Complete Pixel Quest Tier List [Weapon/Ability/Armor/Equipment]

The best Legendary items in Pixel Quest depend on both your build and whether you’re going for a boss raid or farming mobs. Below I’ll be rating all weapons, abilities, armor and equipment including the current highest tier. Here’s my complete Pixel Quest tier list for everything in the game so that you can make the best build.

Pixel Quest Weapon Tier List

In general, the best weapons in Pixel Quest are Staves and Bows for clearing bosses/elites due to their range and Swords for crowd clearing due to their AOE. Axes and Daggers tend to be somewhere in the middle and quite flexible though they lack Staff/Bow range so you really have to learn patterns well. Also, special abilities and stat bonuses from Legendary items come into play here so let’s dive into the ranking reasons below.

Weapon Ranking Reason List

Weapon Categories	Ranking Reasons	Stats
Staff of the Worm Ahi’s Reaper T4 Staff Coral Staff Lily Staff Sylvan Staff	Boss Ranking • SoW and Ahi’s Reaper are the best boss-killers due to their reliable Range, single target shots and DPS Wear Ahi’s Amulet with the Reaper for optimal DPS • The T4 Staff also does the job quite well for all bosses • Coral Staff is good DPS with the extra projectiles but they’re more spread out so it’s more like a bow meaning you have to get closer • Lily Staff has such as bad damage range with 5-20 but it’s still a Staff so the range is good • Sylvan Staff is bad due to the range Mob Ranking • All staves aren’t the best for groups because they don’t pierce but SoW and Ahi still do great against elite Dungeon groups • Coral Staff is really good for crowds due to the bullet hell spread from your passive	• Worm Staff Damage: 45-55 Range: 10 Tiles Shots: 1 Rate of Fire: 2.5/s On Equip: +10 Wisdom, +30 Mana   • Ahi’s Reaper Damage: 30-35 Range: 12 Tiles Shots: 2 Rate of Fire: 2.5/s On Equip: +8 Speed On Shot: If “Ahi’s Amulet” is equipped, shoot an additional projectile dealing 20-25 True Damage • Executioner’s Staff T4 Damage: 22-26 Range: 10 Tiles Shots: 2 Rate of Fire: 2.5/s • Coral Staff Damage: 20-25 Range: 10 Tiles Shots: 1 Rate of Fire: 2.5/s On Equip: +10 Wisdom On Shot: 50% Chance to fire 2 additional projectiles dealing 25-30 damage Valor Boost: 1%   • Lily Staff Damage: 5-20 Range: 10 Tiles Shots: 2 Rate of Fire: 2.5/s On Equip: +50 Mana • Sylvan Staff Damage: 5-20 Range: 4 Tiles Shots: 8 Rate of Fire: 2.5/s On Equip: +5 Wisdom
Mushroom Bow T4 Bow Hand Cannon	Boss Ranking • Rush Wisdom with Mushroom Bow for a shotgun weapon that’s got great range and decent damage for safe boss clears • Hand Cannon is a single shot so lower DPS due to the lower attack speed if you don’t hit all shots on regular bows but Cannon has more DPS on single shots with the recent buff Mob Ranking • Cannon is okay here but it’s only a single shot even with the pierce whereas the spreading from Bows works good in crowds	• Broadbow T4 Damage: 17-21 Range: 8 Tiles Shots: 3/Pierce enemies Rate of Fire: 2.4/s   • Mushroom Bow Damage: 25-30 Range: 8 Tiles Shots: 2/Pierce enemies Rate of Fire: 2.4/s On Stat: At 45 WIS, gain 3 additional projectiles dealing 10-15 damage Valor Boost: 2%
Flame Claymore T4 Sword	Boss Ranking • Flame Claymore is tons of DPS if you have Heavy Armor but it’s B since you have to stay close to the boss which can be dangerous Mob Ranking • Obliterates crowds and non-boss dungeon enemies	• Flame Claymore Damage: 75-85 Shots: 1 Rate of Fire: 1.3/s Sword Category: Shots hit multiple enemies in a cone & pass through solids. On Equip: +5 Attack On Shoot: If the “Heavy Armor” category is equipped, gain 65% chance to shoot 5 additional burning projectiles dealing 10-15 Damage. Valor Bonus: 1%   • Emerald Sword T4 Damage: 70-101 Shots: 1 Rate of Fire: 1.3/s Sword Category: Shots hit multiple enemies in a cone & pass through solids.
Putrid Knife/Dagger of the Bog T4 Dagger	Boss Ranking • Daggers are awkward against bosses since you have to aim well and also dodge well at the same time but PK has great damage with Bombs • The regular dagger is really hard to play against bosses if you don’t have a healer so it’s lower Mob Ranking • Daggers are bad against crowds but PK is actually good due to the Bomb synergy	• Putrid Knife (Dagger of the Bog) Damage: 45-54 Range: 6 Tiles Shots: 1 Rate of Fire: 3.75/s On Bomb: Fire 9 slowing projectiles dealing 25-30 damage each. Valor Bonus: 2%   • Gilded Dagger T4 Damage: 51-55 Shots: 1 Range: 6 Tiles Rate of Fire: 2.7/s
Captain’s Axe Warped Axe T4 Axe	Boss Ranking • Axes are like Daggers in the sense that you have to both aim well and dodge well for DPS • That said Captain’s Axe has amazing DPS if you keep hitting shots Mob Ranking • Warped Axe is slower so worse for bosses but better against crowds due to stacking defense	• Warped Axe Damage: 94-96 Range: 9 Tiles Shots: 1/Pierces enemies Rate of Fire: 1.25/s On Enemy Kill: Gain 2 DEF for 10 seconds   • Captain’s Axe Damage: 50-57 Range: 9 Tiles Shots: 1/Pierces enemies Rate of Fire: 1/s Inflict: Burning on enemies for 5s 16.5 DPS On Bomb: 60% Chance to Gain 10 VIT for 2 Seconds.   • Verdant Axe T4 Damage: 88-92 Range: 6 Tiles Shots: 1/Pierces enemies Rate of Fire: 1/s

Pixel Quest Abilities Tier List

The best Abilities in Pixel Quest are all about whether you’re going in a team raid or solo and if you’re fighting bosses or farming mobs. I chose to rank Legendaries and T4 but if you don’t have as much mana you can think of the T4 rankings as T3 or T2 which spend less mana. Check out the rankings reasons below.

Abilities	Ranking Reasons	Stats
T4 Totem	Boss Ranking • A must-have in large boss raids for healing your team and yourself Mob Ranking • Good in Dungeons overall but you don’t really need it that much in the overworld for farming	• Divine Totem T4 Heal Wave: 92 HP on Contact + Self Shots: 1 Size: 3 Titles Speed: 14 Tiles/s Range 5 Tiles MP Cost: 70 Cooldown: 4s
Damage Bombs	Boss Ranking • Annihilates bosses, especially because some high tier weapons have On-Bomb synergy like the Putrid Knife • The highest DPS for your Ability slot and the Legendary is just a little bit better than the T4 Mob Ranking • The best Ability in the game for crowds and farming	• Seige Bomb Damage: 37-73 MP Cost: 60 Max Distance: 20 Tiles Cooldown: 0.8s Applies: Burning on enemies for 5s 61.7 DPS   • Toxic Fluid Damage: 50-70 MP Cost: 60 Max Distance: 20 Tiles Cooldown: 0.6s On Equip: +15 Dexterity, +5 Speed Valor Boost: 2%
Spells	Boss Ranking • Not as good against bosses because there’s no weapon synergy currently like with Bombs • While Venom Spell got buffed to do 40-45 x8 which is 320-360 if you hit all shots, Bombs do comparable DPS for less Mana and they’re easier to hit Mob Ranking • Great for crowds and farming	• Spectral Spell T4 Damage: 37-55 Range: 14 Tiles Shots: 6/Pass through solids Rate of Fire: 2/s Cooldown: 0.5s MP Cost: 45   • Venom Spell Damage: 40-45 Range: 5 Tiles/20 Tiles for the shots Shots: 8/Pass through solids Rate of Fire: 2/s Cooldown: 0.5s MP Cost: 45 Valor Boost: 2%
Flags	Boss Ranking • At least 1 or 2 people should have Flags in Boss Raids to boost team DPS • They’re about equal but the T4 Flag is usually better than the legendary for reliable weapon damage Mob Ranking • You don’t really need a flag for clearing overworld and farming since Bombs or Spells are better	• Royal Guidon T4 MP Cost: 70 Radius: 6 Tiles Cooldown: 9s Applies: Tanky on allies for 5s (+10 DEF) Rallied on allies for 5s (+30% PROJ SPD) Strengthened on allies for 5s (+23 ATK)   • Blossom Flag MP Cost: 70 Radius: 6 Tiles Cooldown: 9s Applies: Focused on allies for 10s (+20 WIS) Rallied on allies for 10s (+30% PROJ SPD) Healing on allies for 10s (+15 VIT)
Mushroom Bomb	Boss Ranking • Interesting alternative to the Totem for boss raids that’s slightly less effective but has a unique ability since you can heal from far away due to longer range Mob Ranking • No need here	• Mooshroom Bomb Damage: 0 MP Cost: 60 Max Distance: 20 Tiles Cooldown: 0.8s On Hit: Heals yourself and allies for 70 HP Valor Boost: 2%

Pixel Quest Armor Tier List

More details and item stats coming soon for the best armor in Pixel Quest. For now note that my ranking criteria was usually geared toward DPS rather than survivability. Once you learn boss patterns you won’t be getting hit anyway and you have Totems or Soothing Pendant to fix any mistakes with healing. That’s why armor pieces that boost Attack, Dexterity, Wisdom and Mana are higher. Shoutout to Ahi’s Hide that boosts Speed so that you can dodge boss patterns better. Also the Worm’s Robe for +50 Mana +10 Wisdom +23 Attack and immunity to sickness.

Pixel Quest Equipment Tier List

More details and item stats coming soon for the best equipment in Pixel Quest. I ranked all Legendary and T4 Belts, Boots, Bracelet, Crowns, Hats, Helmets, Pendants and Rings. For now note that my ranking criteria was usually geared toward DPS rather than survivability. Once you learn boss patterns you won’t be getting hit anyway and you have Totems to fix any mistakes with their healing. That’s why equipment pieces that boost Attack, Dexterity, Wisdom and Mana are higher. Shoutout to the Soothing Pendant that you can spam equip and unequip to heal.

That’s it for my Pixel Quest tier list for all weapons, armor, abilities and equipment. Check out my list of all Legendary item drop locations (I’ll update it tomorrow with the latest ones from this tier list).
