Getting the Fiend Saws
Defeat Jade Dancer, Young Mistress's Guardian in Village of Lu. The site files the same fight as Mu Xiaokui, the Young Mistress of the Order, so look for that row on the boss list; the Fiend Saws are the drop.

Where to go next
- Mu Xiaokui, the Young Mistress of the Order on the boss list — the Village of Lu fight that drops them.
- Jagged Steel — the fast one-hander to run alongside for pressure.
- Phantom Edges — the two second-slot weapons.
- Upgrade costs on the weapons list — the metal and solvent matched to each Blade class.
