Why Conqueror's Blade Dominates the Meta
Conqueror's Blade is widely considered the strongest weapon in Elemental Dungeons. It sits in SS-tier alongside Awakened Lightning, Reaper, and Galaxy in Nightmare endgame rankings—not as an element, but as a weapon that elevates nearly every element you equip.
Players with Conqueror's Blade unlock roughly 80% more viable element options at Nightmare difficulty. The blade doubles effective DPS overnight and works like a corrupted element without consuming your Mythic element slot.
How to Obtain Conqueror's Blade
Craft Conqueror's Blade through the Handy Gorilla NPC using gold and rare materials. Community reports cite approximately 100,000 gold plus orb and shard components—verify current recipes in-game after each patch since crafting costs shift with balance updates.
Farm gold through Infinite mode, selling duplicate Rare dungeon drops, and completing daily quests. Budget weeks of material farming before attempting craft if you are midgame.
- Craft at Handy Gorilla NPC in the lobby hub
- Approximately 100,000 gold plus rare orb materials
- Tradeable since Update 4 at palace tables (same category rules)
- Pairs with Elemental Blade for 1.15x advantage damage stacking
- Synergizes with Awakened Lightning, Angel, and sword-scaling elements
Conqueror's Blade Synergy Builds
Angel awakened builds scale directly with sword damage—Conqueror's Blade amplifies both healing throughput and hybrid DPS. Awakened Lightning with Conqueror's Blade reaches SS+ tier, the highest practical damage ceiling in current Nightmare content.
Nightmare element crowd control creates windows for Conqueror's Blade users to stack burst during CC phases. Galaxy Black Hole setups also pair well for grouped mob farming.
Without Conqueror's Blade, your element pool shrinks significantly at endgame. Tier lists assume blade ownership when ranking Nightmare viability.
| Build | Tier with Blade | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Awakened Lightning + Blade | SS+ | Highest sustained raid DPS |
| Angel Awakened + Blade | SS | Hybrid heal/DPS raid support |
| Nightmare + Blade | SS | CC windows for burst stacking |
| Phantom + Blade | S+ | Mobility plus blade hybrid |
| Base Epic elements | B→S jump | Blade elevates mid-tier elements |
Reforging and Upgrades
After crafting, visit the Blacksmith to reforge stat lines on your Conqueror's Blade. Legendary-tier reforges drain millions of gold per attempt—farm Infinite mode for sustainable income before chasing perfect stats.
Fusion Blades from the Handy Gorilla compete for endgame attention but Conqueror's Blade remains the meta default for Nightmare raiders who prioritize raw output over hybrid fusion kits.
