How the Forge Works
The forge is the main weapon upgrade system in Broken Blade. It allows you to strengthen your weapons through regular upgrades and reforging.
Regular Upgrades
Use common materials and currency to increase weapon level and base stats. Available at any forge NPC.
Reforge
Transforms a weapon into a significantly stronger version. Requires rare boss materials and higher currency costs.
Weapon Upgrade Route
Get a Starter Weapon
Obtain a weapon from early boss drops or the shop. Any B-Tier or higher weapon works as a starter.
Upgrade to Max Level
Use the forge to upgrade your weapon to max level with common materials. Farm bosses for upgrade materials.
Farm for a Top-Tier Weapon
Once strong enough, farm high-level bosses for S-Tier weapon drops. See the Best Swords tier list for targets.
Upgrade and Reforge
Max upgrade your S-Tier weapon, then apply the reforge for maximum power. See Dragon Slayer Reforge for an example.
Best Items to Forge First
Prioritize S-Tier weapons first. They provide the best return on investment for forge materials.
Reforge Priorities
- Main Weapon — Reforge your primary weapon first for the biggest power increase.
- Boss Rush Weapon — If different from your main, reforge a weapon optimized for Boss Rush.
- Secondary Weapon — Reforge a backup weapon for variety or specific situations.
Do not reforge low-tier weapons. Save rare materials for S-Tier and A-Tier weapons only.
Common Forge Mistakes
Reforging low-tier weapons
Save rare reforge materials for S-Tier weapons. Low-tier weapons become obsolete quickly.
Spreading materials across multiple weapons
Focus on one weapon at a time. A single maxed weapon is better than several partially upgraded ones.
Skipping regular upgrades
Always max out regular upgrades before reforging. The reforge bonus scales with the weapon's base level.
Forging without a plan
Follow the upgrade route above and plan your material farming to avoid wasting resources.
