The strongest Hytale weapons in survival mode

How weapons work in Hytale

A finished weapon class in Hytale has the following combat logic:

• Left mouse button (M1): Main attack
• Hold left mouse button (M1): Secondary attack
• Right mouse button (M2): Block (or third attack)
• Right mouse button (M2) + left mouse button (M1): Quick melee
• Q button: Ultimate/signature attack

Throwing and tactical items are an exception. These are simply thrown, have an effect that weakens and disappears, and then there is a possible cooldown.

Strongest Hytale weapons in Survival mode

Adamantite Sword – THE all-rounder for damage + defense

• Type: Melee + 1H
• Strength: One-handed swords are a stable overall package and impress with fast combos, charged lunges, the possibility of block/defensive tactics, and ultimate attacks
• Station: Blacksmith's Anvil on Tier 3
• Materials: 11x Adamantite Ingots, 4x Heavy Leather, and 3x Cindercloth Scraps

Adamantite Daggers – DPS Speedrun Deluxe

• Type: Melee + 2H
• Strength: Daggers in Hytale offer incredibly fast animations, give you mobility through charged moves, and have a powerful ultimate for quickly getting away from enemies.
• Station: Blacksmith's Anvil at Tier 3
• Materials: 9x Adamantite Ingots, 3x Heavy Leather, and 3x Cindercloth Scraps

Adamantite Battle Axe – maximum Damage per Swing

• Type: Melee + 2H
• Strength: The battle axe in Hytale is heavy and rather sluggish, but brutal. The Charged Move and Ultimate are a perfect combination when you need to land a hit
• Station: Blacksmith's Anvil at Tier 3
• Materials: 16x Adamantite Ingots, 5x Heavy Leather, and 3x Cindercloth Scraps

Adamantite Mace – control entire groups

• Type: Melee + 2H
• Strength: The Adamantite Mace is particularly effective in Hytale when you want to control groups. A pack of wolves wants to get you? No problem. The Jump Slam and Charged Swings won't let you down.
• Station: Blacksmith's Anvil at Tier 3
• Materials: 16x Adamantite Ingots, 5x Heavy Leather, and 3x Cindercloth Scraps

Adamantite Shortbow – from a safe distance

• Type: Ranged + 2H
• Strength: Whether you start out with the Crude Shortbow or its Adamantite version, a shortbow is always a good choice in Hytale. The Charged Shots with Triple Shot Ultimate mean you can control your enemies from a distance. What's more, ammunition is very simple, at least for now: Crude Arrows.
• Station: Blacksmith's Anvil at Tier 3
• Materials: 11x Adamantite Ingots, 3x Heavy Leather, and 3x Cindercloth Scraps

Ice Crystal Staff – as a bonus from WIP

• Type: Melee + Ranged + Magic + 2H
• Strength: When charged, the ice staff shoots ice from a distance and freezes enemies. However, it can also be used in melee combat. Currently still in WIP, but playable.
• Station: Arcanist Table
• Materials: 1x Sapphire, 8x Silver Ingots, 10x Azure Logs, and 20x Essence of Ice

Flame Crystal Staff – as a bonus from WIP

• Type: Ranged + Magic + 2H
• Strength: Unlike the Ice Crystal Staff, the strength of the Flame Crystal Staff lies solely in its range. When charged, it shoots fireballs at enemies, creating a heated atmosphere.
• Station: Arcanist Table
• Materials: 1x Ruby, 6x Silver Ingots, 8x Gold Ingots, and 20x Essence of Fire

Note: The ammunition for the two magic staffs made of ice and fire consists of the corresponding essence. So far, there is no ultimate ability, but this is all in WIP and will certainly provide even more fun soon.

Strongest Hytale weapons in Creative mode

This part of the GPORTAL blog about the strongest Hytale weapons is all about relentless power. The following weapons are currently (as of the end of January 2026) NOT regularly available in Survival mode in Hytale. If you want to try out and play with these weapons, you'll have to do so in Creative mode or spawn them.

Mithril weapons as a powerful upgrade

Mithril is not currently available in Survival mode in Hytale, so any weapon that requires Mithril is Creative or Admin gear. So far, the strongest material is Adamantite, which you can already find and mine in Hytale.

However, if you are in Creative mode, you can craft the following weapons from Mithril:

• Sword
• Daggers
• Short bow
• Mace
• Battle axe
• Longsword

The materials you need to craft these weapons, in addition to Mithril, are slightly different from the resources required for the Adamantite weapons listed above. In addition to Mithril Ingots, you will also need Storm Leather and Voidheart.

Pistols & rifles for more fun in Hytale

Pistols and rifles have recently become available in Hytale Early Access, but only in Creative mode. In addition, firearms currently also use Crude Arrows as ammunition. You can test the following Hytale firearms:

• Rifle
• Blunderbuss
• Handgun
• Pistol

Long swords for high damage

Two-handed long swords are also already available in Early Access, but so far only in Creative mode. The best ones are said to be the following long swords:

• Mithril Longsword
• Onyxium Longsword
• Flame Longsword

Choosing the strongest Hytale weapon

Which weapon is really THE strongest in Hytale always depends on your personal playing style, of course. If you prefer close combat, then daggers or battle axes are your best choice.

But would you rather fight from a safe distance? Then check out the short bow and take advantage of charged shots and triple shots. The sword is definitely a true all-rounder. It allows you to attack with one hand and defend yourself with a shield in the other. Dance with your opponents and show your strength.
