The dungeon crawler Minecraft experience is finally here. Yesterday Mojang expanded the horizon of its beloved product Minecraft, by launching Minecraft Dungeons. The game ditches Minecraft’s original sandbox gameplay for a more Diablo like experience. That being said, it still encapsulates the essence of its parent game.
What is Minecraft without cool weapons and mob slaying? You don’t have to answer, it’s a rhetorical question. Minecraft Dungeons takes just that and dials it up to eleven! The game features tons of exciting new weapons which are satisfying to use. Infact the roster of weapons is so large that we are here to make a top 5 list. Before we progress any further, be sure to check out our take on creating some powerful Minecraft Dungeons builds.
#5. Guardian Bow
This is a fantastic choice for a ranged weapon as the Guardian Bow is highly powerful. It possesses a high base damage and a couple of extra abilities which are sure to come in handy in troublesome situations.
Before firing, charge up your shot to deal a massive amount of damage due to the Super Charged Arrow attribute this bow possesses.
#4. Red Snake Bow
The Red Snake Bow is a nice alternative for the Guardian Bow. Although it has a low base damage it more than makes up for it by creating a chance that the arrow would explode upon hitting it’s target. The chance is purely random but upon an explosion it inflicts twice the damage as an AOE attack.
This bow is great for clearing out a bunch of hostile mobs. However be sure to not enchant it with Piercing as you would not want your arrows to pierce through a wall of enemies and explode somewhere where there are none.
#3. Dark Katana
In the real world, the Japanese Sword Katana is considered an elite weapon for a plenty of good reasons. Same is the case with its Minecraft variant. The Dark Katana is a powerful sword with a high base damage. More good news is that it deals extra damage to undead mobs such as zombies and skeletons, which are found a lot in the game.
#2. Frost Scythe
In our Minecraft Dungeons Best Build guide, we covered how Soul builds are one of the coolest builds in the game. The Frost Scythe is a great weapon for that build as when it is paired up with the Soul Robe or the Frost Bite armour, gathering souls becomes an easy task.
You will be able to use your artifact more often with all the souls you have gathered. Along with that, the Frost Scythe slows down enemies making them an easy target for you to hack and slash your way through.
#1. Elite Power Bow
The Elite Power Bow falls short of base damage when compared to the Guardian Bow, but the Greater Damage perk balances it out. Unlike the Red Snake Bow on this list, the Elite Power Bow is a great option to be enchanted with Piercing. Line up your enemies and take them out one file at a time!
Minecraft Dungeons is very young in terms of its release hence this list is subject to updates. Be sure to check on us when any updates drop for more Minecraft Dungeons and original Minecraft content.
