Power in Broken Blade comes from stacking the right race, element, and blessing on top of your weapon style. Each one multiplies your damage, so a strong combination clears mobs and bosses several times faster than a weak roll. The rankings below cover what is worth keeping and what you should reroll once you unlock the systems.
Broken Blade race tier list
Races act as your character class and grant passive bonuses. You obtain new ones through the reroll system, and the best of them stack a huge flat damage boost with crit and weapon-specific scaling. Aesir (also written as Asura in some listings) sits alone at the top because it raises nearly every offensive stat at once.
| 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 | Frost | Epic | +50% Damage, +20% Damage Reduction |
| B | Flame | Epic | +50% Damage, +50% Health |
| C | Giant | Rare | +10% Damage Reduction, +5% Life Steal |
| C | Dwarves | Uncommon | +30% Health |
| D | Human | Common | +10% Health |
Aesir is extremely rare, with a drop rate near 0.03%. The legendary trio is the realistic target for most players, and the choice depends on your weapon. Elf scales Sword damage, Vanir scales Katana damage, and Nether scales Buster damage. Match the race to the weapon style you actually use.
Broken Blade element tier list
Elements work like races and add another rerollable damage layer. Thunder is the standout because its crit damage bonus multiplies everything a crit build already produces. Fire is the best raw-damage option while you wait for a Thunder roll.
| Tier | Element | Rarity | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Thunder | Mythical | +50% Crit Damage |
| A | Fire | Legendary | +50% Damage |
| A | Wind | Epic | +15% Attack Speed |
| B | Life | Rare | +3% Life Steal |
| B | Water | Uncommon | +1.0 Energy Recovery per second |
| C | Earth | Common | +10% Damage Reduction |
Wind earns its place on speed-heavy or slower weapons since faster swings mean more crits over time. Life and Water are sustain and utility picks for underleveled gear. Earth is a defensive filler you should replace once you can roll for something offensive.
Broken Blade blessing tier list
Blessings are the third build layer and carry the largest single damage numbers in the game. Odin leads with a +200% Damage bonus plus crit and attack speed, while Jormungandr is close behind with strong all-around stats and added survivability. All mythical blessings share an extremely low drop rate around 0.0085%.
| Tier | Blessing | Rarity | Key bonuses |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS | Odin | Mythical | +200% Damage, +75% Crit Damage, +25% Buster Damage, +12% Attack Speed |
| SS | Jormungandr | Mythical | +175% Damage, +70% Crit Damage, +12% Attack Speed, +10% Damage Reduction |
| S | Hel | Mythical | +125% Damage, +75% Crit Damage, +25% Buster Damage, +60% Heal |
| S | Surtr | Mythical | +100% Damage, +25% Buster Damage, +12% Attack Speed |
| S | Fenrir | Mythical | +15% Damage, +8% Crit Chance, +25% Buster Damage, +8% Life Steal |
| S | Thor | Legendary | +70% Damage, +20% Buster Damage, +50% Crit Damage |
| A | Loki | Legendary | +65% Damage, +8% Attack Speed |
| A | Heimdall | Legendary | +55% Damage, +7% Crit Chance, +20% Crit Damage |
| A | Tyr | Legendary | +60% Damage, +6% Life Steal, +8% Crit Damage |
| A | Freyja | Legendary | +50% Damage, +8% Damage Reduction, +20% Health |
| B | Njord, Freyr, Frigg, Baldr, Vidar | Epic / Rare | +25% to +40% Damage with minor utility |
| C | Eir, Vali, Valkyrie, Einherjar | Rare / Uncommon | +15% to +23% Damage |
| D | Light, Dark | Common | +5% to +7% Damage |
Odin and Jormungandr are the dream rolls, but Hel, Surtr, Fenrir, and Thor are strong fallbacks when the top two refuse to drop. Keep any legendary blessing rather than running a common one.
Best weapon style and weapons
There are three weapon styles, and they shape which race you want. Sword covers a wide area and manages energy well, making it the easiest option for clearing mobs and leveling. Katana hits hardest against single targets and shines in boss fights. Buster is balanced but currently lags behind the other two in most content.
| Style | Strength | Best paired race |
|---|---|---|
| Sword | Crowd control, general farming | Elf |
| Katana | High single-target boss damage | Vanir |
| Buster | Balanced, weaker right now | Nether |
For forged weapons, the Celestial Greatsword is the top all-rounder thanks to high base attack, smooth swing speed, and a magic bolt on full-charge swings. The Voidfang Blade trades raw power for the fastest combos and built-in lifesteal on crits. The Stormcaller Bow is the best ranged option for safe crowd control, while the Frostbite Katana adds a freeze effect that makes enemies take more damage.
How to reroll races, elements, and blessings
You cannot reroll anything from the start. The systems unlock at fixed levels and use items farmed from specific bosses.
Step 1: Reach level 500 to unlock race and element rerolls. Farm the Nivaron boss for Race Reroll items and the Velik boss for Element Rerolls.
Step 2: Reach level 1,000 to unlock blessing rerolls. Farm the Gelaros boss to collect blessing reroll items.
Step 3: Spend rerolls in batches rather than all at once. Drop rates favor commons heavily, so farm a stock of items first, then roll until you land an S-tier option.
Recommended builds by stage
Your ideal setup shifts as you level. Early on, survivability and steady leveling matter more than chasing mythicals you cannot yet roll.
| Stage | Style | Element | Race | Blessing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early (1–500) | Sword | Fire or Life | Elf or Flame if lucky | None yet |
| Mid (500–2,000+) | Katana or Sword | Fire or Wind | Vanir or Elf | Early legendary |
| Late / Endgame | Sword for versatility | Thunder | Aesir | Odin or Fenrir |
In the endgame, stack crit damage and raw damage together and use the Dragon Slayer reforging path from the Eclipse update. Learn the parry timing on the F key to survive tougher bosses while you push Boss Rush for materials and more reroll items. These rankings reflect the current meta and can shift after balance updates, so check your own numbers in-game when a new patch lands.
