Elden Ring curved swords stat sheet: attack rating at max upgrade
Every curved sword ranked by its attack rating fully upgraded, in its strongest affinity, at the stats it asks for. That's what it hits for the moment you can wield it, before you level past the requirements.
Ranked by attack rating from the game files at build 25827938. Counts attack rating at the weapon’s requirements. Does not count moveset, attack speed, recovery, reach, poise damage, status buildup or the weapon skill, so it is not a verdict on which weapon is best.
How this is ranked
- Metric
- Attack rating at max upgrade (+25, or +10 for somber weapons), one-handed, with each stat at the weapon’s requirement (10 where it has none), in whichever affinity gives the most. It is the same calculation as the AR calculator, from the game’s own scaling curves; buffs, two-handing and higher stats aren’t counted.
- Why there are no tiers
- The number is exact, but on its own it can't say which one is best, so this is a sorted sheet with no tier letters. What it leaves out is in the line at the top; your own ranking belongs in the maker.
