The Forge: Best Weapons, Upgrading, & More

Are you wondering how to get your hands on the most powerful weapons in The Forge? While not all players of this popular Roblox RPG agree on which weapons are the absolute best, some options undeniably pack more of a punch than others. In this article, we’ll explain which weapons do the most damage (and how that balances out with other traits, like attack speed and range). We’ll also give you the recipes you need to create all the best A and S-Tier weapons in the game, from powerhouses like the colossal sword to more balanced options like straight swords and katanas.

Best Weapons in The Forge: Quick Guide

The Forge players agree that the best weapons are great axes, colossal swords, and great swords. Katanas are a strong runner-up, and there are also several A-tier weapons in the straight sword and gauntlet categories. Some of the most powerful weapons include Dragon Slayer, Skull Crusher, and Comically Large Spoon.

Colossal Swords

These swords deal a ton of damage, but they’re slow.

Colossal swords have the highest DMG rating and attack range of any weapon in The Forge, which makes them a fan favorite. However, they’re also the slowest. Like great axes, these S-Tier weapons require a lot of rare ores to craft. You’re not likely to be able to make one of these early in the game.

Some of the most sought-after colossal swords include Dragon Slayer (DMG: 22; Attack Speed: 1.12 seconds; Attack Range: 10), Skull Crusher (DMG: 24; Attack Speed: 1.4 seconds; Attack Range: 10), and Comically Large Spoon (DMG: 18; Attack Speed: 1.2 seconds; Attack Range: 10). Try the following recipes to potentially generate a colossal sword:

Great Axes

Great axes are powerful, but hard to craft. These S-Tier weapons deal out tons of damage and have an impressive attack range, although their attack speed is relatively slow compared to lighter weapons (such as straight swords). In order to forge one of these, you’ll need to gather a ton of ores.

Some of the most powerful great axes include Scythe (DMG: 14.25; Attack Speed: 0.95 seconds; Attack Range: 9) and Double Battle Axe (DMG: 15.75; Attack Speed: 1.05 seconds; Attack Range: 9). Try the following recipes to potentially generate a great axe:

These swords are well-balanced, with decent damage and attack speed.

They also have an excellent attack range.

Long Sword (DMG: 12; Attack Speed: 1.1 seconds; Attack Range: 9) and Crusader Sword (DMG: 12; Attack Speed: 1 second; Attack Range: 9) are considered some of the best weapons in the game. Try the following recipes to potentially generate a great sword:

Straight Swords

Straight swords are less powerful, but faster and easier to craft than S-tier weapons. Not all straight swords are created equal, but they tend to have great attack speed and a decent range. They also require far fewer materials to craft than the more powerful weapons in The Forge, making them an excellent option for players who haven’t advanced super far into the game.

The best straight sword is Chaos (DMG: 9.75; Attack Speed: 0.5 seconds; Attack Range: 8), with Cutlass (DMG: 9.375; Attack Speed: 0.66; Attack Range: 8) being a close second. Try the following recipes to potentially generate a straight sword:

Recipe Type	Multiplier	Required Ores	Traits	Chance of Straight Sword
Rare	x2.33	10x Diamond Ores 2x Eye Ores	-4% HP +6% Weapon DMG	3%
Rare	x2.36	9x Diamond Ores 2x Eye Ores	-4.68 HP +7.02% Weapon DMG	5%

Katanas

Katanas are similar to straight swords, with slightly better attack range. Katanas are well-balanced weapons that fall solidly into the A-Tier. They’re fast (although some of the better straight swords have the edge when it comes to attack speed), do a decent amount of damage, and have an excellent attack range. Like straight swords, they’re also relatively easy to craft, even if you haven’t collected a huge number of rare ores.

Uchigatana (DMG: 8.5; Attack Speed: 0.6 seconds; Attack Range: 9) and Tachi (DMG: 8.93; Attack Speed: 0.63 seconds; Attack Range: 9) are both excellent weapons. Try the following recipes to potentially generate a katana:

Recipe Type	Multiplier	Required Ores	Traits	Chance of Katana
Rare	x2.33	10x Diamond Ores 2x Eye Ores	-4% HP +6% Weapon DMG	72%

Gauntlets

These short-range weapons do a healthy dose of damage. They’re also pretty fast. If you enjoy fisticuffs, gauntlets are a solid choice, and they are easy to craft without a lot of rare ores. Like straight swords, they’re variable in quality, but the best ones are considered A-Tier.

The best gauntlets are Boxing Gloves (DMG: 8; Attack Speed: 0.59 seconds; Attack Range: 6) and Relevator (DMG: 9.6; Attack Speed: 0.69 seconds; Attack Range: 6). Try the following recipes to potentially generate gauntlets:

How to Upgrade Your Weapons

1
Enhance your weapons to increase their base stats. You can make an awesome base weapon even greater with enhancements. Enhancing a weapon can improve things like its attack damage, speed, and range. To do it, visit the Enhancer NPC. You can find an Enhancer on every island. Select the weapon you want to enhance and give the Enhancer the required types of Essence for the enhancement you want. ^{[1]

- You can collect Essence by killing enemies.
- Once you enhance a weapon to level 3, you unlock the ability to enchant it by adding Runes!
2
Add enchantments to your weapons with Runes. Like Essence, you can get Runes by killing enemies. Runes can give your weapons additional properties, such as certain types of magical damage (e.g., poison, burn, or explosions). They can also heal you during battle or increase your chance of rare item drops.
- Once your weapon is upgraded to level 3, ask the Enhancer to add Rune slots.
- When you’ve collected a Rune you want to add to your weapon, visit the Runemaker NPC. The Runemaker has locations at Stonewake's Cross and The Forgotten Kingdom.
- You’ll need to pay a fee in gold and Essence to attach the Rune.
- You can also pay a small fee in gold to have the Runemaker detach a rune if you want to swap it out for a different one!
