While your starting weapon choice doesn’t matter because you can get all weapons later, your mid to late-game weapon choice does. Weapons are not made equal in this game despite people thinking so and some are better than others in terms of passive and active skills. Here’s my best NINJA weapons tier list.

All NINJA Weapons Ranked
I’ll be rating weapons based on both specific weapons and their weapon categories. The rankings take into account passive abilities like attack speed and hyper armor, as well as active weapon skills and criticals. No weapon is trash in NINJA so the categories are S-Tier to B-Tier. S-Tier weapons have the best passive and active abilities, A-Tier weapons have either great passive or great active abilities, and B-Tier weapons need a lot of skill and practice to be effective.
S-Tier NINJA Weapons
- Sai/Dagger/Light Weapons: The Sai and other Daggers are incredibly hard to play against when you get Killer Intent. It’s just a split-second teleport behind your opponent that you have to parry by feel and sound which is incredibly hard. You’ll be dominating beginners, NPCs, and bosses, and even experienced players will have a hard time parrying you. It’s also got the best critical attack in the game and the fastest M1s.
- Odachi/Greatsword/Heavy Weapons: You might see a lot of players saying Odachi is bad because it’s slow but it’s actually incredible for two reasons. The first is that it gets hyper armor on the first attack and it’s critical attack that cannot be interrupted. The second is that most players are so used to parrying faster weapons that the slower attack speed with Odachi will often confuse their parry timing. The skills are okay but the real strength of Odachi comes from mind games to control out your opponent and hyper armor through their attacks.
A-Tier NINJA Weapons
- Bo Staff/Polearm Weapons: The staff and polearms are similar to Odachi with slower M1s and decent skills, but the power similarly comes from the hyper armor and reach. It’s just an excellent weapon for both PVP and PVE because of its incredibly powerful critical.
- Ninjato & Tachi/Sword/Medium Weapons: Medium swords are just the jack of all trades in the game with excellent damage, speed, reach, and great skills that are better than Odachi and Staff. The reason it’s not S-Tier is that it doesn’t have the hyper armor of the Odachi and the God-Tier skills of the Daggers but it’s still a great choice.
B-Tier NINJA Weapons
- Fist/Weaponless: The Fist weapons have a lot of potential in the end-game cause they have some of the best and highest damage skills in the game, but they’re quite hard to use early to mid-game due to low reach. There’s a lot of skill in terms of timing, parries, and dodging that you have to go through and practice which isn’t the case for other weapons. Still, if you can master Fists or Claws and learn how to play against each weapon, they can be an S-Tier weapon for you. Claws get so much mobility that you’ll be an unparriable blur.
