Tiger Cannon Phantom Blade Zero: Stats and Effects

The Tiger Cannon is a Destructive Phantom Edge with a starting Damage of 310 and starting Status Effects of 208. Game8 gives both as starting values, and Fextralife gives the damage at base level 1. Its core attack is a charged shell: hold the Phantom Edge button (R2 in Fextralife's listing) to charge it up to three stages, then release to fire, with higher stages dealing more damage. Each shot consumes one Remnant Spark.

The table lists every entry the two wiki guides give for this weapon, from the stats to the upgrades. The level column uses Fextralife's upgrade levels; a dash means that entry has no level in the guides.

How to get Tiger Cannon at Mirage Estate

You get the tiger cannon Phantom Blade Zero by defeating Lei Dang near the Perfect Vessel Pond Bell in Mirage Estate, in the Pangzhen region. Game8 gives Lei Dang's location as Pangzhen, GameRant calls the fight a two-phase boss battle, and an unofficial fan site, Phantom Blade Zero DB, gives the bell as the drop point.

GameRant says the unlock comes late. The Mirage Estate section of Pangzhen opens only during one of the final main story quests, while the first rock wall that needs the cannon sits in the first region. Once you have it, you can fast travel back to earlier regions and use the cannon on the blocked paths there.

  • Reach Mirage Estate in Pangzhen, which opens during one of the final main story quests.
  • Go to the Perfect Vessel Pond Bell.
  • Defeat Lei Dang, the Tiger Cannon boss, near the bell.
  • Receive the Tiger Cannon Phantom Edge as the reward.

Using the cannon in combat and on paths

For fights, the cannon is a ranged tool. Phantom Blade Zero DB describes a single blast that breaks up distant enemy formations, and GameRant calls it a high-damage weapon, especially once Soul Tempering is unlocked. Game8 notes that Soul Tempering is irreversible, so make sure you want this Phantom Edge before you go ahead.

Outside combat, the cannon opens routes. Fextralife and Game8 both say it can shatter weakened stone walls even when it is not equipped, and Fextralife adds that it can ignite explosive objects and shatter Frozen enemies, except elite enemies.

Our take on the Tiger Cannon

Our take: the Tiger Cannon is worth chasing if you want reach and route access more than raw melee. Its listed effects cover charged shells, explosive objects, frozen enemies and stone walls, and the wall-breaking use stays available when the cannon is not equipped.

Plan around the late unlock. GameRant places it very late in the game, and Steam lists the game as released on 28 October 2026. For the rest of the Phantom Edge list, the KungFuPunk weapons page, from an unofficial fan guide, covers all 56 weapons in the launch game, 26 of them Phantom Edges.
