How to Reforge in Soul's Crossover X

Reforging is the fastest way to spike damage in Soul’s Crossover X without replacing your entire gear set. The Frisk NPC in the main lobby (Undertale-inspired, Reforge label above their head) rerolls stat modifiers on eligible tools and spells for 5 Gems per attempt. This guide explains when to reforge, which items deserve Gems, and how reforge interacts with enchanting at Chara and boss farming.

What reforging does

Reforge applies a random tier to an item, changing percentage bonuses and sometimes penalties. The item name updates with a prefix (for example Heavy, Radiant, Broken) and the stat panel reflects new numbers until you reforge again.

Nine tiers exist in the standard pool, from negative rolls like Broken and Poor (stat decreases) through Common (+5% damage baseline) up to rare Secret (~1% chance). RNG means you can roll worse than your current tier — only reforge items you are willing to gamble on.

Separate reforge pools apply to different equipment categories:

• Melee tools / weapons — Heavy (+20% damage), Sharp (+15% damage), etc.
• Spells — Radiant (+30% spell damage) is a community favorite for burst.
• Summons, helmets, armor, accessories, pickaxes — each has its own modifier list; armor bonuses scale with item rarity.

Soul's Crossover X reforge walkthrough

How to reforge step by step

1. Farm Gems from Codes, quests, resets (+100 per Reset), and events.
2. Return to spawn lobby; locate Frisk (Reforge) — same area as Chara and the reset room.
3. Open the reforge UI and select one tool or spell you actively use.
4. Pay 5 Gems and confirm the roll.
5. Read the new prefix and stat panel. Stop if you hit Rare or better; repeat if you have disposable Gems.

Some reforges cannot be removed once applied — treat high-tier weapon rolls as permanent commitments until you replace the base item.

Which items to reforge first

Priority list for most PvE builds:

1. Main DPS spell — Hotland and Judgement Hall bosses are spell-check fights. Radiant or equivalent spell tiers outperform buffing a side weapon.
2. Primary melee tool — If you run hybrid, Heavy or Sharp on your most-used weapon.
3. Summon — Merciless or Hulking rolls when your build relies on summon uptime.
4. Armor — Only after spell and weapon are stable; rarity amplifies armor reforge value.

Do not reforge starter white gear you will replace after Underswap drops — check Enemy Drops for upgrade paths first.

Reforge tier reference

Tier feel	Typical effect	Player action
Broken / Poor	Stats down	Reforge again or swap item
Common	Small +5% bump	Acceptable early budget stop
Uncommon / Rare	Solid midgame	Stop unless chasing endgame
Epic / Legendary / Secret	Large bonuses	Keep; do not overwrite casually

Exact percentages vary by item category — always read the post-roll stat panel, not wiki tables alone.

Gem economy and reset synergy

Each reset grants 100 Gems = twenty reforge attempts if you spend everything on Frisk. Smarter players reserve 100 Gems for Seven Soul crafting at Sans (plus Soul Shards and 50,000 Gold) while still rolling their spell until Rare+.

Income sources ranked:

• First and second reset for crossover unlocks
• Code redemption (Codes hub)
• Quest milestones in Snowdin and Hotland
• Event rewards during DBZ

Reforge vs enchant vs soul craft

System	NPC	Cost	Effect
Reforge	Frisk	5 Gems	RNG stat tier on one item
Enchant	Chara	Varies	Enchantment layer — see How to Enchant
Soul craft	Sans	Shards + Gold + Gems	New soul identity and passives

Stack all three on your main character — reforge alone cannot replace a missing Determination or Super Saiyan soul.

Sample reforge session (20 Gems)

Budget: 4 attempts on Kamehameha or your best spell after Hotland.

• Roll 1: Poor → keep trying.
• Roll 2: Common → acceptable for temporary progress.
• Roll 3: Rare → stop; bank remaining Gems.
• Roll 4: only if still below Common after roll 3.

Document your spell name after each roll so you do not accidentally reforge a backup weapon.

When reforge is not worth it

• You have fewer than 15 Gems total and no souls crafted yet — craft Patience or Integrity first.
• You are minutes away from an Underswap weapon upgrade that beats your current tool regardless of tier.
• You have not read Controls and miss spell casts — skill issue, not stat issue.

Endgame reforge targets

After Super Saiyan Soul, reforge spells that synergize with Awakening (+50% damage, +100% HP regen for 35 seconds). Burst windows reward Radiant-tier spell modifiers.
