The reforging feature, which modifies a gear's bonus stats, was introduced by MementoMori. Find out how to use this function, if you should reforge your gear, and how to unlock it.

Reforging Gear Guide

What is Reforging Gear?

After completing Main Quest 9-15, you will unlock the ability to Reforge your gear. This gives your gear a tertiary stat boost that will raise your character's STR, DEX, MAG, or STA depending on how you configure it.

How to Reforge Gear?

When you reforge gear with Gold, you will get a random allocation of stats between STR, DEX, MAG, and STA.

The total number of bonus points will not change; only their distribution will. So, the principle is rather simple: Reforge your gear to get a bigger stat boost for your character's main stat (STR for Warrior witches, DEX for Sniper witches, and MAG for Sorcerer witches) and STA. The Main Stat increases a witch's ATK, which will translate to higher damage.

Lock Value Using Diamonds

Next to the stats themselves are boxes you can tick to lock the reforged stat in place. For example, if you got the reforge bar full for STA, you can lock that and continue reforging and distributing the remaining stats into your character's DEX. This time, however, reforging with a locked stat costs Diamonds instead of gold.

The lock function will be unlocked when you reach VIP3. Diamond purchases are required to advance your VIP status.

What Stats Should I Aim for When Reforging My Gear?

Aim for Your Character’s Main Stat, Followed by STA

While we advocate avoiding reforging early in the game because it resets whenever you equip a different piece of gear and does not carry over, reforging is useful when you know that you will be sticking with a specific piece of gear for a good amount of time and want to increase its stats. This most likely will be gear you get from level 180+.

Again, do not reforge generic gear because stats from reforging are not brought over when you switch old gear to new gear. But once you've gotten your first named gear sets, it's time to reforge for stats.

Tap "Reforge" until you get one of the bars full with reforge stats. Once you've gotten that down, lock one or two stats with the tick boxes to transfer the reforge stats to the stat you want (for example, if the reforge stats are in MAG and your character's main stat is DEX, lock the STR and STA boxes to transfer between MAG and DEX).

However, remember that reforging with one or two boxes ticked costs Diamonds, so if you're not lucky with RNG, you might end up spending way more than you intended. Reforge your gear with this in mind.

Here, after reforging for a while with Gold, we got a full bar in STA, and an empty STR bar. Since this gear belongs to Cordie, her main stat is DEX as she's a Sniper-type Witch. So, we want to transfer the values in the STA bar to DEX. Here, we locked both the STR and STA bars so we could keep their values in place while squeezing a few more stats out of MAG and transferring them over to DEX (but only do this if you have the Diamonds to spare).

After a while, we got values in both DEX and STA, and we locked STR and MAG to transfer values between them. After a few taps, we now have a full DEX bar and a somewhat full STA bar, giving Cordie both a hefty DEX (and therefore ATK) buff, and a STA (and therefore HP) buff.

Always prioritize getting your character's main stat first, and then STA second. Besides, you'll have to do this all over again anyway once you get a new piece of gear (for example, upgrading from Michael to Metatron Gear), so always keep an eye on how many Diamonds you put into Reforging.
