Elden Ring Weapon Comparison Table
Compare two to four weapons, each with its own source-defined affinity and upgrade. All choices share the same five offensive attributes and grip mode. See physical, magic, fire, lightning and holy nominal Attack Rating separately, including a difference against your first choice.
Uncertified v1.17 reference calculator · No gameplay damage ranking01. Load numerical data explicitly
To avoid bundling third-party game parameters or relying on a paid API, this tool loads the same pinned v1.17 public community JSON as the single-weapon AR calculator, only after you click. Calculation then runs entirely in the browser. The file is not an official current-game database or evidence of permission to redistribute it.
No parameters loaded. The source is never fetched automatically.
Read the pinned community data source and project validation notes. The source data is not sent to our server or stored in your browser between visits.
02. Shared combat attributes
Both to all four choices use these exact same five attributes. The two-handed switch applies to each source-defined weapon's supported grip rule; paired or forced grip weapons may respond differently.
03. Choose distinct weapon configurations
Select exact names from the loaded v1.17 variants. Each card has its own upgrade level; unsupported reinforcement is never guessed or interpolated. You can compare a weapon against a different affinity or upgrade of itself.
Choose two weapons after loading the reference source. Results are source-scoped estimates.

How to interpret a weapon comparison
Nominal Attack Rating (AR) is not the health removed from an enemy. Two weapons with the same total AR can deal different actual damage depending on physical/elemental split, enemy defenses, attack animation, motion values, buffs, skill effects and status buildup. Unmet minimum requirements are flagged rather than quietly treated as a valid recommendation.
For example, a prior source-site browser comparison for Standard Uchigatana with STR 40, DEX 40, INT/FAI/ARC 10 reported 172 nominal AR at +0 with one hand, and 491 at +25. These observations illustrate why upgrade levels must be compared explicitly; they do not certify another weapon, affinity, patch or target enemy. See the historical test conditions.
Scope: This is a v1.17 third-party reference research calculator, not an officially verified current App 1.17.2 / Regulation 1.17.3 in-game damage model. Actual game-client goldens, legal use of game-derived data, and SEO content audit are independent. This page is noindex until those gates pass. Shared query parameters never create a new indexed landing page.
