❓ Weak Legacy 2 Tier List — FAQ
Everything you need to know.
What's the best Breathing Style overall?▼
Sun Breathing is the best overall — 13 forms, highest damage, and the only style that can permanently kill Muzan. However, it's hard to unlock — Water and Thunder are more accessible alternatives.
What's the best Blood Demon Art?▼
Cold Blood (Kokushibo) is S-tier — combines sword mastery with Moon Breathing-like attacks. It's the strongest demon ability and pairs perfectly with the Moon Sword drop.
Is Water Breathing still viable in 2026?▼
Yes — Water Breathing is B-tier and excellent for beginners. It's the gateway to Sun Breathing (Tanjiro's progression), making it the recommended starter style.
How often does the tier list change?▼
Every major update (typically monthly). The 500K Visit Update buffed Thunder and Cold Blood, nerfed Insect Breathing. Bookmark this page for updated rankings.
Should I play Demon Slayer or Demon?▼
Demon Slayer has more questlines, more group activities, and Sun Breathing access. Demons get unique BDAs and are more 1v1 viable. Pick based on solo (Demon) vs group (Slayer) preference.
