Understanding the Lineage Piece Fruit Tier List
The Lineage Piece fruit tier list categorizes every weapon and spec in the game based on their overall Damage Per Second (DPS), versatility, and synergy with artifact sets. Whether you are a new player working through early quests or a veteran aiming to min-max your build, understanding these rankings is crucial for efficient progression.

The current meta heavily favors weapons that scale well with the Supreme artifact set. While some specs have incredible Visual Effects (VFX), their actual damage output may fall short compared to less flashy but statistically superior options.
Do not feel pressured to only use S-Tier weapons. Many mid-tier options perform exceptionally well in the right hands. Use this list as a guideline for resource allocation and artifact pairing.
S-Tier: The Absolute Meta Picks
The S-Tier category represents the strongest weapons and specs currently available in Lineage Piece. These options provide the highest DPS ceilings and are highly recommended for players tackling the toughest end-game content.
Saber Alter
- Highest DPS potential: Up to 115 million with R move
- Best paired with Supreme set
- Surprisingly weak VFX compared to peers
- Top pick for pure min-maxing
Solemn Lament
- 94 million DPS with Supreme set
- R move can consistently hit over 1 billion
- Newly added in the Solemn Lament update
- Supreme set synergy is unmatched
Firefly
- 81 million DPS per cycle
- Peak VFX quality
- Works well with Abyssal or Supreme sets
- V move less effective for pure DPS
Yhwach
- Solid 77 million DPS
- Best with Abyssal or Azure sets
- Consistent melee damage dealer
- Avoid using Supreme set with this spec
Using the wrong artifact set can drastically reduce your damage. For example, Solemn Lament drops from 94 million to 75 million DPS if you use Azure instead of Supreme. Always verify your loadout before boss fights.
A-Tier and B-Tier Rankings
While S-Tier weapons are the ultimate goal, A-Tier and B-Tier options are highly viable and more accessible for mid-game progression. These weapons offer solid performance and can carry you through most challenges until you acquire meta gear.
A-Tier Weapons and Specs
These picks are incredibly strong and only slightly lag behind the meta in terms of raw DPS.
| Weapon/Spec | Approximate Tier Position | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kokushibo | Top of A-Tier | Strong melee contender |
| Jinwoo V2 | High A-Tier | Excellent shadow abilities |
| Shadow Daggers | Mid A-Tier | Fast attack speed |
| Miyabi | Mid A-Tier | Solid all-rounder |
| Shinjuku Sukuna | Low A-Tier | Great crowd control |
| Shinjuku Gojo | Low A-Tier | Reliable ranged damage |
B-Tier Weapons and Specs
These are your stepping stones to the end-game. They perform well but lack the scaling needed for the hardest content.
| Weapon/Spec | Approximate Tier Position | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Raiden | Top of B-Tier | Good burst damage |
| Gilgamesh | Mid B-Tier | Versatile moveset |
| Aizen | Mid B-Tier | Strong utility |
| Shadow | Low B-Tier | Decent early pick |
| Rimuru | Low B-Tier | Good for farming |
| Tensa Zangetsu | Low B-Tier | Solid katana option |
If you are using B-Tier weapons, focus on farming resources rather than heavily upgrading artifacts. Save your best materials for when you obtain an S-Tier or high A-Tier weapon.
Artifact Synergies and DPS Optimization
Maximizing your weapon's potential in Lineage Piece requires pairing it with the correct artifact set. The difference between using the right and wrong set can mean tens of millions in lost DPS.
Artifact Set Breakdown
| Artifact Set | Best For | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Supreme | Solemn Lament, Saber Alter, Firefly | Maximizes skill damage and R move scaling |
| Abyssal | Yhwach, melee-focused specs | Extra buff to melee attacks |
| Azure | General purpose, Saber Alter (alt) | Balanced damage increase |
Identify Your Weapon's Damage Type
Check if your weapon relies on melee strikes, skill cycles, or charged R moves. For example, Yhwach is melee-focused, making Abyssal ideal.
Select the Matching Artifact Set
Pair melee weapons with Abyssal, and skill-heavy weapons with Supreme. Use Azure as a safe fallback for balanced stats.
Test Your DPS Cycle
Enter a training area or boss fight and execute your full combo. Track your damage numbers to verify the artifact set is performing as expected.
Optimize Your Move Rotation
Some moves, like Firefly's V move, are not optimal for pure DPS. Focus on your highest-damage abilities and build your rotation around them.
The Supreme set is the undisputed best choice for the current meta. For Saber Alter, switching from Azure to Supreme pushes your DPS from 99 million to 107 million without the R move, and up to 115 million with it.
Early Game Weapons to Avoid Investing In
When starting your journey, you will encounter several weapons that are serviceable for early quests but quickly fall off in viability. To save resources, identify these weapons early and avoid over-investing in their upgrades.
Low Tier Weapons (C and D Tier)
| Weapon | Tier | Reason to Skip |
|---|---|---|
| Gojo V1 | Top of C-Tier | Outclassed by Shinjuku Gojo |
| Sukuna V1 | C-Tier | Weak compared to Shinjuku Sukuna |
| Player Daggers | C-Tier | Low scaling potential |
| Excalibur | C-Tier | Mediocre damage output |
| Verdant Hero | D-Tier | Beginner trap |
| Zangetsu | D-Tier | Replace with Tensa Zangetsu ASAP |
| Yoru | D-Tier | Low overall DPS |
| Gryphon | D-Tier | Outclassed by nearly everything |
| Combat | F-Tier | Worst weapon in the game |
| Katana | F-Tier | No redeeming qualities |
| Dual Katana | F-Tier | Strictly worse than Katana |
| Stylish Bandit Slayer | F-Tier | Bottom of the barrel |
Do not spend rare upgrade materials on F-Tier or D-Tier weapons. These resources are extremely scarce in the end-game, and you will need them for S-Tier and A-Tier upgrades.
Progression Goals:
- Replace starter weapon (Combat/Katana) with at least a B-Tier option
- Acquire one A-Tier weapon or spec for mid-game content
- Farm a full Supreme artifact set for end-game preparation
- Obtain an S-Tier weapon (Saber Alter, Solemn Lament, or Firefly)
- Reach at least 75 million DPS on a training dummy
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best weapon in the Lineage Piece fruit tier list?
Saber Alter is currently the strongest weapon in terms of raw DPS. When paired with the Supreme artifact set and utilizing the R move, it can reach approximately 115 million DPS, making it the top pick for min-maxing.
Q: Is the Supreme artifact set always the best choice?
No. While Supreme is excellent for skill-based weapons like Solemn Lament and Saber Alter, melee-focused specs like Yhwach perform better with the Abyssal set due to its melee damage buffs. Always match your artifact set to your weapon's damage type.
Q: Should I use Firefly's V move for maximum damage?
If you are aiming for pure DPS, Firefly's V move is not recommended. The highest damage cycle comes from using your other abilities. However, the V and F moves do scale significantly better with the Supreme set if you choose to use them.
Q: Are F-Tier weapons completely useless?
F-Tier weapons like Combat, Katana, and Dual Katana are serviceable for the very first stages of the game when you have no other options. However, you should replace them immediately once you acquire anything from a higher tier.
The Lineage Piece meta evolves with every update. New weapons like Solemn Lament can instantly shift the tier list. Check back regularly for the latest rankings and artifact recommendations.
