Best Naraka Bladepoint Weapons Comparison

First and foremost, we advise you to check out each weapon in comparison in the table below:

Best Melee Weapons

The game is filled with various weapons, both ranged and melee. Therefore, we will be splitting the weapons according to their range. This section will cover the best melee weapons in Naraka Bladepoint. 

Currently, there are seven melee weapons in the game, with some being way better than others. It is worth noting that your own playstyle will also determine which might be the best weapon for you, but these weapons will be discussed according to what works for most players. 

Longsword 

The Longsword, one of the best melee weapons in Naraka Bladepoint, offers a well-rounded, beginner-friendly choice. Its combo potential makes it lethal for experienced players, as with its long reach, the Longsword provides an advantage over close-range weapons like daggers. Forward-lunge attacks allow close combat and combos.

The Longsword’s focus attacks generate shockwaves for mid-range engagements, effective against unsuspecting opponents, although they can be parried.

Spear

The Spear excels at long-range combat with its impressive reach. Despite a previous nerf, it remains one of Naraka Bladepoint’s strongest and most unpredictable melee weapons.

The Spear boasts the powerful Dragonslayer combo, a series of whirling spear attacks that are hard to dodge. Its unique flow in normal and focused attacks catches opponents off-guard.

The Spear has great tracking, increasing your chances of hitting nearby enemies. Avoid spamming light attacks to prevent punishment, and vary your attacks for better results.

Dagger

The dagger, a complex but agile weapon, offers movement-based combos and special features. You can execute fast-paced combos with the dagger, easily maneuvering around your opponent. Quick combos are often faster than the unique Dagger Dash combo.

Use horizontal or vertical attacks to close the distance, but beware of being parried. Despite its low per-hit damage, the dagger’s exceptional speed compensates for it.

Nunchucks

Nunchucks are perhaps the most complicated weapon of Naraka Bladepoint. However, if you’re able to master it, the rewards are equally worth the complication of learning it.

The combos of the nunchuck deal a lot of damage and even have a high chance of stun-locking your enemies, whether in mid-air or on the ground. An additional feature of the nunchuck is that it can also attack downed enemies. 

But what makes the Nunchucks confusing is the meter. The meter is something that only the nunchucks have. If you parry attacks or take damage, your meter will fill up or get one charge. Using focus attacks requires you to have at least a one-meter charge.

Katana

If you like using the Longsword but wish it would be faster, then the Katana is the weapon for you. However, you’ll give up your range and damage output in exchange for speed. The focus attacks are great for slicing through the air and dealing damage. But they can also be parried, so be careful and don’t overdo them. 

Due to all these limitations, the Katana might not be considered the best one-to-one fight weapon. But if you’re using a character that relies on stealth or land hits and runs away using the grapple hook ambush attacks, then the Katana can work for you. 

If you want to improve the weapon, you can use the Katana-specific Souljades. Unfortunately, even after those upgrades, you’ll only bring it on par with some of the base versions of the other weapons. 

Greatsword

The Greatsword is considered one of the lower-ranked weapons when discussing the best weapons in Naraka Bladepoint. You’ll essentially be trading power for speed. You’ll definitely be able to deal a lot of damage as the Greatsword is the highest damage-dealing melee weapon. But that is only if you can land hits in the first place.

The combos of the Greatsword are shorter and cover less ground as well. Due to the delay of the Greatsword, you’ll often find it hard to catch your enemy and take more damage due to their own combos and speed. 

Bloodripper

In theory, the Bloodripper is meant to be an amazing weapon. It is really powerful and takes only a few hits to defeat an enemy. Unfortunately, it’s too slow, with its focus attacks taking extremely long times to charge up. 

That’s why we’d recommend that you only go for this if you don’t have any other options or simply like playing with it. 

Best Ranged Weapons 

Moving on to the next category, we have weapons you can use from afar. Currently, there are 7 ranged weapons, and all provide different playstyles. 

Ideally, you want to use the ranged weapons to chip off your enemy’s health before the real battle. You can stay out of their sights before landing devastating combos up close once your enemy is off-balance. 

Bow

The Bow is considered the best-ranged weapon in Naraka Bladepoint due to its charged shots. 

These charged shots are considered the highest damage-dealing ranged attacks next to the Musket’s shots. But the better rate of fire makes the Bow stand out from the Musket. But even with a higher fire rate, the Bow is still slower when attacking. Additionally, the low ammo capacity and relatively weaker normal shots can be a turn-off for some players. The Bow is the perfect choice if you’re playing with a stealth character. 

Musket 

The Musket is quite similar to the Bow, and you can consider it like a bolt-action sniper rifle or a heavy bow. It shoots strong single shots with the charged shots, and a larger magazine/ammo capacity is its advantage. 

When you’re using ranged weapons, you mostly should be at a distance and hiding as you use them. Doing so with the Musket will allow you to safely charge and release a shot to damage your enemy before the main encounter significantly. 

The Musket also lets you zoom in to land shots more accurately. The only drawback is that after a few hits, you must charge the weapon, and the bullets travel slowly. But if you can get used to those mechanics, you’ll have a great time using the Musket. 

Repeating Crossbow

If you’re frustrated with the Bow and Musket’s slow rate of fire, then perhaps the Repeating Crossbow might be the best weapon for you. It has a fast rate of fire, meaning you can defeat enemies quickly. 

However, the Repeating Crossbow requires you to aim carefully as it covers a small area and takes a few seconds to reposition. That makes it highly situational. The best use case of the weapon is if you’re observing two players fighting each other. You can take both sides out before being spotted. 

But if a player is aware of your presence, then landing shots would be hard as they can dodge easily. That’s why if you’re cornered and need to land a shot quickly, the Crossbow is not the weapon for that situation.  

Pistol

The next weapon on our best Naraka Bladepoint weapons list is the Pistol. It’s mostly effective in close combat, almost to the point where you’d be in the melee range. 

The short reload times allow the weapon to be easily used for close combat. However, the lack of combos and options to counter makes you wonder if you should really use the Pistol or stick to a melee weapon. 

But if you’re in a bit of a pickle, then the Pistol can be quite handy as long as you land your shots. 

Swarm

The Swarm is a ranged weapon that you can use at a distance and also up close. It is essentially like a rocket launcher that fires a jar of poisonous bees in your direction. 

It is usually not advised to use the weapon at a close range due to the charge time. But if you can land shots, you can deal great damage in a broad area. As with the other weapons, you want to use the Swarm while hiding away from your enemy. 

Flamebringer

Unfortunately, the Flamebringer’s damage is lower than some of the other ranged weapons, and we only include this weapon due to the broad area of effect and no charge times. 

Additionally, it can be hard to counter if you actually get stuck in flames, but your enemy would have to be in there for a while for you to deal significant damage.

The broad AoE means that you can damage multiple enemies at once. Its major use would be when you’re playing in squads, and your other teammates can handle enemies while you come in with the Flamebringer. Therefore, we can say that the Flamebringer is the best-ranged weapon in Naraka Bladepoint for squads. 

Cannon

The Cannon is great at dealing splash damage to whatever lands in its path. However, it can be hard to get a hit unless the enemy does not expect the attack. 

But if a player does spot you with it, the delay of the weapon will be no match to double jumping, grapple hooking, or any other dodging techniques. That is why the Cannon is something you should only use when you don’t have any other options. 

With that, you know everything about the best weapons in Naraka Bladepoint. There are definitely some weapons that are far superior to others, but in the end, it all depends on your playstyle!
