Lineage Piece Tier List – Weapon, Melee & More [Gilgamesh]

I’ll be rating all specs in Lineage Piece for the best weapons, melee/styles, accessories, races and other features. I’ll also show you how to find and get everything. Here’s my complete Lineage Piece tier list and guide.

Lineage Piece Weapon & Style Tier List

This Lineage Piece tier list is based on both DPS and overall power, utility and usability. The S-Tiers deal the most damage, A-Tiers are great alternatives for farming and B-Tiers are weaker options overall. The C and D-Tiers are mainly starting options that don’t scale well in the end-game. Note that Fruits are decent early but weak overall in the mid-to-late game. I only use Light for mobility. Let’s dive into the individual ranking reasons below where I’ll also show you how to get each spec as well as its Mastery move.

Stat Breakdowns:

• Strength: Buffs Melee/Styles like Gilgamesh, Aizen, etc.
• Weapon: Buffs Weapons like Shadow, Raiden, etc.
• Power: Buffs Fruits like Light, Quake, etc.

Tiers & Progression: Tiers are arranged by power but also loosely for progression meaning you’ll likely progress from using specs at D-Tier>C-Tier>B-Tier etc.

I would go Katana>Gryphon>Light/Quake>Yoru>Deku>Gojo/Sukuna>A/S-Tiers

Best Accessories in Lineage Piece

Outfit Accessories are a core part of buffing the damage of your build. There’s two categories with Strength-buffing Outfits for Melee/Style builds and Weapon-buffing outfits for Weapon builds. Here are the best Outfits ranked for each build:

• Top Strength Outfits – Melee/Style Build
  1. Gilgamesh’s Outfit – Drop from Gilgamesh Boss – Summoned at Legend’s Arena (Requires Holy Grail from Gilgamesh Craft NPC exchanged for Golden Dust which is a 2.5% drop from any mob)
  2. Aizen’s Outfit – Drop from Aizen Boss – Hueco Mundo
  3. Rimuru’s Outfit – Drop from Rimuru Boss – Fossil Island
• Top Weapon Outfits – Weapon Build
  1. Shadow’s Outfit – Drop from Shadow boss in Cid’s Castle Raid (Key from Bandits at starting island and Bandits at Frostborn Island)
  2. Player’s Outfit – Drop from SJW Boss – Scorched Ruins
  3. Saber’s Outfit – Drop from Saber Boss – Summoned at Legend’s Arena

Best Race in Lineage Piece

The best Race in Lineage Piece depends both on your build, whether it’s Melee/Style or Weapon. It also depends on which spec you’re using since Races usually buff a specific Weapon or Melee/Style. Here are the best Races in Lineage Piece:

• Top Melee/Style Races
  1. Demi God: Strong on all Melee builds but especially with Gilgamesh
  2. Aizen: Universally strong regardless of your spec
  3. Slime: A bit weaker than Demi God but strong on all Melee and especially with Rimuru
• Top Weapon Races
  • Archon: Strongest Weapon Race regardless of Spec but also buffs Raiden
  • Eminence: Second-best Weapon Race that also buffs Shadow
  • Player: Third-best Weapon Race that also buffs Player’s Daggers

Best Race Note: All the other races are weaker than the above Top 3 in their category even if you’re using their specific weapons. For example, if you have Sukuna, the Aizen/Demi God Races are still stronger than using the Curse Race which buffs Sukuna.

Beginner Races: In the early/mid-game try to get Shinigami for Weapon builds and Curse for Melee/Style.
