Hehe, Charge gets both first and last place, perfect
Ha ha you right😂
Charge is too op
Bro it’s always when I’m like 2 minutes into the video and these kind of comments appear in the random featured comments thing and spoiler the whole video for me
Pro tip:if you mix the heart ring with the crack shot it gives you easy hp and it really helps with all the parry only bosses
Heart ring for those parry bosses doesn’t really make sense because chalice is just better because the bosses were designed around her. Like cuphead against the horse is so much worse than using chalice
@@luiginumbers6268bro, literally EVERY boss is better with chalice
@@Spideybro213 but the main island ones are specifically designed with cuphead in mind. The Kings Leap are designed with chalice specifically in mind.
@@Spideybro213 thats why i dont like playing chalice for the normal game because it feels like cheating
@@luiginumbers6268 I found using cuphead for the knight easier than chalice.
Roundabout does more damage when it returns back from firing and rank every charm that includes every version of the relic.
I'm pretty sure that rumor has been disproven, but where did you hear that from? Thanks for the idea! I definitely plan at doing a charm ranking at some point
roundabout does not deal more damage returning what tf are you talking about?
It's for maximum rage, not damaged.
@@user-ij3il1sj1kmaximum range, not rage.
Yup
Honestly I always thought charge was underrated. I personally prefer roundabout and crackshot but I’m glad to see it getting some love.
Good to see another charge enjoyer out here 😁
Good ranking i would only switch few things in top 4
1 roundabout
2 spread
3 crackshot
4 charge
Thanks for sharing those are some solid picks!
I think the range problem hold spread
The Chaser is better than Crackshot. Both lock onto enemies, but Crackshot had 2 downsides. It's not as accurate as Chaser, and its slow fire rate. So Chaser is better.
More of chasers shots hit, but it still doesn't make up for its low dps for me, although there are a few exceptions
@@SirPilky Cagney Carnation and Goopy were a JOKE with chaser.
Chaser is going to do way more damage than crack shot when your cracks will never hit
Bro sally stage play and Werner werman were an absolute joke with roundabout
Not gonna lie any weapon could kill Sally stageplay, one of the easiest bosses in the game
I love crack shot and spread and I’m so happy that you rated them that high!😊
Honestly ive never thought i like lobber that much before due to its range and limitations
But it helped me in so many run and gun levels for one shotting most minions it started to be my go to even in bosses due to its damage
Thanks for sharing!
Converge was a life saver for the octopus run and gun stage and is the best weapon for run and guns I think
Tldr
10: uncharged shot
9: twist up
8: chaser
7:peashot
6:converge
5: lobber
4: Spread
3:crackshot
2: roundabout
1:charged shot
I love watching Cuphead videos but yours is cooler
Thanks so much!
Yeah they are way collor and so are 🫵
@Christophercat_gaming Thanks I really appreciate that!
Are*
Yeah
1. Peashooter is extremely basic but I’ve come to appreciate it for how efficient it is at hitting bosses from far away and it’s rapid fire rate.
For example, I think peashooter is the third best weapon against Grim Matchstick’s final phase, under lobber and charge. All it does is shoot straight and you have full control over the direction it’s going, so there’s no risk of breaking the fireballs.
2. I use to loathe Twist Up, but I grew to like it cause it forces you to get creative. I could name a scenario where it’s useful for every single boss except Baroness and Grim Matchstick. And unlike roundabout, it’s a lot easier to get full use out of it’s EX.
3. Charge EX is broken. One of my favorite things to do in speed running attempts is spam spread, quickly switch and use charge EX, repeat. I tested it on the first phase of phantom express, it ends the phase and many other bosses at a scary fast rate.
Pretty great rank Pilky.
Thanks for sharing! I definitely agree with most of what you said, and yeah, the charge EX is so broken lol
Peashooter reminds me in a another game
bro if you use pshooter in grim matchstick 3rd phase than no hit when flame thrower
I would say that twist up is good for skilled players, you can always aim it when you have focus and you can hit multiple shots at a time and with the EX a you just need to time it, it deserves place 5
Thanks for sharing! I honestly might've put it higher if I used it more, but I find myself using charge all the time instead lol. I get what you're saying though
I tried once to beat cuphead using only twist up. I’m never using twist up again.
@@aceash5.065lol
@@SirPilkyfair enough, the rest of this ranking I would agree with!
Also sorry for replying 9 months later
Best Cuphead CZcamsr bc he is kind loves his fans appreciates not having much viewers on streams and doesn't care about donations
Also I'm so sorry for not being on the stream and why did I watch this 15 times
Thanks I really appreciate that! You've been at so many of my recent streams and it's perfectly fine if you can't make every one!
The damage of spread’s ex is so high that you can beat the devil with just EIGHT MAX DAMAGE SPREAD EXS
It's honestly crazy
Crackshot should be in number 1 because it can adapt to every boss and their phases
It sucks against bosses that move alot
@@funni208 I think it's aimbot can make that up tho
@@Crxzy_babblejade_rox yeah but it usually moves into the general direction of bosses it doesn't completely lock on if the boss dodges it when it cracks
@@funni208 that's true is scenarios like that I just use roundabout cuz it's my secondary
@@Crxzy_babblejade_rox ok
For some reason I find spread to be an amazing weapon, but I will have to agree with its rank, and it also makes it kind of hard to get a perfect score in most bosses. Another thing that some people may not know is that crackshot parried with heart ring is a broken combo, you can gain hearts while also dealing damage, if you can't parry or think you can't parry the actual projectiles. There is also no risk of accidently losing a life. Overall, great video and I agree with every rank except for charge (mainly because I am bad at using charge). I also want to thank you for making such amazing videos and I hope you continue to make more amazing videos. ❤
Also, the divine relic can be broken is some cases...or bad...you know what I am trying to say right?
Thanks I really appreciate that! And yeah, spread is amazing if you have the opportunity to utilize it and that crackshot combo works great as well! Yeah I know what you mean about the divine relic lol. I find it great for plane bosses but somewhat lackluster for regular levels
Great editing
@@Worms_Alive Thanks!
The only use case for the uncharged shot is to get in a tiny bit of extra damage on a boss you hit with a charged shot before you need to start dodging again. This only matters if you have charge alone. Switching to another shot is fast enough that it'll almost always be more useful.
The only other benefit is quickly taking out enemies in run n' gun levels, but again, just switch weapons.
Hey, I thought that was a very good tier-list! Have a nice day!
Thanks have a nice day as well!
THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO!! I think that the thing I love most about your rankings is the fact that you reason and argue every single point you give, and you get to fully understand not only your point of view but the thing you're ranking itself. Keep the great work up!!
Thanks I really appreciate the input!
Pea shooter combined with crackshot is OP you just win
I've always thought a mod with "Crackspread" (Crackshot and Spread) would be hilarious.
SO many bosses can be cheesed with twist up
Alternative title: Cuphead shots by damage per second
Twist up is under rated it’s really good for a lot of bosses
I find twist up to be useful in most bosses, it’s situational but you can just aim and it’s really useful for bosses above you and even if it’s on the side of course, just aim, it’s really good on phantom express, chef salt-baker, devil, king dice, root pack, Cagney, and basically every boss beside 2 or 3, buts it’s your opinion and I respect it
Thanks for sharing!
Or you could just shoot straight at the boss with the same dps with roundabout and not have to account for the awkward angle
I think that chasers practicality should be better because you can just focus on doing the bosses attacks while still doing damage and the damage amount is good for the type of shot it is, it's main focus is to be used for beginners to get the boss patterns down while wanting g the damage and if the damage to as higher it would be too much damage because most of not all the bullets hit the target so if the damage was higher you could just beat a boss in seconds which defeats the point of the chaser.
I get your point. I definitely would have ranked it more if it wasn't for crackshot. I find that I can usually do more damage with crackshot even without trying to aim at all, but I get why people would still use chaser, especially beginning players like you said
i brought the dlc with the game so i just used crackshot
@@SirPilkyAlso the crackshot is in the dlc, so it might not be availabe to every player. But yes crack shot is definitely better
I would've put charge at the bottom before what you said. After you explained how it works, I've done so well.
Where’s the airplane gus?!😂
this video was really good!! you should have more subscribers
Thanks I appreciate that!
True words have never been spoken
My list:
10: uncharged charge shot
9: twist up
8: chaser
7: lobber
6: peashooter
5: converge
4: spread
3: charge shot
2: crackshot
1: round-a-bout
Thanks for sharing these are some solid picks!
twist up slander will NOT BE TOLERATED when im around
Or when PK is here (Potato King)
In my opinion, roundabout is not only the best weapon in the game, but far more broken than it should be. Above average dps is one thing, but what makes it broken is its reach out front giving you enough to cover almost anything in front or behind you. It’s super easy to hit anything at all on screen. There isn’t a single boss roundabout struggles to kill while maintaining a pretty high dps. That’s where crackshot lacks. Charge is also busted, however it has a few minor flaws of being shot when you dash, and dealing with minions horribly. Try phantom express phase 1 with charge and you’ll see what I mean.
Thanks for sharing! Really good points 👍
Imo roundabout and converge are my 2 favorites roundabout can just cover the entire screen and converge can kill basically every minion
Thanks for sharing 👍
This list is perfect!👌🏻
I disagree
Cool tip with Twist Up: Aim diagonally
If I were ranking:
10. Uncharged charge shot
9. Chaser
8. Peashooter
7. Converge
6. Twist-up
5. Lobber
4. Charge
3. Spread
2. Roundabout
1. Crackshot
Thanks for sharing!
Your tips are a W
Thanks glad they were helpful!
I always use spread on Chalice because she can easily double jump to get inside bosses (Pause 😳) hitboxes and spam EX which makes all the spikes hit dealing a lot of damage
Great ranking btw!
Haha thanks and good strategy!(but yeah pause 😳)
Ok, i’ll admit crackshot outranks chaser by a mile, but, if you dont want to buy/cant afford the dlc then it think chaser is still amazing
I will agree chaser is a lot more useful if you don't have the dlc so maybe I should've brought that up as well
Thx for giving crack shot a full 10 because it's my main and it's op to me plus it is realy good when you use parry heart ring so u can use ur ex to get health fast if there's like no parrys and it's like chaser but sooooo much better
Thanks for sharing, and yeah, it works so well with heart ring!
Twist up underrated
good thing i bough round -a-bout early on in cuphead
Question for you all: what is your most and least favorite shot? (Not including the uncharged shot)
My fav is:Crack shot
Least fav:pea shooter
this video is good i think its one of my favorit cuphead videos
Thanks I really appreciate that!
what editor do you use this is very good and i have been trying to make cuphead videos too
Thanks! I use davinci resolve. It's free, and it does pretty much everything I need it to do. Good luck with the content!
The EX for roundabout should be a 10. Its really really helpful
My personal favorite is the spread, probably followed by the crackshot. I often have spread as a secondary at least- the damage output really is a good way to kill off bosses quickly. Sometimes the range can be a hinderance, but I feel that you can get close enough to most bosses to deal that damage, so long that you’re strategic and careful about it, so normally it isn’t impossible to tackle.
Thanks for sharing!
Personal ranking (I'll only include ACTUAL shots)
9: Peashooter:
The most basic weapon in the game, I can never find a good reason to use it against any boss. Decent in the early game but falls off almost instantly after you start getting better shots.
8: Chaser:
The easiest shot to use at the cost of doing the least damage. Useful against more mobile phases as unlike every other shot, Chaser physically cannot miss its target. Usually outclassed as most phases are more stationary, making other shots better in general.
7: Twist-up:
These next few are more situational in my opinion, but not totally useless. Twist-up arcs upwards, making it useful against phases with higher-up hitboxes. Twist-up is particularly effective against the Phantom Express, as almost every phase has a higher-up hitbox, Captain Brineybeard for reasons stated in-video, and Sally Stageplay due to her jumping around and hovering in the air.
6: Converge:
I generally think the higher-DPS shots are usually better and Converge is no exception. Although pretty situational, it's piercing abilities make it great against the frogs, as they're grouped together in the first phase, and the Devil's later phases, particularly the third phase, where Converge helps to take down all the minions that spawn.
5: Lobber:
The second most damaging shot in the game only behind spread, and very much the antithesis of the Twist-up. Lobber has a lower fire rate and arcs downward but does a lot of damage. It's unique behavior and decent ground range makes it effective against phases with hitboxes that are closer to the bottom of the screen. I personally use this quite often, especially against Grim Matchstick. It also has more niche uses against some other bosses due to its unique behaviors and high DPS.
4: Charge:
Call me a freak, but I don't like Charge as much as others seem to. It's very hard to use due to its charge mechanic, and it's DPS is only 3rd best behind lobber and spread. However, it's still a great shot due to its screen-wide range and high overall DPS. It has some great utility against bosses like Captain Brineybeard and Werner Werman. It also has a lot of more niece uses like against Grim Matchstick or the Devil.
3: Spread:
The single highest DPS shot in the game. It can be tough to use against certain bosses, but most of the time, there's at least one phase where Spread can be very powerful. Spread's strength comes of course from its insane firepower, which comes at the cost of a pitiful range. It's very useful against more stationary bosses like the Devil, the Root Pack, and Rumor Honeybottoms, but ultimately, it falls short against more mobile phases.
2: Crackshot:
This thing is nuts. Up close, it has the DPS of LOBBER, but from afar, it practically homes in at the cost of damage. Even then, it STILL does more damage than chaser. Its EX is busted when paired with Heart ring, and it literally cheats against the ENITRE DLC.
1: Roundabout:
Yeah, was there EVER any competition? And this is coming from a former skeptic as well! Roundabout does a high amount of damage, not as high as the higher-DPS shots, but there's also the fact that it comes back, making it incredibly easy to hit bosses with it. This shot went from a shot I barely ever used, to my go-to standard shot after I discovered its true power. Seriously, this shot sometimes makes the game TOO EASY. It literally CHEESES more than half of the grounded bosses in the entire game!
Thanks for sharing so much! I'll have to say I agree with most of what you said, and you brought up some great points!
Roundabout and crack shot are my go to weapons
Agreed sometimes spread and roundabout Is the go to weapons.
i would give uncharged shot a 0.1 usage bc if theres any moments i must not use the charged shot to sacrfice one of my lifes
That makes sense
One of the best tier list videos i’ve seen
Thanks that means a lot!
I can't find any cap the detector ain't coming up he's not lying
I died at the twitter thread joke
I’d say that chaser should’ve been at #9 instead of twist-up, since twist-up isn’t really that useless, since it still does a fair amount of damage compared to chaser
Thanks for sharing!
Uncharged is good for minions while using charge. Also, it makes no sense to count charge and uncharged separately
My list
10 chaser.
9 uncharged charge shot
8 twist up
7 peashooter
6 converge
5 lobber
4 crackshot
3 spread
2 charge
1 Roundabout
Thanks for sharing! This is a solid list
Charge and Roundabout have always been my go-to pair as well.
Nice video but twist up being 9th is criminal
I feel like all DLC weapons should get like a minus certain amount of points because you have to pay for them
Tbh i like the crackshots ex only for one reason. When you use the heart ring and you can parry to get hp, you can actually use the parryable ex to get extra hp. I dont use the heart ring that much. But when i do its really helpful to use that ex.
I should've brought this up, but yeah, that's definitely a super helpful feature!
The only time roundabout is a bad pick is the angel and devil, because the angel doesn’t take damage, and even if you get close, spread or lobber is just better.
Okay I might be getting controversial here, before the introduction of my beloved crackshot I wiped the floor with most of the bosses with Roundabout and Lobber. (It’s been my main weapons ever since the game first came out, and they never disappoint me.)
Honestly I think that's a pretty good loadout!
this is really good video 9/10
Thanks!
@@SirPilky you're welcome
I don’t consider un charged to be a “weapon option” because it is basically charge but different
Uncharged is the best weapon. Op damage and massive hotels that goes through ppl. It's great for beginners. :]
Bro for real how could I get my rankings so wrong 😪
Crimanally underated video.
Thanks!
Twist up isn't really the best on any fight, but it is massivly uderrated. I won't pretend it is good, but you can use it if you know how to. Aiming down makes it cover the screen below you, because it will go sideways for example. Aiming up will work the same way.
7:45 Bro hit his 🤡e🤡is💀💀😂😂
Oh btw uncharged charged shot does six damage
Yeah it does barely any damage lol
@@SirPilky ur my fav cuphead gamer I play cuphead to!
@@SirPilky ILyour video dude keep it up definitely subscribing!!!
late but heres my opinion
10.uncharge (you have to spam your controler to give like 1 dps)
9.chaser (crackshot exists)
8.lobber (only good in bosses like grim and rumor but other than that not good)
7.twist up (idk)
6.charge (ok i guess)
5.peashooter (subtle and good)
4.converge (idk 2)
3.spread (the most powerful one and good in most cases)
2. roundabout (amazing dps)
1. crackahot (more damage homing missle? yes please)
Thanks for sharing you have some solid picks!
Don't forget with heart ring the ex for crackshot can get you health. I sometimes just use it for health
Yeah crackshot's EX is definitely great for that and that's a point I probably should of went into more
You can aim down or diagonally, to give twist up more range
Twist up is SO GOOD for the dlc bosses, i thought the three way yellow gun (forgot the name) was the worst dlc weapon bc twist up it one of my favs!
And i hate chaser.
Thanks for sharing!
yep totally crazy
Twist up is underrated if you're very good with it it's well very good
I don’t know about y’all but I NEVER use charge shot, there’s a lot of weapons that could do constant damage and charge shot won’t be consistent if there is so many projectiles on the screen like if your fighting chef saltbaker. But that’s just my opinion
Thanks for sharing!
uncharged charge shot is overpowered
I think the ability to create an object to bounce off is very good cracked shot's ex deserves more
Roundabout also actually only does about the same as peashooter, same with uncracked crackshot
The chaser should have gotten a better score because he didn’t consider a big thing, you don’t have the dlc. So you don’t have access to crackshot
Maybe I should've considered that more, but I just figured that a lot of players have the DLC. Maybe I'm wrong though
I love twist-up, just aim diagonal if you have a skill issue
My List:
D Tier
#10 | Charge. (Uncharged)
C Tier
#9 | Chaser.
B Tier
#8 | Charge.
#7 | Peashooter.
#6 | Converge.
A Tier
#5 | Twist-Up.
#4 | Lobber.
#3 | Spread.
S Tier
#2 | Roundabout.
#1 | Crackshot.
Thanks for sharing!
Um… The charge shot is not the best because it has very little mobility options. An example is that if you dash the bullet will fire.
This is why I didn't give it a perfect score in practicality but if you put in enough practice to get good I've found it's not that much of an issue and I just make sure to time my dashes right
As Someone Who's Beaten Cuphead's Main Game And Is Beating The Main Game On Expert And Beating The DLC
S Tier
1. Crack Shot - the best weapon is Crack Shot who knew? this is pretty much the giga chad version of Chaser like Cagney is a god damn joke with Crack Shot but this pick was hard as Round A Bout was god like as well but the auto lock feature gives this shot the edge
2. Round A Bout - the shot that is my primary due to the damage output and it's god like range but unfortunately it's not auto lock but honestly it should have been #1
3. Spread - this shot is very good for good damage and it's ex shot is also good but it's range is unfortunately not good but if not for it's range it could've been higher
A Tier
4. Converge - to me at least this weapon is a better version of Pea Shooter Due To the arcing shots It shoots (this might be my dramatic pick in the list honestly)
5. Chaser - honestly this was the hardest weapon to rank due to the usage and drama this shot brings but the added benefit of focused on dodging attacks but it's outclassed By a better weapon in the future
6. Pea Shooter - the basic one of the bunch while shots like lobber are better than Pea Shooter I use this weapon regularly but it's only here because to me Pea Shooter is average not bad or good
B Tier
7. Charge - obviously the most unique shot due To it's charging mechanic honestly I don't use this weapon too much Since it's more complicated to use which is why it's this low
8. Lobber - while this weapon is useful and quite damaging it's only effective against platform bosses like Grim , Cagney and Rumor
9. Twist Up - Potato King was so wrong this weapon sucks
C Tier
10. Uncharged Charge Shot - literally no one uses this except for CZcamsrs challenge videos
Thanks for sharing all these detailed descriptions! I can definitely get why you ranked everything the way you did
Twist up underrated crackshot cant hit bosses that move 99% of the time other than those i agree with the list
Thanks for sharing 👍
I mean technically if you’re good enough the practicality ranking doesn’t matter and instead the highest damage stuff with the best ex’s are the ideal weapons so honestly I’d rather have spreadshot or lobber over roundabout even though roundabout is pretty solid. Charge is very good in general though especially for S ranks so I agree with that
That makes sense. I mostly made the practicality category to keep beginning players in mind
i used Chaser for my entire playthrough since I got it but I don't have the DLC so if I did I'd probably be using Crackshot
That makes sense!
The chaser orbit is for early game (specifically run and guns)
roundabout is #1 for me i use it for every boss i fight and its ex is probably has saved me so many times
Thanks for sharing!
i agree. also, wasnt this ranking vid premiered at a similar time as when you did MQ in 16 hours?
Yeah I think I premiered both of them on a Saturday around 12:00 PM CST
as someone that doesn't have the dlc, i think that chaser is way to slept on (or i just have no skill). but i do have to say i would not have put charge up in first, even though it as alot of damage, i think its annoying to keep having to release the shoot button and than pressing it again, that's i think roundabout is number 1. but thats just my opinion.
Thanks for sharing!
Lobber actually only does a little more damage than roundabout
My usual “scouting” combo is chaser and charge, with smoke bomb and super art 1. But by th way, twist up is pretty good, and I’ve found my self using against bosses the have an “air” phase like that one theatre idiot
Thanks for sharing!
Crack shot with heart ring IS OP that’s why it’s number 1 for me
That is such an OP strategy!
U should make a video about ranking Cuphead specials!
My tier list in my opinion:
6: Cuphead’s super art 3
5: Cuphead’s super art 2
4: Chalice’s super art 1
3: Chalice’s super art 2
2: Cuphead’s super art 1

2:15 I remember I had to do uncharged charge shots against humor honeybottom on expert and it was absolutely dreadful especially in the last phase
Chasers ex is basically if you want to do damage with it just use spreader ex
