Bonesaw stats
The table lists the figures these pages give for the weapon. Fextralife and Game8 agree on the damage and status effect numbers, and Game8 also gives the weapon type. The Fextralife page marks the damage and guard break figures as level 1 values.
The Fextralife stats box lists only the damage and status effect numbers, so the table adds no other value. The shield and swift end rows come from the weapon’s description, which the Fextralife wiki and allthings.how both quote.
| Stat | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon type | Two-handed main weapon | Game8 |
| Damage at level 1 | 312 | Fextralife wiki; Game8 |
| Status effects at level 1 | 142 | Fextralife wiki; Game8 |
| Shield breaking | High | Fextralife wiki; allthings.how |
| Swift end | Never granted to enemies, according to its description | Fextralife wiki; allthings.how |
Combos and Sha-Chi attacks
The Fextralife wiki lists the moves below for the Bonesaw, with the button symbols it uses for each input. The Sha-Chi Combo is the step up from the base chain, and Savage Finale is the move the wiki describes as unblockable.
| Move | Input | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Combo | Four presses of the square button | The base attack string |
| Sha-Chi Combo | Two presses of the triangle button | Can be used after any swing in the Standard Combo; with enough Sha-Chi it becomes an enhanced attack with more damage and Guard Break |
| Savage Finale | L2, uses 1 Sha-Chi Essence | A series of grinding saw attacks with more damage to Guard-Broken enemies; unblockable |
| The Best Offense (unique skill) | No input listed | Standard blocks use more Sha-Chi; after a parry, the next attack has increased Sha-Chi Depletion |
Skills and upgrades by level
The level numbers below come from the Fextralife wiki. Game8 adds Cruel Advantage Lv. 2 and Lv. 3 and the Soul Tempering skill, but neither page gives a level for those rows, so they show none.
| Level | Skill | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Guard-Break Pursuit | Press the triangle button against a Guard-Broken enemy for a follow-up attack |
| 10 | Cruel Advantage Lv. 1 | Slightly increases damage dealt to Guard-Broken enemies |
| 15 | Bloodsaw | Each hit builds the Bloodsaw Gauge; when full, Bloodsaw lasts 15 seconds, and attacks build the enemy’s Bleed Gauge and can trigger Blood Loss. Puppets, Golden Bodies, and Phantom Bodies are not affected |
| 25 | Elimination | After Guard-Break Pursuit, greatly builds the Bloodsaw Gauge |
| Level not listed | Cruel Advantage Lv. 2 | Moderately increases damage dealt to Guard-Broken enemies |
| Level not listed | Cruel Advantage Lv. 3 | Greatly increases damage dealt to Guard-Broken enemies |
| Soul Tempering | Prey on the Mighty | Against boss-level enemies, Bloodsaw Gauge buildup rate is increased; while in Bloodsaw, Bleed Gauge buildup rate is also increased |
