Best Weapons in Idle Clans by Combat Style

Every Idle Clans weapon with its official accuracy bonus, strength bonus and attack speed, grouped by melee, archery and magic, by weapon type and by tier. Next to each one: how many of the 487 tracked top players hold it. For the rest of the loadout see best gear in every slot, and for which damage type each monster is weak to see weapon types vs weaknesses.

How this page ranks weapons

There is no single score. The game does not publish how bonuses turn into max hit or hit chance, so each style gets four plain answers: highest strength bonus, highest accuracy bonus, fastest attack speed, and most held by tracked top players. Tiers come from the weapon's name (Normal to Stygian), ordered by official base value; the data has no level requirements, so check the in-game tooltip for those. Held counts are a snapshot of what each profile had equipped when last read, and many top players are skilling at that moment, so tools fill a lot of weapon slots (241 of 487 profiles held a combat weapon).

Why is there no single DPS ranking?

Idle Clans does not publish how accuracy and strength bonuses turn into hit chance and max hit, so there is no honest way to weigh strength against attack speed. The tables give the official numbers side by side instead; the combat calculator turns the max hit and hit chance the game shows you into DPS and time to kill.
