Weapons are the most tangible power spike in Devil Hunter. This weapon tier list separates martial arts, heavy, katana, and firearm categories into S through C tiers with notes on bleed, stun, and raid AoE value. Detailed crafting paths live on the weapons item page.

Crafting Priority
New players should craft the highest tier weapon their materials allow rather than saving for perfect S-tier — jumping from C-tier starter to B-tier broad axe clears missions faster, funding later S-tier crafts. Follow yen routes in how to progress.
