TOP top weapons in Phantom Blade Zero

Phantom Blade Zero has up to 30 different weaponsu. They are divided into three groups: one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons and dual (two-handed) weapons, with each type having its own distinct uses. However, when there are so many options, deciding which one to use is not easy.

Therefore, this article will summarize for you the top rated Phantom Blade Zero weapons currently. Note, the effectiveness of each weapon may vary depending on each specific situation.

Baishan Stormswords

Baishan Stormswords are some of the most interesting weapons in Phantom Blade Zero. With the power of Wind and Thunder, this pair of swords possesses extremely powerful power, especially Thunder – capable of paralyzing enemies on the spot.

Normal attacks will accumulate the Wind Gauge, while Sha-Chi attacks will accumulate the Thunder gauge. When both bars are full, you will receive Baishan’s Blessing status, which increases damage for 20 seconds. When upgrading weapons, filling these bars will become easier.

When Baishan’s Blessing is activated, you can use the powerful skill called Lightning Storm to sweep the battlefield. This skill becomes even more powerful when Soul Tempered. This weapon combines very well with attachments like Feather Fan Plume and Thundermoon Lantern, making it an extremely powerful mid-game choice.

White Serpent & Crimson Viper (White Serpent & Red Snake)

Next is another dual weapon: White Serpent and Crimson Viper. Although it does not possess strong pure damage like Baishan Stormswords, this weapon makes up for it with high flexibility and does not require players to wait for the energy bar to refill.

You can use one of the swords to form a barrier, causing it to float around you. While in Soul Tempered state, if you retrieve the sword early, you will summon Hundred-Knot Serpents to aid in battle. This weapon offers a great mix of melee and ranged combat, and is an excellent choice for the mid-game.

Outlaw Warblade

Outlaw Warblade is one of the favorite weapons in the early stages of the game. Its biggest advantage is the ability to recover HP when dealing damage to enemies. In the context of limited healing items in the early stages, this is an extremely important advantage.

The bonus stats and characteristics of this weapon all revolve around recovering HP and managing the amount of recoverable HP on the health bar of the main character, Soul. This mechanic requires a delicate balance: the more damage you take, the more damage you deal and the more HP you can restore. Even without taking advantage of that mechanism, this weapon is still powerful enough to deal extremely powerful blows to the enemy.

Whiteshadow

Whiteshadow can only be obtained when you complete the Acolyte quest in Phantom Blade Zero. Completing this mission not only helps you own the weapon mentioned above but is also a prerequisite for achieving the Perfect Ending. This is the second elemental weapon on the list, dealing Ice damage – capable of freezing enemies, creating an opportunity for you to deliver punishing blows.

When you upgrade this weapon, you will accumulate the enemy’s Frost Gauge faster, and unlock the ability to rush straight to frozen enemies. Soul Tempering allows you to continue to accumulate an enemy’s Frost Gauge even if they block an attack. This mechanism combines perfectly with the Acolyte Icicle accessory, giving enemies a… bone-chilling experience.

Shadowless Edge

As one of the three signature weapons of the character Soul, this is truly a “monster“. It has the ability to tear apart enemies, even summoning a copy of Soul to fight together for a certain period of time (similar to the Mimic Tear mechanism in Elden Ring). This weapon has extremely fast speed, when it reaches level 5, it unlocks the skill “.Chi-Infused Blade”helps increase strength significantly. If you are a dual sword style player, this is definitely one of the best options.

Aureate

Aureate is another weapon that is limited due to its late unlock requirement. You can only own it after achieving Perfect Ending in Phantom Blade Zero. This makes it great for new plays (NG+), but inaccessible for the first time.

Aureate itself is a powerful sword, but every time you attack Sha-Chi, a golden sword will appear and rush straight towards the enemy hit. When an enemy hits five such swords, a destructive Sword Energy Burst will be triggered. This power increases further as you upgrade the weapon, turning it into a nearly unstoppable weapon.
