Alright folks, every time Conan Exiles gets an update, the “meta” shifts because everyone only looks at whatever drops the most or whatever a YouTuber mentions that week. But there are two weapons one Agility, one Strength that have been meta for YEARS and nobody talks about them because they’re either:
-
not in the common loot pools
-
craftable (so people assume they’re mid‑tier)
-
or dropped by mobs most players ignore
So here are the two easiest, strongest, most slept‑on meta weapons in the entire game.
1. Curved Slayer Katana (Agility Meta)
Why it’s meta:
It hits harder than almost every “popular” agility weapon, and it drops like candy from yellow glowing wight bosses but nobody farms those mobs anymore, so the weapon basically vanished from the community’s memory.
Damage Stats:
-
71 Light / 85 Heavy (base)
-
78 Light / 92 Heavy (with Advanced Weapon Damage Kit)
That’s higher than most daggers, claws, short swords, and even some legendary katanas. It also drops more offten than Musashi’s Black Blade.
Why it’s secretly busted:
-
Bleed
-
Hyperarmor
-
Great reach
-
Thralls actually use katana heavy chains correctly
-
Easy to farm
-
Repairable
-
Scales insanely well with Agility builds
What you need for full potential:
-
Advanced Weapon Damage Kit
-
20 Agility build (for players)
-
Female agility thralls (they animate faster and hit harder)
If you want an agility weapon that’s easy to get, hits like a truck, and isn’t part of the “common meta,” this is it.
2. Blackheart Blade (Strength Meta)
Why it’s meta:
Because it’s literally the strongest two‑handed sword in the game — and it’s craftable.
That’s why nobody talks about it.
People assume “crafted = weak.”
Not this one.
Damage Stats:
-
91 Light / 108 Heavy (base)
-
98 Light / 115 Heavy (with Advanced Weapon Damage Kit)
-
Armor Penetration: 26.2%
-
Durability: 4698
-
Weight: 9.19
-
Effects: Cripple, Cursed
But corruption doesn’t matter to thralls and you will not get corrupted by them using it.
Yes, you read that right.
It outdamages almost every legendary 2H sword in the game.
Why it’s secretly busted:
-
Craftable = infinite repairs
-
No RNG
-
No boss farming
-
Works perfectly with thrall AI
-
Best heavy‑attack chunk damage in the game
-
Can be transmogged into ANY medieval 2H sword look
What you need for full potential:
-
T4 Bladesmith (for max damage)
-
Advanced Weapon Damage Kit
-
Thaumaturgy Bench (to transmog it)
-
Steel 2H Sword for skin (for medieval knight look)
-
Poitain 2H Sword for Skin (for Scottish claymore look)
-
Conan’s Atlantean 2H Sword for Skin
This is the easiest, strongest, most slept‑on Strength weapon in Conan Exiles.
Why these two weapons are the REAL meta:
-
They’re easy to get
-
They hit harder than the “popular” meta weapons
-
They work perfectly with thrall AI
-
The one is repairable
-
They scale insanely well
-
They fit medieval, knight, samurai, or agility builds
-
They’ve been strong for YEARS and nobody talks about them
If you’re tired of chasing RNG chest drops or following whatever the current YouTuber meta is, try these two. They’re simple, powerful, and reliable and they’ve been hiding in plain sight.
