How weapon damage & scaling works

Weapon damage in Enshrouded scales with three core attributes: DEX (Dexterity) for bows + daggers + throwing weapons, STR (Strength) for all melee one- and two-handed weapons, and INT (Intelligence) for wands + staves. Putting attribute points into the wrong stat caps your weapon damage hard — a STR-stacked Mage with a staff hits like wet noodles.

Each weapon page lists its scaling stat in the slot intro so you can match attribute investment.

Legendary weapons in Enshrouded are end-game named weapons that drop from Hollow Halls bosses, Sun Temple chests, and biome-specific encounters in Kindlewastes / Albaneve Summits / Veilwater Basin. They carry named perks (e.g. "Magic Ice Damage", "Headseeker", "Renewal") on top of their base damage profile — mundane weapons have no perks.

See the dedicated Legendary Weapons hub for the full set sorted by drop region + level.

Weapon tier list — slot priority

Slot priorities for current Enshrouded meta. S = meta-defining (pairs with the most-played builds + legendary picks in every level band). A = strong for specific archetypes. B = niche / situational.

CategoryTierScalingCountWhy pick it
DaggersADEX (Dexterity)33Fast off-hand and main-hand options. Pair with the Assassin Dual Blades build for backstab burst; scales with DEX.
One-handed SwordsSSTR (Strength)38All-purpose melee. The sword-and-shield combo is the Tank's bread and butter; scales with STR.
One-handed AxesASTR (Strength)29Heavy single-hand with strong stagger. Great for Warriors that want shield uptime without dropping to a club.
One-handed ClubsBSTR (Strength)24Maces and clubs — high stun against armoured enemies. Pair with a heavy shield for the Sword & Board variant.
Two-handed GreatswordsASTR (Strength)24High-DPS sweepers. The Barbarian / Whirlwind Crescendo loadout lives here; trades shield uptime for raw burst.
Two-handed AxesBSTR (Strength)15Slow, heavy two-handers. Top stagger in slot; ideal against armoured frontline enemies and slow bosses.
Two-handed HammersASTR (Strength)18Crushing damage + AoE shockwave on heavy attacks. Pairs naturally with the Berserker Barbarian build.
Two-handed ClubsBSTR (Strength)8Niche category — only 8 entries. Stamina-efficient burst alternatives for two-handed mains.
BowsSDEX (Dexterity)35Long-range main weapon for Rangers. Sniper / Marksman builds live here; scales with DEX, headshots ignore armor.
Throwing WeaponsBDEX (Dexterity)10Hybrid utility — toss between bow shots for stagger, or as a quick-cast mage off-hand.
WandsAINT (Intelligence)30Single-target Mage off-hand. Faster cast than staves; pair with INT-scaling builds for chip damage.
StavesSINT (Intelligence)29Main Mage weapon. Higher base damage than wands but slower cast. Choose by element (fire/ice/lightning) matching your skill tree.

Which weapon should you use?

If you want...Best weapon typeWhy
Solo single-target boss DPSBow + LongbowHighest charged-shot crit damage; kite-and-headshot loop trivialises solo boss telegraphs.
AoE trash clears + Shroud wavesTwo-handed Greatsword / HammerWhirlwind Crescendo + cleave hitbox clears 3-4 enemies per swing.
Group tanking in heavy plateOne-handed Sword + ShieldVigorous Deflection chain + shield-block survivability — the only loadout that can hold aggro.
Burst caster / AoE wizardStaff (Eternal Fire / Ice)Mana-leech endgame staff makes pure-cast rotations sustainable; cast-speed mods enable Multi-Cast.
Hybrid Battlemage (plate + cast)Wand + One-handed SwordWand cast between sword swings refreshes Arsonist DoT — the Battlemage signature loop.
Anti-air vs Banshees + drakesBow + Explosive ArrowsSee the dedicated anti-air guide — bow + Grounding Hook is the consensus pick.

The Legendary Weapons page lists all 254 confirmed legendaries with drop region + perks.
What's the best weapon for a beginner in Enshrouded?
Bow (Ranger archetype) is the safest starter weapon — long range lets you learn enemy patterns while staying alive. One-handed sword + shield is the safest melee starter (Sword & Board Tank); wand is the safest spell starter (faster cast than staff means lower commitment per attack). All three pair with progression-friendly skill trees.
Can you dual-wield in Enshrouded?
Yes — daggers and one-handed weapons can be paired in main + off-hand slots. The Assassin Dual Blades preset build is the canonical dual-dagger setup; dual swords + dual axes + sword-and-wand (Battlemage) are also viable. Two-handed weapons (greatswords, hammers, 2H axes) cannot dual-wield by definition.
What's the highest-level weapon in Enshrouded?
Level 40+ legendary weapons are the highest tier in current patch. Character level cap is 40; weapons cap higher because of legendary perk modifiers. The top-level legendaries drop from Veilwater Basin and Albaneve Summits Hollow Halls — see the legendary hub for the full level-40+ list.
