Frequently Asked Questions
How are Hytale tier lists determined?
Our rankings are based on extensive gameplay testing, community feedback, and data analysis from Hytale Early Access. We consider effectiveness, accessibility, and meta relevance.
How often are tier lists updated?
We update our tier lists after each major Hytale patch. The current rankings reflect the Early Access 2026 meta and will evolve as the game is balanced.
Why are Daggers T0 in weapons?
Daggers currently have fast attack speed with built-in knockback, allowing players to stun-lock enemies indefinitely. This is likely unintended and may be patched.
Should I always use T0 items?
Not necessarily. T0 items are often overpowered due to balance issues. Use them if you want easy wins, but T1-T2 items offer more balanced, intended gameplay.
