Damage calculator

The damage calculator shows the real damage a weapon deals to a specific enemy. It accounts for your skill level, the weapon’s quality and the creature’s weaknesses and resistances to each damage type. The same weapon can deal very different damage depending on the enemy.

What you can do here

• Find the best weapon against any Valheim creature or boss. Pick an enemy, and a ranking of every available weapon against it appears below.
• See how many hits it takes to win, how much damage you deal per second and how much stamina each swing costs.
• Pick the best ammo for your bow or crossbow and compare the damage of different arrows and bolts.
• See how much a higher skill boosts your damage: move the skill level and all numbers update.
