If you already have Wolf’s Gravestone or Serpent Spine, there’s absolutely no reason to pull for The Unforged. Still, The Unforged definitely isn’t a bad weapon. It’s a perfectly viable replacement for Wolf’s Gravestone thanks to its abundance of ATK. Any character that can use Wolf Gravestone can also use The Unforged. At Refinement Rank 1 (R1) Level 90, it has a Base ATK of 608 and a secondary stat of 49.6% ATK. And its passive is called “Golden Majesty”, which has the following effects:
Increases shield strength by 20%. Scoring hits on an opponent increases the wielder’s ATK by 4% for 8s. Maximum 5 stack. This can only occur once every 0.3s. While protected by a shield, this ATK buff is increased by 100%.
These passives are pretty great, but they only work on-field. This means that the wielder only gains increased shield strength and ATK buff stacks when they’re on-field — so The Unforged is generally less favorable for off-field claymore users. Plus, the shield passive for increased ATK buffs can be harder to maintain. Not every team uses a shielder, and not every shield has enough uptime to maintain its passive. Because of this, The Unforged is mainly considered an ATK stat stick. Its passive is situational, and only a few characters can fully benefit from it. Additionally, here’s a more detailed list of its synergy with every currently playable claymore user.
Great means that The Unforged is one of the character’s best-in-slot weapons. Good means that The Unforged works on the character, but it’s often outperformed by other better claymores – usually craftable, BP, or 4-star gacha weapons. Not recommended means that the character would much prefer other more accessible claymores — or they simply don’t benefit from ATK.
