This page exists as a guide to newer players who don't know which reforge to put on their items.
Recommended Reforges (Without Reforge Stones)
| Recommended Reforges for: | Stat to increase | Reforge |
|---|---|---|
| Armor | ❤ Health and ❈ Defense | Titanic, Heavy1 |
| ✎ Intelligence | Wise | |
| ☣ Crit Chance and ❁ Damage | Fierce | |
| Equipment | ❤ Health and ❈ Defense | Colossal, Hefty1 |
| ❁ Damage | Menacing | |
| ✎ Intelligence | Brilliant | |
| ☣ Crit Chance | Stained2 | |
| Bows | ❁ Damage | Unreal |
| ☣ Crit Chance | Hasty, Deadly | |
| Swords | ❁ Damage | Spicy |
| ✎ Intelligence | Heroic | |
| ☣ Crit Chance | Sharp, Legendary3 | |
| Notes | ||
| 1 Heavy is better for ❤ Effective Health than Titanic, but debuffs some of your stats.. It is instead recommended to use Reinforced, which keeps Heavy's high ❈ Defense but without any debuffs, with an easy-to-get reforge stone even for ironman players (see below). Likewise for equipment, Hefty provides more ❤ Effective Health with its high ❈ Defense bonus, but its debuffs makes it typically worse than Colossal at an early-game stage.
2 At Common and Uncommon rarities, Stained gives the same ☣ Crit Chance as other reforges, such as Menacing, Soft, Honored, and Blended, all of which are better at low rarities. 3 Legendary produces higher ❁ Damage. However, Sharp gives more ☣ Crit Chance, which is often more valuable until you get access to reforge stones. | ||

- ↑ Giant is better, but Reinforced is almost free, so should be used for earlygame and ironman players.
- ↑ Loving produces less ✎ Intelligence than Necrotic. However, the 5% ๑ Ability Damage buff makes it a much better choice than Necrotic on chestplates.
- ↑ Ancient is the more recommended reforge. However, Renowned is better if the player's Catacombs level is extremely low, or if they wish for some additional ✯ Magic Find
- ↑ Precise is better than Spiritual for The Catacombs - Floor IV and its master mode equivalent only.
