Tiger Cannon Phantom Blade Zero: Location, Effects, and Stats

By the Blade Zero Wiki editors

Updated

Get the Tiger Cannon Phantom Blade Zero by beating Lei Dang in Mirage Estate, then charge it up to three stages and fire a shell that breaks stone walls. It is a Destructive Phantom Edge with 310 damage and 208 status effects at level 1, and the wall shot keeps working while the cannon sits unequipped.

What Is the Tiger Cannon Phantom Blade Zero?

Four things matter before you chase the cannon: what kind of Phantom Edge the Tiger Cannon is, how you get it, its level 1 numbers, and what Soul Tempering costs. Each of those gets one cell in the table below, and the level-by-level figures sit in the stats table after it.

The resource line matters more than the rarity line: every charged shot spends one Remnant Spark. The Phantom Edge hub shows how the cannon compares with the other edges, and the combat guide explains what a Remnant Spark buys you mid-fight.

What Are the Tiger Cannon Phantom Blade Zero Stats?

The cannon starts at 310 damage and 208 status effects, and after the first step each five levels adds 155 damage and 104 status effects. The pbz.gg ladder ends at 2,139 damage and 1,435 status effects at level 60, and every step is paid for with Remnant Dust and Darkfire Charcoal.

Unlock levels match the Fextralife fan wiki: Tiger Step at 5, Spreading Blaze Lv. 1 at 10, Double Roar at 15 and Tooth for Tooth at 25, with Spreading Blaze Lv. 2 and Lv. 3 arriving at 20 and 30.

Where Do You Get the Tiger Cannon?

You get it by beating Lei Dang at the Perfect Vessel Pond bell in Mirage Estate, Pangzhen, and pbz.gg places that fight during The Way Forward. The bell is the nearest fast-travel point, so the run is one boss fight plus a short walk.

One marker is worth noting before the trip: the Phantom Blade Zero DB page says the Crimson Forest map flags a spot that needs the cannon, northeast near the Cliffside Lodge bell, and the marker turns green once you own the edge. Return there after Mirage Estate.

  • Head to Mirage Estate in Pangzhen; the walkthrough keeps the chapter order for the road in.
  • Travel to the Perfect Vessel Pond bell.
  • Defeat Lei Dang and take the Tiger Cannon from the fight.
  • Read the boss hub first if you want the fight's cues in advance.
  • Set off for the marked stone walls and fire.

How Do You Fight With the Cannon and Break Walls?

The cannon plays as a ranged tool: hold the Phantom Edge button to charge up to three stages, release to fire a shell, and each shot spends one Remnant Spark. Higher charge stages deal more damage, so a fully charged shot suits opening a fight or clearing a group before it closes on Soul.

Firearm is the passive that does the work outside raw damage: it ignites explosive objects and shatters Frozen enemies, elites excepted, and the Fextralife fan wiki notes it is effective against enemy shields. GameRant treats the cannon as both a wall breaker and a high-damage weapon.

Two unlocks change the rhythm. Double Roar ends a Tiger Cannon attack with a Full-Power Strike straight ahead, with no Remnant Spark spent, while Tooth for Tooth counters a close red-flash or blue-flash attack on a timed press for one spark. Spreading Blaze then leaves flames on the ground after each explosion, and its later ranks raise that flame damage.

Soul Tempering adds a separate layer: pbz.gg lists 5,000 Remnant Dust and 1 Golden Ammunition for it, and Fextralife lists Soul Temper: Full Blast, which launches the cannon itself forward for massive damage at 2 Remnant Sparks.

Is the Tiger Cannon Worth the Upgrade?

Our take: yes, if you want route access more than another melee finisher. The wall shot works while the cannon is unequipped, the charged shell covers distance, and the ladder climbs to 2,139 damage, so the late pickup still has the whole backlog of blocked routes waiting for it.

Steam describes Phantom Blade Zero as carrying more than 20 unique Phantom Edges, and the KungFuPunk weapons page counts 56 weapons in the launch game, 26 of them Phantom Edges. For a melee answer instead, the weapon hub covers the main-hand list, and the builds page shows where a ranged edge fits a loadout.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the Tiger Cannon Phantom Blade Zero location?

The cannon drops from Lei Dang at the Perfect Vessel Pond bell in Mirage Estate, Pangzhen. That bell is also the nearest fast-travel point, so the arena is a short walk from it.

What are the Tiger Cannon Phantom Blade Zero stats?

It starts at 310 damage and 208 status effects and reaches 2,139 and 1,435 at level 60 on the pbz.gg ladder. Each five-level step after the first adds 155 damage and 104 status effects.

How many charge stages does the Tiger Cannon have?

Three. Hold the Phantom Edge button to build the charge, then release it to fire a shell, and higher stages deal more damage. Every shot spends one Remnant Spark.

Can the Tiger Cannon break walls while it is unequipped?

Yes. Stone-Clearing Shot keeps shattering weakened stone walls once the cannon is obtained, even while it sits unequipped. That is what makes it useful for blocked routes.

What does Soul Tempering the Tiger Cannon cost?

pbz.gg lists 5,000 Remnant Dust and 1 Golden Ammunition for Soul Tempering. That price is separate from the blacksmith upgrades, which pay in Remnant Dust and Darkfire Charcoal every five levels.

Is the Tiger Cannon good against groups?

Yes, that is the role the guides give it: a single blast that breaks up a distant enemy formation. It also detonates self-destructing enemies at range before they reach Soul.
