Phantom Blade Zero Weapons: Every Main Weapon and How to Get It

Every main weapon in Phantom Blade Zero is one-handed, two-handed, or dual-wield, and that type decides which upgrade metal it takes. Soul starts with Sanguine and Wooden Sanguine, and most new blades come from beating bosses, beginning in Weeping Creek Valley. The Weeping Creek Valley overview map for Phantom Blade Zero pins the stands and arenas.

Each blade below was swung through real fights on a PS5 run for Map Master, and the Phantom Blade Zero interactive maps and gear guides cover the edges and accessories around them. You equip two main weapons at once, and swapping between them is reported to refill Sha-Chi, so the pair matters more than any single blade.


Phantom Blade Zero Main Weapon Types: One-Handed, Two-Handed, and Dual-Wield


Each type has its own metal: one-handed blades take Forged Metal, two-handed blades take Broadplate Metal for great blades, and dual-wield pairs take Twinned Metal. Raising two weapons of different types splits your materials, while two of the same type compete for one supply.


Read the second stat carefully. Blades with a built-in effect list Status Effects where the others list Guard Break, so Jagged Steel’s 124 is a bleed figure, not a shield-breaking one. Every five upgrade levels is reported to unlock another skill, which is why a new blade deserves a few levels before you judge it.


Weeping Creek Valley Main Weapons in Phantom Blade Zero: The Sanguine Set and Two Boss Blades


The Sanguine family arrives first. Sanguine and Wooden Sanguine come with the prologue, Sanguine Twin waits on a weapon stand by the waterfall past Yu’er, and Sanguine Reach hangs on the rack behind Forge at the Outpost. Sanguine, its Twin, and its Reach all share 200 damage and 100 Guard Break, while Wooden Sanguine has 160 and 80.


Two valley bosses add stronger blades at 240 damage. Jagged Steel, from the Frenzied Brute of the same name, is a one-handed bleed blade, and Hua, Deadly Betrothed, drops the two-handed Scarlet Wraithblade, whose Red Spider Lilies drain Sha-Chi and HP. The Forge and the other Phantom Blade Zero blacksmiths handle the upgrades for all of them.


Phantom Blade Zero Crimson Forest Main Weapons: Hua Qianxiao, Jing Ye, and Bai Chilian


Each Crimson Forest boss leaves a blade with a trick. Hua Qianxiao’s Fanatic’s Broken Blade is a one-handed 228-damage sword that flies at distant enemies once you drink, with damage falling off over range. Jing Ye’s two-handed Outlaw Warblade hits for 240 and can drain blood to heal or spend your own HP for more damage.


White Serpent & Crimson Viper is the standout, a dual-wield pair from Bai Chilian with 260 damage and 110 Guard Break, 30% more damage than Sanguine Twin. The Crimson Forest overview map in Phantom Blade Zero places all three arenas, and the pair takes Twinned Metal for dual-wield upgrades.


Main Weapons Beyond Crimson Forest in Phantom Blade Zero: Village of Lu and Pangzhen


The Village of Lu adds the Tianxuan Bronze Sword, the Wild Oriole Sword, the Fiend Saws, and TianMiao, most of them reported as boss rewards, with Master Bi Yuan, Mu Xiaokui, and the Jade Dancer and Iron Fiend among the fights. The Village of Lu overview map for Phantom Blade Zero places each one.


Pangzhen brings the Armybreaker and the Parting Hooks, the Armybreaker reported from Cavalrybane, the Shadow Warden Elite. The Pangzhen & Mirage Estate overview map in Phantom Blade Zero places both, and the bosses that drop each weapon cover how to win them.


Building a Two-Weapon Loadout in Phantom Blade Zero


Pair two blades that play differently. In the valley, Jagged Steel with Sanguine Twin gives you bleed on one hand and fast flurries on the other, and Wooden Sanguine earns no slot once you own anything else, since it deals 80% of Sanguine’s damage. Swap when your Sha-Chi runs low, since the swap is reported to refill it.


Commit your metal to the pair, not to every blade you find. Early weapon levels are reported to refund for free, so trying a new drop costs nothing at first, and the Forged Metal for one-handed upgrades moves straight back to Sanguine or Jagged Steel if the experiment doesn’t stick.
