Celestial Greatsword evolution recipe
The Celestial Greatsword evolution starts with the Grandblade in Age of Sigmar runs. You need the Tape Measure at any level.
Multiple launch-week guides list this pairing. This is a source cross-check, not a claim that this site tested the recipe in game.
How do you get Celestial Greatsword?
This pairing is for Age of Sigmar runs. A familiar passive can lead to a different recipe in the other universe, so check the universe label before building around it.
Celestial Greatsword evolution checklist: use the Grandblade, carry Tape Measure at any level, and open a boss or elite chest. This is the core requirement set for the Celestial Greatsword evolution in Age of Sigmar runs.
- Base weapon: Grandblade; max level is required before its evolution step.
- Passive: Tape Measure at any level.
- Chest: a boss or elite chest after the requirements are ready.
- Result: replaces the base weapon (standard evolution).
Things to know
The Grandblade had no evolution in the pre-launch demo. Every launch guide now lists this recipe.
Step by step
Keep the weapon, passive and eligible chest requirements in view together. A matching weapon and passive do not trigger an evolution by themselves; the chest is the final step.
- Level the Grandblade to max. Most weapons max out at level 8.
- Pick up the Tape Measure. Any level works, so you do not need to upgrade it.
- Open a boss or elite chest. Kill a boss or elite enemy and open the chest it drops. If the weapon and passive are both ready, the chest gives you Celestial Greatsword.
Other weapons the Tape Measure evolves
- In Warhammer 40,000 runs, the Tape Measure evolves the Chainsword into Eviscerator Chainsword.
