As you venture further into the vast world of Enshrouded, you steadily come across more intimidating foes, which means you need strong gear to go up against them successfully. 

So, if you want to become as powerful as possible and capable of tackling any challenge, here are all the best weapons you can use in Enshrouded.

Enshrouded best weapons, ranked

The best weapons in Enshrouded include a mix of melee and ranged weapons since you’ll be the most efficient fighter possible when you consistently use both. These weapons are ranked based on their sheer power and possibility.

Remember that weapons’ power scales depend on the area in which you find them. This is the case with all loot, which means you could potentially come across much weaker versions of the strongest weapons. Because of this, you won’t get any of the best weapons until you’re a decent way into the game.

10) Blackened Staff

• Damage: 152
• Unlock: Chest Loot

The Blackened Staff deals a whopping 152 damage. It’s a pretty straightforward staff, so you must craft Staff Charges to harness this weapon’s power consistently. This means the Blackened Staff requires a bit more work than some of the other best weapons in Enshrouded, but the result is undoubtedly worth it for the amount of damage you can deal.

9) Elder’s Staff

• Damage: 154
• Unlock: Chest Loot

You can loot the Elder’s Staff around the Kindlewastes and Nomad Highlands area. If you do find it, you’ll be capable of dishing out 154 damage with it. This weapon has the same slight drawback as the previous one since it also requires consistent patience in crafting Staff Charges.

8) Enshrouded Axe

• Damage: 154
• Unlock: Chest Loot
• Durability: 280

The Enshrouded Axe is a big, mean, metal-looking weapon with 154 damage. This is a superb weapon if you’re focused on being a brutal damage dealer who gets up close with enemies to deal substantial damage. 

7) Crackling Wand

• Damage: 155
• Unlock: Chest Loot
• Durability: 250
• Additional Stats: 10% Overcharge, 0.6s Attack Speed, + 2 Mana Regen

If you prefer combat with a wand where you can safely attack from a distance away, the Crackling Wand is a compelling option for you. I love wand combat and find it highly efficient in Enshrouded since you can take out many opponents from far away before they can get close enough to you to deal damage, so the Crackling Wand is a strong choice. This weapon also focuses on Fire damage.

6) Extinguished Sword

• Damage: 158
• Unlock: Chest Loot
• Durability: 300

The Extinguished Sword is a powerful option if a sword is more of the weapon you seek. This sword can deal 158 damage and has the bonus of looking pretty unique. You might prefer a heavier weapon if you’re focused on being a stronger damage dealer or a lighter one if you prefer damage from afar, but this sword is an excellent middle ground between the two.

5) Tainted Axe

• Damage: 158
• Boss and Chest Loot
• Durability: 250

You can obtain the mighty Tainted Axe by taking down a Fell Thunderbrute, an imposing foe you first come across early at the Elixir Well after recruiting the Blacksmith. This weapon can deal 158 damage and is an excellent option if you’re leaning into one of the strength-based classes. 

4) Ignited Hammer

• Damage: 187
• Unlock: Chest Loot
• Durability: 280
• Parry Power: 394

There’s a big jump in damage when you get to the Ignited Hammer, a massive and very powerful weapon. You can deal 187 damage with this one, and it also has 394 parry power, which makes it a well-rounded and strong choice for an up-close damage dealer.

3) Great Mace

• Damage: 210
• Unlock: Chest Loot
• Durability: 320
• Parry Power: 581

The Great Mace deals an impressive 210 damage, has 581 parry power, and is one of the best weapons you can equip. This certainly will only fit some players’ playstyle since it’s an imposing and heavy weapon meant for a DPS-style player, but it fits well with all of the strength class types and is by far one of the best weapons you can get in Enshrouded. 

2) Aerostriker

• Damage: 213
• Unlock: Chest Loot
• Durability: 280
• Parry Power: 605

Aerostriker is another phenomenal weapon for up-close combat-focused players. You can deal 213 damage with this one, and it also comes with 605 parry power, which makes it an all-around strong and brutal choice. It can be found as loot in the Nomad Highlands and Kindlewastes areas, which makes it a somewhat easy weapon to obtain if luck is on your side. 

1) Sun Hammer

• Damage: 235
• Unlock: Chest Loot
• Durability: 380
• Parry Power: 867

The absolute best weapon in Enshrouded is the imposing Sun Hammer, a massive tanky hammer that can deal an immense 235 damage. It’s also got an incredible 867 parry power.

No other weapon comes even close in terms of the sheer damage possibilities this one presents, so if you’re looking for the overall best weapon you can use, this is undoubtedly the one. You need to level up enough to tackle challenging areas before finding this strong weapon and most others.

So, there you have it. You know everything you need about the best weapons in Enshrouded. Enjoy!
