Sailor Piece Best Swords Tier List

In Sailor Piece, your sword is the single biggest power spike you will ever get. It is not a minor stat boost or a cosmetic choice — the right blade is the difference between a grueling two-minute boss fight and a clean ten-second one. It decides whether you can skip entire islands of grinding, whether you survive Sea 2, and whether you win or lose in PvP. This is the most complete sword tier list on the internet: every one of the 22 swords ranked from the S-tier endgame titans down to the D-tier starter blades, fully updated for the current Ghoul Update meta. Whatever your level, by the time you finish reading you will know exactly which sword to chase next, how to unlock it, and how to avoid the costly mistakes that trap most players.

1Why Your Sword Defines Your Account

Sailor Piece is, at its core, a damage race. Every island, every boss and every gamemode is gated behind how fast you can delete health bars. Your sword is the largest single contributor to that number. A player with a maxed Mythical sword and a mediocre everything-else will still out-clear a player with a perfect build and a weak blade — that is how much the weapon slot matters.

There is also a hidden reason swords matter so much: movesets. Each sword has its own set of abilities mapped to the Z, X, C, V and F keys, and those abilities determine whether you excel at single-target boss damage or at clearing dense crowds. Two swords with identical damage numbers can perform completely differently depending on whether their moveset is built for burst or for area coverage. This tier list weighs both raw numbers and moveset quality.

2How We Rank Swords

Every sword on this list is scored on three pillars. The first is raw damage output — the simple ceiling of how hard it hits when fully invested. The second is moveset versatility — how well its abilities handle bosses, crowds, mobility and PvP. The third is obtainability — how realistic the sword is to get at the stage of the game where you would actually want it. A sword that is theoretically strong but locked behind an absurd grind is ranked lower than a slightly weaker blade you can realistically equip.

The tiers themselves are simple. S-tier is best-in-slot — worth restructuring your entire build around. A-tier swords are excellent and will carry you for dozens of hours of progression. B and C tiers are honest stepping stones that bridge the gap between milestones. D-tier blades are pure starter gear that you replace as fast as humanly possible. We re-test every ranking after each game update, because Sailor Piece balance shifts often and a buff or nerf can move a sword a full tier overnight.

3S-Tier — The Endgame Titans

S-tier is owned entirely by the Mythical swords, and there is a clear king: Atomic. Crafted using the Shadow sword as a base, Atomic delivers enormous area-of-effect bursts that delete whole packs of enemies and clear bosses faster than anything else in the game. It is the closest thing Sailor Piece has to a do-everything weapon — equally comfortable farming mobs, melting bosses and dominating gamemodes.

Sharing the S-tier throne are Yamato and Sun God. Both specialise in sustained single-target damage, which makes them the premier picks for long boss fights, raids and World Boss encounters where one massive health bar is all that stands between you and the loot. If your endgame is boss-focused, either of these can edge out Atomic for pure damage-per-second on a single target. All three of these blades demand a matching race, a title earned from a specific boss, and stacks of crafting materials — they are a project, not a purchase.

4A-Tier — The Mid-Game Workhorses

A-tier is where most of your actual playtime happens. Swords like Shadow, Slime and Excalibur are not endgame titans, but they are powerful, reliable and far easier to obtain — they carry you cleanly through the entire mid-game and stay viable deep into Sea 2. Shadow deserves special attention: it is a genuinely strong A-tier blade in its own right, and it also doubles as a required crafting material for Atomic, so the grind for Shadow is never a side quest — it is the first half of your endgame.

The B and C tiers below A are honest stepping stones. They will not win you any races, but they reliably out-damage whatever you are currently holding during the early-to-mid transition, and that steady upgrade keeps your progression smooth. Never feel bad about briefly using a B-tier sword — staying on a D-tier blade three islands too long is the real mistake.

5The Complete Sword List

6The Best Swords for Beginners

If you just started Sailor Piece, ignore the Mythical hype for now — chasing an endgame sword at level 200 only leads to frustration. Your early path is simple and proven. The instant you spawn, grind the Thief enemies on Starter Island until you can afford the Katana for 2,500 Coins. The Katana roughly doubles your clear speed and is your first real milestone.

From the Katana, your next target is Gryphon. The entire community agrees Gryphon is the best beginner sword in Sailor Piece — it is cheap, easy to reach, and strong enough to carry you all the way to Shibuya Station without struggling. By the time Gryphon starts to feel weak, your race, clan and stat buffs will have grown enough that you can begin the real climb toward A-tier and beyond.

7Bosses vs Crowds — Pick the Right Moveset

Once you reach the endgame, the question is no longer just which sword is strongest, but which sword fits what you do most. If you spend your time farming bosses for titles and materials, prioritise a sword with concentrated single-target burst — Yamato and Sun God shine here, packing their damage into focused hits that chew through a single huge health bar.

If instead you spend your time grinding mobs for XP and currency, or pushing wave-based modes like Crystal Defense and the Infinite Tower, an area-of-effect sword is far better. Atomic is the textbook pick — its wide bursts tag entire packs at once, multiplying your effective damage by the number of enemies on screen. Many endgame players keep both a burst sword and an AoE sword and swap depending on the task.

8How to Unlock Endgame Swords

1. 1

   Start with Katana, then Gryphon

   Buy the Katana for 2,500 Coins, grind to afford Gryphon — your reliable carry sword for the early islands.

2. 2

   Roll the Shadowborn race

   Shadow needs the Shadowborn race. Roll for it before you start gathering crafting materials.

3. 3

   Craft Shadow

   Shadow carries the mid-game and is a required material for Atomic — this grind counts twice.

4. 4

   Farm the boss for title + materials

   Each Mythical sword needs a title. Target the boss that drops both the title and the materials together.

5. 5

   Craft your endgame sword

   With the title, race and materials ready, craft Atomic, Yamato or Sun God at the seller NPC.

9Sword + Race Synergy

This is the detail that separates good players from great ones. Every weapon type has a race that grants a bonus damage multiplier when the two are matched. For swords, Swordblessed is the universal pick — it boosts all sword damage and even unlocks the Yamato sword directly. Equipping a melee race while holding a sword throws away a free 20%-plus damage multiplier, and a shocking number of players never realise they are doing it.

Beyond the race, layer your clan, bloodline, trait and accessory to all favour sword or general damage. Because these multipliers stack multiplicatively, a fully sword-aligned build does not just add up — it compounds, and that is how endgame players reach the point of one-shotting bosses that used to take minutes.

10Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping Shadow on the way to Atomic — you need it as a crafting material, so the grind is never wasted.
• Using a sword without its matching race — you throw away a free 20%+ damage multiplier.
• Spending Robux on a sword you could craft for free with a bit of boss farming.
• Staying on a starter sword three islands too long — the XP and currency loss is enormous.
• Panic-buying a mid-tier sword right before an endgame craft instead of saving for the craft.
