V Rising’s types and rarities of weapons are very confusing. There are terms like Iron or Dark Silver, which are usually named after the main resource used to craft the weapon.
There are also Epic and Legendary Ancestral tiers from the new Ancestral Forge, making it pretty challenging to understand. In this guide, we’ll list all the best weapons at the highest tier in V Rising’s Invaders of Oakveil patch.
The Best Weapons in V Rising Invaders of Oakveil 1.1 Patch
The Red Twins (Axe)
Axe Weapon Skills:
Legendary Weapon Skill Mods:
The Red Twin Axes are heavily underrated. Most players consider it a tool for farming trees since it has bonus damage, but its two additional axes on the X-Strike skill at its legendary tier make it one of the strongest weapons in the game.
It cleaves everything down and incapacitates everyone hit in the middle, and it is versatile against multiple enemies and single-target bosses as long as you throw the skill perfectly.
The Frenzy buff is also a great attack speed buff, and you can even play around with other skills instead of aBlood Rage/Power Surge spell combosince Frenzy already does the trick.

The Endbringers (Pistols)
Pistols Weapon Skills:
The Endbringers are your go-to ranged weapon for those who like a more fast-paced playstyle. Crossbows and bows are just too slow, but they are decent weapons.
Pistols give you the perfect ranged play around since their legendary version gives you the ability to move while changing your Fan the Hammer AoE-clearing skill.
Explosive Bullets help you clear more waves of enemies, and you can use spells from different schools of magic to apply more debuffs like Ignite from Chaos, Weaken from Illusion, and many others.
Apocalypse (Greatsword)
The Apocalypse excels in high DPS output but isn’t as versatile as the other weapons. You want to always have an Ignite source so you’re able to buff your Great Cleaver to do more damage. When you do, things will melt way quicker, especially for single-target fights.
The Death from Above also inflicts Ignite, and you can also use it as an escape tool when surrounded by enemies or boss mechanics.
The Gravecaller (Sword)
The Gravecaller’s biggest strength is its Shockwave, which allows you to teleport to the target upon recast, giving you a short invulnerability period. Gamers call this the “frame dodge” in most games, and you can use the recast exactly when you are about to take damage, so you can deal damage while dodging any dangerous attack.
The Shockwave skill alone puts the weapon at S-tier since you have an additional dodge, which in some situations is even better than your dash. The Whirlwind is excellent for clearing out enemies, but is used chiefly to summon more skeletons because the skill will inflict Condemn. It is one of the go-to weapons for summoner-type builds.

Mortira’s Lament (Reaper)
While the Gravecaller is a great weapon for summoners, Mortira’s Lament is an even better fit for the build. You’ll mostly play around with your skeletons, consuming them to heal yourself and increasing your power while trying to spawn as many skeletons as possible.
Most, if not all, of your spells should have the ability to inflict Condemn since spawning skeletons will be your biggest problem. Once you get used to the minion management playstyle, you are unkillable because of all your self-healing capabilities.
The Morning Star (Whip)
While the Morning Star doesn’t look appealing on paper, its hit-and-run style is one of the best in the game. Since it is a ranged weapon and its attack animations (compared to other ranged weapons) are extremely fast, you’re able to kite enemies easily.
You can even add Power Surge to eliminate enemies quicker while strafing faster. It is a safe weapon, but it isn’t that flashy compared to other weapons.
Where to Get Legendary Ancestral Artifact Shards in V Rising
While Tier 2 Rift Incursions mostly drop Epic Ancestral Weapon Shards, it has a 15% chance to drop a Legendary Ancestral Artifact Shards at the end of the incursion.
Ancestral weapons have random spell effects, including their attributes. So, if you are looking for a specific stat and effect combination for your weapon, you’ll need to farm a lot until you find the perfect one. Here are the possible stat rolls for Epic+ Ancestral weapons:
It’ll take a long time to grind out the best stat combinations, but that’s what you’ll most likely be doing in the endgame before or after you fight Dracula.
