Voxlblade best builds
Voxlblade builds combine a race, a guild, a weapon line and gear layers. Community-verified setups are the Greatsword Mage, Dual Greatsword physical build and the Kitsune/Half-Ork True Magic build.

The three community builds
| Build | Race | Guild | Weapon | Weapon art | Key gear |

Build tiers: what each route asks of you
The bands below are this site's read of the recipes above plus the SP costs on the weapon tree — the community wikis publish no official build ranking. What separates them is the gate you have to clear, not the colour of the box.
| Tier (entry gate) | Build | Gate you must clear | Gear it wants |
|---|---|---|---|
| A — open to any character | Greatsword Mage | Mage / Scholar guild, one blade line | Magic Great Sword + Magesteel Handle, Corrupted / Berserking armour, 3× Mageling + Caster Ring infusion |
| A — open to any character | Dual Greatsword | Gladiator guild (negative reputation) | Scourger's Blade + Shadow Handle (both Tier 4), full Berserking armour, Rage Rune, 4-way infusion |
| B — race and guild gate | True Magic | Kitsune or Half-Ork and the Cursed guild (negative reputation) | Curved Magic + Bloodied Handle, 2× Corrupt Berserking, Vampiric True Moon Worshipper, 3× Gremlinancer infusion |
If you only want a working build this week, the two open routes need no race change; the True Magic route does, and the Shrine of Change is the only way back if you change your mind.
Pick your race first
| If you play… | Race | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Rune / skill rotation | Elf | Rune cooldown −40%, ults come back faster |
| Weapon art (WA) spam | High Elf | WA cooldown −25% |
| Attack speed / basic attacks | Kitsune | +0.1 speed lands straight on the part average, plus 10% move speed |
| Fresh start / solo | Arborian | Passive healing + 15 Protection, most forgiving |
| Armor break burst | Half-Ork | +10 armor penetration on all attacks, good on armored bosses |
| Crit on dodge | Bunikin | The hit after a dodge is always a crit |
Damage formula, in practice
Every build eventually runs through this formula (voxlpedia):
DMG = base × effective bonus × level bonus × damage bonus × damage reduction × output type × type-specific × crit × armor
Effective bonus comes from stacking scaling × boost (example: 1.1 Air × +50% + 0.5 Magic × +25% = +67.5%). So "swap to the weapon with the higher paper damage" is not automatically an upgrade — if the scalings do not match your boosts, the numbers are wasted.
Gear layers explained
- Forge: up to 5 upgrades at 500 / 1,500 / 2,000 / 3,000 / 4,000 V$ — 11,000 V$ to max a single item.
- Infusion: takes the affixes plus half the base stats, and cannot be taken back — do not feed it the wrong item.
- Crafting: higher crafting level raises the chance of rolling an affix; upgraded or already-affixed gear cannot be reforged.
- Modifiers: regular mobs can spawn as Magical / Corrupted variants and drop affixed gear. Spawn rate doubles in Deadlands and Icy Plateau and halves in Frontier Village.
