Stardew Valley is much more than just farming. Once you step into a location such as The Mines, you can mine, fish, create items, get married, have children, and even participate in battles with various creatures. Needless to say.
Weapons in Stardew Valley come in all shapes and sizes, especially since the initial release, with massive content updates and different perks. Out of all these choices, which one is really the best? In Stardew Valley, the “best weapon” can be subjective based on the player’s playstyle, making a final ranking difficult . However, they can be ranked by the amount of base damage they deal with every swing and any additional benefits the weapon may have.

Also you have to pay 60 Cinder Shards for the process.
Maximum damage for a dagger, 50-70. This doesn’t look like a high yield, but remember it’s a dagger. This means that it can move very quickly. Even with that amount of damage, this weapon is deadly enough.

Haunted Skull Drop (quarry)

7 dwarf hammer
-

Volcano dungeon chest drop
-
A bit mysterious considering that this weapon “produces a very faint growling sound”, it seems to serve its purpose well. It does damage and has the additional benefits of +2 Defense and +5 Weight.
It’s exclusive to another volcano dungeon, so if you want the Dwarven Hammer in your collection, you’ll have to open a lot of chests. Like many weapons in the game, the selling price of the Dwarven Hammer is very high for its value, only 650 grams when sold to Marlon of the Adventurer’s Guild.
6 galaxy hammer

The Galaxy Hammer is exclusive to Adventurer’s Guild members. After discovering the Galaxy Sword, it can be purchased for 75,000g. Its damage is 70-90 and boasts a +2 speed stat and a +5 weight stat.
Technically a club, the Galaxy Hammer moves a bit slower, but has a wider range and can hit enemies from a distance. It’s like a Whack-A-Mole game, especially when you’re surrounded by enemies from all sides. Additionally, the speed stat helps balance this move, making it a great high-level weapon to use.
Five dragon fang cutlass

how to get:
-
Volcano dungeon chest drop
-
The dangerous Dragontooth Cutlass can be found by looting chests in the Volcano Dungeon. With 75-90 base damage and a +50 Critical Power stat, the Dragontooth Cutlass is a deadly weapon that can handle anything.

-
Volcano dungeon chest drop
-
It is the most powerful of all Dragontooth weapons and packs a powerful punch with 80-100 base damage. With +50 crit damage and +5 weight, it definitely prevents enemies from crawling around.
If you haven’t guessed already, you’ll have to find this weapon in the Volcano Dungeon, like many others introduced in update 1.5, but this club is certainly worth searching for.
3 master slingshot
-
how to get:
-
Treasure chest on the 70th floor of The Mines
-
It’s called the Master Slingshot for a reason. This seemingly harmless little slingshot can do 50-202 damage with the right ammo. 202! It’s 80 more damage points than the strongest sword. So what ammo does this much damage? Of course, it’s Iridium, the Valley’s one and only sacred resource.
The Master Slingshot is still an effective and powerful weapon with other ammo, but the Iridium takes it to another level. However, Master Slingshot is inadequate as it is situational. Not all scenarios require this long-range weapon, and you may run out of ammo.
2 infinity blade
-
how to get:
-
Combine Galaxy Sword, 60 Cinder Shards, and 3 Galaxy Souls in Volcano Forge
-
Another forge-crafted weapon, the Infinity Blade is the best sword in Stardew Valley and the most powerful in its category. It does 80-100 damage, +4 speed, and +2 defense. It’s an incredible weapon with the best of all worlds.
It’s a sword, so it’s a good balance between speed and accuracy. Combine that with its high damage and the weapon is virtually unstoppable.While the Infinity Gavel is technically superior in theory, many consider it the ultimate weapon. Of course, Stardew Valley’s best weapon is up to your taste, but this sword is known as one of his top dogs.
1 infinity gavel
-
how to get:
-
Combine Galaxy Hammer, 60 Cinder Shards, and 3 Galaxy Souls in the Volcanic Furnace
-
The highest ranked club-type weapon is the Infinity Gavel. It’s crafted by forging a Galaxy Hammer and his 3 of his Galaxy Souls (and 60 Cinder Shards), so it’s a bit more work. But it is absolutely worth it. Its damage is 100-120, making it the most powerful melee weapon in Stardew Valley.
On top of that, it has +2 Speed, +1 Defense, and +5 Weight stats, just to buff an already overwhelmed club. Equipped with speed stats specifically for speed, this weapon is a top weapon and a must-have for players who love going to the club.
