One thing to note is that it is not the bow that determines how much damage is dealt to an enemy but the arrow type instead. With this weapon, players can attack in range, though arrows are a requirement to use them. Pretty much the ultimate ranged option on Valheim. Each has its advantages and disadvantages in usage, which we’ll talk about below: Anyhow, these are bows, polearms, swords, clubs, axes, knives, and spears. The former’s ammunition while the latter’s defense. Well, technically 9, but arrows and shields usually aren’t considered weaponry. In Valheim, players have seven weapon types to choose from. Valheim Weapons In-game screenshot by Robots Now enough about unlock requirements, let’s talk about weapon types. The only thing you need to know is that the moment you get the prerequisite material, you’ll know what other materials are needed to craft anything. However, as per usual, crafting weapons require other materials as well, which we’ll cover later. And that’s even worse considering Frost is a much more difficult damage type to acquire.Once a player has the prerequisite material for a craftable weapon, players will then see it on their crafting menu. This is less than half of the next best option, which is Frost, at 9 enemies resistant. If you weren’t aware, only four enemies in the entire game are resistant against blunt damage. Not only is blunt effective against most enemies, but it also has the least enemies resistant to it. And that would be (drumroll!) blunt damage! When we compare which enemies are resistant to, and weak to each damage type, we see that blunt reigns supreme. Well, in my opinion, the best option would be to work with the damage type that has the fewest enemies resistant to it. But because of how the combat is balanced, there will always be certain enemies which are resistant to our damage, regardless of what damage type we choose. For the majority of the game, we’re going to need generally good options that we can use in most situations to take advantage of the fact we don’t have infinite points to distribute amongst our skills. What are my beginner options?” Well, you bring up a good point. While a spear may be better than the Porcupine, the Porcupine will still perform well against enemies resistant to Pierce because of the Blunt properties. The multiple damage types should mean that the weapon is still effective in more instances, even if it may not be the most effective in specific situations. One could argue that split damage weapons are the most versatile and efficient when it comes to taking down as many enemies of varying types as possible. (Because the troll is weak against pierce, but resistant to blunt) So if you were fighting an enemy like the Troll from our earlier example, the Pierce portion of the Porcupine would deal increased damage while the Blunt portion would deal reduced damage. Both of the damage values for each damage type will be treated as an individual weapon, and their respective weakness/resistance to that type will function normally. But how does this work when it comes to enemies? Well, I like to imagine that when I’m attacking, it’s like hitting the enemy with two weapons at the same time. For example, the Porcupine is a one-handed club that deals both blunt and pierce damage. And if you were to apply the same logic to a spear, it would do significantly higher damage than the sword or mace.īasically, certain weapons can deal a combination of two or three damage types. But, if you were to attack the troll with a sword of equal level and damage stat, it would do much more damage.
Well, if you were to hack away at a troll with a mace, it would do significantly lower damage than it would to a non-blunt-resistant enemy. For example, trolls are resistant to blunt damage, neutral to slash damage, and weak against pierce damage? What does this mean, though? Damage Type Resistances/Weaknesses Unfortunately, Valheim is a game with weapon balance, and that means that there is no best option… in theory. TL DR – If you’re looking for the ultimate damage type that is the best at everything, it doesn’t exist.
Pierce Damage – Primarily includes spears, but also includes knivesĮlemental – This damage type can vary from fire damage, frost damage, poison damage, and more Slash Damage – Primarily includes swords, but also includes knives We won’t be looking at bows, since they have completely different utility compared to melee. Smart thinking, so let’s see what our options are. You probably want to conserve your skill points and stack them into the best weapon type, rather than distribute them evenly on all of them. In fact, that may be why you clicked on this guide.
