Best overall
Odin is the easiest endgame recommendation because it stacks damage, crit chance, and crit damage without forcing one weapon type.

Broken Blade blessing tier list
Mythical blessings dominate endgame theorycraft. Epic and Legendary blessings still matter because they are more realistic stopping points.
| Tier | Blessing | Rarity | Effect | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Odin | Mythical | +25% Damage, +1% Crit Chance, +10% Crit Damage | Best universal endgame damage concept. |
| S | Surtr | Mythical | +50% Buster Damage | Top Buster and Dragon Slayer direction. |
| S | Jormungandr | Mythical | +100% Element Damage | Strongest when element scaling is confirmed and built around. |
| S | Hel | Mythical | +25% Buster Damage, +25% Damage Reduction | Bossing and heavy-weapon safety. |
| S | Fenrir | Mythical | +25% Buster Damage, +25% Life Steal | Buster sustain and long fights. |
| A | Thor | Legendary | +20% Buster Damage | Practical Buster damage before Mythical blessings. |
| A | Heimdall | Legendary | +50% Crit Damage | Pairs with Thunder and Aesir. |
| A | Baldr | Legendary | +25% Damage, +50% Crit Damage | High-value crit and damage blend. |
| A | Freyr | Legendary | +5% Attack Speed, +50% Crit Damage | Speed plus crit for fast builds. |
| A | Freyja | Legendary | +25% Damage, +5% Life Steal | Balanced damage and sustain. |
| B | Loki | Epic | +10% Attack Speed | Good for Katana and farming tempo. |
| B | Frigg | Epic | +25% Katana Damage | Useful if your weapon plan is Katana. |
| B | Tyr | Epic | +25% Sword Damage | Useful if your weapon plan is Sword. |
| B | Vidar | Epic | +20% Damage Reduction | Defensive boss learning option. |
| C | Eir | Epic | +10% Life Steal | Sustain option when damage is already enough. |
| C | Njord | Epic | +5% Energy Recovery/sec | Utility option for energy comfort. |
| C | Valkyrie / Einherjar / Vali | Uncommon / Rare | Early-game utility bonuses | Temporary value before better blessings. |
| D | Dark / Light | Common | Starter blessing tier | Replace when a stronger blessing becomes available. |
Best blessing by build
Pick the blessing that matches your race and weapon instead of judging by rarity alone.
| Build | Blessings | Race | Weapon | Element |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buster bossing | Surtr, Hel, Fenrir, Thor | Nether or Aesir | Buster / Dragon Slayer | Thunder or Fire |
| Crit DPS | Odin, Heimdall, Baldr, Freyr | Aesir | Any high damage weapon | Thunder |
| Katana farming | Loki, Frigg, Freyr | Vanir | Katana / Moon Cut direction | Wind or Fire |
| Sword progression | Tyr, Heimdall, Freyja | Elf | Sword / Nameless Blade line | Fire or Thunder |
| Safe midgame | Vidar, Eir, Freyja | Frost, Flame, or Giant | Any | Earth, Life, or Fire |
Best Buster
Surtr, Hel, and Fenrir are the main chase blessings for Nether, Buster, and Dragon Slayer planning.
Best practical stop
Freyja, Baldr, Heimdall, and Thor are strong non-Mythical goals depending on build type.
Which Broken Blade blessing should you keep?
Start with your weapon and farming goal, then choose the blessing that supports that route.
| Your build | Best blessing targets | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| I use Buster or Dragon Slayer | Surtr, Hel, Fenrir, Thor | Buster builds care about Buster Damage, sustain, and damage reduction because long boss fights punish weak survival. |
| I use Katana for farming | Loki, Frigg, Freyr | Attack speed and Katana Damage make repeated farming smoother, especially when paired with Vanir or Wind. |
| I use Sword progression | Tyr, Heimdall, Freyja | Sword routes want direct weapon damage, crit help, or a safer damage and sustain mix. |
| I already have Aesir or Thunder | Odin, Heimdall, Baldr, Freyr | Crit and universal damage blessings are much stronger when race or element already supports crit scaling. |
| I am still learning bosses | Vidar, Eir, Freyja | Damage reduction and life steal can be better than pure damage if they turn failed runs into repeatable clears. |
Match blessing to weapon type
The biggest mistake on a Broken Blade blessings page is ranking every blessing as if every player uses the same weapon. Buster builds want Surtr, Hel, Fenrir, or Thor because those blessings directly support heavy weapon damage and boss routes. Katana builds care more about speed and fast-hit value, so Loki, Frigg, and Freyr become practical. Sword progression can use Tyr, Heimdall, or Freyja depending on whether the player needs direct damage, crit, or sustain.
Universal damage is rare
Odin ranks high because universal damage and crit scaling fit many routes. That does not mean every player should spend every reroll chasing Odin immediately. If you already have a blessing that matches your weapon and lets you farm bosses consistently, keeping it can be smarter than gambling for a small chance at the perfect Mythical result.
Safe clears beat failed clears
Vidar, Eir, Freyja, Hel, and Fenrir matter because survival changes how often you can repeat a boss route. A pure damage blessing is only better if you can stay alive and finish the fight. For many midgame players, a blessing that adds life steal or damage reduction creates more total progress than a risky damage-only setup.
Blessing reroll timing
Use this progression table before spending rare blessing resources.
| Stage | What to do | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Early game | Do not chase perfect blessings | Use whatever helps survival or damage while you unlock weapons, codes, altars, and basic farming. |
| Midgame | Keep useful Epic or Legendary blessings | A practical blessing that matches your weapon is usually better than burning resources for a Mythical roll. |
| Level 1000+ route | Start serious blessing planning | Once boss farming is repeatable, blessing rerolls become more valuable because each roll can improve a stable route. |
| Endgame | Chase Mythical synergy | Odin, Surtr, Jormungandr, Hel, and Fenrir become chase targets when you know your weapon and element plan. |
Needs verification
Blessing names and effects are useful for build planning, but this page still needs clean in-game blessing UI screenshots, roll rates, unlock method screenshots, and patch checks after balance updates.

How to read blessing value
Read Broken Blade blessings through the route you are actually farming. A blessing that helps your current weapon clear bosses is more valuable than a rarer blessing that does not match your race, element, or weapon type.
