Bonesaw

A saw-blade with coarse, jagged teeth; the edge is not for cutting but for dragging. It was the weapon the Saw carried as a Shadow Warden of the Order.

Bonesaw has no interest in a clean kill. Its shield-breaking is high, and once a guard is broken the active art deals extra damage to the Guard-Broken — it never grants a swift end to anything that cannot fight back.

The blocking ledger is just as plain: a standard block eats more Sha-Chi, but a successful parry raises the Sha-Chi Depletion of the next attack. One precise catch buys one heavier press.

Against bosses the Bloodsaw gauge builds faster, and an enemy caught in Bloodsaw bleeds faster still. This is a weapon that cuts deeper the longer it goes: plain at the start, ugly at the end.

• Active | Savage Finale: Spend 1 Sha-Chi for a brutal series of grinding saw strikes, dealing increased damage to Guard-Broken enemies. Unblockable.
• Special | The Best Offense: Standard blocks consume more Sha-Chi, but after a perfect block the next attack has increased Sha-Chi Depletion.
• Soul Tempering | Prey on the Mighty: When fighting boss-level enemies, [Bloodsaw] builds faster, and enemies in [Bloodsaw] build their Bleed Gauge faster.
• Later | Guard-Break Pursuit, Cruel Advantage, Bloodsaw, Elimination

The Saw served the Order alongside the Crusher, and the Crusher's mismatched body — one side massive, one side withered — was steered by him. Defeating the pair unlocks the achievement "Saw It Through".
