A hero's Weapons determine their base Damage, Critical Chance and Speed.

Upgrading

Weapons are upgraded by spending Gold at the Blacksmith. The Blacksmith's Weaponsmithing level must be first upgraded before higher levels of weapons are available. Additionally, a hero may only upgrade their weapons once they have reached a certain Resolve Level.

Weapons Level Required Resolve Level Required Weaponsmithing Level Base Cost
1 0
2 1 1 750
3 2 2 1750
4 3 3 3000
5 5 4 6000

Weapon upgrade costs may be reduced by Blacksmith upgrades, Quirks, and Town Events. Heroes recruited at a higher starting level will have their weapons already upgraded.

Strategy

  • Most weapon upgrades follow a standard pattern, granting +1 speed each at levels 3 and 5. However, the DLC heroes gain more speed relative to the other heroes, making their early weapon upgrades especially powerful and cost-effective:
    • The Exclusive to The Shieldbreaker DLCShieldbreaker gains +1 speed at weapon level 2 and +2 speed at level 3.
    • The Exclusive to The Crimson Court DLCFlagellant gains +2 speed at weapon level 3.
