Best Wild Hearts Claw Blade Build

Claw your way to victory with blade-some style.

In Wild Hearts, elegance meets devastation, and claw blade reigns supreme. If you’re looking for a weapon that combines safe, consistent damage with jaw-dropping aerial mobility, the claw blade’s for you. One of the reasons why the claw blade is a fan-favorite among Wild Hearts players is its ability to dish out significant multi-hit damage while maintaining mobility in the air. In addition, the anchor keeps you connected to your kemono and allows you to easily target and break specific kemono parts, making it an ideal weapon for farming materials.
