The Blacksmith upgrades weapons and armor. Each upgrade permanently improves a hero’s effectiveness.
Why this matters
Blacksmith upgrades are the cheapest permanent power in the game. They let the same heroes clear harder content.
Step-by-step
- Send heroes on blacksmith upgrade requests.
- Prioritize weapons for your damage dealers.
- Upgrade armor for your front-line tanks.
- Balance upgrades across the whole roster.
- Focus one hero’s full upgrade tree at a time.
- Upgrade before attempting harder dungeons.
- Keep upgrading replacements as you recruit.
Tips
- Weapons first for damage dealers
- Armor for front-line survival
- Fully upgrading one hero beats spreading thin
- Upgrades are permanent — they compound
Common mistakes
- Spreading upgrades too thin
- Ignoring armor entirely
- Forgetting to upgrade new recruits
- Attempting hard content unupgraded
Practical notes
The Blacksmith upgrades armor and weapons for gold, so upgrade the gear your core heroes use most. Spread upgrades across the roster. Prioritize weapons for damage dealers first. A sharper hero clears faster. Upgrade weapons for damage dealers first, then armor for the front line. Spread upgrades so the whole roster improves.
Prioritize weapons for damage dealers first, because faster kills mean less incoming damage. Upgrade armor for the front line so your tank survives the longer fights. A sharper, tougher roster clears content that an unupgraded one cannot.
