What Is the Flying Dagger Phantom Blade Zero?

The Flying Dagger is a Ranged-type Phantom Edge that throws knives and poisons whatever it hits. The Fextralife fan wiki lists 251 damage and 216 Guard Break at base level 1, plus Poison buildup on every attack and a combo that spends one Remnant Spark.

The combat skill fires up to three ranged volleys of throwing knives when you press R2 repeatedly, and finishing the whole sequence costs one Remnant Spark. Fextralife adds that Phantom Edge uses are refilled at Bells, so the combat guide is the place to check how that resource fits a fight.

What Are the Flying Dagger Phantom Blade Zero Stats?

The two base numbers are 251 damage and 216 Guard Break at level 1, both from the Fextralife fan wiki. The table below adds the other figures the listings give: three jade treasures, up to three volleys, one Remnant Spark per full combo, and four upgrade levels with unlocks at 5, 10, 15 and 25.

The unlock levels sit at 5, 10, 15 and 25: Quickhand Step at 5 teleports and throws without breaking the combo, Unerring Throw Lv. 1 at 10 adds damage and Sha-Chi depletion on locked-on targets, Shadowless Step at 15 turns a hit into a teleport, and Windborne Step at 25 leaves up to four Phantom Doubles.

How Do You Get the Flying Dagger?

Rescue Quick Hand Zhang in Crimson Forest, collect the region's three jade treasures, then hand them back to him at his Thieves' Camp hideout. The Epic Games Store guide treats that turn-in as the unlock, and Game8 files it as Quick Hand's Request in Chapter 4.

The GamersBeacon guide puts the Flying Dagger at Thieves' Camp once the three treasures are handed in, which keeps the final step the return visit rather than a chest. Zhang also hands out Goldblaze, so finish his requests in one pass.

  • Rescue Quick Hand Zhang in Crimson Forest; the locations page covers the region.
  • Find all three jade treasures, following the chapter order on the walkthrough.
  • Return the treasures to Zhang at his Thieves' Camp hideout.
  • Take the Flying Dagger, then compare it with the rest of the Phantom Edges list.

Which Builds Pair With the Flying Dagger?

Treat it as a ranged pressure tool: knife volleys and Poison buildup reward keeping distance, while one Remnant Spark per full combo caps how often you finish the sequence. The builds page and combat guide cover how Phantom Edges, Remnant Sparks and Sha-Chi spending fit a loadout.

Windborne Step is the movement end of the kit: press L1 and R2 to enter a high-speed state, leave one Phantom Double behind for every set distance travelled up to four, and end the state with Soul and every double attacking the same target. The Phantom Edges list shows the alternatives.

Is the Flying Dagger Phantom Blade Zero Worth It?

The Flying Dagger earns its slot if you want ranged pressure: poison on every attack, up to three knife volleys, and a Ranged Shot that still shoots down hanging objects when the Phantom Edge sits unequipped. The cost is one Remnant Spark each time you finish the full volley.

Our take: the base numbers are the firmest detail on this page, because one listing gives 251 damage and 216 Guard Break for the same level 1. Everything else here repeats what a single fan wiki states, so treat the unlock route as the reliable part and the skill levels as a reading of one page.
