Phantom Blade Zero weapon tier list
Short answer: No major guide has published a ranked Phantom Blade Zero tier list yet, so we group weapons by the job they're good at. Shield-breakers like iron fists and hammers handle armoured foes. Parry blades suit counter play. Fire and cannon Phantom Edges clear groups. The Scarlet Wraithblade is the standout early pick.

待验证The game launched on 29 October. This list rests on traits the sources describe, not on community win rates, and it will change.
| Tier | Weapon | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 早Early power | Scarlet WraithbladeTwo-handed | Boss guides call it a strong early weapon. You get it from Hua, a secret boss under the first Sha-Chi tower in Weeping Creek Valley. |
| Hunter's Chain SickleMartial | Your first Phantom Edge, a guaranteed reward from The Hunt. It gives you reach before you have other options. | |
| 破Shield-breakers | Iron Fist GauntletsHeavy blunt/fist | Breaks guards and shields that light blades bounce off, which many armoured enemies and some bosses need. |
| HammersHeavy blunt | Does the same job as the gauntlets with more reach. Sources recommend keeping a breaker in one main slot. | |
| Savage Axe待验证Axe | Reported to handle shielded and armoured foes. Only one source so far. | |
| 守Parry & control | Venomous Softblade待验证Blade, parry-focused | Described as the best parry weapon, suited to counter-based play. |
| Soft Snake SwordFlexible whip-sword | Wraps around guards and cuts incoming projectiles, but struggles against heavy armour. | |
| White SerpentDual blade, long half of pair | A twin-blade pair from Bai Chilian. The long blade throws the short one for ranged hits. | |
| 群Crowd clear (Phantom Edges) | Flaming ManeFire | Spreads fire to clear groups and works well against beasts. |
| Tiger CannonRanged cannon | Hits distant enemies and detonates self-destructing foes before they reach you. |
How we rank
- We group weapons by role, not S-to-D ranks. No large guide (game8, IGN, Fextralife, PowerPyx) or Reddit consensus had a ranked list when we checked, so a letter grade would be invented.
- Each reason comes from a cited source. Weapons backed by a single source are marked 待验证.
- The best loadout covers every role: one fast blade, one shield-breaker, and Phantom Edges for range and crowds.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best weapon in Phantom Blade Zero?＋
There's no settled answer yet. For the early game, the Scarlet Wraithblade from the secret Hua fight is the common pick. Carry a shield-breaker such as iron fists or a hammer for armoured enemies.
Is there an official tier list?＋
No. S-GAME hasn't ranked weapons, and the meta is days old. This page will change as players test the late game.
