Tianxuan Bronze Sword Phantom Blade Zero

What Is the Tianxuan Bronze Sword Phantom Blade Zero?

The Tianxuan Bronze Sword is a one-handed main weapon that trades parrying for cheaper blocking: damage starts at 240 and Guard Break at 106, and its Natural Order skill cuts the Sha-Chi spent on blocks. Both fan wikis that list the blade print the same two starting numbers, and every other figure arrives through upgrades.

The blade belongs to the Tianxuan Sect and rewards one specific story fight, so nothing about it depends on a random roll: reach the arena in the Village of Lu, win, and it is in your weapon list. The locations overview keeps the Village of Lu next to the rest of the regions, and the weapon list shows what else the game hands out for boss kills.

How to Get the Tianxuan Bronze Sword?

Beat Master Bi Yuan in the Village of Lu and the sword is yours, with no shop and no drop chance in the way. The Game8 guide files the fight under the Heartless Remnant chapter, All Things How sets it in the Statue Grounds arena, and the route below is the one the walkthrough writers give for reaching him.

The Phantom Blade Zero Help weapon guide spells the waypoints out: leave the Well of Three Puppets heading for the Grand Covered Bridge, ring the Statue Grounds bell before stepping into the grounds, then walk into the arena. Game8 also labels Bi Yuan as a Masters-type boss, which puts him in the same class as the duelists on the boss list rather than the giant set pieces. If the chapter numbering gets confusing, the walkthrough runs the chapters in order.

• Start at the Well of Three Puppets.
• Follow the path toward the Grand Covered Bridge.
• Ring the Statue Grounds bell before entering the grounds.
• Enter the arena and defeat Master Bi Yuan.
• Equip the sword from the weapon menu once the fight ends.

What Are the Tianxuan Bronze Sword Stats?

Base damage is 240 and base Guard Break is 106, both at level 1, and both Fextralife and Game8 print those same two numbers. Everything else the blade adds arrives through upgrades: reaching levels 5, 10, 15 and 25 unlocks one combat technique each, so the table tracks what the levels actually buy.

Fextralife lists the moveset that ships with the Tianxuan Bronze Sword Phantom Blade Zero: a four-hit Standard Combo that turns into ranged attacks while Soul is Tipsy or Drunk, a three-hit Sha-Chi Combo, the unique Natural Order skill, and Greatness Without Form on the Power Surge button. Calm Mind Lv. 2 and Lv. 3 appear in Game8's skill list without a level of their own, so the table stops where the printed levels stop.

Does the Tianxuan Bronze Sword Phantom Blade Zero Let You Parry?

No. The blade keeps blocking and removes parrying: Natural Order lowers the Sha-Chi cost of every block, so you can hold guard far longer, but the parry window is gone while it is equipped. Calm Mind Lv. 1 to Lv. 3 stacks on top of that by shrinking block costs even further.

That swap is the whole decision. Guarding is the safe option for a player who reads enemy wind-ups late, while parrying stays the better payoff for anyone who already counters blue-flash attacks on reflex; the combat guide covers both inputs and their timing windows. A loadout built around Sha-Chi sustain gets the most out of the cheaper block, and the builds page shows where a defensive slot like this fits.

Soul Tempering pushes the same idea further. Effortless Action lets you hold the Power Surge button to block even while Guard-Broken, at the cost of a small amount of HP, and Game8 notes the enhancement is irreversible and needs Bronze Essence plus Remnant Dust at Myst in Pengzhen once Chapter 4 unlocks the feature. Reforge Talismans reset weapon upgrades and hand the invested materials back, so an early upgrade is not a permanent commitment.

Is the Tianxuan Bronze Sword Worth Using?

Our take: the blade is worth the detour if you defend by holding guard, and skippable if your fights are built on parry counters. The location is as simple as weapon unlocks get, since one boss stands between you and it, and the 240 damage and 106 Guard Break are ordinary numbers rather than a standout.

What makes it interesting is the trade it forces, not the stats. Cheaper blocking plus a skill line that keeps cutting block costs turns the sword into a guard-first tool, and the parry lockout is the price. Take it if you want to hold your ground and break shields instead of fishing for perfect parries; leave it in the box if your damage plan starts with a parry.

For anyone still weighing it, the short version is that the Tianxuan Bronze Sword Phantom Blade Zero buys defence with a lost parry, and that the fight in the Village of Lu is the only way to own it.
