League of Legends (LoL) Swarm tier list for all weapons

Not all weapons are created equal.

When you’re crafting the ultimate build in League of Legends’ Swarm game mode, you’ll want to pick some of the best weapons you can get. While some weapons are certainly better on some characters than others, some weapons are great to take no matter the scenario. Meanwhile, other weapons are bad no matter who you’re playing as.

That can all be a bit confusing without guidance. Here’s a tier list of all the weapons available in LoL Swarm.

LoL Swarm weapon tier list

Before we begin, let’s set a few ground rules. For one, this tier list will not include weapons that you’re given upon selecting a character. That’s more suited for a character tier list than a weapon tier list.

It should also be known that, as mentioned above, not all high-tier weapons should be taken on all characters. Radiant Field, for example, is excellent on characters like Riven and Leona, but terrible on someone like Jinx. This should merely serve as a way to judge which weapons can give you the most bang for your buck in the right scenario. With that out of the way, let’s get started.

S Tier

  • Echoing Batblades
  • The Annihilator

The S Tier marks the best of the best weapons, almost always being good to have. The Annihilator, for example, is a literal screen wipe every 50 seconds or so, with extra XP earned once you evolve it using Exp Gain. Even for bosses, it can easily chunk them with its massive damage burst. If you’re struggling to think of a fifth weapon to have in your arsenal, you’d be hard-pressed to find something better than either of these.

A Tier

  • Anti-Shark Sea Mine
  • Blade-o-rang
  • Cyclonic Slicers
  • Gatling Bunny-Guns
  • Iceblast Armor
  • Searing Shortbow
  • UwU Blaster

A Tier weapons may not make the cut for top rank, but they’re still worthy weapons regardless. The Anti-Shark Sea Mine, for example, takes a bit to get going, but once it has additional levels and its evolution, it’ll be bouncing between tons of enemies for some easy damage.

B Tier

  • Battle Bunny Crossbow
  • Bunny Mega-Blast
  • Paw Print Poisoner
  • Radiant Field
  • T.I.B.B.E.R.S.

B Tier weapons aren’t bad, but typically have a few flaws that prevent them from feeling good to use. With something like Radiant Field, it’ll do decently, but is only a good choice for a select few characters. Even once evolved, it isn’t anything to write home about.

C Tier

  • Ani-Mines
  • Final City Transit
  • Lioness’s Lament
  • Statikk Sword
  • Vortex Glove
  • YuumiBot

C Tier is the worst of the weapons available, only worth taking if you absolutely must. Final City Transit is a prime example here. While it’s an interesting gimmick with a train that runs enemies over, it often requires specific scaling passives to work effectively, and attacks rather slowly. YuumiBot may be questionable to some as a C-Tier pick, but it requires Pick-Up Radius to evolve, which is just a very bad passive in a co-op-based setting like this. Grabbing experience orbs will only rarely be a problem.
