Updated on August 3, 2026: A massive update adding and ranking everything up to the Solemn Lament expansion.
I’ll be rating all specs in Lineage Piece for the best weapons, melee/styles, accessories, races and other features. I’ll also show you how to find and get everything. Here’s my complete Lineage Piece tier list and guide.
Lineage Piece Weapon & Style Tier List
Lineage Piece Weapon & Style Rankings
This Lineage Piece tier list is based on both DPS and overall power, utility and usability. The S-Tiers deal the most damage, A-Tiers are great alternatives for farming and B-Tiers are weaker options overall. The C and D-Tiers are mainly starting options that don’t scale well in the end-game. Note that Fruits are decent early but weak overall in the mid-to-late game. I only use Light for mobility. Let’s dive into the individual ranking reasons below where I’ll also show you how to get each spec.
Best Race: If you’re using a Meta Weapon/Style simply choose the race that buffs that style for the best DPS. If you’re not using a Meta Spec, then the higher-rarity races might still have higher damage bonuses overall even compared to the special races of lower-tier weapons/styles (Check Trello for exact numbers).
Best Outfit: Pick the outfit matching your spec from Yhwach/Miyabi/Moon Kimono/Limitless/Sukuna/Sung (Alternatively, look for the best Strength or Weapon stat depending on your spec).
S-Tier Specs
| Specs | Ranking Reasons | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Excalibur Morgan | • Even without R, Excalibur Morgan with Supreme is the meta DPS spec dealing around 100 million damage on rotation • R pushes it past that so this is your top #1 Meta DPS Buffed by: |
Legend’s Arena Saber Alter NPC Requirements: Drops from Saber Alter boss at Ryuudo Cave Mastery NPC is at Legend’s Arena |
 Solemn Lament |
• A ton of range and the moves are fast delaing upwards of 90 million with Supreme • R deals crazy damage and is easily the best move DPS-wise Buffed by: |
Frostborn Island Solemn Lament NPC Requirements: Yi Sang Boss is at The Butterfly Grave |
 Yhwach |
• Still Meta after the latest update • With the buffs below and Abyssal/Azure you can reach just below 80 million DPS • Just an AOE spam of high damage moves Buffed by: |
Hueco Mundo Island Yhwach NPC Requirements : Drops from Yhwach boss and Wandenreich Raid via the Scatthen Key Mastery NPC is at Hueco Mundo |

B-Tier Specs
| Specs | Ranking Reasons | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
 RaidenWeapon |
• Competes with Aizen for the highest DPS spec for mid-game • Pole-arm is single-target focused and then you switch to sword mode for AOE bursts • Overall Shadow and Aizen are a bit smoother to use since Raiden requires switching modes which is a bit of animation bloat • The best spec to farm high-tier specs Buffed by: |
Frostborn Island Raiden Seller NPC Left of spawn • Requires Archon Race • Requires drops from the Raiden boss in her Plane of Euthymia Portal Raid • To enter the Raid, use the Shrine Key dropped from Snow Bandits at FrostBorn (Or exchange for it at Monument Isle Tower Exchange NPC at the bottom) Mastery |
 AizenMelee/Style |
• Competes with Raiden for the highest DPS spec in B-Tier • Has great AOE damage but also utility with the F damage boost • Really good for beginners to farm higher tiers Buffed by: |
Hueco Mundo Island Aizen NPC • Requires drops from the Aizen boss (Aizen Summon NPC – Defeat Hollows to summon) • Requires True Shinigami Race (Quest form True Shinigami NPC to kill 500 Hollows) Mastery |
 GilgameshMelee/Style |
• Lower damage than Aizen and Raiden but higher than Shadow • Just a bunch of really strong high AOE damage moves without any special utility and occasionally sluggish animations Buffed by: |
Legend’s Arena Gilgamesh NPC • Requires drops from Gilgamesh Boss • Spawn using Holy Grail from Gilgamesh Craft NPC • Exchange using Golden Dust (2.5% Drop from any mob) Mastery |
 ShadowWeapon |
• Lower DPS than the other B-Tiers but it’s much easier to use with smoother faster animations and better AOE moves
Buffed by: |
FrostBorn Island Shadow NPC at the top of the left mountainside from spawn • Requires you to get Stylish Bandit Slayer first from Cid NPC at Dawnwind Island (Find 2 Crowbars where 1 is in town beneath a tree and one in front of town and then take 5M damage) • You also need to kill 250 Bandits at starting island with it • Then the Shadow NPC at FrostBorn requires drops from the Shadow boss in the Cid’s Castle Raid, accessible by using Cid’s Key • Cid’s Key drops from Bandits at Dawnwind Island and Snow Bandits at Frostborn Island (Or exchange for it at Monument Isle Tower Exchange NPC at the bottom) • You’ll need to do Cid’s Castle Raid 5 times to be able to buy Shadow Mastery |
 RimuruMelee/Style |
• The weakest B-Tier along with Tensa Zangetsu going upwards of 8M damage • It’s a grind to get it and it’s decently worth it • That said I would maybe skip it and get Raiden/Aizen to farm high-tiers Buffed by: |
Fossil Island Rimuru NPC to the right of spawn on the stone “beach” • Requires Slime Race which you can get by using the Slime item dropped from Rimuru boss • Requires both drops from the Rimuru boss and items from the Slime Exchange NPC near spawn Mastery |
 Tensa ZangetsuWeapon |
• A decent alternative to Gojo/Sukuna if you want to go for a Sword build mid-to-late game • That said the moves are better for me in terms of smoothness so I rank TZ as the best legendary Buffed by: |
Hueco Mundo Tensa Zangetsu NPC • Get Zangetsu from base Ichigo NPC • Defeat Ichigo (Bankai) 10 times • Buy it using Hollow Mask which is a drop from Ichigo (Bankai) Mastery |
C-Tier Specs
| Specs | Ranking Reasons | How to Get |

 GojoMelee/Style |
• Slightly higher DPS than Sukuna but lower than Rimuru • Pick your favorite between Gojo and Sukuna Buffed by: |
Jujutsu Highschool Gojo NPC • Requires drops from the Gojo boss Mastery |
 SukunaMelee/Style |
• Sukuna is lower DPS than Gojo but I find it easier for farming • At the end of the day it’s not much of a difference so pick your favorite and move into Rimuru or higher tiers Buffed by: |
Jujutsu Highschool Sukuna NPC • Requires drops from the Sukuna boss Mastery |
 ExcaliburWeapon |
• Player’s Daggers and Excalibur are about equal in DPS and usability • Pick your favorite and use it to grind B-Tiers Buffed by: |
Legend’s Arena Saber NPC • Either exchange for it via the boss exchange • Or buy from Saber NPC using drops from Saber boss and Sword Technique Book from Saber Boss or Sung Jinwoo boss at Scorched Ruins • Buy Saber boss spawns at the Legend’s Arena boss summoner Mastery |
 Player’s DaggerWeapon |
• Player’s Daggers and Excalibur are about equal in DPS and usability • Pick your favorite and use it to grind B-Tiers Buffed by: |
