D Tier

Winged Greathorn

Winged Greathornis the only DTierweaponremainingon the Elden Ring weapons tier list 1.09.The WingedGreathornistechnically better than this patch as a greatax.There's a very important change tothis weapon type in terms of how themechanics Elden Ring Items of it work with increasedspeed range and recovery time forvarious attacks and that's feelingreally good.Ultimately its ash of warwhich provides that debuff to those thatstand in it making them weaker and takemore damage is incredibly awkward to use.Holding you in place,spreading out avery small cloud very easy to avoid and hardto land even in PvE in lots ofcircumstances.Ultimately thisweapon just doesn't have the power thatit needs,the ash of war needs some morerelevant love.

C Tier

Bastard's Stars

Moving up tothe Dtier of Elden Ring boos weapons tier list after patch 1.09is the wonderful Bastard's Stars.This is up to Ctiernowand it deserves at least that. Soweirdly in 1.08,they actually made failsbetter in terms of powerstance,givingit some very useful improvements there.But they went much further this patch1.09 increases the attribute scaling offlails which does affect this weaponmaking it have better scaling and betterdamage as a whole.But also increases thespeed of various attacks,and recovery timeand they deal a lot more poise whenhaving it in two hands.It's just gone from an absolute joke ofa weapon to actually relevant and quitefun to use as a sort of challengecertainly a lot more viable than it usedto be.

Grafted Dragon

Grafted Dragonis afist weaponthat’s slightly worsein this patch due to the weapon type.Whatthey did is they decreased the poisedamage,specifically heavy attacks andrunning heavy attacks or fistsand claws.So this weapon now has lesspotential in PvP which is funny becauseit wasn't exactly the most relevantweapon.It does have a pretty coolash of warwhich can be usable inPvE scenario.But it's a bit awkward it'sa bit of a meme pick but it's undeniablethat it does have quite the output incertain situations and is quite fun touse if you can make it work.

Giant's Red Braid

Giant's Red Braidhas received some changesactually some buffsthathave increased attack speedon the first attack of its combo andthey've reduced the attackrecovery timefor whips as a whole.This is notrelevant becausewhips arestill a very weak weapon type.Whiletheir range and move set is fun, meta, andpotential viability-wise,they're notvery good.They attack a little bit tooslowly and they have absolutely no poisein a meta based on 1.08 and beyond wherepoise and stag are so important.

Lion Greatbow

No changes to this weapon type.It's simply a goodgreat bow able to get some enhancementsfrom the unique ammo type and a finepick if you want to use great bows.Butthere's really nothing more elden ring items buy to say aboutit.
