Wondering about the best sword or race in Rogue Piece? There are a bunch of customization options to consider when making a build. I’m here to rank them all so you’ll be able to read about the best races, swords, specs, fruits, powers, traits and equipment. Here’s my ultimate early-mid-late and PVP/PVE Rogue Piece tier list for everything in the game.

Rogue Piece Sword, Spec and Fruit Tier List
This Rogue Piece tier list will dive into the three main build options which are Combat Specs, Fruits and Swords. I’ll also give you the locations of all of these and the best equipment and race to use (there’s also a race tier list below). I ranked them for PVP and PVE while keeping how good they are early-mid-late game. SSS is the overall meta with the highest DPS with S being a close second. A-Tiers are great alternatives while B-Tiers are good for PVE farming. Lastly, C are early game options and D-Tier are unusable.
Note: This tier list is up-to-date for the Aizen/Shanks patch. I’ll update it with new stuff as they come out.
SSS-Tier Swords, Specs & Fruits
| SSS-Tier | Why SSS-Tier? | Location |
|---|---|---|
Sukuna Combat Spec/Special Scales With Power | • Sukuna and Aizen are about evenly matched but I prefer Sukuna even though it has lower burst damage because it has better combos • The light combos with Sukuna are some of the best in the game since the M1 is so good and has range • Plus you get good range on all of your abilities, they’re fast and have lower CD than Aizen • You have amazing AOE and damage for PVE farming and the moves can be pretty good in PVP too • Plus that cutscene deals 20k+ damage on max stats with B/A Power • Goes best with Aizen’s Outfit/Akaza Beads and Demon race | Windmill Village Sukuna Teacher On a hill |
Aizen Combat Spec/Special Scales With Power | • On the other hand Aizen overall does more burst damage with his moves but the CDs are longer than Sukuna • Still it’s the highest damage in the game so you’ll have no trouble with bosses, PVE farming and PVP • Your range is lower than Sukuna but you have a mobility teleport multi-hit move • Plus, the black coffin is massive AOE damage • Goes best with Aizen’s Outfit/Akaza Beads and Demon race | Huecomundo Aizen Teacher |
S-Tier Swords, Specs & Fruits
| S-Tier | Why S-Tier? | Location |
|---|---|---|
Akaza Combat Spec/Special Scales With Power | • Akaza has some of the best M1s in terms of combat specs and overall his moves deal really good damage • Plus they are all low cooldown so the DPS stacks up quite fast • That said the range is low so you’ll struggle a bit in PVP if you don’t have good movement or you get kited • That’s why I prefer Aizen or Sukuna but don’t get me wrong, Akaza is still the top 3 DPS option in the game • Goes best with Aizen’s Outfit/Akaza Beads and Demon race | Throne Isle Akaza Teacher |
Dual Daggers Sword Scales With Sword | • Easily the best Sword in the entire game with DPS that can compete with Combat Specs which are usually the highest DPS in the game • SJW Daggers give you a lot of flexibility since you have high damage, high DPS, good M1s but also good mobility • X is such a great move for PVP to get better mobility and is also decent for PVE • You can easily solo bosses with these just make sure you have the recommended loadout below • Goes best with Reaper Clothes and Arrancar race | Rogue Town Dual Dagger Seller |
A-Tier Swords, Specs & Fruits
| A-Tier | Why A-Tier? | Location |
|---|---|---|
Zangetsu Sword Scales With Sword | • Great AOE damage and range for PVE farming and great for bosses • The moves are a bit slow for PVP though • That said it’s got the most damage per move rotation • Goes best with Reaper Clothes and Arrancar race | Rogue Town Zangetsu Gacha NPC |
Gryphon Sword Scales With Sword | • Only two moves but they’re really fast • Z can deal a fast burst of 10k damage with good Sword Stats and deals more damage than Dark Blade/Yoru Z • X has longer iFrames than Dark Blade X • Great for PVP due to speed and also early-mid-late game farming • Goes best with Reaper Clothes and Arrancar race | Whispering Jungle Just walk straight ahead from the mob Quest NPC |
Light Fruit Scales With Power | • The best Fruit/Power in the game both in terms of DPS and mobility • You get really good AOE DPS moves to complement Combat Specs • You also have the best mobility move in the entire game with F allowing you to both move fast and reposition in PVP • It’s got worse DPS than Combat Specs and Swords but it’s still a good backup to have when your Spec skills are on CD • Goes best with Aizen’s Outfit/Akaza Beads and Demon race | Rogue Town Fruit Gacha NPC 2% chance to drop |
B-Tier Swords, Specs & Fruits
| B-Tier | Why B-Tier? | Location |
|---|---|---|
Dark Blade Sword Scales With Sword | • I’m comparing it to Gryphon and it deals lower damage than G’s Z but higher damage with X though the iFrames are shorter • The iFrames are really good to exploit in PVP but overall Dark Blade is just a little bit worse end-game than Gryphon so I put it in B • Dark Blade is still the best weapon to rush early to mid game for farming but Zangetsu and SJW Daggers are better for end-game bosses • Goes best with Reaper Clothes and Arrancar race | Glacier Ice On the little ice hill next to Mihawk’s Quest NPC |
Tanjiro’s Nichirin Sword Scales With Sword | • Tanjiro’s sword has more moves than Dark Blade and Gryphon but they are slower and more awkward to land • Still if you manage to pull out the entire rotation including the cutscene you are dealing more DPS • But in practice Dark Blade and Gryphon are better because they are faster, especially in PVP • So overall Tanjiro can sometimes be better for bosses but I wouldn’t really get it since Dark Blade/Gryph are better mid-game and Zangetsu/SJW are better late-game • Goes best with Reaper Clothes and Arrancar race | Forge Isle Tanjiro’s Seller |
Blood Power Scales With Power | • Light is better but Blood is still a great alternative for PVE farming • It’s better than Gravity in terms of DPS for bosses even though Gravity has better range and AOE • You also get a movement skill similar to Light with F but slower • Goes best with Aizen’s Outfit/Akaza Beads and Demon race | Rogue Town Fruit Gacha NPC 5% chance to drop |
Sandevistan Combat Spec/Special Scales With Power | • The Sandevistan is by far the worst combat spec but when compared to other Powers/Swords it’s similar to Tanjiro’s Sword • You get more moves than Swords but they are all a bit slow and deal low DPS • This can be good mid game for farming but I would overall just farm towards any of the other Combat Specs • For example, the speed boost is cool but Akaza gets almost 3 times better speed on the final move and much higher DPS • Sandevistan needs a buff badly • Goes best with Aizen’s Outfit/Akaza Beads and Demon race | Rogue Town David NPC He’s at the back of the island on a hill next to the water |
C-Tier Swords, Specs & Fruits
| C-Tier | Why C-Tier? | Location |
|---|---|---|
Dual Katana Sword Scales With Sword | • The best early game farming tool for PVE that you should rush ASAP • Swords are the best farming tools in general and this is the first one you should get after Katana • It’s really easy to get if you claim all the codes and farm a little • That said it gets out-DPS-ed by all swords later on | Sandora Island/Desert Island Between the houses and the tower near the island’s port |
Katana Sword Scales With Sword | • The first Sword you’ll get and what you’ll use to farm for Dual Katana • Everyone should start with a Katana to farm other stuff really fast and then you can respec later if you want to use Power-scaling stuff | Starting Island Near where you originally spawn |
Gravity Fruit Scales With Power | • Overall Gravity does have good AOE and range but the DPS is simply worse than Blood and Light • So there’s not much point using it other than early game farming if you get lucky and get it | Rogue Town Fruit Gacha NPC 5% chance to drop |
Combat Melee/Fist Scales With Strength | • This are your starting fists that you spawn in with • The only thing that scales with Strength in the entire game for now • Basically they’re better than nothing and have more DPS than some Fruits but there’s no real point in using them since you have no moves • Still, it’s funny how this can out-DPS low-Tier, Fruits and some early-game Swords if you get A Strength | You spawn with this |
D-Tier Swords, Specs & Fruits
| D-Tier | Why D-Tier? | Location |
|---|---|---|
Quake Fruit Scales With Power | • Quake is better than Bomb but it’s still not the best since your moves are slow and don’t deal that much damage • The only good thing is C which is a massive AOE for PVE farming but only for mobs and not bosses and it’s on an incredibly high CD • Just use Blood or Light | Rogue Town Fruit Gacha NPC 30% chance to drop |
Bomb Fruit Scales With Power | • Never use this • Just use Swords to farm either better Fruits or Combat Specs if you want to build Power and then respec | Rogue Town Fruit Gacha NPC 50% chance to drop |
Rogue Piece Race Tier List
The best race in Rogue Piece goes a long way to boost your DPS based on your build. You get them from Race Rerolls and for some like the Demon race you can use specific items like Muzan’s Blood. The two races in S-Tier are almost equal depending on whether you’re going for a Sword stat build or a Power stat build. A-Tiers are good alternatives to start the game with but late game you should always aim for S-Tiers. B-Tier is an early game option, C-Tier are almost useless and D don’t give buffs.
How to Get Race Rerolls: You get them from Codes, by opening Chests and from Fishing. You can get a Fishing rod from the NPC at the starting island’s docks and just AFK Fish to farm Race Rerolls (See below for recommended early-mid and late-game races).
S-Tier Races
| S-Tier Races | Why S-Tier | Race Stats |
|---|---|---|
Demon | • Demon and Arrancar are about even with Demon being for Power stat builds and Arrancar being for Sword stat builds • That said Demon has an edge for two reasons • First: Because Combat Specs like Sukuna and Aizen scale with Power and they have the best DPS in the game • Second: If you’re a Demon fighting an Arrancar, Arrancar take 25% more damage from your Power stat attacks • This means that you’ll be nuking Arrancar players and overall other races with Demon if you have A Power and Sukuna/Aizen • So in short, Demon is the best race in the game even with the 2% instant-death chance | • Gains +25% HP • +25% Power stat damage multiplier • If your HP is below 25%, you have a 2% chance to instantly die • You can use the Muzan’s Blood item dropped from the Akaza Boss spawned on Throne Isle via the Boss Summoner NPC for a low chance to get this race |
Arrancar | • The counterpart of Demon but for Sword builds • The best part about this race besides the Sword damage boost are the dash iFrames • You get a 0.3 iFrame per dash which can be really strong to avoid some AOE moves • That said your downside is really bad against Power attacks • Still it’s the best race in the game for Sword builds | • Flash Step: Your dashes have slight iFrames • Higher defense • +25% Sword stat damage multiplier • You take +25% more damage from Power stat attacks • You can use the Hogyoku item dropped from the Aizen Boss on Huecomundo for a low chance to get this race |
A-Tier Races
| A-Tier Races | Why A-Tier | Race Stats |
|---|---|---|
Celestial Dragon | • Get this race ASAP in the early and mid-game so that you can farm faster towards late game • Once you have some high-tier gear from the tier list above, you can go for Demon or Arrancar • This is the best race in the game early to mid/late for farming | • Gains +25% Gems • Gain +25% EXP • Gain +25% Money |
Cyborg | • An okay race to get since the extra HP is useful but this game favors damage more so this is just an alternative to Demon and Arrancar • That said if you don’t like the debuffs, Cyborg is perfect but know that it is weaker overall • Scales really well with high Defense | • Gains +50% Health • You can use the Hardware Chip item dropped from the David Boss spawned on Throne Island via the Boss Summoner NPC for a low chance to get this race |
B-Tier Races
| B-Tier Races | Why B-Tier | Race Stats |
|---|---|---|
Fishman | • The swimming part is useless since you’ll be air-dashing everywhere anyway • The Defense boost is nice and more useful than all the races below so it’s okay if you can’t get anything better | • Swims faster and has higher defense |
C-Tier Races
| C-Tier Races | Why C-Tier | Race Stats |
|---|---|---|
Mink | • Overall useless but can sometimes work in your favor for PVP dodging • That said it’s not worth it and you should get a higher-tier race | • Runs faster and dashes quicker |
Skypiean | • Similar to Mink where it’s mostly useless but it can be good in PVP sometimes to dodge attacks or position yourself higher than your opponnet for a move • That said it’s not worth it and you should get a higher-tier race | • Can use air-jump 3 extra times |
D-Tier Races
| D-Tier Races | Why D-Tier | Race Stats |
|---|---|---|
Human | • No buffs | • No buffs |
Rogue Piece Trait Tier List
The best traits in Rogue Piece are really simple to determine since they work as a damage multiplier so the best one is the one with the highest multiplier. In this case this is Limit Breaker but the problem is that it has a 0.1% chance to drop. You get traits from the Trait Reroll NPC in Rogue Town so try to get the best trait that you can. There’s no real need for a tier list since they are arranged linearly from highest to lowest (best-to-worst) below:
- Limit Breaker (Mythical) – Damage x1.75 – Drop Chance 0.1%
- Shadowborn (Legendary) – Damage x1.45 – Drop Chance 0.5%
- Strongest One (Legendary) – Damage x1.4 – Drop Chance 0.5%
- Immortal (Epic) – Damage x1.35 – Drop Chance 2.5%
- Maestro (Epic) – Damage x1.3 – Drop Chance 2.5%
- Enforcement (Rare) – Damage x1.25 – Drop Chance 5%
- Divine (Rare) – Damage x1.2 – Drop Chance 5%
- Boosted (Uncommon) – Damage x1.1 – Drop Chance 10%
- Basic (Common) – Damage x1.05 – Drop Chance 10%
That’s it for my complete Rogue Piece tier list for swords, combat specs, fruits, powers and races. Check out our Rogue Piece codes for a fast start to the game that you can use to get your Celestial Dragon race and buy a Dual Katanas for fast farming.
