![Elden Ring: Best Faith Weapons Tier List (2) Elden Ring: Best Faith Weapons Tier List (2)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.hardcoregamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/elden-ring-best-faith-weapons-tier-list.jpg)
Key Takeaways
- Faith is crucial for using powerful weapons in Elden Ring, with unique skills dealing Fire and Holy damage.
- This is a tier list that ranks every Faith weapon in the game, considering factors like stats, weight, and moveset.
- To maximize the potential of Faith weapons, players should invest in the Faith attribute up to the soft caps of 60 for skills and 80 for weapon scaling.
Faith is the primary attribute needed to cast Incantations and use Sacred Seals in Elden Ring. In addition, the attribute is essential for players who use builds that incorporate Faith-scaling weapons. Many of these weapons come equipped with unique skills that deal Fire and/or Holy damage, a potent combination if you’re going up against unarmored and undead enemies.

Elden Ring: Best Intelligence Weapons Tier List
Fight intelligently as you explore The Lands Between.
Thanks to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, players have more options than ever at their disposal when it comes to Faith-scaling weapons. In fact, the number of options can be downright overwhelming for some, which is why we put together a handy tier list that ranks every Faith weapon in the game, including those added in the DLC.
About Our Ranking Criteria
We took into consideration every factor we could think of when putting together this tier list. That includes not just raw stats, but also weight, length, speed, versatility, moveset, and unique skills. Weapon requirements were deemed less important, and we didn’t factor in at all the difficulty of obtaining these weapons. We’re not dismissing the satisfaction of using a hard-earned weapon, but those armaments don’t necessarily perform better than those found randomly during exploration.
It’s also worth noting that we ranked all these weapons based on their max level stats. There’s a major difference between a base level weapon and a fully upgraded weapon. Needless to say, we also assumed that players wielding these weapons would have high enough Faith to get the most out of them. The Faith soft cap is 60 for skills and 80 for weapon scaling. As long as you’re within that range, you’ll be able to use these weapons to their full potential.
It goes without saying that Faith is the most important attribute for every weapon on this list. Depending on the weapon, this means that investing points into Faith provides the biggest damage boost, skill boost, or Incantation scaling. We excluded most split-scaling weapons, but there are a couple we just had to add to our list since they’re so iconic to Faith builds.
As you might expect, we didn’t skip Sacred Seals when compiling this list. Although they can be used as weapons, we ranked these based on how effective they are as catalysts, for obvious reasons.
S Tier
If you’re looking for the best Faith weapons in Elden Ring, you’ve got them right here. Each of these weapons is an absolute powerhouse that will demolish anything that gets in its way. Since a lot of Faith builds focus on Incantations, we went ahead and also added the best catalysts to this tier.
Weapon Name | Weapon Type | Weapon Skill |
---|---|---|
Blasphemous Blade | Greatsword | Taker's Flames Skill |
Spear of the Impaler | Great Spear | Messmer's Assault |
Godslayer's Greatsword | Colossal Sword | The Queen's Black Flame Skill |
Anvil Hammer | Colossal Weapon | Smithing Art Spears |
Black Knife | Dagger | Blade of Death Skill |
Erdtree Seal | Sacred Seal | None |
Golden Order Seal | Sacred Seal | None |
A Tier
A-Tier weapons are a bit weaker than their S-Tier counterparts in most situations, but they’re still a force to be reckoned with. Generally speaking, these armaments tend to excel in one or two areas, however, they’re not quite as well-rounded as the weapons found in the previous tier.
Weapon Name | Weapon Type | Weapon Skill |
---|---|---|
Maliketh's Black Blade | Colossal Sword | Destined Death Skill |
Shadow Sunflower Blossom | Colossal Weapon | Shadow Sunflower Headbutt |
Sacred Relic Sword | Greatsword | Wave of Gold Skill |
Envoy's Long Horn | Great Hammer | Bubble Shower Skill |
Black Steel Greathammer | Great Hammer | Endure Skill |
Envoy's Horn | Hammer | Oracular Bubble Skill |
Winged Scythe | Reaper | Angel's Wings Skill |
Blade of Calling | Dagger | Blade of Gold Skill |
Cipher Pata | Fist Weapon | Unblockable Blade Skill |
Magma Blade | Curved Sword | Magma Shower Skill |
Euporia | Twinblade | Euporia Vortex |
Death Knight's Twin Axes | Axe | Blinkbolt: Twinaxe |
Death Knight's Longhaft Axe | Greataxe | Blinkbolt: Long-hafted Axe |
Serpent Flail | Flail | Flare, O Serpent |
Prince of Death's Staff | Glintstone Staff | None |
B Tier
Here’s where you’ll find a lot of good, reliable weapons that can carry you through most of the game if you’re the type of person who wants a balanced playthrough. You probably won’t be able to dominate enemies with any of these weapons, but they won’t let you down either. At least, for the most part.
Weapon Name | Weapon Type | Weapon Skill |
---|---|---|
Golden Order Greatsword | Greatsword | Establish Order Skill |
Gargoyle's Blackblade | Greatsword | Corpse Wax Cutter Skill |
Inseparable Sword | Greatsword | Sacred Blade Skill |
Sword of Darkness | Straight Sword | Darkness |
Coded Sword | Straight Sword | Unblockable Blade Skill |
Horned Warrior's Greatsword | Curved Greatsword | Horn Calling: Storm |
Erdtree Greatbow | Greatbow | Through and Through Skill |
Halo Scythe | Reaper | Miquella's Ring of Light Skill |
Devourer's Scepter | Great Hammer | Devourer of Worlds Skill |
Treespear | Great Spear | Sacred Order Skill |
Grafted Dragon | Fist Weapon | Bear Witness! Skill |
Gravel Stone Seal | Sacred Seal | None |
Giant's Seal | Sacred Seal | None |
Barbed Staff-Spear | Great Spear | Jori's Inquisition |
Lightning Perfume Bottle | Perfume Bottle | Kick Skill |
C Tier
A lot of these weapons and Sacred Seals need a serious rework before they’ll be able to hold a candle to the armaments covered earlier. While not necessarily terrible, most of these weapons simply feel underwhelming and there’s little point in hanging onto them for too long.
Weapon Name | Weapon Type | Weapon Skill |
---|---|---|
Erdtree Bow | Bow | Mighty Shot Skill |
Envoy's Greathorn | Colossal Weapon | Great Oracular Bubble Skill |
Golden Epitaph | Straight Sword | Last Rites Skill |
Sword of Light | Straight Sword | Light |
Cranial Vessel Candlestand | Great Hammer | Surge of Faith Skill |
Eclipse Shotel | Curved Sword | Death Flare Skill |
Giant's Red Braid | Whip | Flame Dance Skill |
Finger Seal | Sacred Seal | None |
Godslayer's Seal | Sacred Seal | None |
Fire Knight's Seal | Sacred Seal | None |
Dryleaf Seal | Sacred Seal | None |
Sentry's Torch | Torch | Torch Attack Skill |
Nanaya's Torch | Torch | Feeble Lord's Frenzied Flame |
Madding Hand | Fist Weapon | Madding Spear-Hand Strike |
D Tier
If you’re using any of these weapons, I’m sorry to say that you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel. The armaments are objectively bad and you should do your best to stay away from them.
Weapon Name | Weapon Type | Weapon Skill |
---|---|---|
Staff of the Guilty | Glintstone Staff | None |
Inquisitor's Girandole | Spear | Charge Forth Skill |
St. Trina's Torch | Torch | Fires of Slumber Skill |
Magma Whip Candlestick | Whip | Sea of Magma Skill |
Frenzied Flame Seal | Sacred Seal | None |
Spiraltree Seal | Sacred Seal | None |
