How this is ranked

Metric: For each attack in the weapon’s moveset (left and right swings, thrusts, charged and special attacks) add up every damage type it deals, then take the mean over all attacks. Each attack counts once, however often you can use it.
How tiers are cut: By percentile within this list, so a tier says where something sits among its peers, not how good it is in absolute terms. Equal values always share a tier.
S: top 10%
A: next 20%
B: next 30%
C: next 25%
D: bottom 15%

2 have no damage values in the files and aren't ranked.

One number can't capture everything (reach, speed, effects, how a build plays). That's what the maker is for: open this list there and move things around.
