Ranking EVERY Cuphead Weapon 

Play the level "Perilous Pier" You'll see how broken "trash" weapons are Chaser and Chalice heart special saved me

The Heart Special also helps if you wanna beat the P-rank runs of all the dang run and gun levels.

Heart special is my fav super

Literally depending on how many parries and meter you get in, it's infinite health. They cant stack but you can basically have infinite health if you're efficient with your meter.

it depends on the situation, sometimes on certain bosses, your right, but on others, no

Ehh still tho not evreyone will agree on the same thing he jest says what he thinks he’s not saying yours is wrong

Godzilla had a stroke reading these and died*

roundabout can be very situational, twist up is too, but in my opinion kinda better.

@@furrydumbass roundabout is def mot situational

ITS SHOTS FASTER THEN ROUNDAUBOUT (roundabout fire rate is 0.22 sconds 22 millaseconds btw whille twist up is 0.2 seconds per shot and thats 20 LESS millaseconds just saying )

Lobber is good, if the boss isn't above you... because lobbed actually has really good damage...

but B is fine if it is only great at platform bosses

Once I realized just how useful the lobber was, I started using it all of the time and the game became much easier for me.

@@MoundShroudCreations i fell in love with the charge and the roundabout. felt like every boss those 2 weapons are strong

Me too. For me they're the best couple of weapons as in they are the most versatile couple for range & damage, only tied in versatilty to chaser/spread (at least in the vanilla game) ​@@alwaysjarron6260

Bro turned a video into a written documentary

@@fuze-tom9721 😊

Thank you

@@Air_Pillow i hope you saw my comment on the video, no? Ok here it is Twist up argument rebuttal nobody asked for: (This is not slander I'm just going to say this to make a point) [Aim diagonally] Aiming diagonally requires the RB control, which pauses Cuphead. When the boss attacks, you will have to move. It doesn't even do enough damage since you have to constantly dodge attacks and cannot aim diagonally. (In bosses in front of you that is, but this is his solution for these bosses.) Plus, if you aim diagonally, it will mostly just hit the ground before the boss and disappear. [If the three twisters hit, it will have the same damage output as roundabout, so it is not worse] In his footage you can notice barely any twisters hit and it is sort of infrequent. Plus, you end up hitting the boss far more with the roundabout. The roundabout is much more useful in more situations (Like the Chef S. phase 2.) [It's not very situational, you have to aim better, and you can use it for many bosses] Well most of the time you have to get up close to get all the twisters to hit, at this point just use spread. Aiming is very difficult and it isn't worth it, and it only hits the boss for a few occasions, and even then, it's not the best weapon. Here is all the bosses he says are good for, and my rebuttal. [Root Pack] How so? You can't aim diagonally, or it will hit the floor and disappear. The only way to hit the potato and onion is to go close to them, but the spread just does more damage. I can see people thinking the carrot is good for twist-up, but you are constantly moving left and right so only a few twisters will hit. Even spread is easier to use, jumping and aiming up with it does a ton on damage, it deals with mini carrots too. When he zaps, just move and continue doing damage in between zaps! Also, Crack-shot is also very good, because it hits a lot and the uncracked parts do a lot more damage and still hit. [Cagney Carnation] Just no. This time you can aim diagonally, but it is still hard to use and my first point about it still stands. I can never see anyone thinking this is the weapon they will equip for this boss (and many other bosses), because they're are so many better ones. [Ribby and Croaks] You never get a good chance to hit. Just use spread, roundabout, or crack-shot. [Baroness Von Bon Bon] This is mediocre, but it doesn't deal with most of the mini bosses as well as others, plus the last phase is just no. [Beppi The Clown] It may work, but spread is way better. [Rumor Honneybottoms] The first and last phase is not viable for twist-up, but the second phase barely works for it. [Captain Briney-Beard] It sounds like it would work, but you're not hitting him that much. [Werner Werman] It isn't good for the first phase, its fine for half the second phase, and it's pretty good for the last phase. You can use the spread for second phase and the last phase, but it is still good. No shot I'm using it for this boss fight though. [Phantom Express] It's situational for this fight. The first phase is bad, the second phase sound like it would be good, but it's less viable than the spread, same with the third phase. But for the final phase, just use crack-shot. [Chips Bettigan] It sounds good, but you shouldn't equip it because the rest of the fight is harder with it. [Pip and Dot] The conveyor belt pushes you too far away. [Hopus Pocus] Most of the fight, you have to be on the card, do you could be doing more damage. [Pirouletta] Same problem with Chips Bettigan. Also spread works way better, plus if you don't have smoke bomb it's useless. [Mangosteen] You are moving back and forth? Yes, so it will not hit. Plus you could go towards the middle with spread to have more time to react to the chalk. [King Dice] Yeah, you are moving back and forth. The twisters will hit less than spread anyways. [The Devil] I hope you see a pattern, the reason he says it is could for a lot of fight is because it is close to you, so the twisters will hit. But same with spread. Also the first phase isn't good for twist up is because you move back and forth. [Glumb-Stone the Giant] The first phase isn't good, I already explained why aiming diagonally isn't good. The second phase is just roundabout or spread. The third phase, you are moving a lot, and so is where you need to hit. It cannot hit very much. [Moonshine Mob] It doesn't hit in the first phase, same with the second phase and... same with the third phase. Why would you ever use it on this fight? [Howling Aces] You are moving, and the boss is moving, so it don't do enough damage. That applies to the first and second phase. Also never use it on the third phase. That is because you aren't going to hit her, unless you're up close, but just use the spread then. Also the screen is sideways she it right above you and the twist-up doesn't go exactly above you. You cannot aim because you have to dodge. [Mortimer Freeze] For the first phase, You are moving, and the boss is moving, almost no damage. Also, it is pretty obvious why you wouldn't bring it to the other phases. [Chef Saltbaker] The first phase it bullet hell, so you aren't hitting very many shots. The second phase is outranked spread and roundabout once again. Do not use it for the other two phases, it won't go well. [Angel and Demon] Hmmm... I wonder why he says this. Maybe because you go up close. I wonder what weapon does that better, and PotatoKing said it was worse on the tier list... Hmmm. Finally, I finished that! Anyways lets go back to his argument. [Those bosses can be dealt with pretty efficiently!] Only like two or three can. That makes it.... SITUATIONAL! It would still be difficult to beat these bosses only with twist-up. At least if you had to beat them with spread, that would be a whole lot easier- yet he still puts spread under twist-up. [More than half the bosses in the game, still you think it's unviable?] I explained why it isn't effective to those bosses. Plus using twist-up is never the best choice for one of your shots in a boss. In conclusion, this Potato thinks it is better than spread, that isn't true. Spread does more damage, and mostly to hit with twist-up you have to go close. When a boss is above you, you still don't hit much. I don't even think he uses twist up as his weapon a lot (Because it is never the best choice.)

Spread is like a shotgun. Useful for close range and large enemies, useless at longer range

ok

Yes.

So basically: Phase 3 Root Pack Phase 3 Goopy (if you are good) Phase 4 Beppi Phase 3 Werner King Dice Phase 2/3/4 Devil Phase 1 Chef Saltbaker

Spread EX and whetstone in my opinion are comparable when talking about DPS. Whetstone is really spamable and does good damage for it's speed WHEN USED CORRECTLY. But, it's really easy to learn correctstone to do lots of dmg when used with crackshot, lobber, chaser, or roundabout.

Lobber in my opinion is great

Great on bootleg boogie because the higher you are, the more the bounce. I call it 'charging the shot', since it is essentially what you are able to do when the enemy isn't present. Full charge would then be the maximum number of projectiles possible. Roundabout has the same feature as well.

Also lobber is perfect for moonshine mob because you can shoot down through the bridge

Lobber EX has the highest damage in the game, I S-ranked the devil with Charge, Lobber, Super 3, And Cookie. If i wanted to use an ex (1st and second phase), I would quickly switch to lobber, use an ex, then switch back to charge. Edit: Twist Up actually has the best ex

And then this dude is singing for twist up

Definitely, I agreed with his whole list until that, you pull up to a parry heavy fight like salt baker and u Ainu dying

Well in total with chalice you have 6 health Chalice 4 health Plus the heart Plus have 5 cards for another heart While CUPHEAD is better for S because CUPHEAD 3 health Heart ring Then invincibility

I personally feel that getting S ranks with extra hearts is like cheating haha so I avoid it (I'm a masochist)

@@nicker10yearsago21 any it’s possiable

@@tvcya2097 the thing is chalice can technically have infinite hp if you just keep parrying

its synchronised with your movements , if you use it to full extent you get a ex move recharging heart

Thank you for saying this, I thought the same thing but I feel like I would’ve gotten a lot of backlash if I said it also, you are universally right about the shield thing

I think every weapon is better than twist up tbh, also I agree with you on the shield pal super.

it has slightly more dps than peashooter, but unless you are aiming you are probably going to miss more shots. also the ex move is a worse version of peashooter's. its dps is way worse than spread's so it cant really be an alternative to it. i can only see converge as a viable option against bosses that spawn a lot of enemies, but even then there are better alternatives like roundabout, which stays on screen for far longer which helps with dealing with enemies. i see your point with it being a combination between peashooter and spread, but by combining them you get a result that is lackluster in both departments. what i can clearly see with weapons tho, is that the general stats or what the most viable option for each boss is doesnt matter as long as you like that weapon. what i mean by that is that even tho a weapon isnt the best for a specific boss, if you like it, or feel confident in using it, then u can use it, justy like potato king likes twist up and considers it to be viable in a lot of scenarios, when in reality there are better options for almost all the bosses he mentions. with all of these, he is good at using the weapon and he seems to like using it, so it doesnt matter that it isnt the best option. if it works for you, then yes, converge can be good, but from an objective point of view i find it mediocre.

Ikr it does the most damage out of all of the shots

⁠​⁠@@Viper57582if you gotta dodge an attack tho then you lose the charge and you gotta use it more sparingly since it can’t hit through enemies (i think) and you gotta make extra sure you can hit it while staying out of damage/putting yourself in a bad spot

@@Thing_of_somes it can’t hit through enemies like the converge but can you name other ones and I pretty sure I use it in good places like 2nd stage chef saltbaker

@@Viper57582 yeah but the thing with other shots is that they are rapid fire so they can hit enemies while still keeping their dps basically the same

@@Thing_of_somes converge all three shots dps is the same not any rapid fire

I only beat Khal's Robot because of whetstone. It's amazing against robot phase.

I personally use Whetstone in the plane fights after using my super on the boss... it gives me some invincibility for me to use it safely and to get a little extra damage in on the boss. The extra damage is not much but I always find it satisfying when I pull it off.

Run and guns. Pirate piers

I never used whetstone but to me a parry already is a attack since it destroys your target

@@manpersonthehuman2681 I didnt ask whatsoever and do not care

, n😊😊😊 lnn😊inlj Jjivill

Definitly And by faar the best super for s ranking bosses

Twin heart although takes up the space for chalice not allowing to use her second super.

Super 2 for cuphead/mugman paired with wetstone + projectile damage = high dps

You Just Summarised My Entire Strategy, I Also Use Charge As My Second Shot

yes

😊

Does it work with spread too?

It don’t for ranking, it does give you hearts with heart ring though

It does deserve it, its a good weapon

It's because there are so many better options and you need to get close to bosses to accually hit them cause of the way the twist up works

​@@abhikergaming7783 might as well just bring spread

Ya

Everything's an opinion.

I might be late but yeah dude is so biased towards twist up he literally called everyone bad for not knowing how to use it

But the tier list was actually a picture, so i can understand why he did that.

i use it on the ice wizard first and last phase, it's pretty good for clearing the ice minions and the last phase has a large enough hit box to hit most of the bullets

@@thestateofyum6991same here! It’s what got me through s-ranking mortimer freeze within the time limit, killed his first phase super fast! People gotta stop sleeping on converge lol

@DarkCoreX yeah its trash

Why do people like this shot it’s outclassed by everything it’s even worse than an uncharged charge attack

Twist up is a good weopon to beat king dice to beat the mini boss 2

The weapons aren’t bad, the users are

@@Cyberfox237 I’ve beaten the game 200% dlc 100% and I can say with certainty that twist up is useless

I only used Crackshot and Spread but now I use Crackshot and Roundabout

In fact, i think that is good, at least crackshot dont destroy chaser

Well point the crackshot with lock then it will more likely shoot there

@@andryusgustavo9148 you got a good point. If it was a true homing shot, or perfect with minions, chaser would literally have no use.

@@Deadshade yeah, that would help. There just some instances where you don’t have time to lock on(expert Mortimer Freeze is on crack). But Crackshot is still an S tier weapon to me, and almost always my go to in fights

It was useful for the last phase for Sally stage.

Both the spread and chaser are better than twist up in goopy

Yes you do, you just get shit recommendations I guess

his voice though 😬😬

@@eenie7880 What about his voice? He just sounds like a typical zoomer guy.

@@derekrequiem4359 he sounds so nasally and he’s got some sorta speech impediment 😭😭😭 overall he just sounds like 🤓 and i could not listen to that no matter how good the edits are

Do you think whetstone allows you to parry anything?

Yeah it's also good in the run and gun levels and the devil 2 and 3 phase plus mni bosses

@@clintonanderson7436 It allows you to parry any enemy plus it does above average damage to the enemy and it's a 1 shot kill on enemys in run and gun levels apart mini bosses

@@abhikergaming7783 ik all that. I asked that question because they're phrasing and what they mentioned implies that any projectile can be affected by whetstone.

@@clintonanderson7436 AH I see

Literally that’s the only super I use

thats what im saying

Agreed, the Super was done dirty :(

still... 3 seconds per 41 damage is quite alot

Spread îs mediocre

@mihaimercenarul7467 no it's not

@@henischick yes it is, go back to bed, child

@mihaimercenarul7467 boy it's 11 pm

It was hard to balance on it

At least somone said the truth

Agree

With this heart special you can even do Pacifist run without taking ANY damage

As long as u dont disagree with roundaboit

You’re just bad

fr

The thing is, it looked like he only ranked twist up an S tier weapon based on player skill, which I personally don't think is an objective measurement you can use to determine how good something is or is not. This makes judging these sorts of things tricky at best, since the mileage you get out of it depends heavily on a variety of factors, such as how good you are at the game and how much you've practiced with it to improve your own skills, thus making this type of thing something that I believe can't be measured objectively when you have to take someone's skill into account

Twist should just be an A tier

close your mouth sir

roundabout should be d tier imo, whetstone and charge in s.

I agree it and spread are good Melee attack

Finally, someone that thinks whetstone is good

@@beatboxingleprechaun9676 It's good on run and gun levels(i'm talking about whetstone) it's good on flying bosses aswell and the potato in the root pack gang

I agree that’s how I beat the devil and king dice pretty easily wow Wheatstone is great

@@kirstybaird4194 I wouldn't say great. I would probably say "good" or "decent". It's pretty good for some fights but only for SOME fights.

@@beatboxingleprechaun9676 It can be great. Super 1, for example, locks you out of using your regular projectile (can't shoot both at same time). With super 2 on cuphead or mugman, you can wetstone a boss on super and shoot projectiles at same time,, doing massive damage.

Yup

Ye

Yes

Tru dat

This indeed deserves more credit.

Yes

if you are fighting against drs kahl's robot you can destroy the little antenna in an instant with whetstone. ITS REALLY GOOD

I think that's the one thing on this list that people are commonly calling him out for. Even the debate on if Twist-Up is really S-Tier is more understandable than this.
