Forge / Three weapon forge levels with gems and Cinder Shards
At floor 10, melee weapons can be forged up to three times with gems. Plan the stat goal first, because the three forge levels cost escalating Cinder Shards.
Facts and route notes
Phase: Forge
Focus: Three weapon forge levels with gems and Cinder Shards
Checklist: Use Ruby for damage, Emerald for speed, Aquamarine for crit chance, Jade for crit power, Amethyst for knockback, or Topaz for defense. Budget 10, 15, and 20 Cinder Shards for the three normal forge levels. Use Diamond only when a random all-remaining-level upgrade is acceptable.
