Best Hollow Weapons in VV: Ultimatum (Tier List)

The Greatsword leads the Hollow arsenal, with stat-focused picks for damage, range, and speed builds.

The Greatsword leads the Hollow arsenal, with stat-focused picks for damage, range, and speed builds.

The Hollow race in VV: Ultimatum has its own set of seven weapons, and each one splits its power differently across Damage (DMG), Range (RNG), and Speed (SPD). Picking the right one comes down to which stat your build leans into and how much you are willing to sacrifice elsewhere. Below is where every Hollow weapon currently stands and how to reroll for the one you want.

Quick answer: The Greatsword is the top Hollow weapon. It trades Speed for very high Damage and added Range, making it the strongest pick for most builds. Reroll toward it using an Experimental Hogyoku Shard.


Hollow weapons tier list

The seven Hollow weapons fall into clear performance bands based on how cleanly they distribute their stats. No weapon currently sits in D-Tier.

TierWeaponStat profile
SGreatswordVery high DMG and added RNG, low SPD. Powers through fights.
AHammerSolid DMG with average RNG and SPD.
AGreat AxeHigh DMG, solid RNG, lower SPD.
BKatanaBalanced across DMG, RNG, and SPD with no bias.
BLanceExceptionally high RNG, moderate DMG and SPD.
CMinigunHigh SPD and RNG, below-average DMG. Long-range only.
CSpearPools stats into RNG and SPD, sacrifices a lot of DMG.

Why the Greatsword is the best pick

The Greatsword sits at the top because it gives up the least for what it gains. It drops Speed but loads up on overwhelming Damage and gets a Range boost on top, which lets it brute-force through most encounters. If your build can absorb the slower attack speed, it is the highest-output option in the Hollow arsenal.

The Hammer and Great Axe are the strongest alternatives when the Greatsword does not fit your playstyle. Both deliver heavy Damage with reasonable Range while giving up some Speed, and they essentially swap in for each other depending on which one you roll.


Match the weapon to your build

The best weapon is the one that reinforces what your Hollow already does. Tankier builds gain the most from heavy hitters like the Greatsword, Hammer, or Great Axe, since they can afford to trade Speed or Range for raw Damage. Speed-focused builds are better served by faster, lower-Damage options.

The Katana is the easiest weapon to use because it keeps its stats balanced with no bias, so any Hollow can adapt to it quickly. The Lance pushes heavily into Range for charging enemies from a distance. The Minigun and Spear are niche, glass-cannon choices that lean into Speed and Range while sacrificing Damage, so they only shine in long-range play.


How to reroll your Hollow weapon

You change your Hollow weapon by rerolling with the Experimental Hogyoku Shard. This item is the only way to land the weapon that suits your stat spread.

You can obtain Experimental Hogyoku Shards from the following sources:

  • Daily Rewards
  • Raid Chests
  • The Hogyoku
  • Microtransactions

Because rerolls are random, you may need several Shards before hitting the weapon you are targeting. Stock up through Daily Rewards and Raid Chests if you are chasing the Greatsword or another specific pick.

If you want to start rolling, VV: Ultimatum is playable on Roblox. From there, equip a fresh weapon, check whether its Damage, Range, and Speed match your build, and reroll again if the spread does not line up with how you fight.
