Get the Crescent Blade Phantom Blade Zero by defeating Yuding, No. 12 Crescent Blade Puppet, in Mirage Estate. It is a two-handed main weapon, and the IGN weapons page lists 312 damage and 118 Guard Break at level 1. The tables below keep every figure next to the site that reported it.

What Is the Crescent Blade Phantom Blade Zero?

Everything worth knowing before hunting Yuding sits on four lines: what the blade is, where the puppet stands, the level 1 numbers, and the Qinglong Form it unlocks. The level 30 values are in the stats table below, next to the site that published them.

What Are the Crescent Blade Phantom Blade Zero Stats?

The level 1 values are 312 damage and 118 Guard Break, and the TheGamer weapons article also gives the far end of the curve: 1,217 damage and 460 Guard Break at level 30. Read the two levels together: the blade scales hard, so its weakest stretch is the early game and its best numbers arrive late.

One listing disagrees on level 1 damage: the Fextralife wiki fan site states 288 instead of 312. The IGN weapons page, PBZ.gg fan site and TheGamer weapons article all report 312, and every listing here gives 118 Guard Break, which makes Guard Break the safer figure when you compare blades.

Where Do You Get the Crescent Blade?

Defeat Yuding, No. 12 Crescent Blade Puppet, in Mirage Estate. The Fextralife wiki fan site, IGN weapons page and PBZ.gg fan site all describe the Crescent Blade as the reward for that fight: the unlock is an enemy kill, not a stat threshold.

Location clues differ: All Things How puts the blade near the Training Grounds bell in Mirage Estate, while the Game8 guide names Pangzhen as the place to find Yuding. If the estate search fails, follow the chapter order in the walkthrough and check named puppets on the boss list.

  • Go to Mirage Estate.
  • Find Yuding, No. 12 Crescent Blade Puppet.
  • Defeat the puppet to take the blade.
  • Compare it with the rest of the roster on the full weapon list.

What Does the Crescent Blade Do?

The blade's payoff is Qinglong Form. The TheGamer weapons article says the weapon blesses Soul with Qinglong Form, that the form grants the Qinglong Cleave ability, and that Qinglong Cleave can one-hit KO weaker enemies. The cleave ends the form when used, so keep it as a group finisher.

For the resource behind it, the combat guide covers Sha-Chi spending, and the best builds page shows where a form-gated finisher fits a loadout.

Which Skills Build Qinglong Form?

Game8 and the Fextralife fan wiki list these skills. The table keeps each one close to their wording, names the source per row, and notes the unlock level where Fextralife gives one. A dash in that column means the source does not list an entry, so the skill may still exist without a stated level.

Qinglong Form is the thread that ties these together: Crescent Storm grants it at full charge, Sundering Stroke when you switch to the weapon or parry a Blue-flash Attack, Warm-Wine Qinglong Cleave after the attack, and Formless Qinglong after a Qinglong Cleave kill.

Is the Crescent Blade Phantom Blade Zero Worth It?

Our take: the acquisition detail is the one worth trusting, since the weapon listings name Yuding, No. 12 Crescent Blade Puppet, in Mirage Estate and treat that defeat as the way to get the blade. All Things How adds the Training Grounds bell, Game8 puts Yuding in Pangzhen, so either direction lands you on the fight.

Quote 118 Guard Break with confidence and name the site you mean for level 1 damage, since 288 and 312 both appear. Use 1,217 damage and 460 Guard Break when you weigh it against endgame weapons.
