1122Overview3344Broken Blade is a Common saber-class melee weapon in Windrose. At least it's still sharp.5566Sabers are one-handed Slash weapons that scale with Agility; the main-hand slot leaves the off-hand free for a Pistol, torch, or shield. See Sabers for the full class profile.7788At a Glance991010FieldValueWeapon ClassSabersRarityCommonDamage190 SlashScalingAgility (C)ATK (Item Level 15)90ATK (Level 1 crafted)90Stack Size1FlavorEvery good story begins with a hero who's lost everything and finds himself sitting by a wrecked ship.1111Crafting12121313Craft at the Weaponsmith Workshop (Level 1).

Sabers reward quick light-attack cycling over heavy-attack spam because the shorter reach means committed heavies leave you exposed.24242525The 190 Slash figure is the weapon's base damage entry, while the displayed ATK of 90 is what the Broken Blade contributes at its fixed item level with C-grade Agility scaling. Because it is locked at Level 1 and cannot be ascended, its ATK does not climb the way a crafted Saber can, which is the core reason it is a throwaway opener rather than a keeper.26262727Obtaining and Replacing28282929Handed to you during the opening story beat How My Shore Adventure Began, so every character starts with one; you do not craft the first copy.It can also be crafted at the Weaponsmith Workshop from Copper Ingot and Rough Hide, but there is little reason to: the same station makes the Uncommon Saber at higher base damage for comparable materials.Disassembling it returns Nails rather than its build materials, so salvage it for a few crafting components once you have a real weapon equipped.30303131Talent Synergies32323333Agility-scaling weapons pull from the Fencer branch of the Talent System. Relevant picks include talents that boost Slash damage, Critical Hit Chance for light attacks, Perfect Block window width, and Retaliation stack duration. Agility builds commonly pair with the Flibustier armor set (+15% one-handed damage on the 4-piece bonus) for sabers or with two-handed damage talents for greatswords.34343535See the Talent System article for the current list of unlockable talents and their exact bonus values. Respeccing talents costs an in-game currency, so early-game branch commitments tend to lock in weapon pairings for the rest of the playthrough.36363737Comparison Within Class38383939Broken Blade sits alongside 6 other sabers on the current live index.
