Phantom Blade Zero Deadly Hook: The Heroic Hook Phantom

Phantom Blade Zero Deadly Hook: What This Phantom Is

The wiki identifies Deadly Hook as a Heroic Phantom. Its rarity is 3, its flame is 3, and its base stat bonus is DMG Dealt +4.3%. Phantoms are memories and echoes of Kung Fu masters distilled into tangible objects, and the masters behind them may be dead or still living. A person's own moves can exist as a Phantom even when the projected moves differ from the known moves. This entry follows that companion framing: it is a summon profile, not a weapon or a boss page.

The page key reads Deadly Hook | Grappling Hook, which ties the Phantom name to its listed synced skill. Use the Phantoms index for the wider companion list and keep this page for the specific entry. The page does not describe a lore scene, a quest, or a story role beyond the general Phantom concept and the verified combat fields.

Stats and Synced Skill: Grappling Hook

For Deadly Hook, Grappling Hook is the synced skill. It unleashes three hooks that drag enemies within a certain range to the front and deal variable damage. The listed rank values are 50 at rank 1, 60 at rank 2, and 70 at rank 3. The wiki does not state cooldown, exact range, or a separate target cap beyond the phrase 'within a certain range.'

Deadly Hook has no documented passive. The passive field and all passive rank values are blank, so the entry does not grant or describe a passive effect. Flame 3 is only listed as the flame value; the entry does not explain what flame 3 means for Deadly Hook beyond that number. A table keeps the verified values together.

Loyal Guardian Set and Combo Chain Synergy

Equip Deadly Hook when a player wants a DMG Dealt +4.3% bonus, a hook skill that pulls enemies to the front, and access to Loyal Guardian summon text while running Hammer Smash! on Combo Chains. The wiki does not rank it against higher-rarity Phantoms, so a rarity comparison alone does not settle whether it is worth using. A supported recommendation is narrower: use it if those three effects fit the current setup; skip it if the build does not need a pull, the damage bonus, or the Loyal Guardian chain.

At 2 Evolved Flames, the Loyal Defender line randomly summons two elites once per stage, and those elites cannot be revived. At 4 Evolved Flames, the Intrepid Defender line summons two random elite enemy units as guards with a 30% DMG bonus once per stage; fallen guards cannot be revived. Set names are written here as plain text, and no separate set hub is implied.

The value of this entry is the combination: a DMG Dealt bonus, a pulling synced skill, and elite summons that need the Combo Chain condition. The set text does not explain whether the summoned units use their own stats or whether the 30% bonus applies only to their attacks, so those details remain outside the verified page.

The phantom set is Loyal Guardian. The partner named in the set condition is Hammer Smash!: Loyal Guardian triggers only when Deadly Hook and Hammer Smash! are on Combo Chains at the same time. The entry does not name any other Loyal Guardian partner.

When to Equip Phantom Blade Zero Deadly Hook

Acquisition is the main gap for Deadly Hook. The wiki Availability section is empty, so the entry documents no way to get or unlock Deadly Hook. There are no drop rates, unlock steps, or quest requirements to quote.

Do not treat this page as a tier list, and do not infer drop rates or unlock steps from the equip guidance. The Phantoms index is the only internal link needed for browsing other companions. For this page, the practical check is simple: the player needs the hook pull and the set trigger, or the player can leave it for a companion whose verified effects better match the current Combo Chain plan.

Acquisition, Unverified Details, and Wiki Gaps

Acquisition is the main gap. The wiki Availability section is empty and does not document how to obtain Deadly Hook. There are no drop rates, unlock steps, or quest requirements in the entry to quote.

Deadly Hook is not documented as the same as Parting Hook or Peerless Hook. It is also not documented as the hook attack that drags Soul into a finisher in The Hunt boss fight; Deadly Hook is listed as a Heroic Phantom with the Grappling Hook synced skill. This Phantom Blade Zero Deadly Hook is not documented as the same as the Deadly Hook in Phantom Blade: Executioners. Questions about Guard Stance, red attacks and hook grabs, guard break, blue bars, fast travel, weapon range complaints, and counter complaints remain unverified, as does acquisition.

These are honest gaps, not missing instructions that can be filled in from the page. The same applies to any claim about availability windows, farming routes, or event sources. If a player needs a confirmed acquisition method, the wiki entry does not provide one.

Combat Role and Honest Gaps

On the page data, Phantom Blade Zero Deadly Hook is a pull-and-setup companion rather than a passive-stat stick. The Grappling Hook synced skill groups enemies to the front, while Loyal Guardian adds elite summons when Hammer Smash! is also on Combo Chains. The passive field is blank, so there is no passive effect to describe.

Questions about Parting Hooks, Guard Stance, red attacks and hook grabs, guard break, blue bars, fast travel, weapon range complaints, and counter complaints are not answered by the entry; they remain unverified. The same applies to the meaning of flame 3 and to acquisition. The FAQ below gives the direct answers that the page can support.
