Wolfjaw Phantom Blade Zero Stats and Effects

Wolfjaw is a spiked mace whose hits drain enemy health, and its listed starting values are 261 damage and 280 guard break. Its Destructive effect turns attacks into a source of HP recovery, so the edge can serve both as an offensive weapon and a way to restore health. Game8 lists the starting stats and life-draining effect for Wolfjaw.

Wolfjaw’s combat skill swings the mace to drain life and restore HP. The skill has no effect on Puppets, Golden Bodies, or Phantom Bodies, so its recovery effect is limited by the enemy type you are fighting. Those three exceptions are part of the skill’s stated behavior, not a change to its listed damage or guard break.

What Wolfjaw's Combat Skill Does

Wolfjaw’s life-draining skill restores HP by taking life from enemies it hits. That makes its main combat loop easy to understand: land attacks, drain enemy health, and recover your own HP. The skill does not affect Puppets, Golden Bodies, or Phantom Bodies, so those enemies do not provide the stated drain-and-recovery effect.

Game8 also describes Wolfjaw’s Soul Tempering skill as making attacks generate ghostfire. The ghostfire burns enemies and continuously reduces both their HP and Sha-Chi. That effect adds ongoing damage and Sha-Chi reduction to the edge’s listed life-draining role.

Our take on Wolfjaw Phantom Blade Zero

The Wolfjaw edge has a clear role in the listed details: it is a Destructive mace that drains enemy health, and its combat skill can turn that drain into HP recovery. Its 261 damage and 280 guard break give you two concrete starting values to compare with your other options, while the stated enemy exceptions tell you where the recovery effect will not apply.

The most useful way to think about Wolfjaw is to separate its basic hit effect from its skill description. The edge drains health when it hits, while the combat skill is described as restoring HP and the Soul Tempering effect adds ghostfire that reduces HP and Sha-Chi over time. The instructions for how to get Wolfjaw are also specific: reach Pangzhen during The Heart's Trail and defeat Wu Xuan near the Backstreet Archway Bell. More than 20 unique Phantom Edges appear in the game, according to the Steam store page.
