The Legacy Piece meta evolves with every update from developer Gwynn's Shrine. This complete tier list for July 2026 ranks all 20 Devil Fruits, 5 races, 6 swords, and 3 fighting styles in a single unified framework. Whether you are a new player deciding what to pursue first or an endgame veteran optimizing your build, this guide shows exactly where every element stands relative to everything else in the game. Rankings reflect the current state of Legacy Piece after the Update 0.5 balance changes.
Complete Tier List Summary
The table below consolidates every ranked element across all four major categories in Legacy Piece. S tier represents the absolute best in each category. A tier items are powerful and competitive. B tier items are solid mid-range choices. C tier items are the weakest and should be upgraded from when possible.
| Tier | Devil Fruits | Races | Swords | Fighting Styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Goro, Hie-Hie | Oni | Yoru | — |
| A | Mera, Paw, Smoke | Mink | Wado Ichimonji, Shusui | Black Leg, Fishman Karate |
| B | Bomb, Diamond, Wax, Weapon, Rubber, Sand, Magma | Fishman, Human | Sandai Kitetsu, Soul Solid | Rokushiki |
| C | Chop, Love, Invisibility, Mochi, Operation, Gravity, Dark, Barrier | Skypiea | Cutlass | — |
The gap between S tier and C tier is enormous. A player with Goro, Oni, Yoru, and Black Leg will deal roughly double the effective combat output of a player with Chop, Skypiea, Cutlass, and Rokushiki. Understanding these gaps helps you prioritize which elements to pursue first.
Devil Fruit Tier List
Devil Fruits have the largest impact on your combat power in Legacy Piece. Your fruit determines your primary damage type, crowd control capability, and overall combat range. The 20 Devil Fruits span four tiers with significant power differences between each tier.
| Tier | Fruits | Type | PvP Rating | PvE Rating | Key Mechanic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Goro | Logia | 10/10 | 10/10 | Lightning stun |
| S | Hie-Hie | Logia | 9.5/10 | 10/10 | Freeze CC |
| A | Mera | Logia | 8.5/10 | 8/10 | Fast flame combos |
| A | Paw | Paramecia | 8/10 | 8/10 | Projectile reflect |
| A | Smoke | Logia | 8/10 | 7.5/10 | Smoke stun |
| B | Magma | Logia | 6/10 | 8/10 | AoE lava farming |
| B | Bomb | Paramecia | 7/10 | 6/10 | Burst explosion |
| B | Rubber | Paramecia | 7/10 | 5/10 | Stretch range + defense |
| B | Sand | Logia | 5/10 | 6/10 | Sand debuff |
| B | Diamond | Paramecia | 6/10 | 7/10 | Defense buff |
| B | Wax | Paramecia | 5/10 | 6/10 | Wax wall defense |
| B | Weapon | Paramecia | 6/10 | 6/10 | Weapon creation |
| C | Chop | Paramecia | 4/10 | 3/10 | Anti-melee body split |
| C | Love | Paramecia | 3/10 | 3/10 | Attraction CC |
| C | Invisibility | Paramecia | 5/10 | 2/10 | Stealth ambush |
| C | Mochi | Paramecia | 5/10 | 4/10 | Trap zoning |
| C | Operation | Paramecia | 4/10 | 5/10 | Precision surgical |
| C | Gravity | Paramecia | 4/10 | 4/10 | Gravity CC |
| C | Dark | Paramecia | 4/10 | 3/10 | Gravity pull CC |
| C | Barrier | Paramecia | 3/10 | 5/10 | Defensive wall |
Goro remains the best Devil Fruit in Legacy Piece because its lightning stun mechanic confirms into any combo chain. Hie-Hie shares S tier with freeze crowd control that is slightly better for PvE boss fights due to longer duration. The A tier fruits each provide specific advantages: Mera for speed, Paw for reflect counter-play, and Smoke for budget stun combos. For detailed fruit analysis, see our Devil Fruit tier list.
Among B tier fruits, Magma stands out for PvE mob farming with massive AoE lava pools. The Update 0.5 patch buffed Bomb's explosion radius by 15 percent, improving its PvP burst potential. Rubber is the best B tier fruit for close-range PvP because stretch range extends melee distance.
Race Tier List
Your race provides permanent passive buffs and V2 and V3 abilities that enhance your entire build. Since race cannot be changed without rerolling, choosing wisely or rerolling early saves significant time.
| Tier | Race | Overall Rating | Base Passive | V3 Active | Best Synergy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Oni | 9.5/10 | +15% melee damage | Oni Fury (+25% damage 10 sec) | Yoru, Goro, Black Leg |
| A | Mink | 8.5/10 | +15% movement speed | Surge (2x speed 5 sec) | Wado Ichimonji, Mera |
| B | Fishman | 7/10 | Water combat | Oceanic Transform (+30% water 15 sec) | Fishman Karate, Hie-Hie |
| B | Human | 6/10 | +5% all stats | Determination (+10% all stats 8 sec) | None specific |
| C | Skypiea | 4.5/10 | +50% Observation range | Lightning Strike | None recommended |
Oni is the best race because its melee damage buff enhances every close-range build, which covers the majority of builds in Legacy Piece. The V2 damage mitigation of 10 percent provides unmatched survivability. Mink is the second best race for PvP because speed creates advantages that no stat buff can replicate in player fights. For detailed race guides, visit our race tier list.
Fishman is worth keeping only if you use Fishman Karate. The always-on Water Aura at V2 and water combat capability create unique advantages on water-adjacent islands like Arlong Park, Baratie, and Water 7. Human provides balanced stats with no specialization. Skypiea should be rerolled immediately because its Observation Haki range buff provides minimal combat value.
Sword Tier List
Swords provide consistent melee damage and special abilities that complement your fruit and fighting style. The gap between Yoru at S tier and Cutlass at C tier is the largest in any category.
| Tier | Sword | Overall Rating | Special Ability | PvP Rating | PvE Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Yoru | 10/10 | Black Slash (arena wave) | 10/10 | 10/10 |
| A | Wado Ichimonji | 8.5/10 | Piercing Thrust (ranged poke) | 8/10 | 7/10 |
| A | Shusui | 8/10 | Spinning Slash (AoE spin) | 7/10 | 9/10 |
| B | Sandai Kitetsu | 6/10 | Curse (defense reduction) | 4/10 | 6/10 |
| B | Soul Solid | 7.5/10 | Soul Drain (lifesteal) | 6/10 | 8/10 |
| C | Cutlass | 3/10 | None | 2/10 | 2/10 |
Yoru is the strongest weapon in Legacy Piece with the highest damage, longest range, and the devastating Black Slash special. Yoru drops from Mihawk at approximately 1 percent per kill, making it the most sought-after item in the game. For the full sword breakdown, see our sword tier list. Wado Ichimonji is the best PvP sword before Yoru due to fast recovery between swings. Shusui is the best PvE sword before Yoru because Spinning Slash clears mob groups efficiently.
Soul Solid provides lifesteal through Soul Drain, making it uniquely valuable for solo boss encounters and extended grinding sessions. Sandai Kitetsu has a curse mechanic that reduces target defense, providing team value in coordinated boss farming groups. Cutlass is the starter weapon with no special ability and should be replaced at level 50 with Sandai Kitetsu.
Fighting Style Tier List
Legacy Piece features three fighting styles that complement your fruit and sword. Fighting styles have less impact on total power than fruits or swords, but they provide meaningful combo extensions and utility.
| Fighting Style | Tier | PvP Rating | PvE Rating | Key Strength | Obtain Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black Leg | A | 9/10 | 8/10 | Kick combo chains, fast recovery | Level 30 |
| Fishman Karate | A | 7/10 | 9/10 | Hybrid melee and ranged water attacks | Level 60 |
| Rokushiki | B | 6/10 | 6/10 | Mobility through Geppo and Soru | Level 100 |
Black Leg is the best fighting style for PvP because its kick combos chain fluidly with fruit abilities and sword attacks. The short recovery animations between kicks allow rapid combo extensions that overwhelm opponents. Black Leg pairs best with Goro, Mera, and Yoru.
Fishman Karate is the best fighting style for PvE because water shockwaves provide mid-range damage that keeps you safe from boss melee range. Fishman Karate is enhanced significantly by Fishman race, creating the strongest racial synergy in the game. Fishman Karate pairs best with Hie-Hie, Shusui, and Fishman race. For more on this style, see our Fishman Karate style guide.
Rokushiki is the mobility fighting style, providing Geppo for air movement, Soru for instant dashes, and Tekkai for damage reduction. While the mobility is valuable, Rokushiki lacks the damage output of the A tier styles, making it the weakest for pure combat. Rokushiki works best as a supplementary style for builds that need mobility.
Cross-Category Synergy Guide
The true power of the tier list emerges when you combine high-tier elements across categories. The strongest synergies in Legacy Piece combine S tier crowd control fruits with S tier weapons and S tier race buffs.
| Fruit | Race | Style | Sword | Build Type | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goro | Oni | Black Leg | Yoru | Maximum damage PvP | S |
| Hie-Hie | Oni | Fishman Karate | Shusui | Boss lock-down PvE | S |
| Mera | Mink | Black Leg | Shusui | Aggressive speed rush | A |
| Paw | Mink | Rokushiki | Wado Ichimonji | Reactive control PvP | A |
| Magma | Oni | Black Leg | Shusui | Mob farming PvE | A |
| Smoke | Mink | Black Leg | Wado Ichimonji | Budget stun control | B |
| Rubber | Oni | Black Leg | Sandai Kitetsu | Close-range PvP | B |
| Bomb | Fishman | Fishman Karate | Soul Solid | Burst + sustain PvE | B |
The Goro + Oni + Black Leg + Yoru build is the single strongest combination in Legacy Piece for both PvP and PvE. Goro stun confirms into Yoru combos with Oni enhancing all melee damage. The Hie-Hie + Oni + Fishman Karate + Shusui build is the best PvE boss farming combination because freeze provides longer CC windows than stun.
Tier Progression Priority
When starting Legacy Piece, focus on upgrading from C tier elements first. The priority order below maximizes your combat power gain per hour invested.
| Priority | Action | Time Investment | Power Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Replace Cutlass with Sandai Kitetsu | Low (50K Beli) | Medium |
| 2 | Learn Black Leg at level 30 | Low (Baratie quest) | High |
| 3 | Eat any B tier or higher fruit | Medium | High |
| 4 | Reroll race for Oni or Mink | Medium | Very High |
| 5 | Upgrade sword to Wado Ichimonji or Shusui | Medium | High |
| 6 | Hunt for A tier or S tier fruit | Very High | Very High |
| 7 | Farm Mihawk for Yoru | Very High | Maximum |
Devil Fruits have the largest impact on combat power, followed by race, then sword, then fighting style. However, upgrading your sword and learning a fighting style are faster to accomplish than obtaining S tier fruits or races, so prioritize these quick wins first.
FAQ
What is the best overall item in Legacy Piece July 2026? Goro (Lightning Logia) is the best overall item in Legacy Piece, offering the highest damage, stun combos, and versatility across all content. Yoru is the best weapon. Oni is the best race. These three S tier items form the foundation of the strongest build.
How does the July 2026 tier list differ from before? The Update 0.5 patch buffed Bomb's explosion radius by 15 percent and slightly reduced Hie-Hie freeze duration by 0.5 seconds. These changes marginally improved Bomb in B tier and narrowed the gap between Hie-Hie and Goro, but no tier positions changed. The S tier remains Goro, Hie-Hie, Oni, and Yoru.
Should I eat a B tier fruit or wait for S tier? Players below level 100 should eat any B tier or higher fruit immediately for the leveling advantage. Endgame players above level 400 can be more selective and hunt for A or S tier fruits while using their current fruit. The time spent without any fruit costs more progression than the difference between B and S tier.
Which category matters most for overall power? Devil Fruit has the largest impact on combat power, followed by race, then sword, then fighting style. Prioritize obtaining a good fruit first, then reroll race to Oni or Mink, then upgrade your sword, then optimize your fighting style.
Are C tier items ever worth using? C tier items serve as placeholders during early progression. Barrier has niche value in boss fights for defensive wall placement. Invisibility enables PvP ambush plays. However, all C tier items should be replaced as soon as possible for competitive play.
