Best Weapons by DPS

Core Keeper best weapons ranked by DPS — melee, ranged, magic, and summoning. Updated tier list with max-level damage stats and top picks for each weapon type.

Top 20 Weapons by DPS

Every weapon with a DPS value, ranked by its maximum-level DPS. Values are datamined from game files and reflect base damage before skill bonuses, conditions, or equipment effects.

Best Melee Weapons

Best Ranged Weapons

Best Magic Weapons

Best Summoning Weapons

Summoning tomes deal damage through their summons, and the game data gives them no DPS value, so they are listed by level, not ranked by DPS.

Notes

  • DPS shown is the base value at maximum reinforcement level. Actual damage depends on skills, equipment effects, and enemy resistances.
  • Use the weapon compare tool to see side-by-side stats at any level.
  • Weapons with status effects (poison, slow, lifesteal) can outperform higher-DPS weapons in practice.
