scarlet wraithblade Phantom Blade Zero

What Is the Scarlet Wraithblade in Phantom Blade Zero?

The scarlet wraithblade Phantom Blade Zero drops is a two-handed Main Weapon, so it fills the heavy slot instead of a Phantom Edge. Game8 lists the subtype as Two-Handed, and the Fextralife wiki fan site calls it a two-handed blade with high damage and high Shield-breaking power.

How to Get Scarlet Wraithblade in Phantom Blade Zero?

Defeat Hua, Deadly Betrothed, at Flesh Lily Fields in Weeping Creek Valley. She sits northwest of Valley Sha-Chi Tower, and the Fextralife wiki fan site names the Flesh Lily Fields bell as the landmark, while the PC Gamer boss guide places her beneath Sha-Chi Tower itself. The kill hands over the blade.

Hua is optional. Game8 files her as a Puppets-type boss in Weeping Creek Valley, and both the PBZ Wiki and the Keengamer weapon roundup tie the Scarlet Wraithblade to that defeat. Read the Hua boss guide before you commit to the fight, and check the boss list to see where she sits next to the story bosses.

• Travel to Weeping Creek Valley and look for the ground beneath Valley Sha-Chi Tower.
• Use the Flesh Lily Fields bell, northwest of the tower, as the landmark for the arena.
• Defeat Hua, Deadly Betrothed, to trigger the weapon reward.
• Compare the drop with the rest of the weapon list before spending upgrade materials.

What Are the Scarlet Wraithblade Stats?

At level 1 the scarlet wraithblade Phantom Blade Zero lists 240 damage and 117 Guard Break on Game8, while the Fextralife wiki fan site quotes 936 damage and 457 Guard Break at level 30. Read the two lines together: the first is your starting profile, the second the far end of the upgrade path.

Keep the level attached to each number. The Fextralife wiki fan site states outright that its damage and Guard Break figures are level 30 values, so quoting 936 as a starting stat overstates the blade. For a second two-handed comparison the Juggernaut page covers the same weapon class, and the combat guide covers the Sha-Chi spending that both of them run on.

What Do the Red Spider Lilies Do?

Heavy Attack combos leave Red Spider Lilies on the ground. Enemies standing in them move slower and keep losing Sha-Chi, and after 3 seconds the flowers explode. The Rogue Bloomstorm Power Surge opens a whole field of lilies with one unblockable slash for 1 Sha-Chi Essence, which is the quickest way to start the effect.

The Sha-Chi Combo is two presses of the triangle button and can follow any swing during a Standard Combo; with enough Sha-Chi it becomes an enhanced attack with more damage and Guard Break, per the Fextralife wiki fan site. Game8 spells the Power Surge “Rouge Bloomstorm” and gives the same cost and the same unblockable slash.

Which Upgrades Should You Take First?

Nothing is wasted except Soul Tempering: Reforge Talismans reset regular upgrades and return the invested materials, while the Lingering Grudge route is irreversible. Hidden Thorns is the plain damage choice, Scarlet Field and Severed Vows build the flower field, and Netherlit Bloom adds a charged lily throw that ends in a teleport and a heavy slash.

Regular upgrades run through a blacksmith using Weapon Upgrade Materials, and the Fextralife wiki fan site notes the Forge is first found at the Mandate Outpost in Weeping Creek Valley. Soul Tempering sits outside that system: Game8 puts the Lingering Grudge entry at the Myst in Pengzhen once the feature opens, and says the change cannot be reversed. The soul skills page covers that route, and the builds page is where a field-control blade fits a loadout.

Is the Scarlet Wraithblade Worth Using?

Our take: the scarlet wraithblade Phantom Blade Zero hands you is a field weapon, not a duelist's blade. Its numbers are respectable rather than the point; the Red Spider Lilies are. Plant flowers with Heavy Attack combos or Rogue Bloomstorm, then spend the slowed window on a Sha-Chi Combo while the lilies drain and detonate.

Two limits matter before you invest. Soul Tempering cannot be undone, so the Lingering Grudge route locks in, while everything else resets with Reforge Talismans. And switching weapons fully restores Sha-Chi on a short cooldown, so a heavy blade like this one costs little to keep on hand for fights that reward area denial.
