TIER LIST

Infernal Arms Tier List

Every Infernal Arm can clear the game and push high Heat with the right Aspect and boons — but some are far more forgiving. This ranks them for general use, with the Aspect that pushes each to the top.

The six weapons ranked

🔱 Varatha (Spear) — S
Aspect of Guan Yu's spin plus lifesteal is one of the safest, strongest setups in the game.
🏹 Coronacht (Bow) — S
Aspect of Rama marks and rains homing Power Shots; huge single-target and boss burst with Artemis.
⚔️ Stygius (Sword) — A
Aspect of Arthur is tanky and beginner-friendly at high Heat thanks to its aura and extra Defiance.
🔫 Exagryph (Rail) — A
Aspect of Lucifer's hellfire beam and Hestia's reload bursts melt rooms once you manage ammo.
🥊 Malphon (Fists) — B
Fast, high-DPS and mobile, but close-range risk makes it demand cleaner play at high Heat.
🛡️ Aegis (Shield) — B
Safe and defensive; Aspect of Zeus's Blitz disc and Beowulf's dash-strike give it real teeth.

Pick by playstyle

  • Want safety? Varatha (Guan Yu) or the Aegis shield block-and-rush.
  • Want ranged control? Coronacht (Rama) or Exagryph keep you out of danger.
  • Want aggression and speed? Malphon fists reward dodging into the fight.
  • Learning high Heat? Aspect of Arthur's aura and bonus Defiance carry newer players.
