The Blacksmith purpose is to increase the stats of your heroes by giving them better Armor and Weapons. There are three areas of the Blasksmith that can be improved:

• Weaponsmithing: allows the Blacksmith to upgrade weapons, increasing a hero's DMG, CRIT and SPD
• Armorsmithing: allows the Blacksmith to upgrade armor, increasing a hero's MAX HP and DODGE
• Furnace: reduces the cost of Armor and Weapon smithing.

Lastly, heroes can only upgrade their equipment at certain resolve levels.
