& BUILDS
Weapon tier list, prosthetic tools and the strongest builds — updated through launch.
Weapon categories武器分类
Phantom Blade Zero lets you pair one primary and one secondary weapon and swap mid-combo. Three families are confirmed, each with distinct speed/range/trade-off profiles.
| Family | Speed | Range | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Blade | Slow | Long | Break damage, one-shot punishes |
| Twin Sabers | Very fast | Short | Sustained chains, status stacking |
| Spear | Medium | Longest | Keep-away pokes, precision |
Early tier list (pre-launch)早期梯队（发售前）
- S — Heavy Blade + Twin Sabers: slow-into-fast swapping covers every punish window; the community-tested combo path since the demo.
- A — Spear + Twin Sabers: the safety pick for souls-like veterans; trade some break damage for far fewer hits taken.
- B — Same-family pairs: stylish but redundant — you lose the swap-branch finishers that drive real damage.
This list will be re-ranked with hard data within days of the October 26 early access window.
Phantom prosthetics ranking义肢机关排行
- 1. Grapple hook — gap closer AND exploration tool; take it first, never unequip it.
- 2. Flame vent — applies burn to break boss stance ticks; best boss-opener.
- 3. Hidden blades — burst option for punish windows after a perfect parry.
Starter build recommendation开荒构筑推荐
Run Heavy Blade primary + Twin Sabers secondary, grapple and flame vent prosthetics. Open with flame vent, break stance with heavy slabs, then swap to sabers for the slow-mo Phantom Time window and dump the chain. Simple, safe, scales all game.
