Accessories in Broken Blade are equippable armor pieces that raise stats like Damage, Health, Critical Damage, Critical Chance, and weapon-specific damage once worn. Nearly all of them come from bosses scattered across the game, and several only drop at meaningful rates when you take a boss on as a Raid Boss in higher difficulties. There are 10 or more accessories to collect, and your avatar also gains new armor visuals when one is equipped.
All Broken Blade accessories, drop sources, and buffs
Each accessory is tied to a single boss. Normal Boss kills give the lowest odds, while running the same encounter as a Raid Boss on Hard and Nightmare difficulty sharply increases the drop chance. The full breakdown is below.
| Accessory | Boss and drop chance | Stat buffs |
|---|---|---|
| Wraithbound | Moraros Boss 4% Normal Boss 8% Raid (Hard) 15% Raid (Nightmare) | +10% Damage +20% Health |
| Hellflare Guard | Magador Boss 0.04% Normal Boss 0.48% Raid (Hard) 0.64% Raid (Nightmare) | +26% Damage +50% Health +40% Critical Damage |
| Crimson Curse | Ragaros Boss 0.03% Normal Boss 0.48% Raid (Hard) 0.64% Raid (Nightmare) | +27% Damage +80% Health +5% Sword Damage |
| Solar Halo | Velik Boss 0.03% Normal Boss 0.48% Raid (Hard) 0.64% Raid (Nightmare) | +28% Damage +100% Health +5% Katana Damage |
| Icebound | Nivaron Boss 0.02% Normal Boss 0.48% Raid (Hard) 0.64% Raid (Nightmare) | +29% Damage +20% Health +5% Buster Damage |
| Shadow Oath | Gelaros Boss 0.01% Normal Boss 0.48% Raid (Hard) 0.64% Raid (Nightmare) | +30% Damage +10% Critical Chance +40% Health |
| Fury | Veyrath Boss 0.48% Raid (Hard) 0.64% Raid (Nightmare) | +50% Damage +60% Health +80% Critical Damage |
| Berserker | Guts Boss (Eclipse) 0.10% Normal Boss 0.22% Raid Hard (Struggler) 1.20% Raid Nightmare (Mad Dog) | +60% Damage +100% Health +10% Buster Damage |
| Artoria | Artoria Boss (Sky Spire) Unknown drop chance | +65% Damage +150% Health +15% Sword Damage |
| Pendragon | Arthur Boss (Sky Spire) Unknown drop chance | +70% Damage +320% Health +25% Sword Damage |
Two patterns stand out. The mid-tier accessories share nearly identical Raid Boss odds (0.48% on Hard, 0.64% on Nightmare), so difficulty matters far more than which boss you pick. The two Sky Spire drops, Artoria and Pendragon, carry the highest stat totals but have no published drop rate yet.
How to farm accessories faster with Raid Bosses
If you are chasing anything other than Wraithbound, run the encounter as a Raid Boss rather than killing the Normal Boss. The jump is large. Hellflare Guard, for example, climbs from 0.04% on a Normal Boss kill to 0.48% on Hard Raid and 0.64% on Nightmare Raid, which is roughly a 10x to 16x improvement.
Berserker is the clearest case for Nightmare farming. Its Mad Dog (Nightmare) rate of 1.20% is the best non-Wraithbound chance in the game, so taking the Guts boss to Nightmare is the efficient route to that piece.
Best accessory in Broken Blade by build
Pendragon is the top overall pick because it leads in Damage, Health, and Sword Damage at the same time. For specialized builds, a few other accessories edge ahead in their niche.
| Build focus | Best accessory | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | Pendragon | Highest Damage, Health, and Sword Damage |
| Pure Damage | Pendragon | +70% Damage is the largest single buff |
| Sword builds | Pendragon | +25% Sword Damage tops the category |
| Defense / survivability | Pendragon | +320% Health is by far the highest |
| Crit builds | Fury | +80% Critical Damage |
| Buster builds | Berserker | +10% Buster Damage, the highest available |
How to confirm an accessory is equipped
An accessory only applies its buffs once equipped, not when it simply sits in your inventory. After a successful drop, the item appears in your inventory and your avatar visually gains the matching armor when worn. Check your stat panel after equipping to confirm the Damage, Health, or weapon-specific bonuses listed above have been added.
If a boss kill does not award the accessory, the most common reason is the drop chance itself. The mid-tier pieces sit well under 1% even on Nightmare Raids, so repeated runs are expected before one drops. Switching from Normal Boss to a higher-difficulty Raid Boss is the single biggest factor in cutting that grind down.
As the Excalibur content settles and new bosses arrive, the accessory roster is likely to keep expanding, so revisit your loadout whenever a stronger piece becomes reachable for your build.
