Loot To Forge Tier List Overview
This Loot To Forge tier list ranks every major progression choice in +1 Loot To Forge — skills, equipment, upgrades, and farming systems — from S down to C. Rankings weigh practical value, acquisition effort, growth potential, and farming efficiency, so you always know where your rare ores and coins belong.
Video Highlights:
- Skill index moves are graded from SS down to C — Absolute Cleave and Golden Collapse are the top picks
- Endless Gale, Wave Break Slash, and Blazing Pierce are the strongest fallback skills
- Rebirthing grants permanent damage and money multipliers and should be done as soon as available
- The tower gives enchant runes, but only attempt it with enough damage to survive
- Only collect genuinely rare ores and skip common drops to save bag space
| Tier | Meaning | When to Prioritize |
|---|---|---|
| SS | Best-in-slot, game-changing | Spend rare materials immediately when available |
| S | Strong upgrades with lasting value | Core of any mid-to-late build |
| A | Reliable, efficient options | Solid picks when S-tier is out of reach |
| B | Early-game and transitional | Use to reach the next farming area, then replace |
| C | Situational or inefficient | Temporary fixes only — avoid investing |
Tiers describe priority, not prestige. A B-tier item you can forge right now often beats an S-tier item you cannot afford yet. Always compare material cost against your current farming route before committing.
Skill Index Rankings
The skill index grades every move in the game. Your goal is to lock in an SS-tier skill early, because a strong skill multiplies the value of every weapon you forge afterward.
| Rank | Skill | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SS | Absolute Cleave | Top damage pick, stays useful across stages |
| SS | Golden Collapse | Elite clear speed, best for dense enemy waves |
| S | Endless Gale | Strong A-tier-plus fallback with wide coverage |
| S | Wave Break Slash | Reliable multi-target damage |
| A | Blazing Pierce | Good single-target pressure, easy to obtain |
| B–C | Common starter moves | Fine early, replace as soon as an A or better rolls |
Many players ignore the skill index entirely. Check it regularly — rerolling toward Absolute Cleave or Golden Collapse is one of the highest-return actions in the game.
Weapons, Armor & Upgrade Tier List
Gear tiers follow a simple rule: the rarer the ore, the stronger the forge. Weapons come first for damage, but armor tiers climb in importance as enemies begin to one-tap under-defended players in advanced areas.
| Category | Tier | Examples | Priority Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weapons | S | Rare-ore swords from later stages | Forged with the rarest ore you can reach |
| Armor | S | Forged armor sets | Equip from backpack; boosts defense significantly |
| Enchants | S | Weapon and armor runes from the tower | Two runes per weapon — use both slots |
| Upgrades | A | Luck boost, max ore count | Fastest coin-to-progress conversion |
| Upgrades | B | Training boost | Helpful, but behind luck and ore capacity |
| Selling old gear | A | Coins from outdated swords | Funds upgrades between forge cycles |
Weapon-First Forging
- Highest damage return per rare ore
- Speeds up every farming run
- Replace before upgrading convenience stats
Armor Second
- Prevents one-taps in later stages
- Equip and enchant from your backpack
- Scales with tower runes
Upgrades Third
- Luck boost and max ore count first
- Then training boost
- Fund with sold swords and ore
Enchanting weapons and armor is repeatedly skipped by new players. Enchant runes from the tower stack real power — always fill both rune slots on your best gear before moving on.
Step-by-Step: Applying the Tier List
Push to the Furthest Stage
Progress before you collect. Skip ore pickups on early stages and gather only at the furthest stage you can safely reach, where the rarest ores spawn.
Forge the S-Tier Weapon
Convert rare ore into the strongest available sword. Sell outdated swords for coins instead of hoarding them.
Buy A-Tier Upgrades
Spend coins on luck boost and max ore count first, then training boost. These accelerate every future run.
Enchant and Forge Armor
Run the tower for enchant runes once your damage is stable, then enchant both weapon and armor.
Rebirth and Repeat
Rebirth as soon as the option appears for permanent damage and money multipliers, then climb stages again with your stronger baseline.
Do not enter the tower right after a rebirth. Build damage first, or you will die instantly and waste a tower ticket. Rebirthing is how you earn tickets — spend them when clears are consistent.
Underrated Systems Worth Real Coins
| System | Value | Why It Is Skipped |
|---|---|---|
| Index rewards | Power boosts per new weapon and armor claimed | Hidden behind the index menu |
| Time report | Free periodic rewards | Players forget to claim |
| Friend boost | Power boost when playing with friends | Solo players miss it |
| Rebirth | Permanent damage and money multipliers | Feels like losing progress |
Claim everything in the index — every newly registered weapon and armor grants a power boost. It is one of the most underrated progression systems in the game.
Tier List Action Checklist:
- Claim all index rewards for power boosts
- Collect the time report every session
- Reroll skills toward Absolute Cleave or Golden Collapse
- Fill both enchant rune slots on best gear
- Rebirth as soon as it becomes available
FAQ
Q: What is the best skill in the Loot To Forge tier list?
Absolute Cleave and Golden Collapse sit at SS in the skill index. If you cannot get those, Endless Gale, Wave Break Slash, and Blazing Pierce are the strongest alternatives.
Q: Which upgrades should I buy first?
Luck boost and max ore count give the fastest returns on coins, followed by training boost. Fund them by selling old swords and surplus ore.
Q: Should I pick up every ore I see?
No. Only pick up genuinely rare ores. Progress to the furthest stage you can safely farm and gather there, where the best ores spawn, instead of filling bag space with common drops.
Q: How does armor rank in the Loot To Forge tier list?
Armor ranks alongside weapons at S-tier in the mid game. In later stages, enemies can one-tap players without forged, enchanted armor, so forge it via the armor option and equip it from your backpack.
