Every Valheim Weapon, Compared
Valheim has 88 weapons across 10 skill trees — Axes, Swords, Spears, Polearms, Clubs, Knives, Bows, Crossbows, Unarmed, and Elemental Magic — spanning 8 biome tiers from Meadows stone tools to Ashlands legendary gear. This database has every weapon with full damage breakdown, knockback, backstab multiplier, parry force, block value, weight, and max upgrade level.
Damage in Valheim is a cocktail of types: physical (slash / blunt / pierce / chop / pickaxe) and elemental (fire / frost / lightning / poison / spirit). Each enemy family resists some and is weak to others — Skeletons take 2× blunt + 2× frost, Trolls take 2× fire, Seekers take 2× pierce + 2× lightning. Filter weapons by damage type to find the right tool for the biome you're working.
Top picks by skill: Swords — Mistwalker (50 slash + 20 frost, T5 Plains). Axes — Berzerkr (140 slash, T7 Ashlands — highest raw damage). Bows — Spinesnap (48 pierce, T6 Mistlands). Magic — Staff of the Wild (elemental, T6). For block/defense, Shield Carapace gives 90 block at tier 6. Crossbow Ripper hits 220 total damage (T7, highest in game) but has a 3-second reload.
Values are vanilla game constants (factual data — not copyrightable). If you host your own Valheim server on XGamingServer, damage values are tunable via BepInEx mods like ValheimPlus — base numbers shown here are the unmodded baseline.
Valheim Weapon Database — FAQ
What's the best weapon in Valheim?
Depends on skill tree: Berzerkr (Axes, 140 slash, T7) has the highest single-hit damage. Crossbow Ripper (T7) hits 220 damage per bolt but has a long reload. Mistwalker (Swords) is the community favorite for versatility (slash + frost elemental).
How do damage types work in Valheim?
Valheim has 10 damage types: slash, blunt, pierce, chop, pickaxe (physical) + fire, frost, lightning, poison, spirit (elemental). Each enemy has resistances and weaknesses — Skeletons die fast to blunt + frost, Trolls melt to fire, Seekers weak to pierce + lightning.
What's the highest-damage weapon in Valheim?
Crossbow Ripper at 220 total damage per bolt (T7 Ashlands), followed by Berzerkr axe at 220 total (140 slash + 80 elemental) and Mistwalker Slayer (THSword T7) at 170 damage. All require Ashlands-tier materials.
Which weapons can parry in Valheim?
Every one-handed weapon + shield combo can parry. Knives have the highest parry multiplier but lowest damage. Swords + shield is the most balanced. Atgeirs (polearms) have a wide AoE secondary that's better than parry for crowd control.
Can I customize weapon damage on my Valheim server?
Yes with BepInEx mods. XGamingServer's Valheim hosting supports BepInEx — mods like ValheimPlus or Epic Loot let you scale weapon damage, add new weapons, or rebalance the entire combat system.
