1 Loot To Forge Weapon Skills

Skill table checked 2026-09-23 · community-observed values

Every forge is two outcomes at once: an item, and a randomly assigned skill based on the weapon's type. These are the listed skill values — 11 Katana and 10 Greatsword entries — labelled community-observed, because the developer has never published a skill sheet.

How the Forge decides what you get

Step	What happens	What you control
1Bring ore home	Dungeon enemies drop ore; your backpack caps what leaves the run.	Which stage you farm, and capacity.
2Pick a tab	The Forge produces weapons, or armor/helmets.	Which family you are rolling.
3Craft	A weapon receives a randomly assigned skill based on its family.	Nothing — the skill is a roll.
4Equip	Gear lands in the Backpack and is not worn automatically.	Whether you actually equip it.
5Enchant	Coins add a weapon-specific boost.	Where your Coins go first.

The step players skip: forging does not equip. Open the Backpack, switch to the Weapon tab, select the craft and press Equip — a better weapon sitting unequipped changes nothing about your clear speed.

Katana skills (11 listed)

Fast multi-hits, thrusts and dashes. Best for burning down a single high-health blocker.

Skill	Rank	Listed damage	Cooldown	Behaviour
Light Slash	D	200%	6s	Basic forward slash
Fury Slash	C	300%	6.5s	Two-hit forward attack
Radiant Thrust	B	320%	5.5s	Forward dash and strike
Lume Thrust	A	365%	6s	Consecutive forward slashes
Shadow Claw Rift	A	350%	5s	Ghostly hands attack forward
Psionic Cross Slash	S	450%	7s	Cross-shaped forward slash
Omega Rush	S	470%	7s	Damages enemies in front
Wavebreak Slash	S	450%	6s	Forward wave blade
Endless Gale	SS	600%	8s	Whirlwind that lifts enemies
Wavebreak Slash (SS)	SS	700%	7s	Slash followed by an explosion
Blazing Pierce	SS	300%	7s	Charged thrust and wide slash

Highest listed Katana value: Wavebreak Slash (SS) at 700% total damage on a 7s cooldown. Note that "Wavebreak Slash" appears at both S and SS rank with different listed values — they are kept as separate rows rather than merged, so verify the displayed rank in-game.

Greatsword skills (10 listed)

Heavy cleaves, slams and area effects. Best for sweeping packed dungeon corridors.

Skill	Rank	Listed damage	Cooldown	Behaviour
Inferno Shatter	D	250%	6s	Forward slam
Whirl Strike	C	300%	6.5s	Charged wide slash
Fire Slash	B	455%	6s	Flaming sword wave
Mountain Rift	B	450%	7s	Leap-slam with area effect
Flame Vortex	A	610%	7.5s	Persistent light blade
Lightbreak Slash	A	620%	6s	Powerful forward slash
Rage Frenzy Slash	S	600%	8s	Two strikes then a slam
Peerless Sword Formation	S	700%	7s	Sword rain over enemies
Golden Collapse	SS	950%	8s	Dash, path damage and explosion
Abyss Cleave	SS	900%	8.5s	Leap-slash then ground slam

Highest listed Greatsword value: Golden Collapse at 950% total damage on a8s cooldown — the biggest single number on either list.

Katana or Greatsword?

Category	Katana	Greatsword
Listed skills	11	10
Rank range	D → SS	D → SS
Highest listed damage	700%	950%
Attack pattern	Forward slashes, thrusts, dashes, waves	Slams, rifts, sword rain, explosions
Cooldown range	5s – 8s	6s – 8.5s
Best for	A single tanky blocker	Packed rooms and clusters

Read cooldown before damage. Across both lists cooldowns sit between 5 and 8.5 seconds, and a short stage gives you only two or three casts — so a 700% hit on a 7-second cooldown can beat a 950% hit on 8 seconds if the fight ends before the second cast.

Rank is not damage. Blazing Pierce is SS rank with 300% listed damage, while Lume Thrust is A rank at 365%. Rank describes the tier slot, damage describes the number, and neither one alone tells you which clears faster.

Armor and helmets

The Armor tab rolls a random result between chest armor and a helmet, so you cannot target a slot — both outcomes raise Power, which means either one is progression rather than a miss.

Slot	What it does	Enchantable
Chest armor	Raises Power	Yes — the Enchant station has a slot for it
Helmet	Raises Power	Yes — the Enchant station has a slot for it
Weapon	Sets your damage and your Q skill	Yes — the Enchant station has a slot for it

Priority: enchant the weapon first, because damage is what gates stage progress. Move Coins to armor when you are dying on entry to a new stage rather than when your damage has stalled. See theprogression tier list for the full order.

Limits of this table

The values are listed, not measured. They come from a dated community table, not from the developer.
Roll odds are unknown. Nobody has published the chance of each skill when a weapon is forged.
Weapon names change. Community-reported named crafts appear and disappear between updates; we list skill behaviour instead of chasing item names.
Damage values are percentages of your own Power. A weapon with a bigger percentage on a lower Power total still loses.
