Phantom Blade Zero weapons and Phantom Edges

Updated 2026-10-16. Checked 2026-10-16.

Steam describes over 30 primary weapons and more than 20 Phantom Edges. Soulframe Liang's August 17, 2026 PlayStation Blog specifies 25 Phantom Edges. These statements are compatible: more than 20 is a lower bound, not a conflicting exact count.

A full named weapon database and final balancing values are not verified before release. Preview examples are identified separately from developer-confirmed systems.

What the systems are

The developer's PlayStation Blog confirms weapon upgrades, accessories and reforging that recovers invested materials. It does not document an unrestricted skill-tree respec or numerical upgrade costs.

Liang's December 2025 RPG Site interview describes two main weapons and two secondary weapons equipped together. It mentions two accessories in that demo; an exact final accessory-slot count is not asserted here.

Shacknews' October preview identifies Soul's starting blade Sanguine and The Hunt's Chain Sickle. These are revealed examples, not a tier list or a guarantee about every launch weapon's acquisition conditions.

Slot	Examples	Count cited
Blades	Main swords	30+ on Steam
Phantom Edges	Secondary weapons; developer also describes ranged options and summons	More than 20 on Steam; 25 in the developer post
Loadout	Two primary plus two secondary weapons	RPG Site director interview, December 2025; final accessory count not verified
