Wolfjaw at a Glance
- Dropped by a boss. Beating Wu Xuan, the Fallen General, in Pangzhen is what hands it over.
- Destructive Phantom Edge. Equipping it never costs you a primary weapon, because it is slotted as a Phantom Edge.
- Shield cracker. At level 1 the Guard Break number sits above the Damage number.
- Healing through hits. Strikes against susceptible enemies return HP to the wielder.
- Blood Feast progression. Levelling it up unlocks Bloodlust, Full-Power Strike and Heart-Piercing Wolf, while Blood Feast climbs to rank 3 by level 30.
Overview
Wolfjaw is the spiked mace that the Fallen General, Wu Xuan, used to carry; you win it by defeating him.
Among the Phantom Edges it sits in the Destructive group, built for cracking open defences instead of landing fast strings. Its sustain is what separates it from an ordinary heavy mace: hits that connect with susceptible enemies return HP, which makes it a good pick when you are already exchanging blows.
The Bashpole is the natural point of comparison, being the other mace-style Destructive edge you can pick up.

Best used for
