Loong Trident Phantom Blade Zero: Location, Stats, and Effects

By the Blade Zero Wiki editors

Updated

The Loong Trident Phantom Blade Zero is a ranged Phantom Edge you take from You Loong, the Frenzied Blackwater Crew Leader, at the Blackwater Crew Dock in Meigu Lake. Level 1 damage is 195 and Guard Break is 175, and every charged throw inflicts Wet while spending one Remnant Spark.

What Does the Loong Trident Phantom Blade Zero Do?

The trident is thrown, not swung: hold R2 to charge, release to send it a long distance, and it spends one Remnant Spark per throw. Every attack inflicts Wet, and hits land harder on enemies that are still at full health.

pbz.gg and the Fextralife fan wiki both file it as a Ranged Phantom Edge, and pbz.gg lists it as Rare. The damage arrives at range, so it sits beside your main blade instead of replacing it; the Phantom Edges overview keeps it next to the other throwables.

What Are the Loong Trident Stats and Upgrade Costs?

The Loong Trident Phantom Blade Zero numbers come from pbz.gg: 195 damage and 175 Guard Break at level 1, 761 damage and 683 Guard Break at level 30, and 1,346 damage and 1,208 Guard Break at level 60. Each step costs Remnant Dust plus timber.

The sites label the same pair differently: the Fextralife fan wiki prints 195 and 175 in a block it says holds base level 30 values, while pbz.gg puts them at level 1.

How Do You Get the Loong Trident?

Spoilers: click to expand

The Loong Trident drops in Meigu Lake, which PowerPyx counts as the sixth region of the campaign, so the fight lands well past the opening areas. PowerPyx logs the weapon as collectible #40 there, one entry before the High-Power Pump tempering material at #41.

Reaching it takes a boat ride: head north from the Meigu Village East Dock bell, dock at the next island, and the Blackwater Crew Dock bell sits ahead on the left, with You Loong waiting past it. Region order sits on the walkthrough; named fights on the boss list.

  • Work through the campaign to Meigu Lake, the sixth region.
  • From the Meigu Village East Dock bell, take the boat north and dock at the next island.
  • Follow the path to the Blackwater Crew Dock bell and the arena beyond it.
  • Defeat You Loong and pick up the trident; the same fight drops the High-Power Pump.

How Do You Throw the Loong Trident?

Hold R2 to charge the throw and release to send the trident a long way; each throw costs one Remnant Spark. With Precision Throw tempered your hand glows while charging, and releasing on that glow greatly increases throw damage and Sha-Chi depletion.

Wet raises the damage enemies take from Lightning and Frost, so an elemental setup gets more from each hit, and Fextralife notes an advantage against enemies with fire weapons. Phantom Edge uses come back at Bells.

No Refuge Beneath covers hiding enemies: an R2 prompt appears over anything in water or snow, and pressing it forces them out with increased damage for another Remnant Spark. The trident also knocks down certain hanging objects at range, even unequipped; the combat guide covers Sha-Chi.

Which Loong Trident Upgrades Come First?

Take Precision Throw through Soul Tempering first, since it multiplies every throw, then Master of the Water at level 5 so enemies hiding in water or snow always come out Guard-Broken. Loong Fang Pierce Lv. 1 at level 10 only helps there.

The two movement skills land later: Loong Step · Forward at level 15 and Loong Step · Back at level 25, each a stick direction plus R1 followed by R2 for a quick throw. Soul Tempering costs 5,000 Remnant Dust and 1 Rules of the Blackwater Crew.

Frequently asked questions

Where do you get the Loong Trident Phantom Blade Zero Phantom Edge?
