If you are looking to dominate the seas in Rogue Piece, you need to know which gear is worth your time. The recent Head of The Hei Update has shaken up the meta, introducing new weapons and rebalancing old favorites. I’ve spent hours testing the latest builds, grinding for drops, and analyzing the damage output of every item to bring you the most comprehensive Rogue Piece Weapons Tier List for March 2026.

In this guide, I will rank every weapon from the absolute S-Tier god-tier items to the useless D-Tier trash. I’ll also walk you through exactly how to get these weapons, including the new additions from the Head of The Hei update. Whether you are grinding for the first time or looking to optimize your PvP build, this is the only guide you need.

Rogue Piece Weapons Tier List: Quick Overview

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty details of every weapon, here is a quick overview table to help you visualize the current meta in the Head of The Hei update.

Tier	Description	Example Weapons
S-Tier	Overpowered, Meta-defining, Must-Have	Cursed Dual Katana, Soul Guitar, Dark Dagger
A-Tier	Very Strong, Viable for Endgame	Buddy Sword, Spikey Trident, Refined Slingshot
B-Tier	Average, Good for Mid-game	Triple Dark Blade, Koko, Gravity Cane
C-Tier	Below Average, Niche Use	Pipe, Triple Katana, Bisento
D-Tier	Weak, Avoid Using	Classic, Cutlass, Metal Pipe

Understanding the Head of The Hei Update Meta

The Head of The Hei Update introduced significant changes to weapon scaling and combo potential. In previous updates, raw damage was the only metric that mattered. However, in 2026, Speed and Hitbox size are just as important.

The new “Hei” weapons introduced in this patch generally have faster cooldowns but require more precise aiming. This guide has been updated to reflect these changes. I have personally tested these weapons in both PvE (Grinding) and PvP (Player vs Player) scenarios to ensure the rankings are accurate.

Note: Rankings are based on maxed stats.

S-Tier Weapons: The Godly Choices

These are the weapons you should be aiming for. If you have any of these in your inventory during March 2026, you are in a very strong position.

1. Cursed Dual Katana (CDK)

The Cursed Dual Katana remains the king of swords in Rogue Piece. Despite the Head of The Hei update adding new competitors, nothing beats the sheer combo potential and damage of CDK.

Why it’s S-Tier: It has incredible range, massive damage output, and the “X” move breaks Instinct (Observation Haki) easily.
Best For: PvP combos and One-shotting Bosses.

2. Soul Guitar

Since the Head of The Hei update, the Soul Guitar has received a buff to its hitbox. It is arguably the best gun in the game right now.

Why it’s S-Tier: It has amazing mobility (allows you to fly), high damage, and the “Z” move stuns enemies for a long time.
Best For: Air combos and mobility.

3. Dark Dagger

Don’t let the size fool you; the Dark Dagger is a monster in the right hands. It was added recently and has quickly climbed to the top of the tier list.

Why it’s S-Tier: The fastest click speed in the game. It breaks through blocks effortlessly and shatters Instinct faster than almost any other weapon.
Best For: Aggressive PvP players.

4. God Human (Fighting Style)

While technically a fighting style, God Human functions as your primary “weapon” for clicking. The Head of The Hei update made it essential for grinding.

Why it’s S-Tier: Huge hitbox, incredible knockback control, and low cooldowns.
Best For: Grinding and PvP mix-ups.

A-Tier Weapons: Strong and Reliable

These weapons are excellent. They might fall just short of S-Tier due to slightly higher cooldowns or smaller hitboxes, but they will carry you through the game easily.

1. Buddy Sword

The Buddy Sword is a fan favorite. It looks cool and hits hard.

Why it’s A-Tier: Great damage and the “V” move (The Buddy Finisher) is a screen-wide nuke that deals massive damage.
Best For: Grinding mobs and clearing Raids.

2. Spikey Trident

A classic weapon that got a slight rework in the Head of The Hei update.

Why it’s A-Tier: It has decent range and the ability to bleed enemies, dealing damage over time.
Best For: Mid-game grinding.

3. Refined Slingshot

This might look like a joke weapon, but the Refined Slingshot is deadly.

Why it’s A-Tier: It has infinite range (if you aim high enough) and stuns opponents on hit. Great for keeping enemies at bay.
Best For: Sniping and annoyance tactics in PvP.

B-Tier Weapons: The Middle Ground

These weapons are “okay.” They are good for the mid-game but you will likely replace them once you reach the Third Sea (or the equivalent late-game area in Rogue Piece).

1. Triple Dark Blade

A flashy sword that looks intimidating but lacks the speed of the S-Tier katanas.

Why it’s B-Tier: High damage per hit but very slow swing speed. You can get punished easily in PvP if you miss a click.

2. Koko

A decent sword with good range, but it lacks the “oomph” of the S-Tier weapons.

Why it’s B-Tier: Good for grinding, but the moves are easily dodged in PvP by skilled players.

3. Gravity Cane

Useful for movement but lacks in damage compared to the Buddy Sword.

Why it’s B-Tier: The flight ability is nice, but the damage output falls off in late-game.

C-Tier and D-Tier: Weapons to Avoid

I recommend skipping these weapons unless you are collecting them for your inventory.

C-Tier: Pipe, Triple Katana, and Bisento. These are outdated. The Triple Katana was good in the past, but the Head of The Hei update power-creep has left it behind.
D-Tier: Classic, Cutlass, and Metal Pipe. These are starter weapons. There is no reason to use them unless you are doing a challenge run.

How To Get The Best Weapons? (Step-by-Step Process)

Now that you know what to get, here is how to actually get them. I have broken down the acquisition methods for the top S-Tier and A-Tier weapons.

How to Get Cursed Dual Katana? (CDK)

This is the hardest weapon to obtain in the game, but it is worth the grind.

Prerequisites: You must have V4 (or the highest evolution) of the game’s race system (e.g., Human, Fishman, Skypian).
Step 1: Obtain Cursed Dual Katana Blue Version. This is usually dropped by a specific Raid Boss or purchased with a high-value currency like “Valuables” or “Fragments” from a mysterious vendor. (Check the Secret Island in the Second Sea).
Step 2: Max Mastery. You need to max out the mastery of the Blue version.
Step 3: The Recipe. You need to find the “Cursed Chef” NPC. He will ask for specific rare items dropped by Elite Pirates in the Head of The Hei area.
Step 4: Craft it. Once you have the items, return to the chef to craft the true CDK.

How to Get Soul Guitar?

The Soul Guitar is a quest-based weapon, not just a random drop.

Step 1: Defeat the Ghosts in the Haunted Castle area until you get a “Dropped Guitar Part.”
Step 2: Travel to the Floating Sky Island. Find the Mad Scientist NPC.
Step 3: He will give you a quest to defeat 50 enemies using only Electric moves.
Step 4: Once completed, you must buy the “Ghostly Essence” from the商人 (Merchant) for 5,000,000 Cash.
Step 5: Return to the Scientist, and he will give you the Soul Guitar.

How to Get Dark Dagger? (Head of The Hei Update Exclusive)

This is the newest weapon added in the update.

Location: Go to the new “Hei’s Fortress” island added in the latest patch.
Boss: Defeat the “Head of The Hei” Boss. Note: He has a 5% spawn rate, so you might need to server hop.
Drop Chance: The Dark Dagger has a 1% drop chance.
Pro Tip: Use a Blox Fruit that provides AoE (Area of Effect) damage, like Dough or Venom, to clear his minions quickly so you can focus on the boss.

How to Get Buddy Sword?

Location: Go to the Buddy Arena (usually found in the First Sea or early Second Sea).
Cost: You can buy the Buddy Sword directly from the Buddy Leader for 1,500,000 Cash and 500 Gems.
Alternative: There is a small chance to get it from the Buddy Raid reward chest.

Pro Tips for the Head of The Hei Update

To maximize your efficiency in 2026, here are some strategies I use when grinding for these weapons:

Farm with Friends: The drop rates for weapons like the Dark Dagger are abysmal. Playing in a private server with friends allows you to spawn the boss faster and cover more ground.
Stat Distribution: For CDK and Soul Guitar, put all your points into Melee and Defense. Sword stats are okay, but Melee damage usually boosts your Fighting Style (God Human), which you will use more often.
Save Your Resources: Don’t waste your “Fragments” or “Currencies” on A-Tier weapons if you are close to S-Tier. It’s better to save up for that one big purchase (like buying items for the CDK recipe).
Watch for Events: The Head of The Hei Update might introduce weekend events where drop rates are doubled. Keep an eye on the official Rogue Piece Discord (linked below) to catch these events.

Comparison: Swords vs. Guns

One of the most common questions I get is: “Should I use a Sword or a Gun?”

In the current Head of The Hei meta:

Swords (like CDK) are better for Combo Extending. If you land the first hit, a sword user can usually trap an opponent until they are dead.
Guns (like Soul Guitar) are better for Mobility and Spacing. They are harder to master, but a skilled gun user can defeat a sword user by never letting them get close.

My Recommendation: If you are a beginner, go with Swords. They are easier to use. If you are an advanced player looking to style on opponents, go with Guns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the best weapon in Rogue Piece right now?

A: As of March 2026, the Cursed Dual Katana (CDK) is widely considered the best weapon due to its high damage and ability to break Instinct. The Soul Guitar is a very close second.

A: The Head of The Hei Boss spawns randomly in the Hei’s Fortress area. You can increase your chances by killing the NPCs around the fortress. He usually spawns every 15-20 minutes.

Conclusion

The Head of The Hei Update has been a fantastic refresh for Rogue Piece, bringing the Dark Dagger into the meta and shaking up the rankings. While the Cursed Dual Katana still sits on the throne, the gap is closing, and weapons like the Soul Guitar offer viable alternatives for different playstyles.

I hope this Rogue Piece Weapons Tier List helps you decide what to grind for next. Remember, the best weapon is the one that fits your playstyle, but you can’t go wrong with an S-Tier pick!

Good luck grinding, and I hope you see that drop soon
