Valheim Weapon Damage Calculator

Valheim Weapon Damage Calculator

Calculate effective per-hit damage for any of 88 Valheim weapons across all 12 skill trees. Adjust your weapon skill (0–100), upgrade level (1–4), choose your target, and toggle backstab — the calculator applies the canonical Valheim formulas:

skillMultiplier  = 0.5 + skill / 200
upgradeBonus     = 1 + (level - 1) × 0.04 × weaponTier
targetMultiplier = depends on damage type vs target weakness
finalDamage      = baseDamage × skillMult × upgradeBonus × targetMult × backstab
