Summary

• Gem Sword: Customizable stats make it a go-to weapon with an attack level of 9.

LEGO Fortnite Odyssey transports players to a unique world where they can establish their own Village, recruit villagers, and embark on an adventure across diverse biomes. However, to advance through the game, players will need to face formidable foes, making the game’s different weapons essential for survival.

There is a wide range of weapons in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, from fast-attacking Daggers to powerful Swords rifted from another dimension. While the choice of weapon may ultimately come down to personal preference, certain options are undeniably better than others. Here is a list of the best weapons in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey.

Gem Shield

High Rarity Shield Majoring In Defense

Kickstarting this list is a defensive item, the Gem Shield. As an Epic upgrade to the regular Shield, the Gem Shield stands out with its exceptional durability, fully capable of blocking all damage from incoming attacks when raised using the Aim Button. However, it does not protect against AOE attacks like the Brutes’ acid projectiles, so players will still need to stay vigilant.

While it doesn’t deal any damage, the Gem Shield is an excellent companion to nearly any weapon, as it occupies its own slot, allowing players to use it alongside other items. The Gem Shield can also be crafted using a variety of resources, though, unlike other gem weapons, the choice of resources does not make any changes to the weapon’s stats.

Knockback Shield

A Shield With Offensive Capabilities

While the Gem Shield excels at blocking incoming damage, the Knockback Shield offers additional versatility. This nifty shield not only boasts greater durability than the Gem Shield, despite being classified as only Rare rarity, but it also features a unique moveset that allows it to deal damage to enemies.

If players sprint while the Knockback Shield is raised, they can perform a charge attack that, as the name suggests, knocks back enemies and deals damage. While the damage dealt is relatively low, the Knockback Shield has the added benefit of momentarily stunning larger enemies like Golems, creating an opening to strike.

Gem Sword

Powerful Main Weapon For Most Players

Following the Knockback Shield is the Gem Sword, the pinnacle of craftable weapons in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. The Gem Sword boasts an attack level of 9, delivering significant damage against nearly all foes, making it a go-to weapon for most players. However, its standout feature lies in its customizable stats, as players can adjust its performance based on the materials they use during crafting.

While the Gem Sword’s base damage is the same regardless of the gem selected, players can alter its durability, knockback, and attack speed based on the resources used to craft it. For the hilt, Iron Bars are the best choice, offering superior durability. For the gem blade, players have a bit more flexibility. To maximize DPS, a Ruby Sword is an excellent choice due to its high attack speed. Alternatively, for improved durability, crafting an Amber Sword is a worthwhile option.

Rift Spear

Versatile Weapon For Close & Long Range Combat

• ATK: 10 (15 Jump Attack)
• Ranged ATK: 20

Next up is the Rift Spear, the highest-rarity spear available in the game. While obtaining this weapon is a lengthy process—requiring players to upgrade a Gem Spear via the Legendary Forge and then charge it by using it—those seeking a major attack boost will find the effort well worth it.

The Rift Spear, like all Spears, functions as both a ranged and melee weapon. Its melee attack deals respectable damage and boasts a fairly quick attack speed. However, if players hold down the Use Button, they can throw the Spear at their targets, delivering double the damage with a well-aimed throw.

6

Gem Crossbow

Strong Ranged Weapon

• ATK: 15 (23 Critical Hit)

While the Rift Spear serves as both a ranged and melee weapon, the Gem Crossbow focuses on taking out enemies from afar. As the Gem Crossbow is the Epic variant of the base Crossbow, it’s only natural for the weapon to boast an impressive level of damage, especially if players consistently land critical hits on their targets.

The Gem Crossbow also offers a level of customization, allowing players to maximize certain stats based on the resources used to craft it. While players may want to always use Iron Bars for the best level of durability, the gem limb offers more flexibility. For a good level of knockback, an Emerald Crossbow is a great choice. For players looking to maximize durability, however, an Amber Crossbow is also a solid option.

5

Thermal Detonator

High Damage Explosive

While the Gem Crossbow is an excellent-ranged weapon, players seeking to deliver explosive damage might find the Thermal Detonator to be a perfect choice. Though Thermal Detonators are not the only explosives available in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, they undoubtedly stand out as the best, dealing significantly more damage than both Dynamite and the Bowcaster.

Thermal Detonators are incredibly straightforward to use—players simply toss them toward their target using the Use Button, and after a brief fuse time, they detonate, dealing massive damage. These powerful devices can make quick work of tougher enemies and are even capable of stunning Brutes and Golems with repeated use.

4

Lightsaber

A Nifty Melee Weapon That Never Breaks

Following the Thermal Detonator is the Lightsaber, another iconic Star Wars weapon introduced alongside the Rebel Outpost in the Star Wars update. At first glance, the Lightsaber appears nearly identical to the highest-rarity sword, the Rift Sword, as it boasts the same level of damage output for its attacks. However, the weapon has one unique feature that sets it apart from the Rift Sword.

The Lightsaber is one of the only weapons in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey that cannot be permanently destroyed. While it does have a durability level like any other weapon, once its durability is depleted, the Lightsaber enters a 10-minute cooldown before it can be used again. While this ability is useful, there are a couple of drawbacks to the Lightsaber. First, Runes cannot be applied to it, meaning players are limited to the weapon’s base stats. Second, the weapon consumes resources from any structures it destroys, though this does not apply to eliminating enemies or wildlife.

3

Rift Sword

Legendary Sword For The Strongest Of Foes

While an Epic Gem Sword is an excellent weapon, players can elevate their arsenal further by obtaining a Rift Sword. Like all the other Rift Weapons on this list, a Rift Sword is acquired by upgrading a Gem Sword through the Legendary Forge and charging the Rift Crystal applied to the weapon. Although the process is time-consuming, the reward is well worth it, as players gain access to the second-best sword in the game.

The Rift Sword delivers an impressive damage output of 11 damage per hit, ranking it among the highest damage melee weapons available. Additionally, it boasts exceptional base durability, allowing players to wield it for an extended period before it eventually breaks—even without applying the Durability Rune.

2

Rift Crossbow

High Ranking Ranged Weapon

• ATK: 22 (33 Critical Hit)

Heading into the number two spot is the Rift Crossbow, undeniably one of the best-ranged weapons in the game. Though it technically ranks second in overall damage among ranged weapons, trailing just behind the Gem Musket, the Musket isn’t the most cost-effective weapon to wield. Its slow fire rate and knockback effect can also make it cumbersome to use in combat.

The Rift Crossbow, on the other hand, combines the reliability of the Gem Crossbow with a significant boost in damage, which adds up as it is essentially a Gem Crossbow upgraded to Legendary status. Additionally, the weapon’s high durability makes it equally impressive. With its high stats, the Rift Crossbow allows players to effectively take down enemies from a distance without the need to get close and personal.

Thunderclap Blade

Powerful Mythical Blade Acquired From The Storm King

• ATK: 15 (23 Jump Attack)
• Ranged ATK: 19

In first place is the Thunderclap Blade, a weapon that essentially serves as a Mythic Sword in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. This powerful weapon boasts the highest attack power of any melee weapon, making short work of most foes while also packing a punch against tougher enemies like Arctic Wolves and Brutes.

However, its additional ability truly sets the Thunderclap Blade apart from other swords. By holding the attack button, players can charge up a powerful ranged attack that deals massive damage upon release. This unique feature makes the Thunderclap Blade a worthy contender for the best weapon in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. Obtaining it can be a challenge though, as players must power up the Tempest Gateway and take on the Storm King to acquire it.
