Jotnar Cleaver

Best Weapon For Ability Heavy Playstyle.

The Jotnar Cleaver, featured in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Dawn of Ragnarok DLC, is a standout two-handed axe. It excels in crowd control and tackling tough enemies, thanks to its synergy with abilities that depend on Adrenaline (the yellow bar above health). Its unique perk offers a 50% chance to replenish Adrenaline on a critical hit, with a 15-second cooldown, providing a reliable Adrenaline boost during fights.

AC Valhalla Dawn of Ragnarok Best Weapons — Jotnar Cleaver

Why I Chose This: A gem of a weapon for crowd control and taking on strong enemies.

To wield the Jotnar Cleaver effectively, pair it with abilities like Riposte to defeat tough foes efficiently.

Obtaining the Jotnar Cleaver is challenging. Collect the Jotun Mantle armor set, visit the marked portal location, defeat three bosses, and you’ll receive the Jotnar Cleaver as a reward. Equip the full Jotun Mantle armor set before entering the portal.

Attack	152.5
Speed	54
Stun	193
Critical Chance	123.5

Adrenaline refill perk and high damage output.
High stun capabilities.
Boost in crit chance.

Slow speed.
The cooldown on perk.

All-Father’s Guard

Best Defensive-Offensive Hybrid Weapon.

Now, while our AC Valhalla Ragnarok best weapons guide includes all the top weapons that you can find, it is important to mention something that can help you with defense as well. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla lets players use shields in combat, something they can use to protect themselves from incoming attacks.

Whether the attack is ranged or up close, these shields help you survive longer in combat. Thankfully, Ubisoft has introduced a new shield called the All-Father’s Guard through the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC.

Why I Chose This: The high defensive capabilities coupled with offensive perks.

The All-Father’s Guard in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a shield steeped in history, and treasured by the Valkyries. It provides substantial protection and boasts a unique perk: increased ability damage upon parrying, lasting for 10 seconds. This feature enhances combat effectiveness, especially during aggressive engagements with enemies.

To get your hands on the All-Father’s Guard shield, you will need to buy it for 2800 Arena tokens.

Attack	121
Speed	55
Stun	175
Critical Chance	98

Increases ability damage for 10 secs after parrying.
Great protection and high stun capabilities.
Good speed.

Costly to acquire.

Fiery Warsong

Best Crowd Control Weapon.

The Fiery Warsong is a potent two-handed weapon in AC Valhalla. As an Atgeir, it inflicts substantial damage and stun damage with each hit. What sets it apart is its fire damage capability. When surrounded by three or more enemies, it ignites, causing continuous damage to foes over time.

Why I Chose This: The way this weapon is able to deal with a plethora of enemies at once.

The Fiery Warsong’s fire capability is particularly effective against groups of enemies, but it extinguishes when facing fewer than three foes. However, it’s less effective against Muspel enemies, who are immune to fire damage.

To acquire the Fiery Warsong, defeat the formidable Simara’s Chosen, three powerful enemies scattered across the map. Collect the weapon pieces dropped by these enemies and craft the weapon at any blacksmith.

Attack	160
Speed	49
Stun	180.5
Critical Chance	140

High damage output.
High stun capabilities.
It can deal with fire damage and provides a boost in crit chance.

Less effectiveness against Muspel enemies.
Slower speed.

Thorgrim’s Dying Breath

Best Weapon For One-On-One Combat Scenarios.

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok, facing new formidable enemies demands strategic combat approaches. Thorgrim’s Dying Breath, a heavy weapon, stands out with its distinctive perk. Delivering a Heavy Critical Hit with this weapon knocks down enemies, enabling a powerful follow-up Stomp attack. This dual move proves effective against both strong adversaries and weaker foes.

Why I Chose This: The unique perk allows for dealing heavy damage to enemies which results in turning the tides of the battle.

While it isn’t something that can be extremely useful against a group of enemies like the Fiery Warson, it’s an ideal weapon when facing a tough opponent, such as one of Sinmara’s Chosen. You can also pair this weapon with some Armor sets that grant benefits with critical strikes so that you get the most out of it.

To obtain Thorgrim’s Dying Breath in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, head to Gaseous, located at the center of Oswaldo. Dive underwater to access two buildings. In the west building, retrieve the key, then unlock a chest in the east building. Dive into the basement through a hole, and underwater, locate the chest containing the weapon.

Attack	155
Speed	54
Stun	178
Critical Chance	140

Higher crit chance.
Great damage output and stun.
Has a unique perk that knocks down enemies.

Slow speed.
Not great at crowd control situations.

Fenrir’s Incisor

Best Weapon For Aggressive Playstyle.

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, daggers provide a fast-paced and aggressive combat style. Fenrir’s Incisor, introduced in the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC, emerges as a top-tier weapon.

Its distinctive perk significantly lowers stamina usage for special attacks, reducing overall stamina costs by 20%. This feature caters to players fond of frequent special moves, enabling sustained, potent strikes and swift enemy takedowns.

Why I Chose This: The unmatched speed this weapon provides on top of the high effectiveness against forst enemies.

This will also work pretty well against the Forst enemies that you’ll encounter in Dawn of Ragnarok as they are weak against fire. If you have a speed-based attack build, then you should definitely add the Fenrir’s Incisor to your arsenal.

To acquire Fenrir’s Incisor in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok, journey to Gimsteinhus, a frost-covered village in the southwest corner of the map.

Upon arrival, locate the large stone building and claim the Power of Jotunheim from its front. Adjacent to this building, find a Shrine. Afterward, utilize the Power of Jotunheim to reach a teleport target nearby. Proceed inside the building and employ the Power of Jotunheim once more on another teleport target.

Descend to the lower level by breaking the ice floor. Proceed to breach an ice wall, granting access to the chest containing Fenrir’s Incisor.

Attack	128.5
Speed	78
Stun	164.5
Critical Chance	134

High speed.
Reduces stamina consumption.
High Crit Chance.
High effectiveness against forst enemies.

Low attack output.
Requires precision.

Aesir Eye

Best Weapon For Ranged Combat.

The Aesir Eye is a formidable Hunter Bow in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, ideal for players seeking to maintain a steady Adrenaline supply. Its ranged capabilities enable efficient target elimination from a distance, eliminating the need for close-quarters combat.

Why I Chose This: The superiority this weapon provides in ranged combat and prolonged ability usage due to the adrenaline increase perk.

The standout feature of the Aesir Eye is its perk, which grants Adrenaline upon executing a fully charged headshot, whether with regular shots or abilities. This ensures a steady supply of Adrenaline, allowing for sustained powerful attacks on enemies without depletion concerns.

For instance, you can use the new Knockback Arrow with the Aesir Eye, which shoots a lightning arrow that knocks the enemy onto the ground. And when upgraded, the same arrow also stuns the enemies that are around your target. Thanks to the perk attached to the bow, you can keep on using these arrows, as long as you are successfully landing headshots.

Just like the All-Father’s Guard, the Aesir Eye can also be purchased from the Arena for 2800 Arena tokens.
