Broken Blade is a fast Norse-themed action RPG on Roblox. You slash through monster hordes, forge custom blades, and chain endless boss fights. Your power does not come from one stat. It stacks across four systems: your race, your element, your blessing, and your weapon. Accessories then push that number even higher.
We have spent serious time grinding this game, and one thing is clear. The right combination melts bosses in seconds. The wrong one leaves you stuck farming for hours. This Broken Blade tier list ranks every option that matters, so you never waste a rare reroll or a pile of forging materials again.
Meta and Context (Read This First)
A tier list without context is just noise. So here is exactly what these rankings cover.
- Game version: Current Excalibur and Eclipse update meta, June 2026.
- Mode focus: PvE, Boss Rush, and general farming. This is where Broken Blade actually lives.
- Stage focus: Mid to late game, where damage checks and farming speed start to matter most.
- Level cap: 15,000, with reroll gates at Level 500 and Level 1,000.
These picks reflect the current community consensus and our own playtime. Balance patches can shift things fast, so always check your own numbers in-game after an update.
How We Ranked Everything
We did not rank by vibes. Every placement comes down to three factors that decide real damage.
- Raw multiplier size. Bigger damage, crit, and attack speed numbers win in a boss-rush game. Clear speed is gated by damage per hit.
- Crit synergy. The endgame is built around critical hits. Picks that stack crit chance and crit damage compound together, which is why the best build pairs them all.
- How realistic it is to get. A Mythical roll you never see does not help you today. So we rate attainable A-tier picks highly, not just theoretical bests.
Quick Answer: Best in Each Category
If you only read one section, read this one.
| System | Best Overall | Best Realistic Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Race | Aesir (Mythical) | Elf, Vanir, or Nether (match your weapon) |
| Element | Thunder (crit builds) | Fire (universal damage) |
| Blessing | Odin (Mythical) | Thor or any Legendary |
| Weapon | Excalibur, Yamato, Dragon Slayer | Light Scar (early game) |
| Accessory | Pendragon | Solar Halo, Crimson Curse, or Icebound |
The strongest pure DPS stack is Aesir, Thunder, and Odin on a crit-focused build. We break down each system below, with budget options for free players.
Broken Blade Race Tier List
Races act like your character class. Each one grants passive stat bonuses that stack with everything else. You unlock race rerolls at Level 500. There are nine races across six rarities.
Here is our Broken Blade race tier list.
| Tier | Race | Rarity | Key Bonuses |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Aesir | Mythical | +75% Damage, +10% Crit Chance, +100% Crit Damage, +5% Attack Speed |
| A | Elf | Legendary | +75% Damage, +25% Sword Damage |
| A | Vanir | Legendary | +75% Damage, +25% Katana Damage |
| A | Nether | Legendary | +75% Damage, +25% Buster Damage |
| B | Flame | Epic | +50% Damage, large health pool |
| B | Frost | Epic | +50% Damage, damage reduction |
| C | Giant | Rare | Survivability only, no offense |
| C | Dwarves | Uncommon | Health only |
| D | Human | Common | Default starter, smallest bonus |
Best Race in Broken Blade for Your Build
Aesir sits alone at the top, and it is not close. It buffs almost every offensive stat at once and fits any weapon. The catch is the drop rate, which sits near 0.03%, or roughly 1 in 3,150 rolls. Do not burn your whole grind chasing it.
Here is the insight most guides miss. The three Legendary races are effectively S-tier if you commit to one weapon. Elf, Vanir, and Nether each add +25% to one weapon line on top of +75% base damage. Match your race to the blade you actually forge. A Vanir Katana build is not far behind a raw Aesir build, and it is far more realistic to roll.
Flame and Frost are solid stopping points while you hunt for legendaries. Reroll Human the moment you hit Level 500.
Broken Blade Element Tier List
Elements add a second damage layer and also unlock at Level 500. There are six elements, and here is the part many players miss. Elements stack. You can hold several at once, so the system rewards patience.
This is our Broken Blade element tier list.
| Tier | Element | Rarity | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Thunder | Mythical | Crit Damage +50% |
| S | Fire | Legendary | Damage +50% |
| A | Wind | Epic | Attack Speed +15% |
| B | Life | Rare | Life Steal +3% |
| C | Water | Uncommon | Energy Recovery +1.0 per second |
| D | Earth | Common | Damage Reduction +10% |
Best element in Broken Blade
So what is the best element in Broken Blade? It depends on your build, and the answer matters more than people think.
- Pick Thunder if you already have crit chance from Aesir or a crit blessing. Crit damage scales harder than anything else once your crit rate is high.
- Pick Fire if your crit chance is still low. The flat +50% damage works on every single hit, with no setup needed. It is the safest universal pick for Sword, Katana, and Buster.
Wind earns A-tier on faster weapons, since more swings mean more crits over time. Life, Water, and Earth help you survive early, but replace them once damage checks arrive.
One practical tip on stacking. Open your reroll settings and set the stop point to Legendary for a five-element stack, or Mythical for a six-element stack. This stops you wasting rerolls on commons.
Broken Blade Blessings Tier List
Blessings hit the hardest of all three systems. They also take the longest to unlock, opening at Level 1,000. There are 21 blessings, and the gap between an average one and a top one is huge.
Here is how we rank the blessings that matter.
| Tier | Blessing | Rarity | Key Bonuses |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Odin | Mythical | +200% Damage, +75% Crit Damage, +25% Buster Damage, +12% Attack Speed |
| S | Jormungandr | Mythical | +175% Damage, +70% Crit Damage, +12% Attack Speed, +10% Damage Reduction |
| S | Fenrir | Mythical | +150% Damage, +8% Crit Damage, +25% Buster Damage, +8% Life Steal |
| S | Hel | Mythical | +125% Damage, +75% Crit Damage, +25% Buster Damage, +60% Health |
| S | Surtr | Mythical | +100% Damage, +25% Buster Damage, +12% Attack Speed, +0.6 Energy per second |
| A | Thor | Legendary | +70% Damage, +50% Crit Damage, +20% Buster Damage |
| A | Loki | Legendary | +65% Damage, +8% Attack Speed, +0.5 Energy per second |
| A | Tyr | Legendary | +60% Damage, +8% Crit Damage, +6% Life Steal |
| A | Heimdall | Legendary | +50% Damage, +20% Crit Damage, +7% Crit Chance |
| A | Freyja | Legendary | Strong damage with defensive value |
| B | Baldr, Eir, Freyr, Frigg, Njord, Vali, Vidar | Various | Reliable filler, no game-changing spike |
| C | Einherjar, Valkyrie, Light, Dark | Various | Early-game only, replace quickly |
How to Pick The Best Blessing
The five Mythicals carry the largest single damage numbers in the game. Odin leads with that +200% damage, which is the biggest multiplier you can equip. Take it for raw output every time.
Pick by your weakness, not just by name.
- Odin: highest raw damage. The default best.
- Jormungandr: near-Odin offense plus 10% damage reduction. Best if boss mechanics keep killing you.
- Hel: big crit package and a 60% health pool. Best for survivable damage.
- Surtr: energy recovery for skill-heavy play. Best for spamming abilities.
- Fenrir: life steal sustain. Best for long farming sessions.
Notice a pattern. Most top blessings carry +25% Buster Damage, so Buster builds get extra value from the meta blessings. That is one reason Buster stays viable despite a weaker base. Thor is the best Legendary blessing and a strong target before you hit the Level 1,000 grind.
Broken Blade Weapons Tier List
There are three weapon types, and each plays differently.
- Sword: wide swings clear groups fast. Best for farming and leveling.
- Katana: highest single-target damage. Best for boss fights.
- Buster: heavy burst. The weakest base type, but the Dragon Slayer keeps it relevant.
Pick one type and build toward its strongest blade. The biggest beginner mistake is splitting materials across all three. Match your weapon to your race, then farm one path.
Here is the full weapon list, ranked within each type.
| Type | Weapon | Stars | Tier | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sword | Excalibur | 4★ | S | Found on the Jotunheim Sky Spire. Huge AoE skill, the best Sword for farming mobs |
| Sword | Night Whisper | 3★ | B | Solid mid-game Sword with three forge slots |
| Sword | Wind Fang | 2★ | C | Cheap early Sword to bridge the gap |
| Sword | Stone Cleaver | 2★ | C | Another reliable early Sword option |
| Sword | Nameless Sword | 1★ | D | Your starter blade. Replace it as soon as you can |
| Katana | Yamato | 5★ | S | Added in the Reforge the Yamato update. Currently the strongest weapon in the game |
| Katana | Moon Cut | 4★ | A | Crafted with 100 Moon Pieces. The realistic best Katana for most players |
| Katana | Light Scar | 3★ | A | Cheap to craft with a no-cooldown skill. The best early farming weapon |
| Buster | Dragon Slayer | 4★ | S | Spammable skill with no energy drain and the best sustained DPS |
| Buster | Explosion | 5★ | B | Megumin's staff. A 5-star held back by a single long-cooldown skill |
| Buster | Soul Devourer | 3★ | C | The first Buster. Slow swings make it a stepping stone |
Best Weapon in Broken Blade to Grind
Light Scar is the smartest early investment in the entire game. It is a cheap Katana to craft, and its skill has no cooldown. That makes farming bosses fast and painless long before you can afford a 4-star.
For the absolute top end, Yamato wins. It is the second 5-star weapon in the game, after Explosion, and it sits on Midgard Island. Its five forge slots stack more elements than any 4-star, and its transformation skill pushes damage higher still. But the unlock cost is brutal, with 1,000 Red Orbs farmed from Space Invaders plus billions in money. Yamato also pairs best with the Space element, so plan your reroll around it. For most players, Moon Cut is the realistic best Katana, since it only needs 100 Moon Pieces to craft and still bursts bosses hard.
Explosion deserves a quick word. It is technically a 5-star Buster modeled on Megumin's staff, so it sounds top-tier on paper. In practice, its single skill and long cooldown hold it back, which is why we place it below the 4-star Dragon Slayer. Chase it for fun or collection, not for raw power.
Dragon Slayer is the best all-round endgame weapon. Its wide swings clear crowds, its skill spams without draining energy, and its sustained DPS is the highest over a long fight. It does demand rare Sacrifice Pieces and Crimson Beherits, so treat it as an endgame project. If you would rather skip the longest grinds, some players pick up Broken Blade Items to speed up their progress.
One last tip. Soul Forge your weapon at the forge to push damage even further. Every forge level adds a real multiplier, so do not stop the moment you craft a blade.
Broken Blade Accessories Tier List
Accessories are equippable armor pieces. They buff damage, health, crit, and weapon-specific stats. Almost every one drops from a boss, so your farm route decides what you get. There are more than ten in the game.
| Tier | Accessory | Source | Stat Buffs |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Pendragon | Arthur boss (Sky Spire) | +70% Damage, +320% Health, +25% Sword Damage |
| S | Artoria | Artoria boss (Sky Spire) | +65% Damage, +150% Health, +15% Sword Damage |
| A | Berserker | Guts boss (Eclipse) | +60% Damage, +100% Health, +10% Buster Damage |
| A | Fury | Veyrath boss | +50% Damage, +60% Health, +80% Crit Damage |
| B | Shadow Oath | Gelaros boss | +30% Damage, +10% Crit Chance, +140% Health |
| B | Icebound | Nivaron boss | +29% Damage, +5% Buster Damage, +120% Health |
| B | Solar Halo | Velik boss | +28% Damage, +5% Katana Damage, +100% Health |
| B | Crimson Curse | Ragaros boss | +27% Damage, +5% Sword Damage, +80% Health |
| B | Hellflare Guard | Magador boss | +26% Damage, +40% Crit Damage, +50% Health |
| C | Wraithbound | Moraros boss | +10% Damage, +20% Health (easy early pickup) |
Pendragon is the clear best overall, with +70% damage and a massive +320% health pool. It sits behind a tough Sky Spire boss, though. The smart play is to grab a weapon-matched B-tier piece first. Solar Halo suits Katana mains, Crimson Curse suits Sword users, and Icebound suits Buster. These are easy upgrades while you chase the top drops.
One farming tip from experience. Run these bosses as Raid Bosses on Hard or Nightmare, not as Normal kills. The drop rates jump hugely, often ten times higher or more. Wraithbound is the exception, since it drops at around 4% from the Normal boss, making it the easiest starter piece. There is also a separate Megumin Accessory that pairs specifically with the Explosion weapon, so only chase it if you are building that staff.
Best Builds Using These Tiers
Rankings only matter when you stack them together. Here are the combinations we actually run, plus a budget version for free players.
Endgame pure DPS
- Race: Aesir
- Element: Thunder
- Blessing: Odin
- Weapon: Excalibur, Moon Cut, or Dragon Slayer
- Accessory: Pendragon
This crit-focused stack deletes bosses faster than anything else in the game.
Buster burst
- Race: Nether
- Element: Thunder
- Blessing: Odin or Surtr
- Weapon: Dragon Slayer
The +25% Buster Damage on top blessings compounds hard here. This is the highest single-hit ceiling available.
Katana speed farming
- Race: Vanir
- Element: Wind or Thunder
- Blessing: Loki or Odin
- Weapon: Moon Cut or Yamato
Every piece supports attack speed or Katana damage. Great for clearing repeated farm routes.
Budget and F2P build
- Race: any weapon-matched Legendary (Elf, Vanir, or Nether)
- Element: Fire
- Blessing: any Legendary, ideally Thor
- Weapon: Light Scar early, then your 4-star goal
- Accessory: Wraithbound, then a weapon-matched B-tier piece
You do not need a perfect build to reach the mid game. Focus on one strong weapon and one good race, then optimize later. Reroll items are farmable, so early choices are never permanent.
Conclusion
Broken Blade rewards synergy over raw stats. The right race, element, blessing, and weapon stacked together turn an average build into a boss-melting machine. Chase the realistic A-tier picks first, then hunt the Mythicals once your farm route is solid.
