In Stoneshard, a range of weapons is at your disposal to create chaos. While the game offers numerous options, not every weapon is equally effective. To truly excel, you need to identify the most powerful weapons to acquire and use in your ideal character build.

For instance, the Brynn Polehammer is exceptional for stunning foes, while the Pull-Lever Crossbow fulfills your ranged weapon needs. To put this discussion to rest, this guide highlights the 10 top weapons available in the game.

10. Brynn Polehammer

This two-handed mace, the Brynn Polehammer, delivers both critical hits and a greater chance to daze opponents. As a common weapon, it’s perfect for engaging enemies from a distance, delivering both piercing and crushing blows.

What sets this weapon apart is its superior accuracy and bleed chance compared to others. You can easily find the Brynn Polehammer at various merchants.

9. Guardsman Broadsword

The Guardsman Broadsword is a distinctive one-handed weapon designed for slashing and wedging attacks, boasting a maximum slashing damage of 36. It also provides +15% armor penetration and +30% increase in body part damage.

While accuracy isn’t its strongest feature, it enhances your block chance and overall damage. To obtain this sword, loot the boss’s chest after conquering tier 4 dungeons while at level 30.

8. Lordly Axe

If axes are your weapon of choice, the Lordly Axe is an excellent pick. It matches the previous weapon’s slashing damage of 36 but offers enhanced armor penetration and body part damage.

This weapon is favored for its boosted bleed and critical hit chances. You can find the axe near the Guardsman Broadsword, or opt for the Reinforced Axe, which boasts better stats, although it’s more challenging to acquire since it appears as random loot.

7. Venomancer Staff

Staves are effective for players focusing on mobility, crowd control, and survival. The Venomancer Staff excels in combining crushing damage with poison and caustic effects.

If you’re searching for a staff that offers decent cooldown rates, bleed chances, and health recovery, this common staff can be obtained from Renod Kann and Ol’ Tott.

6. Voivode Bludeon

For those who enjoy heavy crushing damage, the Voivode Bludeon mace features a +20% increase in armor penetration and overall damage. This weapon also improves daze chances, although it raises skill and spell energy costs. You can acquire it from Rigo Nevic or common merchants in Brynn Mint Square and Brynn Docks.

5. Elven Stiletto

Daggers are ideal for executing stealthy strikes in close combat. When selecting a dagger, you want one with strong piercing damage, and the Elven Stiletto fits the bill.

With 21 piercing damage, +25% armor penetration, and a +10% bleed chance, this dagger minimizes fumble risk while enhancing critical hit chances and efficiency. This accessible weapon can be obtained from either Armuz or Esfah.

4. Espadon

For robust players needing significant slashing capability, the Espadon greatsword, a two-handed weapon, is an excellent choice. It offers high damage, area impact, mobility, and survivability, along with a +10% crit chance.

The Espadon boasts the highest slashing damage among two-handed swords, making it a worthwhile investment. To acquire this sword, loot the boss chest from the far-off tier 4 Catacomb Dungeons.

3. Pull-Lever Crossbow

This crossbow is commonly found and can be bought from nearly every merchant. Its advantages lie in its impressive piercing and body part damage ratings, but it requires a high level of accuracy. When used effectively, it can immobilize targets.

The crit efficiency of the Pull-Lever Crossbow is notably high, although it comes with increased skill and spell energy costs. It’s ideal for those seeking a lightweight weapon that requires minimal strength to operate.

2. Norse Longaxe

Boost your slashing, critical hit, and body part damage with the Norse Longaxe, a two-handed axe. You can simply purchase it from Ormi.

This axe enhances armor penetration and overall damage while increasing stagger chances. Although accuracy may slightly decline, the crit chance rises. Each strike with the Norse Longaxe inflicts bleed damage on enemies, providing high area damage.

1. Scorpion Halberd

For players who seek immobilization through critical hits, the Scorpion Halberd is an outstanding option, as it excels in crowd control and weakening foes.

This one-handed spear delivers piercing damage, but the Scorpion Halberd also inflicts slashing damage with every blow. It significantly increases bleed chances, block rates, and offers exceptional accuracy. Easily found, you can get this common weapon from Giles vir Ivel and Skinflint Horns.
