Adira Nusantara Weapon Tier List
Complete weapon tier list ranking all 17 weapons in Adira Nusantara from S to D tier. Find the best swords, keris daggers, spears, sickles, ranged weapons, and magical staves with detailed stats, special effects, and acquisition methods. Updated for the July 2026 release.
Tier Definitions
Weapons are ranked by combat effectiveness, evolution scaling, and versatility across biomes. S-tier weapons dominate boss encounters and have the strongest evolution paths. D-tier weapons are outclassed in every metric. Rankings assume solo play; multiplayer may shift certain weapons up or down by one tier.
S-Tier — Meta-Defining
These weapons dominate any run with their combination of raw stats, special effects, and evolution scaling. A fully evolved S-tier weapon can carry you through the Final Guardian with minimal support. If you find one, build around it.
A-Tier — Highly Effective
A-tier weapons are strong choices that excel in specific situations or with particular builds. They may require more skill to maximize or have slower clear speeds than S-tier, but they are entirely viable for endgame content.
B-Tier — Situational
B-tier weapons are solid but have clear weaknesses — poor speed, situational special effects, or weak evolution scaling. They work fine in the early to mid-game but struggle against the later Guardians without heavy investment.
C-Tier — Niche Pick
C-tier weapons fill narrow niches. A Kujang Sickle life-steal build can work in long exploration runs, but its damage output falls off hard in boss encounters. Use these only if you know exactly what you are doing.
D-Tier — Avoid
D-tier weapons are strictly outclassed. Low damage, poor scaling, and underwhelming special effects make them a handicap. Only pick these for self-imposed challenge runs.

Indonesian Mythology & Traditional Weapons
Adira Nusantara draws heavily from Nusantara cultural heritage. Many of the weapons are authentic Indonesian traditional designs with deep historical significance.
- Keris (Kris): The iconic wavy-blade dagger of Java and Bali. Traditionally believed to possess spiritual power. In-game, Keris-class weapons deal poison damage and have exceptional evolution scaling, reflecting their mythical status.
- Golok: A machete-like blade from Sundanese and Betawi cultures. Used both as a farming tool and weapon. The Golok Machete in-game excels at bleeding effects, mirroring its practical cutting power.
- Celurit: The sickle weapon of Madura, famously associated with the legendary warrior Sakera. Its hook grab ability in-game references the real weapon's hooking technique in Silat.
- Rencong: The traditional dagger of Aceh, symbolizing courage and dignity. Its critical hit bonus at full HP in-game reflects the Acehnese warrior code of striking when at peak readiness.
- Kujang: A sickle-shaped blade from West Java, considered sacred. Its life-steal effect references the Kujang's role as a protective talisman in Sundanese tradition.
- Mandau: The traditional sword of the Dayak people of Borneo. Decorated with intricate carvings. Its bonus against armored enemies reflects the Mandau's use in inter-tribal warfare.
- Kerambit: A curved claw-like blade from Sumatra, designed to fit in the palm. Extremely fast and ideal for close-quarters combat, which is reflected in its speed rating.
- Trisula: A three-pronged trident weapon associated with Hindu-Buddhist deities in Javanese tradition. Its multi-hit capability and spiritual connection make it a unique polearm choice.
