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.

Best Race: If you’re using a Meta Weapon/Style simply choose the race that buffs that style for the best DPS. If you’re not using a Meta Spec, then the higher-rarity races might still have higher damage bonuses overall even compared to the special races of lower-tier weapons/styles (Check Trello for exact numbers).

Best Outfit: Pick the outfit matching your spec from Yhwach/Miyabi/Moon Kimono/Limitless/Sukuna/Sung (Alternatively, look for the best Strength or Weapon stat depending on your spec).

B-Tier Specs

Specs	Ranking Reasons	How to Get
Raiden Weapon	• Competes with Aizen for the highest DPS spec for mid-game • Pole-arm is single-target focused and then you switch to sword mode for AOE bursts • Overall Shadow and Aizen are a bit smoother to use since Raiden requires switching modes which is a bit of animation bloat • The best spec to farm high-tier specs Buffed by:  • God of Eternity Title (From Raiden boss)  • Archon Race	Frostborn Island Raiden Seller NPC Left of spawn • Requires Archon Race • Requires drops from the Raiden boss in her Plane of Euthymia Portal Raid • To enter the Raid, use the Shrine Key dropped from Snow Bandits at FrostBorn (Or exchange for it at Monument Isle Tower Exchange NPC at the bottom) Mastery Raiden Mastery NPC at the back of FrostBorn Island • Q1: God of Eternity [Title] from Raiden boss • Q2: Archon (Race) • Q3: Deal 1B Damage with Raiden Weapon • Q4: Clear Plane of Euthymia Raid 15 times

Rimuru Melee/Style	• The weakest B-Tier along with Tensa Zangetsu going upwards of 8M damage • It’s a grind to get it and it’s decently worth it • That said I would maybe skip it and get Raiden/Aizen to farm high-tiers Buffed by:  • Demon Lord Title (From Rimuru boss)  • Slime Race (Guide ->)	Fossil Island Rimuru NPC to the right of spawn on the stone “beach” • Requires Slime Race which you can get by using the Slime item dropped from Rimuru boss • Requires both drops from the Rimuru boss and items from the Slime Exchange NPC near spawn Mastery Rimuru Mastery NPC on top of the cliff at the back of Fossil Island • Q1: Get the Demon Lord Title from the Rimuru boss • Q2: Kill any 5000 mobs with anything (AFK Recommended)
Tensa Zangetsu Weapon	• A decent alternative to Gojo/Sukuna if you want to go for a Sword build mid-to-late game • That said the moves are better for me in terms of smoothness so I rank TZ as the best legendary Buffed by: • Substitute Shinigami Title from Ichigo (Bankai)	Hueco Mundo Tensa Zangetsu NPC • Get Zangetsu from base Ichigo NPC • Defeat Ichigo (Bankai) 10 times • Buy it using Hollow Mask which is a drop from Ichigo (Bankai) Mastery Tensa Zangetsu Mastery NPC • Get Substitute Shinigami Title from Ichigo (Bankai) • Get Shinigami or True Shinigami Race (True S. from True.
