Dragon Age: The Veilguard lets players flex their own creativity by letting them forge their own path through the story with unique playstyles. To facilitate this, the game offers three distinct classes, with three sub-classes called specializations. Mixing and matching these classes and sub-classes, and then pairing them with The Veilguard’s massive selection of weapons, lets players carve out their own distinct identity in the game. The Rogue class, in particular, offers a wide array of Rogue weapons to pick from, each having perks that make it an attractive choice. In this guide, we shall go over the five best Rogue weapons in Dragon Age: The Veilguard and where you can find them.

The Grip and Rip is a two-handed unique longbow that comes across as a x2wbit of a black sheep in the Rogue class. The longbow has a -50 percent on ranged attacks and has average stats. Why does it make it to the list then? This is because the longbow lets you carry +7 arrows and allows you to shoot three arrows at the same time, making your shots more widespread. The weapon is perfect for crowd control and is found in a chest right after the Fangscorcher boss. 

2) Arainai’s Talon

The Arainai’s Talon is a unique longsword and serves as an offhand weapon for the Rogue. The weapon boasts respectable stats, but its real selling point is the +30 percent boost on Necrotic damage. The longsword is obtained in the Heart of Corruption quest in the game. 

3) Azure Bow

The second bow on this list, the Azure Bow is a Rare Shortbow that is found inside the Warden’s Vault. The weapon complements the hit-and-run playstyle synonymous with the Rogue class through its hip-fire ability. With this, you can either take fights from a distance or run in close to spray at enemies. 

4) Optimist’s Span
