Sawblades

A rare weapon that throws a blade in a straight line, dealing 3 damage and inflicting Bleed 1 — and the blade passes through all units it hits. With 9-16 durability you get plenty of throws, and corridors turn each toss into a multi-hit chain. Bleed on every target in the line makes this especially punishing against grouped enemies. The pierce mechanic is the main selling point; positioning to maximize the number of enemies in the line is key.

Each enemy in the line takes 3 damage and gains Bleed 1 independently. This means three enemies in a line take 9 total damage and all start bleeding, generating continued passive damage across all of them. In narrow corridors where enemies naturally bunch in lines, the Sawblades can create massive multi-target Bleed pressure from a single throw. The 9-16 durability range means high consistency across many fights.

Excellent in Bleed builds and in any dungeon with corridor-style layouts. Pair with Bleed-amplifying mutations to make the DoT stacks hit harder on all affected targets. Works especially well when enemies are funneled into straight lines by terrain, letting a single throw effectively damage and debuff an entire wave. One of the better consistent ranged options at rare rarity.
