In +1 Forge Blade Loot (developed by 6B Games Factory on Roblox) and its closely related predecessor +1 Loot to Forge, you unlock combat skills primarily by forging weapons at the anvil and by rolling for secondary skill slots. Primary active skills are not purchased from a standalone teacher or skill shop; they generate directly on your crafted blades, katanas, and greatswords based on their rarity tier and forge results.
Once acquired, weapon abilities bind to dedicated hotkeys—most commonly Q for the primary weapon attack and E or R for secondary abilities. Rolling high-grade skills significantly boosts clear speed across dungeon floors, allowing you to bypass strict raw power requirements through burst damage.
How Weapon Skills Are Unlocked Through Forging
The primary way to unlock weapon skills is to gather ore drops in dungeon stages and craft weapons at the forge. Every weapon you create rolls with innate combat properties, and higher-rarity blades consistently feature dedicated active skills.
- Primary Weapon Skills: When you forge swords like katanas or greatswords, the weapon comes equipped with its own active move bound to your Q key. These attacks range from forward dashes and slashes to ice strikes and rapid multi-hit combos.
- Ore Quality and Multipliers: Putting higher-rarity ores (such as Obsidian, Emerald, Void Core, Glitch, or Apex) into the forge raises your luck multiplier, improving weapon tier and giving access to higher-damage skill variations.
- Weapon Reforging: Because skill assignment has random elements, forging duplicate weapon tiers or reforging blades using high-end ores gives you additional chances to hit superior skill rolls with stronger damage scaling.
Players cannot purchase basic weapon moves directly from the Skill Index menu. In-game testing confirms the Skill Index acts as a catalog to display unlocked move types and their performance tiers rather than a storefront.
Unlocking Second Skills and Extra Skill Slots
Beyond the innate move attached to your crafted sword, you can unlock an extra skill slot to hold a second active ability. This grants an additional hotkey (bound to E or R depending on your client layout) for dungeon combat.
Players unlock this capability through the Extra Skill prompt on the interface:
- Open the character or upgrade interface where the Extra Skill roll option appears.
- Spend the required currency or slot purchase fee to unlock the additional skill slot.
- The system rolls a skill tier, awarding letter grades ranging from C tier up to SS tier.
- Once unlocked, the second skill remains permanent on your loadout, enabling two active abilities during monster encounters and boss battles.
In addition to standard in-game slot rolls, certain limited shop bundles (such as high-end Robux weapon sets like the Shadow Sovereign Eternal Legacy or Void Dominator packages) provide built-in exclusive skills alongside their base stats.
Skill Tiers and Confirmed Move Types
The Skill Index ranks weapon abilities using a letter-tier hierarchy. Higher tiers carry larger percentage damage multipliers and substantially elevate your weapon's calculated power.
| Skill Tier | Confirmed Moves & Examples | Observed Effects & Scaling |
|---|---|---|
| SS Tier | Absolute Cleave, Golden Collapse | Top-tier damage scaling; adding an SS skill can push weapon power from ~708M to ~839M base power. |
| S Tier | Endless gale, wave break slash, blazing pierce | High-tier burst attacks; deals heavy area-of-effect or penetrating slash damage with substantial multiplier buffs. |
| A / B Tier | Claw slashes, focused piercing thrusts | Reliable mid-tier offensive abilities with moderate damage scaling. |
| C Tier | Standard lunges, basic utility dashes | Entry-level abilities with lower damage output and standard cooldowns. |
Individual skills also provide distinct damage multipliers. Documented sword abilities feature offensive multipliers such as 200%, 350%, and up to 400% skill damage, often on cooldown cycles around 9 seconds.
How Skills Impact Boss Battles and Stage Progression
Active skills bypass the normal limitations of auto-clicking because their hit damage scales off high percentage multipliers rather than basic click swings alone. In higher stages (such as stage 12, stage 18, and stage 24), enemy and boss health pools scale into the trillions and quintillions.
Using your Q and R/E abilities while circling enemies prevents monsters from landing melee hits while allowing your skill hitboxes to connect safely. Furthermore, rolling an SS-grade skill on endgame weapons—such as the Infernal Overlord Greatsword—dramatically increases the weapon's total combat rating, compounding with enhancements and runes acquired from the Frostbound Tower.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy weapon skills without forging a sword?
No. Standard active weapon skills are tied directly to forged swords, katanas, and greatswords. You must forge a weapon to receive its primary combat skill.
Which hotkeys activate skills in Forge Blade Loot?
Primary weapon skills trigger with the Q key. Secondary unlocked skills typically bind to the E or R key, allowing you to alternate between dashes, slashes, and burst attacks.
What are the best skills in the Skill Index?
The highest-ranking moves in the Skill Index are SS-tier abilities, including Absolute Cleave and Golden Collapse, followed by S-tier moves like endless gale, wave break slash, and blazing pierce.
Does getting an extra skill increase weapon power permanently?
Yes. Unlocking an extra skill slot adds a secondary attack to your rotation, and rolling high tiers like S or SS directly increases your weapon's overall power calculations.
