Our take on Vulcan's Forge
“Forged by the god of fire”
+12% Blessing damage is more than Jupiter Tonans gives, at a third of the Ember cost, which makes it the best value for a Blessing build until you can afford the Mythic. Armor pierce helps against armored late-wave enemies and bosses. Without a decent Blessing, though, half of this set does nothing.
What does the Vulcan's Forge set bonus do?
+12% Blessing damage
More damage from your Blessing. It stacks with the Numen skill path, whose first node Inner Fire adds +3% Blessing damage per rank from level 15.
+8% Armor pierce
Ignores part of an enemy’s armor. Armored enemies and bosses take more damage, which helps against tanky late waves.
+23 Vitality and +115 Max HP
On our level-1 Gladiator with 124 Max HP, the set’s +115 Max HP alone would be a 93% increase. Every set adds flat health that scales with rarity. Legendary sets give +23 Vitality / +115 Max HP, against +19 / +95 for Epic and +28 / +140 for Mythic.
How do you get the Vulcan's Forge pieces?
| Slot | Piece | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | Forge Crown Helm | 20 Forge Embers |
| Chest | Anvil Cuirass | 30 Forge Embers |
| Hands | Smith's Gauntlets | 20 Forge Embers |
| Legs | Forge Greaves | 30 Forge Embers |
The full set costs 100 Forge Embers. The panel says “Embers come from Survival round 21 on”, and the Forge caps Embers at 40 a day, so even with perfect runs the set takes at least 3 days. Forge the pieces in the order that fits your build; the bonus only turns on with all four.
Legendary gear can also come from chests. These are the chests that can roll Legendary items:
| Chest | Legendary chance | Armor / weapon split | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epic Chest | 25% | Armor 60% · Weapon 40% | 3,200 Cash or 99 Robux |
| Legendary chest | 85% | — | not sold (from codes and rewards) |
A chest that rolls Legendary still picks one item from every Legendary armor and weapon, so a specific piece of Vulcan's Forge is much rarer than the Legendary chance.
Who should use Vulcan's Forge?
- Blessing builds (Numen path): +12% Blessing damage.
- Trials, Weekly Raid and boss rounds: +8% Armor pierce.
- Long Survival runs: +8% Armor pierce.
How to build around Vulcan's Forge
Blessing builds (Numen path). Blessing builds start at the Crystal of Fortuna: two slots are free, and Lucky spins give a 12% Legendary chance. From level 15, the Numen path adds Blessing damage (Inner Fire, +3% per rank) and its capstone Will Of The Gods turns every Blessing hit into cooldown.
Trials, Weekly Raid and boss rounds. Boss bonuses matter in the four Trials (from level 10), the Weekly Raid and boss rounds such as Cerberus at round 20. The Gladius capstone Executioner (+20% damage to foes below 30% health) speeds up the end of every boss fight.
Long Survival runs. For long Survival runs, pick boons that match the set, never leave early (the result bonus drops to x0.50), and push past round 21, where Forge Embers start dropping for your next Legendary or Mythic set.
