cooldown.
Smack: Smack foes in the face to do 50% physical damage and fling them away from you. The opponents are also rendered immobile for 1.2 seconds. This strike has a 9-second cooldown.
Crossbow
The Crossbow is the sole ranged weapon in V Rising for now. It doesn’t cause much damage, but it provides you a range edge over your opponents. It has the following abilities:
Rain of Bolts: Fire five bolts at the opponents, each doing 40 percent physical damage. It also gives the opponents 1.5 seconds of snare. This talent has an 8-second cooldown.
Snapshot: Fires fast bullets that do 75% damage to foes, halting their attacks and causing snare for 2 seconds. This talent has an 8-second cooldown.
Reaper
The Reaper is comparable to V Rising’s Mace weapon. It has a modest attack speed but causes a lot of damage every hit. The talents of these two weapons are what distinguishes them.
Reaper has a talent that can deal 125 percent of physical damage, which is ridiculous. This weapon is very effective against undead foes.
Howling Reaper: Launch a howling reaper at the opponents, doing 20% physical damage every 0.25 seconds for a total of 2.5 seconds. The enemies are likewise slowed by 1.5 seconds. This talent has an 8-second cooldown.
Tendon Swing: The reaper swings his tendons, doing 125 percent physical damage to foes within range. It also knocks them down for 2 seconds and snares them. This talent has an 8-second cooldown.
Slasher
The Slasher is the last weapon on our list. It has a quick attack speed but not a great deal of damage output. It also lacks a speciality, making it an unsuitable weapon. A Slasher’s lone saving grace is its Camouflage skill, which temporarily renders you invisible.
Elusive Strike: Slash foes forward and back, doing 60% physical damage and slowing them for 2 seconds with each strike. This talent has an 8-second cooldown.
