Choosing the right sword in Sailor Piece changes how fast you farm, clear mobs, and defeat bosses. Some swords deal huge burst damage, while others are better for grinding with wide AoE skills.
This tier list ranks swords based on damage output, AoE coverage, cooldown speed, and usefulness in PvE content. Endgame performance and farming efficiency also play a big role.
S Tier – Best Swords
S+ Tier:
Atomic, Shadow Monarch
S Tier:
Abyssal Empress, True Aizen, Yamato, Escanor, Rimuru, Shadow
Atomic and Shadow Monarch currently offer the strongest overall damage. They require heavy grinding and special requirements, but their power easily justifies the effort.
Abyssal Empress is one of the best late-game options and easier to obtain compared to most S-tier swords. Players farming the tower should read How to Get Abyss Sigil in Sailor Piece since it helps unlock key tower rewards.
A Tier – Strong Mid-Game Options
Ichigo, Aizen, Ragna
These swords perform well during mid to late progression. They provide solid damage and useful skills but fall behind top tier weapons in raw power.
Ichigo is a popular mid-game choice because of its fast skills and reliable damage. Aizen also performs well once you build mastery and unlock its full potential.
B Tier – Decent but Outclassed
Jinwoo, Saber
These swords work fine while progressing but become weaker compared to higher-tier options.
Jinwoo is usable for mid-game grinding but has lower DPS than most mythical swords. Saber is easy to obtain and helpful early, but players usually replace it quickly.
C Tier – Early Game Weapons
Gryphon, Dark Blade, Katana
These weapons are mainly used during the early stages of the game. They help new players progress but should be replaced as soon as stronger swords become available.
Katana is the basic starter weapon. Gryphon and Dark Blade provide slight upgrades but still lack the power needed for later content.

Best Sword to Use Right Now
If you want the strongest weapon overall, aim for:
Atomic – Highest damage in the game
Shadow Monarch – Extremely strong burst skills
Abyssal Empress – Best balance of power and accessibility
For newer players, progressing through Ichigo → Aizen → Abyssal Empress is one of the smoothest upgrade paths.
