Clivers — early Dendrit short blade at 12 Courage; Tessard — 48 ATK Mockery longsword at 14 Courage — upgrade path, not same-weapon compare. — Soulframe...
Dendrit twinblade sidearms requiring Courage 12 and Grace attunement. Fragments drop from The Organ, Flayed Reaper, and Etheldred The Weaver. Craft at Tuvalkane using Knotwood×25 and Sproutfolk Frond×25 (10h). The magnetic twinblade design pulls blades together on combo finishers, creating a distinctive closing animation that can catch retreating foes. Post-Preludes 15: 25 ATK, 5% smite chance. A reliable early Courage short blade for dual-wield pressure builds.
Uncommon Mockery Long Blade requiring 14 Courage with Spirit co-attunement, 48 ATK, and 30 stagger. Forge it from two fragments dropped by Armoured Mockery, Deadwood Mockery, or Impidh Mockery. Kabocha's Cogah variant adds a supplemental fragment roll to the same encounter.
