Sung Jinwoo Weapon Tier List Including Demon King’s Daggers, October 11.

The newly released Demon King’s Daggers is seen as having the potential to surpass West Wind as the top wind-attribute weapon for Sung Jinwoo. However, many players have already achieved high advancements with West Wind, making it more efficient in early stages. Demon King’s Daggers has low base stats, but its performance increases significantly with each advancement, making it a stronger option at higher advancement levels.

Attribute-Based Weapon Tier Evaluation

Light Attribute

• Truth: Demon Knight's Spear: Offers extreme burst damage and is considered top-tier due to its powerful performance, exclusively obtainable through guild content.
• The Huntsman: Provides decent attack power, break reduction, and increases enemy damage after break, making it situationally useful.

Dark Attribute

• Demonic Plum Flower Sword: The best weapon for Sung Jinwoo, highly versatile with strong buffs, often used regardless of content.
• Moonshadow: Not for solo use, shines in group content with its damage increase debuff.
• Zeke's Fragment: Great for ranged AoE nuking, sometimes used instead of Moonshadow.
• Shadow Scythe: A free weapon with health penalties, leading to lower popularity.

Wind Attribute

• Demon King’s Daggers: New weapon with explosive damage scaling through advancement, considered a next-generation OP weapon.
• West Wind (SR): The only SR-tier weapon, capable of strong burst damage, but its performance drops against higher-level enemies due to lower critical hit rates.
• Demon King's Longsword: A more defensive weapon that has received continuous buffs, but its relevance may decrease with the release of the Demon King’s Daggers.

Fire Attribute

• Phoenix Soul: High synergy with Sung Jinwoo’s new Sonic Stream-Sonic Explosion skills, greatly boosting core attack damage.
• Vulcan's Rage: Due to its stacking mechanism and defensive nature, Vulcan's Rage has generally been unpopular. However, it has recently regained attention after being used by the Solo Leveling: ARISE championship winner and proving effective in battles against the new boss, Beste.
• Juicy Grilled Skewer: An event weapon with tricky buffs, not widely used.

Water Attribute

• Thetis' Grimoire: A top-tier weapon due to its freeze ability, cumulative damage explosion, and increased weakness damage, making it essential for guild boss battles, especially when paired with Moonshadow.
• Skadi: High damage output with synergy through water damage fields, valuable in content like Power of Destruction.
• Secured Marlin Surfboard: An event weapon with decent performance, but less frequently used due to competition from stronger water-element weapons.

Tier List Criteria

• When it comes to Sung Jinwoo's weapons, usage isn't strictly tied to elemental attributes, unlike in Hunter Battles.
• Demonic Plum Flower Sword is exceptionally popular across a wide range of content, not just in dark-element situations.
• Weapons like Moonshadow and Thetis' Grimoire are highly valued for their unique abilities, which make them essential in specific content.
• Performance and usage frequency in high-level content like Instance Dungeons, Workshop of Brilliant Light, Battlefield of Time, Battlefield of Trials, and Guild Bosses are key factors.
• Only West Wind is included from SR weapons.
• Weapons like Radiru Family's Longbow and Orb of Avarice still see some use but are generally considered secondary options.
