The best weapons in God of War continue to expand with the creation of the Draupnir Spear. This grand weapon was the design of the Lady, Brok and Sindri, and is the perfect weapon for a Spartan warrior. Its creation provides Kratos with even more power in God of War: Ragnarok, and as such, there are ways to turn the Draupnir Spear into something better.
When it comes to upgrading the power of Kratos in God of War: Ragnarok, players will need to know the best Draupnir Spear handles, which ones are best utilized for the art of war, and those that can handle the prophecy of Ragnarok, and the full might of the Aesir.
Updated February 20, 2024 by Paul Woodward: Every weapon in Kratos' arsenal allows him to adapt to any situation he may encounter on the battlefield. In addition to the Leviathan Axe and the infamous Blades of Chaos that Kratos is well known for, he also gained a new weapon in God of War: Ragnarok known as the Draupnir Spear. Just like with the other weapons, there are many handles that players can obtain and equip to the Draupnir Spear. Not only do they provide increases to stats, but they also allow players to tailor their weapons and gear to their play style.
God Of War Ragnarok: The Best Leviathan Axe Attachments, Ranked
The Leviathan Axe returns in God of War Ragnarok, and players are going to need the best attachments to survive the war against the Aesir.
8 Mighty Olympic Sauroter
A Spear Handle Suited For Throwing
- Defense: 9
- Cooldown: 17
- Luck: 12
With the Detonator's Might perk, players can detonate their thrown spears with a Moderate Luck chance to increase their Strength and Stagger Resistance, a great bonus for those that play tactically.
The only problem with this perk is that it relies on players throwing their spears, whereas some may prefer to simply slash and thrust their way through a fight. This perk means that they'll have to use more ranged attacks than they may initially like.
7 Hind Of Weightless Recovery
A Good Handle For Reducing Cooldown
- Defense: 18
- Luck: 22
Hind of Weightless Recovery has the Maelstrom Refresh perk, which will have players granted a Blessing of Cooldown based on their stats in Luck, and only when the Maelstrom gauge is fully charged. Thor wouldn't stand a chance with this.
The downside of this Hind is the fact that keeping the gauge full is hard, as one hit on Kratos and it depletes. However, cooldowns allow for runic attacks in God of War: Ragnarok to be recharged, making the fight more in Kratos' favor.
6 Lion's Roar Sauroter
Provides A Strong Boost to Defense And Stun
- Defense: 32
Assisted by the Stunning Blast perk, the Lion's Roar Sauroter will allow players to have a greatly increased damage to Stun from the Gale Force skill, which is activated by holding L2 + R2 at the same time.
Not only is Stun great for building up a Stun grab, but the focus of this sauroter is Defense, which can grow well past 40 points, and keep Kratos and his defense at the top of its game.
5 Hind Of The Four Winds
A Good Way To Boost Strength And Defense
- Strength: 22
- Defense: 18
Thanks to the Slicing Fresh perk, players will be able to create a Concussive Wave at the end of their R2 Spear combo. This wave can create Stun, and stagger enemies, which makes it much easier to dispatch them.
God Of War Ragnarok: Best Runic Summons, Ranked
Runic Summons are a great ability that has returned to God of War: Ragnarok, but which ones are the best for players to focus on?
The Hind of the Four Winds also focuses its stats on Strength and Defense, which are 2 great primary stats to stay invested in to give Kratos the best weapon in God of War: RagnarokNorse Mythology.
4 Charging Assault Sauroter
Increases Stun While Occasionally Providing Unstoppable Aura
- Defense: 23
- Vitality: 7
- Luck: 7
Kratos does seem to love charging into a rageful fight, and with the Fearless Sprinter perk, he can do just that with even less fear than he already has. This perk allows Kratos to apply more Stun during his Hoplite Lunge and Phalanx Breaker skills, which are achieved through Sprint + R1/R2. It also has a chance for Moderate Luck chance for Unstoppable Aura, granting invincibility.
3 Hind Of Deadly Vitality
Provides A Good Stat Boost And A Chance Of Healing
- Defense: 22
- Cooldown: 17
- Luck: 17
For every successful kill with this Spear, players could be granted a Health Burst thanks to the Slayer's Health Burst perk attached to the handle. Players will need a moderate amount of Luck for the Health Burst, but luckily the Hind of Deadly Vitality focuses on Luck, Cooldown and Defense. The skill in Luck is appreciated thanks to it being the focus of the Perk.

2 Warrior's Echo Sauroter
Adds Bonus Damage And A Noticeable Stat Boost
- Strength: 23
- Defense: 23
- Runic: 29
"A weapon is only as good as the warrior who wields it." A truer weapon description has never been said, as the warrior who wields the Draupnir Spear is none other than the God Killer, Kratos, son of Zeus. Breaker of fate. The Warrior's Echo Sauroter features the Sonic Piercer perk, which allows Kratos to deal bonus damage and build bonus Maelstrom skill charges against Sonic-afflicted enemies.
This great Spear attachment in God of War: Ragnarok also focuses on Strength, Defense and Runic, meaning that the more they upgrade it, the more powerful it will become, thanks to its stats and perk.
1 Hind Of The Nine Realms
Allows Players To Trigger A Realm Shift When Using Violent Maelstrom
- Runic: 26
- Vitality: 26
- Cooldown: 26
Two highly important mechanics in God of War: Ragnarok are the L1 + Triangle ability, and Realm Shifts. With the Momentous Shift perk, players will be able to harness both to their fullest potential.
Players can activate Violent Maelstrom through damage build-up, to then activate it with a Realm Shift. This means that the Draupnir Spear will do more damage, and all whilst enemies are frozen in time and shot with arrows from Atreus. This combo can easily clear the battlefield. In addition to this great effect, the boost to Runic, Vitality, and Cooldown provided by Hind of the Nine Realms is spectacular as well.
