Ironsand Tier List
Current-meta weapon and build rankings to help you dominate every Titan encounter.

How We Rank
Weapons and builds are ranked from S-tier (best in class) to D-tier (situational or underpowered). Rankings consider:
- Raw damage output and DPS potential
- Synergy with class abilities and passive upgrades
- Versatility across different Titan encounters and map types
- Ammo efficiency and resource management
- Team contribution in co-op scenarios
Weapon Tier List
Visit our Weapons Tier List for a detailed ranking of every weapon in Ironsand. Weapons are evaluated across all game modes and ranked based on their overall effectiveness.
Class Rankings
Each class in Ironsand brings unique strengths to the team. While all classes are viable, some excel in specific scenarios:
- S-Tier: Engineer — turret automation provides consistent damage and area control
- A-Tier: Berserker — highest burst damage potential for speed-running Titans
- A-Tier: Medic — essential for sustained team survival in longer encounters
- B-Tier: Defender — strong utility but requires good team coordination
Build Meta
The current meta favors builds that combine elemental damage types with status effects. Fire and electric combinations are particularly effective against mechanical enemies, while corrosive builds excel against organic threats.
