Rapier

The Rapier is a nimble, narrow blade that strikes with speed rather than weight, and it lands at D tier on the tier list. Each hit deals 28 damage across an unusually fast 3-swing, 7-hit combo, totaling 70 full-combo damage with 37.5 stagger.
Its light weight and 4.3-block reach give it a fencing feel — dart in, land a flurry, dart out. The trade-off is a long 1.8s combo reset, which punishes missed combos more than most fast weapons, and knockback is a modest 750. It serves the Trickster + Support archetype, rewarding mobile, hit-and-run play over standing your ground.
The Rapier drops in Frozen Highlands, Honeycomb Fields and Ravines. Community testing measured about 265 DPS with basic attacks and Lightning Surge, noting it is built for the Powershaker and Thundering enchantment styles rather than wave-based ones — and that figure is single-target dummy data, not a verdict on crowd handling.
It is not a weapon you pick for raw power, but as a fast, long-reaching blade for Trickster builds that value rhythm and repositioning, it has a clear niche while you hunt stronger options.
