11Overview33Cutlass is a Rare / Epic saber-class melee weapon in Windrose. A massive, deadly cutlass decorated with engravings resembling ocean waves.55Sabers 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.77At a Glance99FieldValueWeapon ClassSabersRarityRare / EpicDamage215 SlashScalingAgility (B at Rare, A at Epic)ATK (Item Level 15)380ATK (Level 1 crafted)100Stack Size1FlavorBest boarding feint?

Ingredients: Cutlass x1, Tumbaga Ingot x7. The ascension consumes the Rare weapon. See Tumbaga Ingot for sourcing notes and Upgrade System for the full ascension mechanic.2828How to Obtain3030Dropped by Blackbeard crew from multiple Blackbeard camps and shipwrecks.Occasionally found in Buccaneer camp chests and old skeleton caches.3232Loot Sources3434This weapon rolls from the shared Pirate Chest Loot Pool at a 20% per-chest chance across 13 chest spawns (Blackbeard Crew, Buccaneers', Decrepit, Old Skeleton, Smugglers', and Thomas Richards' chests). See that article for the full chest list and locations.3636Tactical Usage3838The best Saber-class weapon for hybrid saber + pistol play. The Take Aim! stacks feed directly into pistol damage, making it the anchor for Precision/Agility swap builds.4040Keep a Pistol or torch in the off-hand to double the Agility loadout's burst options. Sabers reward quick light-attack cycling over heavy-attack spam because the shorter reach means committed heavies leave you exposed.4242Talent Synergies4444Agility-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.4646See 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.4848Comparison Within Class5050Cutlass sits alongside 6 other sabers on the current live index.
