Choose Your Hero
Chest & Blade is a dark fantasy idle RPG about gearing up and breaking through the wall in front of you. Create a character, pick a class, set how they look, and send them out.- Warrior — steady damage and the biggest health pool. The forgiving start.
- Mage — fragile early on, but Intelligence scaling turns good gear into serious damage.
- Barbarian — slow, heavy swings. Strong when the numbers line up, punishing when they do not.
Fight, Loot, Forge
Combat runs by itself. Your hero clears a stage, moves to the next one, and casts equipped active skills as they come off cooldown. You are not clicking every hit — you are deciding what to change when a stage stops going down.- Each act ends with a boss that gates the way forward.
- Loot Chests, Treasure Chests and Dragon Chests drop gear from Common all the way up to Mythic.
- Offline progress keeps collecting rewards while the game is closed, up to an 8-hour cap.
Hunt for Better Gear
Most of the game sits in what you equip. Rarity does not only raise the numbers — it decides how many affixes an item rolls, so two legendary swords can point at two completely different builds.- Weapons are class-bound; armor and accessories are open to any hero.
- Affixes roll from stat families in fixed tiers: damage, crit, attack speed, health, gold and drop rate, and more.
- Salvage what you do not need, combine three items of the same rarity into one of the next, craft from recipes, and reroll affixes when a piece is almost right.
- Slot upgrades are permanent. The plus sits on the equipment slot instead of the item, so it survives every gear swap.
Shape Your Build
- Skills — spend skill points across your class tree of passives, actives and an ultimate. Equipped actives fire automatically in combat, by priority.
- Runes — a wide board of long-term bonuses across several branches, funded mostly with gold, so farming always has somewhere to go.
- Augments — every few levels you draft one of three cards, which makes a level-up a decision instead of an automatic stat bump.
Keep Growing
- Daily and weekly quests hand you short goals to clear next to whatever stage you are pushing.
- Tiered achievements track the long haul: kills, chests opened, rarities found.
- Clear the final act and Heroic opens up — the same world on a much harder curve, with your progress intact.
