How Phantom Blade Zero's weapons work, every weapon named in the official achievements and its signature move, and what the launch-week tier lists agree on. Each claim is labelled with where it came from.

Phantom Blade Zero has over 30 primary weapons and 20+ Phantom Edges. [Official] You carry two primary weapons and two Phantom Edges at once. Swapping primaries has a cooldown and refills your Sha-Chi. [Press]

## How the loadout works

## Weapon classes

Primary weapons fall into three classes. Each class uses its own upgrade metal. [Guide] [Guide]

| Class | Upgrade material line |
| One-Handed | Forged Metal → Polished Forged Metal → Flawless Forged Metal |
| Dual-Wielded | Twinned Metal → Polished Twinned Metal → Flawless Twinned Metal |
| Two-Handed | Broadplate Metal → Polished Broadplate Metal → Flawless Broadplate Metal |

Weapons level up to 30. [Official] Guides report new traits at roughly levels 5, 10, 15 and 25. Level 10 unlocks a class-wide ability that then works on every weapon of that class. [Guide] Details on the [Upgrades](https://phantombladezerogame.org/upgrades/) page.

## Best weapons: what the tier lists agree on

We don't publish our own tier list, because we can't verify damage numbers. Here is where launch-week guides overlap:

- Jagged Steel is rated S tier by KeenGamer and recommended for the early game: it builds bleed fast. [Guide] It is also one of the first weapons most players use: 79% have inflicted Blood Loss with it. [Official]
- White Serpent & Crimson Viper, Fiend Saws, Freezing Chaos and Parting Hooks make up the rest of KeenGamer's S tier. Wild Oriole Sword is A tier. [Guide]
- Soft Snake Sword and Parting Hooks are the defensive picks for hard bosses. The Soft Snake Sword's Serpentine Reversal deflects attacks. [Guide] [Official]
- Beebom lists Fiend Saws as coming from the Village of Lu and Freezing Chaos from Mirage Estate. [Guide]
Respec is cheap. Reverting a weapon at a Bell refunds all the materials and Remnant Dust you spent, so trying a new weapon costs nothing in the long run. [Guide]
