Legendary Items Tier List

How This Ranking Works

Tier measures general run value, not a mandatory pick order. The rating combines immediate impact, late-run scaling, trigger reliability, build coverage and how late the item can appear before its effect loses value.

A	Big Bonk	2% on-hit chance to BONK for 20x damage.	Available by default	Fast-hit burst builds High hit frequency offsets its low proc rate and creates large burst spikes.

Legendary Drops and Luck

Luck can improve rarity outcomes, but it does not guarantee a Legendary roll or a particular item. The exact chest formula is not available in published patch notes, so this page does not publish a fixed drop percentage or a minimum-Luck requirement.

Unlocking an item and seeing it during a run are separate steps. Check the item detail page for its prerequisite, then make sure it is available in your active item pool.
