Iron Soul Dungeon Heavy Weapon Build Guide

A Heavy weapon build trades speed and cheap rerolls for high base damage and wide attacks. Reserve more ore, prioritize health and useful critical or damage substats, and learn enemy openings before committing to slow swings. Community skill recommendations favor Vortex or Blade Slam with Meteor Jump or Charged Dash, but those skill names and rankings are not official.

What the sources verify

The community forging table lists Heavy weapons at 16 ore for 100%, compared with Light weapons at 3 ore for 100%. A Season 3 heavy-weapon guide describes six basic moves, three ultimates, high base damage, and strong area coverage. The same guide warns that Heavy crafting consumes much more ore, making weak rolls more expensive to replace.

How to use this information

Build three to four craft attempts worth of ore before chasing a Heavy roll so one failure does not halt progression. Prioritize enough health to survive animation commitment, then compare critical rate, critical damage, attack, and other useful rolls. A Light weapon remains a sensible secondary option for learning or material recovery because it is cheaper to reroll.

Version notes and pending confirmation

The skill list Spin, Strike, Hammer Smash, Vortex, Discharge Slash, and Blade Slam comes from one third-party guide. Its ultimate ranking of Meteor Jump and Charged Dash over Swings is editorial and may not match later balance. Claims about SVIP armor, Yokozuna, Glory, or exact Heavy substat behavior remain Pending confirmation.
