Weapons (2)
The Phantom Blade
VerifiedWeaponSpoilers · Spoiler-freeThe eponymous weapon-and-technique of the game, tied to Soul's spirit partnership.
Phantom Blade Zero's title weapon. Official footage presents it as Soul's signature finisher, performed with a spectral partner; the game's title, official site and logo all feature it. Its mechanical details — a weapon slot, a transformation, a skill — have not been defined by official sources, and trailer choreography should not be read as gameplay rules.
