What S-GAME has confirmed

Phantom Blade Zero's confirmed combat structure lets Soul equip two main weapons and two Phantom Edges. Official descriptions also name parrying, dodging, deflecting, countering, and combo-based attacks.

The confirmed loadout

  • Main weapons: the official trailer description says the arsenal includes melee and ranged options.
  • Phantom Edges: unique weapons found in the Phantom World and described as supporting more specialized, high-impact attacks.
  • Defence: S-GAME has confirmed reactive parrying and dodging; Steam also names deflect and counter actions.

What that does not confirm

No official source currently provides parry-frame timings, controller mappings, stamina rules, damage values, final skill trees, or a best-build recommendation. This is an official-information explainer, not a tested combat guide.
