MapleStory Soul Tier List (September 2024)

Soul Weapons were introduced in the Black Heaven update and have become an essential part of the game for both bossing and mobbing. They provide a significant boost in damage and other stats, and can even grant unique skills. However, not all Soul Weapons are created equal. Some are far more powerful than others, and can make a big difference in your performance. This tier list is based on the overall effectiveness of Soul Weapons in both solo and party play. It takes into account factors such as damage output, utility, and survivability.
