Outlaw Warblade Phantom Blade Zero

By the Blade Zero Wiki editors

Updated

The Outlaw Warblade Phantom Blade Zero players get from Jing Ye sits in Crimson Forest: beat the boss during Snake’s Reflection and the two-handed weapon is yours, with 240 damage and 106 Guard Break at level 1. The Fextralife wiki and Game8 both list those starting figures.

What Is the Outlaw Warblade in Phantom Blade Zero?

The Outlaw Warblade is a two-handed main weapon, and its level-one numbers are already strong for the class: 240 damage and 106 Guard Break. The Fextralife wiki sums it up as a two-handed weapon with high Shield-breaking power and high damage, and Game8 lists the same 240 and 106 as starting values.

Both Outlaw Warblade Phantom Blade Zero listings agree on the weapon category, which matters more than it sounds: a two-hander changes how you spend Sha-Chi and how long each swing locks you in place. Everything else on this page — where the blade comes from, what it drains, and which skills unlock on the way up — hangs off that two-handed classification.

Two-handed main weaponA reward for defeating Jing Ye, the Outlaw, in Crimson Forest during the chapter Snake’s Reflection240 damage and 106 Guard Break at level 1Standard hits drain life and restore HP; Sha-Chi attacks convert HP into Recoverable HP

Where Is the Outlaw Warblade Location?

The Outlaw Warblade location is Crimson Forest, and the weapon comes from one fight: defeating Jing Ye, the Outlaw. Game8 puts the kill in the chapter Snake’s Reflection and tags Jing Ye as a Maskwalker, while the Fextralife wiki lists Crimson Forest as the location and the Jing Ye kill as the way it is acquired.

The PBZ.gg fan site and All Things How describe the same reward line, so the unlock is an enemy kill rather than a shop purchase or a chest. The yzr0guide weapon list adds a landmark: it places the drop near the Outlaw Trap bell in Crimson Forest, which narrows the search inside the region.

The Jing Ye boss page covers the fight itself, and the walkthrough shows where Snake’s Reflection sits in the chapter order if you have not reached the forest yet.

  • Reach Crimson Forest in the chapter Snake’s Reflection.
  • Track down Jing Ye, the Outlaw, and start the fight.
  • Win, and the Outlaw Warblade is added to your weapons.
  • Check the weapon list to see it next to the other two-handers.

What Are the Outlaw Warblade Stats?

The Outlaw Warblade Phantom Blade Zero stats at level one are 240 damage and 106 Guard Break, and both numbers are starting values rather than an endgame total. The Fextralife wiki and Game8 agree on 240 and 106, so quote those two figures with confidence; every other number below comes from a level gate or a skill description.

Two more figures sit outside the stat line but shape the weapon: Soul Tempering unlocks in Chapter 4, and the Ruthless Outlaw effect raises damage by up to 25% the longer you hold Recoverable HP. Read them as the ceiling the blade grows into rather than something you have on the first fight.

How Do the Outlaw Warblade Combos Work?

Every hit in the standard combo drains life from the target and restores your HP, and the healing climbs while Soul still holds Recoverable HP. That drain does not apply to Puppets, Golden Bodies or Phantom Bodies, so the blade is a duel and mob tool rather than a universal answer.

The Sha-Chi combo is two heavy attacks that can follow any swing in the standard string. With enough Sha-Chi it turns into an enhanced attack with more damage and Guard Break, and it converts your own HP into Recoverable HP, which is why the 12-second window in the table above matters: heal before it lapses or the pool disappears.

Two named moves finish the set. Fextralife calls the light-attack follow-up Repeating Retreat and Game8 calls it Reaping Retreat, but both describe a retreating slash that drains life and returns more HP when Recoverable HP is still banked. The Power Surge, Bloodthirst Frenzy, spends 1 Sha-Chi Essence to pin an enemy and drain its blood, and it cannot be blocked. For input timing and the parry basics behind these strings, the combat guide covers the same controls.

How Do You Upgrade the Outlaw Warblade?

Upgrade it at a blacksmith with weapon upgrade materials: each level raises the damage and Guard Break, and the set skills unlock at levels 10, 15 and 25. Game8 also notes Reforge Talismans, which reset a weapon’s upgrades and hand back the invested materials if you would rather build something else.

Soul Tempering is the second track and it runs through Myst in Pengzhen once the feature opens in Chapter 4. It needs a weapon-specific material, the Six Paths Warrant, plus Remnant Dust, and Game8 warns that the process is irreversible, so decide on the Outlaw Warblade before you spend either. Because the material is weapon-specific, the items overview is the place to check what else competes for it.

Is the Outlaw Warblade Worth Using?

Our take on the Outlaw Warblade Phantom Blade Zero blade: it is worth it if you like trading hits. The two numbers to trust are 240 damage and 106 Guard Break at level 1, and the effects around them all push one direction — spend HP, then win it back. Nothing here asks you to learn a second meter.

Compare it on paper before you commit upgrade materials. If you want a weapon whose payoff is a transformation rather than a drain loop, the Crescent Blade page covers Qinglong Form, and the best builds page shows where a two-hander that heals itself fits a loadout. The rest of the weapons list shows how it lines up against the other two-handers.

Frequently asked questions

Where do you get the Outlaw Warblade in Phantom Blade Zero?

Defeat Jing Ye, the Outlaw, in Crimson Forest and the Outlaw Warblade is awarded for the win. Game8 places the fight in the chapter Snake’s Reflection, and the yzr0guide weapon list puts the drop near the Outlaw Trap bell.

How do you get the Outlaw Warblade Phantom Blade Zero weapon?

Reach Crimson Forest in Snake’s Reflection, find Jing Ye, the Outlaw, and win the fight. The weapon is a boss reward rather than a shop item, so there is no purchase or chest to look for.

What are the Outlaw Warblade stats at level one?

At level one the blade has 240 damage and 106 Guard Break. The Fextralife wiki and Game8 give the same pair, which is why they are the two figures to quote.

Where is the Outlaw Warblade Phantom Blade Zero location on the map?

Crimson Forest, in the chapter Snake’s Reflection. The yzr0guide weapon list narrows it further to the area around the Outlaw Trap bell.

Does the Outlaw Warblade heal you?

Yes, its standard combo drains life and restores HP, and the Sha-Chi combo turns HP into Recoverable HP. The drain does not work on Puppets, Golden Bodies or Phantom Bodies, so those enemies ignore the weapon’s main selling point.

Which levels unlock the Outlaw Warblade skills?

Skill unlocks for the Outlaw Warblade Phantom Blade Zero weapon come in three steps: Unstoppable Lv. 1 at level 10, Survival Shield at level 15 and Blood Arrow at level 25. Survival Shield triggers at 30% of max HP, gives Emergency Shield for 10 seconds, and then locks out for 60 seconds.

Can you undo Outlaw Warblade upgrades?

Regular blacksmith upgrades can be reset with Reforge Talismans, which also return the materials you invested. Soul Tempering is the exception: Game8 describes it as irreversible, and it costs a Six Paths Warrant plus Remnant Dust once it opens in Chapter 4.
