💡 How to Use
Refine Blade is a foundational scaling tool for Sovereign Blade builds, allowing you to increase your weapon's power while setting up a high-energy follow-up turn. It is most effective when played early in combat to maximize the cumulative value of the Forge stacks on your primary damage source.
⚡ Synergies
Summon Forth
Summon Forth ensures that the Sovereign Blade is in your hand to benefit from the Forge stacks applied by Refine Blade. This combination minimizes the downtime spent waiting to draw your weapon after scaling its power.
Sword Sage
Sword Sage adds an additional hit to the Sovereign Blade, which effectively doubles the value of the Forge points provided by Refine Blade. The energy gain from Refine Blade is also crucial for paying the increased cost of the modified Sovereign Blade.
Fencing Manual
This relic provides a flat Forge bonus at the start of combat, which synergizes with Refine Blade to accelerate the Sovereign Blade's damage scaling. Together, they allow the player to reach lethal damage thresholds several turns earlier than usual.
Conqueror
By increasing the base damage of the Sovereign Blade through Forging, Refine Blade makes the double-damage effect of Conqueror significantly more lethal. The energy gain from Refine Blade helps facilitate the high-cost turn required to play multiple setup cards and the Blade itself.
