3 Best Weapons in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Assassin's Creed Valhalla has a lot of weapons that contribute to becoming a complete Viking warrior. Be it wielding an axe of large size or swift strikes with a light sword, Assassin's Creed Valhalla's weapon system satisfies them by giving them a chance to personalize their combat style. Here are three of the best weapons in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, chosen for their high level of damage output, versatility, and overall effectiveness in different combat situations.

1. Excalibur

Arguably one of the most iconic weapons in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Excalibur is King Arthur's mythical sword, and boy, is it powerful. Most methods of acquiring this involve the player searching for 11 mysterious tablets across England which finally leads to an epic moment where Eivor manages to pull the sword from stone.

Excalibur's selling point is that it contains very high attack power with strong stun damage, making this weapon perfect for both boss fights and large-scale battles. It also contains a unique perk in that, during heavy finishers or critical hits, Excalibur blinds enemies in a small radius, making it a great crowd-control option. Its heavy damage makes it ideal for players who enjoy close combat high-risk, high-reward gameplay. Paired with its wide swing radius, Excalibur is one of the more formidable weapons within Valhalla for both dueling and large-scale group encounters.

2. Varin's Axe

Varin's Axe might be one of the earliest weapons Eivor attains in the game, but that does not mean it is out of date, it is still one of the most trustworthy and effective weapons throughout all of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. This one-handed axe features fast attack speed that allows players to send out fast blows while maintaining a decent amount of stamina. Its perk coupled with increased critical hit chance after a successful hit makes it devastating in longer encounters where the number of strikes can pile up.

What makes Varin's Axe stand out in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, however, is its versatility in either being dual-wielded with a shield for very defensive play or being dual-wielded with another weapon for fast, aggressive combat. The axe also uses super-efficient stamina, which lets players maintain an aggressively high level of offensive pressure without building up fatigue.

3. Gungnir (Odin's Spear)

Gungnir, the spear of Odin, is a good choice for reach and tactical control. This mythic can be located in the endgame region of Hordafylke in Assassin's Creed Valhalla and contains the greatest reach out of any weapon in the game due to its extended hitbox.

The unique perk of Gungnir allows it to project for a far reach and is thus perfect for players who wish to keep enemies away from themselves while controlling the battlefield. The reach allows for more strategic approaches to combat, such as separating enemies in a group or taking down faster foes without getting overwhelmed. Combining speed and range with a solid base attack power, Gungnir ranks quite high among spear weapons.

Conclusion

Assassin's Creed Valhalla also finally gives room to a wide area of freedom to the player in how they want to tackle combat, offering a wide array of weapons to suit any type of play style. Notwithstanding, for versatility, damage, and utility, Excalibur, Varin's Axe, and Gungnir top the list of being the best. Whether it be Excalibur's brute force, the quick cuts of Varin's Axe, or the reach of Gungnir, these will serve you in conquering England. All three vary by unique perks that give them an edge and are a core definer of your playstyle within the game.
