Recommended Greatsword Leveling Build

The early-game plan: stack Strength on whatever Rare melee class you spun, follow the dungeon ladder, and bank resources for endgame targets.

GreatswordLevelingEditorial build — inputs reviewed, not proven optimalReviewed September 16, 2026

Recommended aspects

Stat priority

  1. Strength

    Melee archetype default — every point of damage speeds clears

  2. Vitality

    A few points while learning boss patterns is fine; reset later

Gear priority

  1. Whatever drops with your archetype's damage type — do not over-invest before endgame
  2. Upgrade only gear you are actually wearing (Gear Score counts worn items)
  3. Save Reforge Stones and ores for endgame pieces

How to play

  • Clear each zone fully before the boss — the light pillar points to loot chests
  • Always extract: dying or leaving early deletes everything you picked up
  • Pick the deeper/faster reward chest after boss kills when confident

Progression

  1. Bandit's Den → Goblin's Stronghold → Forgotten Ruins → The Catacombs (unlock higher difficulties as they open)
  2. Allocate all SP into Strength; reset when you settle your endgame archetype
  3. Redeem every active code for free potions, coins and forge materials
  4. Around level 55 unlock Challenge Dungeon; around 60–67 Boss Rush opens (community-reported levels)
  5. Pick your endgame target (Unrestricted quest, a lane class, or Dreadlord) and start banking its materials

Alternatives

Bowman leveling

Same plan with Dexterity if you spun a ranged starter instead.

Good for

  • Works with any early melee class you own
  • Resource-banked progression compounds into endgame targets

Weaknesses

  • Greatsword itself is D–C tier — this is a process build, not a class endorsement
