Version 1.0 of 33 Immortals gives you eight weapons split across four classes, and the one you bring shapes how you survive bosses, how you pressure enemies, and how much you help your team during a raid. The full roster unlocks using Eternal Shards collected from the starting area, so the real decision is which weapons reward the effort and which ones fight you harder than the enemies do.
Quick answer: The strongest 1.0 weapons are the Bow of Hope, Glaive of Temperance, and Crossbows of Pride. The Daggers of Greed sit lowest, not for lack of damage, but because mistiming the Takedown lunge leaves you exposed.
33 Immortals 1.0 weapon tier list
These rankings weigh each weapon’s core kit rather than its Co-op Power, since co-op abilities only pay off when you play with a coordinated group. S-tier weapons are the safe meta picks. A-tier weapons are strong but need more management. The single B-tier weapon is usable but hard to master.
| Tier | Weapon | Class role |
|---|---|---|
| S | Bow of Hope | Ranged DPS |
| S | Glaive of Temperance | Melee control |
| S | Crossbows of Pride | Ranged burst |
| A | Sword of Justice | Tank / frontline |
| A | Staff of Sloth | Support / control |
| A | Hooks of Gluttony | Mobile bruiser |
| B | Daggers of Greed | Aggressive melee DPS |
The Scepter of Charity arrived with the Paradiso realm at the 1.0 launch and is still being assessed, so it does not yet hold a tier placement.
Note: Your class also determines which weapon you carry, so picking the right weapon is inseparable from picking the right class. Pair the two together rather than choosing in isolation.
S-tier weapons: The meta picks
Bow of Hope
The Bow of Hope earns its place through the Guiding Light ability. Every arrow you fire can be recalled, which acts like an ammo refill while also stunning and damaging any enemy caught in the return path. A Heavy Arrow fired with Q skips the stun and only deals damage.
Your mobility drops while the recall is active, but the shoot, reposition, shoot loop is easy to learn and hard to punish. That safety from range is what makes it the most forgiving top-tier option for players still learning the rhythm of a run.
Glaive of Temperance
The Glaive is the most technical weapon in the game and pays off the hardest once the loop clicks. You chain light slashes with LMB and chain heavy slashes by pressing Q twice, then use the RMB Backstep to build Temperance.
Once your Temperance meter passes halfway, your damage rises sharply. Keep a small gap between you and the enemy so you land the edge of the blade rather than the flat, since edge hits deal the most damage. It takes practice, but a well-played Glaive shreds large groups.
Crossbows of Pride
The Crossbows are the most beginner-friendly S-tier pick, sitting between the Bow and the Glaive in complexity. The whole kit runs on the Pride mechanic. You brand an enemy with RMB, build Pride by hitting it with Light Bolts on LMB, then fire a Heavy Bolt with Q to spend that Pride on a high-damage barrage.
A branded enemy automatically takes extra damage on top of everything else, so the only rule to remember is to brand first, shoot second. That clean loop makes it a strong single-target choice against bosses.
A-tier weapons: Strong but more demanding
Sword of Justice
The Sword of Justice is built around managing one resource. You gain 10 Justice each time a basic Sword Slash lands, then spend it two ways. A Heavy Slash staggers and stuns, while Guard makes you immune to all incoming damage.
That Guard alone makes it worth learning, but cycling Justice between offense and defense under pressure takes real practice. Paired with a Fighter class, the ceiling is high, which is why it asks for more attention than the S-tier picks.
Staff of Sloth
The Staff generates 6 Sloth per basic hit, and its charge attack spawns orbs that add stun buildup while creating more Sloth. Spend that Sloth on Torpor to slow every enemy inside a target area.
The slow is excellent in crowded encounters, but its value drops sharply if your teammates are not positioned to capitalize on it. Solo, the lower personal damage holds it back.
Hooks of Gluttony
The Hooks are a fun, fairly simple pick once you settle in. Most of your damage comes from the basic attack, while the Hook on Q throws a projectile that pulls you toward an enemy for bonus damage. With Gluttony built up, that pull adds another attack.
You can also Parry incoming attacks to trigger Gluttonous, which raises your damage and lets you keep generating Gluttony. It is not the weapon you would pick to min-max a run, but it is far from useless and does not take hours to understand.
B-tier weapon: Daggers of Greed
The Daggers of Greed are an aggressive, high-skill weapon. Your basic attack generates Greed, and Stun Slash applies a heavy stun on hit while building even more Greed. The payoff is Takedown, a forward lunge that consumes all your Greed to scale up both damage and stun.
The trouble is the lunge itself. Mastering the timing is difficult, and a mistimed Takedown drops you straight into danger, leaving you overextended more often than not while you learn. That risk is why it lands below the more forgiving options at 1.0, even though the damage ceiling is high.
Weapon controls and mechanics reference
| Weapon | Resource / mechanic | Key input |
|---|---|---|
| Bow of Hope | Recall fired arrows for stun and damage | Guiding Light (special) |
| Glaive of Temperance | Build Temperance for a damage boost above half meter | RMB Backstep |
| Crossbows of Pride | Brand, build Pride, spend it on a barrage | RMB brand, Q heavy bolt |
| Sword of Justice | 10 Justice per hit, spend on stagger or Guard immunity | Charged attack / Guard |
| Staff of Sloth | 6 Sloth per hit, spend on a wide-area slow | Torpor (special) |
| Hooks of Gluttony | Pull toward enemies, Parry for the Gluttonous buff | Q hook, Parry |
| Daggers of Greed | Build Greed, consume it on a scaling lunge | Takedown (special) |
For the fastest path to clearing content, start with the Bow of Hope or the Crossbows of Pride, since both reward simple, repeatable loops while still scaling well. Move to the Glaive of Temperance once you want a higher skill ceiling, and treat the Daggers of Greed as a weapon to grow into rather than start with. Every weapon can finish a run with the right perks and relics, so the tiers describe how much work each one asks of you, not whether it can win.
