The Performance Improvements of Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 4 Finally Address The Most Critical IssuesOver the past few years, we have seen various performance improvements promised in patch notes, only to find that these improvements were so minor that they made no difference. Given the long-standing performance issues in Monster Hunter Wilds, there is obvious skepticism surrounding the "over 100 performance improvements" arriving tomorrow with Title Update 4. Fortunately, fresh comparison videos released directly by CAPCOM confirm that these optimization steps are significant. The two comparison videos, which can be watched below, compare performance between Title Update 3 and Title Update 4 in three fights against Arkveld, Xu Wu, and Lagiacrus on the recommended […]

Rogue Piece Tier List – Swords, Specs, Races, Traits [DEC16] Updated on December 16, 2025 : Added new swords, specs, traits and races from the MHA, Tokyo Ghoul and The Misfit of Demon King Academy updates. I'm ranking all Swords, Combat Specs, Fruits, Races and Traits in Rogue Piece so that you can make the best build. This tier list will also include equipment tips for all categories as well as how to get everything. Here's my ultimate early-mid-late PVP/PVE Rogue Piece tier list for everything in the game . Table of contents Rogue Piece Combat Spec and Fruit Tier List SSS-Tier Specs & Fruits S-Tier Specs & Fruits A-Tier Specs & Fruits B-Tier Specs & Fruits C-Tier Specs & Fruits D-Tier Specs & Fruits Rogue Piece Sword Tier List S-Tier Swords A-Tier Swords B-Tier Swords C-Tier Swords D-Tier Swords Rogue Piece Race Tier List S-Tier Races A-Tier Races B-Tier Races C-Tier Races D-Tier Races Rogue Piece Trait Tier List All Rogue Piece Traits Listed Rogue Piece Combat Spec and Fruit Tier List Image by Destructoid Both Combat Specs and Fruits scale with the Power stat in Rogue Piece (RIP Strength stat). On average, Combat Specs tend to be stronger than swords on average but the Venuzdonoa sword is on another level currently. Fruits are weaker than swords with Light (the strongest fruit) being comparable to A-Tier swords (See above). Let's analyze them individually. Spec & Fruit Tip : These go best with the Power boosting outfits like Aizen's Outfit/Akaza Beads/Garou's Outfit/Shadow Cloak and Demon race for the most Power damage possible. Also get the Soul Spirit Relic for more Power damage which is a rare drop from Chests and a 20% Enchant. SSS-Tier Specs & Fruits SSS-Tier Why SSS-Tier? Location Kaneki • Currently one of the best combat specs in the game • Kaneki has the best M1s among combat specs that are fast, have good range and deal the best damage • Z is mostly for PVE but X and C cover massive AOEs so they're good for both PVE and PVP • Plus they deal massive damage when you full channel X and hit V on bosses or players • Get One Eyed King title from the Kaneki Boss for a 20% damage boost Sandora Island Buy from Kaneki Teacher using materials you farm from Kaneki Boss Farm Kaneki Boss on Abyss Hill Spawn Kaneki boss using Kaneki's Blood from crafting Shadow • In my testing Garou tended to have slightly more DPS (I think because of the Title) but Shadow moves are easier to hit IMO • It's still the top 2 DPS moveset in the entire game Z and C are fast and excellent for PVP • X is a bit slow but is great for PVE • Finally the V is massive AOE damage that is good for both PVP and PVE • Overall Shadow does so much damage that you cannot go wrong with it and the Abyssbreaker damage buff on C is just a cherry on top Rogue Town Buy from Shadow Teacher 1x Core of Shadow 2x Shadow Eye 1x Atomic Core 100x Black Slime All drops from the Shadow boss on Abyss Hill Garou • Fast M1s and a ton of multi-hit attacks for the highest PVP and PVE DPS • There's also great utility here with X i-Frames and two cutscenes with C and V for dodging damage • C and V deal some of the highest damage in the entire game and this gets boosted even further once you get the Garou Outfit and Soul Spirit Relic • Easily outdamages Aizen and Sukuna Get the Hero Hunter Title for 20% more damage Kill Silver Fang Boss 10 times Glacier Isle Get Suiryu from the Garou NPC +Complete quest Defeat 25 Diamond Rank Players Punch 2500 times with Suiryu Then farm Silver Fang Boss on GI for Book of Mastery Finally use Book of Mastery after Quest with Suiryu equipped S-Tier Specs & Fruits S-Tier Why S-Tier? Location Todoroki • While Todoroki doesn't necessarily deal the most damage, it has some of the best combo potential • All the moves chain really well together and most have low CDs • This means that you don't have the best burst damage but have impressive damage-per-second • Overall a really good combat spec but not the best in the game Throne Island Token Exchange One For All • Both One For All and Shigaraki deal really good DPS but I feel like they're a bit slow for PVP • Z has a delayed startup, X is slow to drop and only C and F are any good to hit a player • That said OFA excels in PVE dealing massive damage with V active since it buffs all your moves • Overall, I would use this to grind late-game content but I need to do more fights for PVP for testing since I don't really like it against players so far • Once you unlock V and F it deals more PVE damage than Shigaraki but Shigaraki might be better for PVP Rogue Town One For All Teacher NPC Finish all quests to get it To start the quests you need 10,000 Gems and Diamond+ Rank then talk For Unlocking V and F Finish all quests from Full Cowl NPC at Rogue Town Shigaraki • Similar to OFA where it's excellent damage but slow for PVP due to slow M1s, a start-up on Z and a C grab that can be difficult to hit • That said if you hit these moves you'll deal massive burst damage • V does massive AOE damage though and pulls Shigaraki ahead of OFA for PVP IMO since it's easy to hit • It also has an edge over OFA because the Destroyer title buffs it by 20% Title is a 2.5% Drop from Shigaraki Boss Rogue Town Shigaraki NPC Farm the three Shigaraki Boss resources to buy it The boss spawns using Darkness Spirit at Rogue Town Get Darkness Spirit from crafting Gojo • Gojo doesn't have as much DPS as Garou but it has a lot of stuns and iFrames thanks to the domain expansion on V • It's one of the best PVP specs in the game and excellent for completing the Garou quest • That said it's also good by itself for PVP/PVE Jujutsu Highschool Get from Gojo NPC with materials from the Gojo Boss You also need The Honored One trait Aizen •Aizen overall does more burst damage with his moves than Sukuna but the CDs are longer • Still it's some of 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 • IMO Gojo is better due to iFrames and Stuns and Garou deals more damage so it goes Garou>Gojo>Aizen Defeat 10 Aizen Boss for a damage boost Title Huecomundo Aizen Teacher A-Tier Specs & Fruits A-Tier Why A-Tier? Location Sukuna • Sukuna has lower burst damage than the ones above but 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 • You also get a nice damage boost Defeat 10 Sukuna Boss for a damage boost title Windmill Village Sukuna Teacher On a hill Akaza • 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 Defeat 10 Akaza Boss for a damage boost title Throne Isle Akaza Teacher B-Tier Specs & Fruits B-Tier Why B-Tier? Location Light • The best Fruit/Power in the game both in terms of DPS and mobility (The combat specs and most swords are still better) • 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 Rogue Town Fruit Gacha NPC 2% chance to drop C-Tier Specs & Fruits C-Tier Why C-Tier? Location 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 Rogue Town Fruit Gacha NPC 5% chance to drop Sandevistan • 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 Rogue Town David NPC He's at the back of the island on a hill next to the water Gravity • 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 D-Tier Specs & Fruits D-Tier Why D-Tier? Location Quake • 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 • 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 Sword Tier List Image by Destructoid The best sword in Rogue Piece depends on if you're looking for fast AFK/PVE grinding, high boss damage or PVP. The S-Tier covers all of these needs while the A-Tier are good alternatives. The B-Tier is mostly for PVE grinding and nothing else with Tanjiro having more DPS for bosses while the others have faster movesets/are better for farming. The C and D-Tiers are either underpowered options or good starters for PVE farming. Let's analyze them individually below . Swords Tip : Swords go best with Sword-boosting outfits like Reaper Clothes/Yuta's Outfit/Vampire Suit/Butterfly, Arrancar race for max Sword stat boost, and their respective Titles that boost individual swords. Also get the Broken Edge Relic for more Sword damage as a rare drop from chests and the Blessed Stone for sword damage from the Gojo boss. S-Tier Swords S-Tier Why S-Tier? Location Venuzdonoa • Currently the best DPS sword in the game (damage calculations done with Ancient Spirit and Ancient One) • Z and C are your fast low CD moves that can pull off 600k to 800k damage • X and V are more for PVE since they're slower dealing 1 million to 1.4 million damage which is currently the highest in the game • That said if you land X or V in PVP it's pretty much game over if they don't have Ancient One for defense • Best combined with the Butterfly suit or Solemn Outfit and Demon King of Tyranny title from Anos boss for a 20% boost Roll on the Venuzdonoa Banner with a 1% chance drop Get Crimson Blood from Anos boss for spins Solemn Lament • Overall a very strong and fast weapon • Solemn Lament deals fast burst damage with amazing M1s that have good AOE and range • You can pull off about 600k with Z which is a really good PVP move along with C at 310k because they come out fast • The X charge is good for PVE but deals lower damage than I expected but the V has a nice 750k burst with Ancient Sandora Island Get from the Butterfly Gacha at 1% chance drop Dual Daggers • SJW doesn't have the best DPS in the game anymore but it's still one of the best PVP swords in the game and great for PVE too • This is because of fast M1s and great mobility and iFrames • SJW Daggers give you a lot of flexibility since you have great burst/sustained damage and invincibility • X is such a great move for PVP to get better mobility • You can easily solo bosses with these just make sure you have the recommended loadout above Defeat 10 Sung Jin Woo Boss for a damage boost Title Rogue Town Dual Dagger Seller Abyssbreaker • Abyssbreaker has high DPS worthy of the S-Tier but I've found myself liking it more for PVE • The M1s are slow for PVP but you can still use it for PVP since it has high AOE burst damage • That said it shines in PVE due to the C move which is a massive damage buff • Always start with C and then your V and X moves that deal damage around you will nuke bosses and other players • There's not Title for this sword yet which sucks but it's still S-Tier Abyss Hill Island 0.5% drop from the Abyssal Beast boss Yuta's Katana • Requires a lot of grinding due to the low chance Rika's Ring drop from the Yuta boss but it's incredibly worth since the DPS compares to S-Tier specs • The M1s are fast and the C and V cutscene moves deal massive damage if you can land them • Z and X are fast for mix ups so overall you have both a really good PVP and also a great PVE option with high damage • Plus it has its own title for a damage boost Defeat 20 Yuta Boss for the Title that boosts Yuta's Katana damage Jujutsu Highschool Get Spiritual Katana from Yuta Then grind Yuta Boss until you get the Rika's Ring 1% +Complete Yuta's quest (Defeat 100 Bosses using SK) Then use it while having Spiritual Katana A-Tier Swords A-Tier Why A-Tier? Location Tensa Zangetsu • Zangetsu has finally been buffed with a V2 version and it's now A+/S- • Not the best M1s in the game but the skill damage is massive • It's basically like Abyssbreaker where it's better for PVE than PVP but it deals really good DPS, get the title for optimal numbers • Z and X are really fast and easy to hit and good for PVP • C and V deal massive damage similar to Yuta's Katana so they're amazing for PVE and PVP if you can land htem Kill 10 Arrancar users for the Tensa title for a 20% damage boost Huecomundo From Tensa Zangetsu Seller Pay all the requirements including Zangetsu base + Defeat the Zangetsu Boss (You must be the one to spawn him) Metal Bat • Got a buff but still can't compare to the S-Tiers due to slower M1s and lower DPS • That said the DPS is still A-Tier respectable from V and C mainly • Z and X are good for mob farming while V and C are good for bosses • You can PVP with this weapon but only via skill moves since the M1s aren't the best Rogue Town Fruit Gacha NPC 50% chance to drop Hellsing Dual Pistol • The Pistols got power-crept by all the V2 swords and some of the newer weapons but they're still really good • They're a PVE powerhouse since all the moves deal great damage to bosses • I probably wouldn't use them as much in PVE since most moves have a slow frontal start-up but you'll melt bosses Spooky Island Purchase For 25,000 Candy at the Candy Exchanger B-Tier Swords B-Tier Why B-Tier? Location Gryphon • Only two moves so less DPS than Epics and Tanjiro but they're really fast for farming • 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 Whispering Jungle Just walk straight ahead from the mob Quest NPC Dark Blade • 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 Epics and Tanjiro outdamage it for bosses Glacier Ice On the little ice hill next to Mihawk's Quest NPC Wado • A great alternative to Gryphon and Dark Blade for PVE farming but has slow M1s • The moves come out fast and deal about the same DPS but you're not locked in place with the X move so it's slightly better for PVP Jujutsu Highschool Purchase For $1,000,000 at the Wado Seller Zangetsu • Great AOE damage and range for PVE farming and great for bosses • The moves are a bit slow for PVP though • Basically there's no reason using this since the B-Tiers are better for PVE and A and S-Tiers are better for PVP • Just use it to get Tensa Zangetsu Rogue Town Zangetsu Gacha NPC Tanjiro's Nichirin • Tanjiro's sword has more moves than Dark Blade and Gryphon for more DPS 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 Tensa Zangetsu/Yuta/SJW are better late-game Forge Isle Tanjiro's Seller C-Tier Swords C-Tier Why C-Tier? Location Spiritual Katana • In general it's weaker than the above options for PVE and PVP • That said, even for a Common the Spiritual Katana is really good for PVE grinding • And you should definitely get it because it's a prerequisite for the S-Tier Sword Yuta's Katana Jujutsu Highschool Get from the Yuta NPC D-Tier Swords D-Tier Why D-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 Rogue Piece Race Tier List Image by Destructoid 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 three 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 and B-Tier are situational picks that can be good but underpowered. C-Tier are weak but good for beginners and D are pretty much useless. 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 Cursed Spirit • Requirement for the Gojo spec • You have to kill so many bosses to reach the 1.5x damage buff each time you log in or die so it can be tedious • That said the damage buff is massive and it has no downside once stacked like Demon and Arrancar • Overall the most powerful race but comes with a huge tedious farming requirement • If you don't want to deal with that just go for Demon for Power and Arrancar for Sword builds • Get a 0.02x damage boost each time you kill a boss stacking up to 1.5x as the cap • Reseting your character, leaving the game or dying resets the stacks • Sukuna's Finger also have chance to give you this race which are a drop from the Sukuna Boss on Throne Isle A-Tier Races A-Tier Races Why A-Tier Race Stats • Ghoul is just straight up a better version of Dracula because you get higher lifesteal and it's always on • This allows you to always be prepared for PVP and PVE so that you can out-tank the damage by constantly healing • Overall dealing more damage is always better than tanking more damage so Ghoul is A-Tier since S-Tiers all boost damage a lot • Get 25% global lifesteal that's always on unlike the Dracula race • A 25% chance to get this race from Ghoul Eyes dropped from Kaneki Boss at Abyss Hill B-Tier Races B-Tier Races Why B-Tier Race Stats Dracula • Best B-Tier race • Half of the time it can be really powerful for PVP and PVE tanking • Plus you get a nice little damage boost with the Burn • That said half of the time (during day) you have no race so play around nighttime • Demon/Arrancar are still better overall and Ghoul Lifesteal works all the time • The burn effect is not worth it over Ghoul since Dracula doesn't work half of the time • Gain 20% Lifesteal healing you based on the damage you deal • Get Burn damage on attacks • Both of these effects only work at night • Alucard Blood also has a chance to give you this race which are a drop from the Alucard Boss 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 C-Tier Races C-Tier Races Why C-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 D-Tier Races D-Tier Races Why D-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 Human • No buffs • No buffs Rogue Piece Trait Tier List Image by Destructoid The best traits in Rogue Piece are much easier to determine than Swords or Specs since it's just a simple numbers game. That said damage tends to be the best stat to boost as well as cooldown since most of the game is PVE farming and it's better to kill faster than tank more damage. That's why you'll see that some Traits that boost damage or cooldowns better are placed higher. Here's what each Trait does below . All Rogue Piece Traits Listed Trait & Roll Chance Effects Ancient One (???) Spent 18 milion Gems and still didn't get it • +150% Increase in Damage • +80% Increase in Cooldown • +100% Increase in Defense Limit Breaker (0.1%) • 100% Increase in Damage. • 35% Increase in Cooldown. • 25% Increase in defense.
