Best Blades of Chaos Attachments in God of War Ragnarok

Hardened War Handles

The Blades of Chaos’ range is often underutilized, but the Hardened War Handles give the perfect excuse to pull and grapple enemies for more often. The attachment provides a sizable buff to the Hyperion Grapple and Hyperion Pull skills – which hurl Kratos at enemies and pull them to Kratos, respectively – called Banishing Blade. With extra damage and stun effect for each use of these skills, they’ll quickly count among your go-to moves with the Blades.

The Hardened War Handles also grant a chunk of strength points, and more than respectable boosts to both defense and vitality, making the pommel a balanced option for players that favor versatility in their build. Fully upgraded to level 9, you’re looking at a 40 strength buff.

Pommels of the Undying Spark

Many attachments are highly situational or require the use of a specific skill to truly tap into their potential. That isn’t the case with the Pommel of the Undying Spark, which increases the damage caused by the Burn status inflicted on enemies courtesy of the pommel’s Scorching Burn skill.

In action, this means any Triangle-charged attack causes even more damage. When paired with Flame Whiplash II, which charges whiplash with a single tap of the Triangle button after any Blades attack, you can easily chain Burn damage combo attacks to tear through enemies of all kinds.

Turning to stat boosts, the Pommels of Undying Spark offer 46 strength when fully upgraded sided by 26 runic, boosting a build’s overall DPS nicely.

Cursed Empress Handles

With a 29 strength and 34 runic boost, the Cursed Empress Handles are a solid option for the Blades, but add in the Power of the Empress skill and they’re contenders for the best Blades attachment in God of War Ragnarok.

Power of the Empress offers a low luck chance of any Blades hit to grant a strength and runic buff that can be stacked up to three times. For players partial to combo-ing basic attacks as their main source of damage, the Cursed Empress Handless complement the playstyle well.
