Chimes are the catalyst which Clerics use to cast Miracles. They are very straightforward weapons, almost all of them have the same Weapon Art – Gentle Prayer, except the Sacred Chime of Fillianore, which has the Pray for Favor Weapon Art. Of course, they can also be used as decent physical weapons, but their prowess lies in their magical potential. This article will cover five of the best Sacred Chimes in Dark Souls 3 and what makes them useful for general combat and Faith builds.

5. Sacred Chime of Fillianore

This Sacred Chime was introduced in the Ringed City DLC and is the only Sacred Chime to have a different Weapon Art compared to all the other ones. While they have the Gentle Prayer art, the Sacred Chime of Fillianore has Pray for Favor, which gives you a small amount of health regeneration for a certain time. Besides this, it also increases the range of AOE Miracles.

Decent damage
Boosts range of AOE Miracles
Very nice for Faith builds

Sacred Chime of Fillianore stats:

4. Caitha’s Chime

Caitha’s Chime has some unique functions regarding the casting of light and dark Miracles, where it will apply a different scaling based on the Miracle type.

Its weapon art is quite useful and the scaling it has is excellent.

Versatile scaling
Good damage
Reliable

Here we have a Chime that has some finicky scaling mechanics, where it has certain spots in your Faith level that grant more power than others, for example, it is strongest between 29 and 35 Faith or 44 to 49 Faith. Anything other than those values results in a weaker weapon. Other than that, it has some great Faith scaling and general damage to help you in the game.

What makes the Cleric’s Sacred Chime great:

Very specific scaling
Good damage
Very good for Faith builds

Cleric’s Sacred Chime stats:

2. Priest’s Chime

The Priest’s Chime has a similar scaling mechanic to the Cleric’s Sacred Chime, albeit it does not have any significant buffs to its usefulness. It only lessens in efficiency at 29-33 Faith but after that, it is an excellent weapon. It has a great spellbuff bonus of 224 at 60 Faith.

What makes the Priest’s Chime great:

Good damage
High scaling
Reliable
Great for most builds

1. Yorshka’s Chime

At the top spot, we have the best Sacred Chime in Dark Souls 3 – Yorshka’s Chime. The most important thing to note about this Chime is that it has the highest spellbuff in the game at 247 at 60 Faith. This leads to more powerful Miracles and coupled with the insane scaling already present on the weapon, it is a monster and a must-have for any Faith build.
