How do you get the Warden's Sword?
The Warden's Sword is a boss drop, not a shop item. On average it takes about 10 to 20 Warden kills at 5% to 10% each.
- Where: the left side of the Prison in the First Sea.
- The boss: the Warden is level 230 with 8,600 HP, back after 7 minutes. His quest, from the Head Jailer, pays 10,000 Beli and 1,000,000 EXP.
- His attacks: he uses both of this sword's moves, the shockwave and the tornado. Hit and run works: dodge in, land a hit and dodge away before he reacts. Light is a good fit for its ranged moves, so watch your energy, because you cannot dash without it.
- The drop: the Warden's Sword drops at a 5% to 10% chance.

Warden's Sword strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
General
- Easy to upgrade and low in mastery needs, so it works as an early sword.
- An unusually large M1 hitbox.
Multi-Target Slash (Z)
- Hits several enemies in a good area and stuns.
Tornado Slash (X)
- Hits several enemies and also stuns.
Weaknesses
General
- Cannot damage players using the Blade fruit.
- Neither move carries you, and both lack range.
- Low M1 damage, like most First Sea swords.
Multi-Target Slash (Z)
- High knockback, which scatters enemies when you grind.
- You turn invisible during the move, but that gives no invincibility frames.
Tornado Slash (X)
- Also high knockback, so it is harder to grind enemies with.
Verdict
Take the Warden's Sword as your first Rare: it comes from a level 230 boss, needs only 80 mastery in all and upgrades with two common materials. Swap it out soon after you reach the Second Sea, since it lacks range.
Warden's Sword tips and tricks
- Keep X for combos: it launches what it hits into the air and its knockback is high, so it scatters groups instead of grinding them.
- Use Z for Instinct users: the shockwave breaks Instinct, while the tornado cannot.
- Farm Magma Ore from Military Soldiers: the First Sea ones have the lowest health of the enemies that drop it.
