Weapons Catalog

Dual Blade Loadout

Equip 2 primary weapons (blades) and swap mid-combo to extend your attack strings. Each blade brings its own moveset and a unique Power Surge ultimate ability. You can carry any combination: two fast blades, two heavy hitters, or one of each.

Phantom Edge Slots

2 secondary weapon slots for Phantom Edges (影之武装): limited-ammo tactical tools including cannons, lances, axes, hammers, flamethrowers, bows, throwing blades, and more. Each has a single purpose and uses shared ammo that refills at checkpoints.

Phantom Edge System

20+ equippable special abilities: called Phantom Edges (影之武装): that provide tactical advantages. Confirmed examples include Flaming Head (flamethrower), Tiger Cannon (burst), Bow/Night Owl (ranged), Mancutter (axe), Bashpole (sledgehammer), Ink Cut (round trip blade), and Blood-drinking Tooth (bleed).

No Quality Tiers

There are no common/uncommon/rare/legendary weapon tiers. Every weapon you find is viable. Your choice comes down to moveset preference and how it complements your second weapon.

Combo Synergy

Swap weapons mid-combo seamlessly. A longsword into ring blade swap extends your attack window and adds new combo branches. The more you experiment, the more options you unlock.

Playstyle Freedom

Want to be a nimble duelist? Equip two fast weapons. Prefer overwhelming force? A greatsword in one slot and a Shadow Weapon axe in reserve. The system rewards creativity.

Longsword 长剑

The balanced all-rounder. Longswords offer reliable damage, decent speed, and versatile combo strings. The ideal primary weapon for learning the game's combat flow. Examples from previews include Sanguine Reach, Juggernaut, and Jagged Edge.

• Speed Medium
• Reach Medium
• Damage Balanced
• Difficulty (Easy)

Ring Blades / smooth Death 环刃

Dual circular blades that transform your dodge into a shadow step. As a secondary weapon, these provide incredible mobility and combo extension. Favors speed and evasion over raw power. The smooth Death variant is the most well-known example.

• Speed Fast
• Reach Short-Medium
• Damage Low-Moderate
• Mobility (Excellent)

Greatsword 大刀

Massive blades that trade attack speed for devastating damage per hit. Greatswords excel at staggering enemies and breaking their Shà-qì gauge. Use them to dominate aggressive foes. Knocks enemies back with every hit.

• Speed Slow
• Reach Long
• Damage High
• Shà-qì Break (Strong)

Flexible Sword 软剑

A whiplike blade with unique reach properties and unconventional attack angles. Flexible swords can hit around guards and target enemies at unexpected ranges. The Soft Snake is a notable example of this type. Requires practice to master.

• Speed Variable
• Reach Adaptive
• Damage Moderate
• Difficulty (Advanced)

Dual Swords 双刃

Paired blades wielded simultaneously for rapid multi-hit chains. Dual swords excel at building combo momentum and applying pressure through sheer attack volume. Examples include Sanguine Twin and White Serpent & Crimson Viper.

• Speed Fast
• Reach Short
• Damage Low per hit, high total
• Combo Potential (Excellent)

Dual Phantom Edge Slots

Equip any 2 Phantom Edges from your collection. Ammo is shared between both equipped Edges, with a fixed capacity (10 in recent builds, up to 120 seen in earlier prototypes). Use them strategically: once ammo runs out, you must reach a checkpoint to refill.

Cinematic Deployment

Phantom Edges are called out mid-combo via R2/RT for cinematic transitions. They don't interrupt your flow: they extend it. A well-timed Edge call can interrupt enemy attack wind-ups, creating openings where none existed.

Over 20 Confirmed Types

Confirmed Phantom Edges include: Flaming Head (flamethrower), Tiger Cannon (burst), Night Owl (bow), Mancutter (axe), Bashpole (sledgehammer), Ink Cut (round trip blade), Blood-drinking Tooth (bleed), and Giant Fierce Axe (guard break). More expected at launch.

Ammo Management Strategy

Because ammo is shared and limited, you can't spam Phantom Edges. Choose your pair wisely based on the enemies ahead. A guard-breaking axe + a ranged bow covers most situations, while a Flaming Head + Tiger Cannon loadout sacrifices utility for raw damage output.

Night Owl (Bow) 弓箭

Standard ranged option. Pick off distant enemies, initiate fights on your terms, and safely damage foes before closing in. A reliable all-purpose Phantom Edge for any loadout.

Mancutter / Giant Axe 巨凶斧

Focuses on guard-breaking and heavy single-target damage. Use this against shielded enemies or bosses with high Shà-qì: one well-placed swing can turn the fight. The Mancutter variant is an axe, while the Giant Fierce Axe is a heavier version.

Flaming Head / Lion Head 烈焰狮头

Unleashes a devastating cone of flames. Excellent for crowd control, clearing tight groups, and applying pressure. A high-damage option with limited uses: make every shot count. The base variant is a flamethrower; the Lion Head variant may trade raw area for a different tactical effect.

Tiger Cannon 虎炮

A heavy single-target burst weapon that fires a powerful projectile dealing immense damage to a single enemy. Best reserved for bosses and elite enemies where its high damage-per-ammo ratio shines.

Bashpole 碎岩锤

A massive sledgehammer designed for staggering and knockback. Bashpole excels at interrupting enemy attack animations and creating space. Its impact damage is devastating against armored foes.

Ink Cut 墨切

A round-trip throwing blade that returns to its owner like a boomerang. Ink Cut provides mid-range pressure and can hit multiple enemies in a line. Excellent for chipping away at groups before closing in with your main blade.

Blood-drinking Tooth 血滴子

A thrown weapon that inflicts bleed damage over time. Perfect for hit-and-run tactics: tag an enemy and let the bleed work while you focus on other threats. Strong vs. high-HP enemies and bosses.

Balanced Starter

Primary: Longsword
Secondary: Longsword (different moveset)

Two longswords give you a solid foundation to learn enemy patterns, practice weapon swapping, and experiment with combo strings without overcomplicating your loadout.

Speed & Mobility

Primary: smooth Death Blades
Secondary: Longsword

Ring blades for dodge-shadow-step mobility, longsword for when you need more reach and damage. A great combo for aggressive, hit-and-run players.

Heavy Hitter

Primary: Greatsword
Secondary: Longsword or Ring Blades

Greatsword for devastating combos and Shà-qì break, fast secondary to swap into when you need mobility. Pair with the Mancutter Phantom Edge for double guard break.
