3 months ago 111

Once immersed in the new God of War, Ragnarok: Valhalla, you are never far from a fight. For Kratos, the Blades of Chaos are the go-to weapons, with the iconic pair becoming the main character’s top line of defense. It’s no surprise, then, that the God of War Ragnarok brought the weapons glyphs as modes of upgrading your blades' attack skills against opponents.

Like past God of War versions, God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla promises reimagined combat scenes in the new Challenge Rooms and Sanctuaries quests. Such combat upgrades also mean the Blades of Chaos get a new face of skills, with each weapon glyph bringing a new twist to the skills present. For the fans, we have sought out the best Blades of Chaos skills you can try from the list of weapon glyphs. Here are the best Blades of Chaos skills in God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla.

5. Rising Chaos

Vaporize Frost

If you have been a fan of God of War Ragnarok, then you are aware of the capability to launch your enemies up during close combat fights. Previous God of War Ragnarok versions have showcased this airborne ability as a means of self-defense against enemies when they charge at you.

The Rising Chaos is exactly that airborne twist, coming with an extra punch to get your enemies up in the air by pressing the R1 button. However, the Rising Chaos is more than just about a powerful flip into the air. The combat skill has received upgrades to level you up to the powerful opponents in the God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla.

For starters, the Rising Chaos prove useful when countering enemies from a distance. The new upgrade allows for far-away attacks where you can hit the enemy with the whirlwind even from afar. Additionally, this Rising Chaos also allows for a multiple hitbox, meaning you get to effect multiple hits against foes charging at you.

4. Vaporize Frost

Vaporize Frost

The God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla takes you through different quests, often needing you to navigate the dark labyrinth of Valhalla. Here, Kratos easily comes up against multiple enemies from different sides. The Vaporize Frost is one of the best Blades of Chaos skills you can use for such scenarios.

Under this skill, Kratos gets a capability that allows him to freeze our enemies before dealing damage. If a melee attack happens, Kratos takes out the Blades of Chaos and unleashes a freeze around him. The frozen enemies remain inactive until Kratos can attack again and dish out more punches and hits. Since it's a fairly easy-to-unlock skill, the Vaporize Frost is also cheap, making it a priority to buy from the onset.

3. Blazing Explosion

Blazing Explosion

It's clear from the name that the Blazing Explosion skill aims to bring out the fun of fighting with fire. The Blazing Explosion sticks true to its title by introducing a skilled attack where Kratos stabs both blades into an opponent and blows them up. However, the Blazing Explosion also gets an upgrade with its second option, the Blazing Explosion 2 in God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla.

Since it's an upgrade, Blazing Explosion 2 promises a bigger explosion with extra features for more kills. For instance, the bigger explosion guarantees more enemy hits, especially if the foes are crowding together. The Blazing Explosion 2.0 also gives you the option of tagging and attacking opponents in mid-air. You get to unleash the Blades of Chaos, grab a flying opponent, and take them down before exploding them to bits.

2. Plume of Chaos

Plume of Chaos

The Plume of Chaos skill unlocks a standard combination of finishing prowess and incredible power and strength against enemies. Typically, the attack would come in handy when you needed to take down surrounding enemies looking to overpower you.

Inside the skillset, Kratos unleashes a heavy attack finisher using a combo of light attacks to devastate enemies. The melee skill starts Kratos off with a wave attack capable of banging off multiple enemies in his surrounding area using fire. In reality, it is an invaluable skill during any gameplay since one sweep of your Blades of Chaos guarantees defense against a huge surge of charging enemies.

However, the Plume of Chaos is not all about taking down a huge attack. As you will see, the all-new Plume of Chaos+ glyph promises to drastically increase Kratos' power for the Plume of Chaos. From here, it will no longer be about how many foes you can take down but also the amount of damage you can deal with. Once you unlock the skill, your Blades upgrade to be worthy enough to finish off your fight combos with efficiency

1. Hyperion Grapple 

 Best Valhalla Blades of Chaos skills

If you are an avid fan, then you are well aware that the Blades of Chaos cannot be thrown at foes. However, other weapons, such as the Leviathan Axe, are capable of being thrown, allowing for a finishing combo with the melee moves. Such luxury allows you to take down distant enemies without worrying about your weapons landing in the wrong hands. However, the Hyperion Grapple seeks to eliminate this shortcoming.

In your God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla gameplay, the Hyperion Grapple skill gives you the option of a chain with a guaranteed stun as the end moves. Even better is when you unlock the Hyperion Blades+ glyph, which drastically increases the Hyperion Grapple’s capability.

In comes the Hyperion Grapple 2, a highly potent version allowing for a versatile moveset from your Blades of Chaos. A fireball effect is added to the Hyperion Grapple kit, increasing your range and damage from attacks. You will no longer just hit enemies with your blades but also burn foes close by and devastate their surroundings. It is a definite tiebreaker whenever the fight seems exhaustive and you are up against a huge attack from troops.
