Legacy Piece Weapon Tier List — Ranked by Real Damage
Most weapon tier lists for this game are somebody's feel after an afternoon of play. This one is arithmetic: every weapon card on the official Trello publishes damage per key, so the ranking below is simply those numbers added up and sorted. Where a card has no moveset published, the weapon is listed as unranked rather than slotted in on a hunch.

How this list was built
Every score is the sum of the published damage on that card's Z, X, C, F and V moves. M1 is excluded — it is filler, not part of a rotation.
Cards with no published moveset are not ranked. They are listed on the data pages instead of being given an invented position here.
Cooldowns, range, hit windows and how a move feels in PvP are not in the score. A long-cooldown nuke and a fast rotation can total the same.
Nothing here is weighted by opinion, so if you disagree with the ordering you can see exactly which number to argue with.
What the numbers miss
Burst total rewards big single hits. In practice a 60-second V move that lands for 112 is worth less in a
tower run than a 7-second Z that lands for 32, because you get the Z eight times.
Read the cooldowns in the full weapons table alongside this ranking, and pair whatever
you pick with a weapon-damage race such as Bladeborn or Mythreaper.
