take the new blade if it was stronger than before. My tips 4 u guys are: use the same weapon all the time if it was the same type, don't just change your weapon with the new one that you just found coz you just make your own hard work go to a waste, keep using it even when u found a different type of edge,just collect every weapon that u have found until u found a workshop.when u reach a workshop, try to combine those blades, see the result of what the 'A' blade combined with 'B' blade become of, see the class and affinity result and most of all, see the changes of the name of the blade and its strength,take a good care of the material changes to such as bronze, or iron,etc. Well actually i used 2 kinds since i found the 'kiss out' which is a silver dagger which works best against undead, and did pretty well on phantoms and evil coz its light affinity is pretty good.but after i forged the 'Wakizashi' i never need another weapon as it cause soooo much damage to any enemy Through the 3/4 of the game i figured out on my own about the forging system, before i finally used the guide from FAQs and ended up using the strongest 1H sword in first play-through= the wakizashi with each of the human, undead and dragon, and physics affinity class are 100.it makes it a 'Divine Weapon' class.well it's not without hard work though. Well, i finished this game with only one type of edge and sword, which is similar to the sword we ever used from the first time : scimitar. The best thing you can do for yourself in workshops is to make sure you put together your best blade of each type with a grip which has the highest possible stat in the same type.įrom what i've read in this thread, you guys are worrying way too much on edge type of the blade. Lastly, a significant portion of the the guaranteed weapon drops/find from chests throughout the game have a blade on a grip that does it no good due to mismatched edge-Type. Any other Affinity but Dark would be better, including physical. Try NOT to use the Evil practice dummy as it raises light Affinity, and the last boss is actually strong against it. If you take the time to make anything at all, make a 1H edged Evil weapon once you're at the end of the game. You will primarily socket gems to raise these instead. It powers your gear up, but only in large amounts, and even then Type counts far more.

These all cost only 25HP and have 1.1x attack power.īuilding Class and Affinity are for powergaming, if your stats simply aren't cutting it, and to make life easier with the final boss. Use break arts freely to 'change' your edge type: Rending Gale and Sunder are piercing, Whistle String, Bear Claw, and Mistral Edge are blunt. In contrast, you can't have Herakles + Enlighten, nor could you have Herakles + Leadbones, or Prostasia + Soil Fusion on the same target. Focus less on Class (dragon, beast, etc.) or reforging than using the strongest weapon (1H + shield preferred) of each Type (edged, blunt, piercing) with buffs and debuffs.Įach target (yourself included) can have one buff or debuff on its stats and one on its equipment, so you can have Herakles + Prostasia, or Invigorate + Luft Fusion.
