Official in-game grade
Tier 6of 9 · Mid grade (Tier 5-6)
Grade is the martial art's official in-game tier from the Taiwupedia (Tier 1–9). Tier 1 is the rarest with the highest ceiling; Tier 9 is the most basic and widely available. A lower tier number is not automatically better for a first run — access, practice level, and weapon-range fit usually matter more early.
How to obtain
Learn through Swordsmith Villa internal practice.
When to use it
Use Forge's Trial as the internal engine for a gear-driven Swordsmith Villa fighter. It conditions you to tie combat power to crafted equipment, keeping qi and body ready to deliver weapon damage.
Beginner note
Like all internal arts it is the quiet half of the build. Invest early so your weapon route has the staying power to actually land its damage.

- Tier 6 means this is a practical bridge art that can carry a character while the build matures.
- Its crafting, qi, weapon tags are the quickest way to decide whether this art belongs in your current route or a later experiment.

Do weapon builds still need an internal art?
Yes. Even gear-focused routes need qi and durability, or strong weapon damage gets cut short in longer fights.
What does Forge's Trial pair with?
A Swordsmith Villa weapon line such as Zhanlu Sword Art or Kunwu Blade Art, so your internal base supports the gear payoff.
