Born from the collaboration between Mojang and Double Eleven, co-developers of Rust, Minecraft: Dungeons has all the characteristics to be an all-round RPG, especially as regards the vastness of the arsenal available. Among the avalanches of melee and ranged weapons, rarity plays an important role, as does the level of your character. Finding the best weapon is not easy, especially when you are spoiled for choice.
As you level up, unique legendary-type weapons may not always be the right choice, but they are certainly the brightest. Unique weapons are special versions of normal weapon archetypes, but already enchanted, to which it will always be possible to add other enchantments. During the campaign, unique weapons will also be outclassed by more powerful regular weapons, so don't get too attached to them.
There are three ways to get unique weapons and items:
- The least common is relying on the rare drop of normal mobs - which may only happen once in the entire game;
- The most occasional is from the gold chests scattered around the levels: replaying previously concluded levels in search of chests could be a good idea;
- The most reliable is to fight the big bosses scattered in Minecraft: Dungeons.
Preparing for farming - Melee and ranged weapons
To take on large groups of mobs in Minecraft: Dungeons, using a melee weapon is undoubtedly the best choice. Regardless of the difficulty, most mobs will collapse after a few hits. This means that you have to knowing how to balance the power and speed of the weapon to effectively defeat enemies. Slow and very powerful weapons are capable of taking out most of them in one shot, while fast ones enjoy multiple shots, useful for defeating mobs as quickly as possible.
For starters, the best weapon as you level up is always the one with the highest inventory level. Therefore it is not a problem to always use the same weapon for the first few hours of play.
Melee weapons
- Heartstealer (Unique)
The great power of this two-handed Claymore easily handles mobs. The Heartstealer comes with a power-up that restores vitality with every hit dealt.
- Grave Bane (Unique)
Another fantastic unique weapon, Grave Bane is equipped with an enchantment that makes it one of the best weapons for dealing with zombies and skeletons, extremely common enemies present in large quantities.
- Diamond sword
The classic and reliable diamond sword proves even more effective with a built-in Sharpness enchantment, which increases the damage dealt.
Ranged weapons
- Hunter's Promise (Unique)
Hunter's Promise is a unique bow that cannot be renounced for those who choose to attack from a distance, especially because it has an enchantment that provides a chance to get back a freshly shot arrow.
- Trickbow
While not the strongest in terms of power, the Trickbow is very effective against the hordes. Even without enchantment, his arrows bounce between mobs, thinning out large groups of enemies.
- Bonebow (Unique)
The Bonebow features an enchantment that increases damage exponentially for each hit. It is another great choice for dealing with enemies from a distance and can be further enchanted to fire faster.
And here we are at the end of the list of the best weapons to take on Minecraft: Dungeons. Good exploration, and good battles!
