Upgrading a hero's Weapon will improve their Damage, Crit and Speed. The upgrading is done in the Blacksmith.

Upgrade requirements:

  • Sufficient gold (sell trinkets with shift + click to get extra gold)
  • The hero you want to upgrade needs to be at least Level 1. Higher Levels allow for higher upgrades.
  • Weaponsmithing in the upgrade tab of the blacksmith needs to be at least Level 1. Higher Levels allow for higher upgrades.
  • The base cost of each upgrade rank of the weapon in ascending order is 750, 1750, 3000 and 6000.

Each Furnace upgrade in the Blacksmith will reduce the cost of upgrading by 10% up to a cap of 50%.
