Overall, the best weapon in the game is the Fox Rapier, with the Vorpal Blade and the Doru coming close after.

Let’s go through everything you need to know about these weapons and what makes them stand out.

Best Weapons in Backpack Hero

There is a wide weapon variety in Backpack Hero. Specifically, there are Cleaves, Bows, Arrows, Wands, Daggers, Hatchets, and Hammers. Each weapon type has various unique weapons in it that can shine in the right builds.

Of course, especially for the early game, you’ll need to use any weapon you can find. In general, higher-rarity weapons are stronger overall and you should prioritize those.

However, there are certain weapons that you should always pick up once you find them. Here are the best weapons in Backpack Hero:

Glove of Knives

If you’re looking for a scratch support item, Glove of Knives is a must-try. While it requires one other scratch support to use it efficiently, you can boost it with gems like a normal weapon to make it even stronger.

Club

The Club is the best early-game weapon in Backpack Hero since it can be obtained easily and applies the Weak debuff on enemies.

This buff makes it easier to deal with many challenging enemies in the early game as well as bosses.

Doru

Doru is a great weapon that prioritizes defense over offense. If you’re looking for a legendary spear that increases your survivability, it’s a great early-game option.

Vorpal Blade

The Vorpal Blade is a great choice for low-energy builds since it can attack twice with one energy and four times with three energy.

It has very high damage but falls off if you have too much energy since you won’t be able to spend it.

Fox Rapier

Fox Rapier is the best weapon in Backpack Hero due to its great combination of offensive and defensive capabilities. It has high damage, boosts your shield, and also grants Block when attacking.

To get the Fox Rapier, you must defeat a Travelling Warrior, who can be challenging to defeat without the right build.

However, having the best weapon in the game isn’t enough on its own. Make sure to also check out our list of the best Accessories in Backpack Hero as well as our guide on how to win with Tote to fully optimize your builds.
