Phantom Blade Zero Deus Ex: Epic Phantom Entry

Phantom Blade Zero Deus Ex: Phantom Overview

Deus Ex is an in-game Epic Phantom, not a crossover or reference to the Deus Ex franchise. The game page treats the name as the Phantom's own title and does not link the unit to that series. Phantoms are special items that sync with Skills and grant bonuses based on rarity and set membership. The lore describes them as memories and echoes of Kung Fu masters that permeate the ParaWulin, distilled by illusionists into tangible objects so their techniques can be learned.

The masters behind Phantoms may be long dead or still living, and a person's own moves can even exist as a Phantom. That detail shapes how the Deus Ex entry reads: it is a record of techniques and echoes, not a conventional weapon with a normal stat profile. For Deus Ex, the record is a rarity 4, flame 4 Phantom with an ATK +11 base bonus and a Pulse set tag.

Deus Ex Stats and Effects: Rarity 4, Flame 4, ATK +11, Rumbling Wheels Perk, Mechanic Will Passive, Pulse Set

Deus Ex is a rarity 4 Phantom with flame 4 and a base ATK bonus of +11. Rumbling Wheels makes synced skills summon a machine chariot whose power scales with the perk's level. Mechanic Will grants increased damage while the Chariot is present; its rank variable values are 15, 30, and 45. The wiki does not explain the duration, cooldown, or summon frequency for the chariot, so those details are recorded as unverified rather than assumed.

Deus Ex belongs to the Pulse Phantom set. Pulse is written as plain text here because the page only supports links to Phantoms or this entry. The documented set payoff appears in the Combo Chains interaction with Past Master, not in a separate stat line on this Phantom.

For the Phantom Blade Zero Deus Ex entry, the perk and passive pair matters more in practice than the rarity or flame number. Rumbling Wheels creates the machine chariot, and Mechanic Will adds +15%, +30%, or +45% DMG while that chariot is present, so the documented payoff depends on keeping the synced-skill loop active. Rarity 4 and flame 4 are labels on this Phantom; no source ranks flame numbers or says rarity alone makes one Phantom stronger. Flame number still matters where Pulse set thresholds use Evolved Flames, because 2 and 4 Evolved Flames change the lightning trigger to every 5th and every 4th skill hit. That makes the perk/passive synergy the main practical factor, with flame value relevant only at documented set breakpoints and rarity left without a documented power order.

When to Equip This Phantom

Equip Phantom Blade Zero Deus Ex when a build leans on synced skills and can keep the summoned machine chariot active long enough for Mechanic Will damage to matter. If your plan rarely presses Skills or cannot sustain the chariot, the passive has little to do. If your plan already uses Combo Chains and Pulse thresholds, this Phantom can support the every-6th, every-5th, or every-4th-hit lightning pattern described below.

For a direct recommendation grounded in the documented effects, use Deus Ex when the synced-skill package is the core of the build, not as a generic stat stick. The wiki does not settle whether it beats other rarity-4 or rarity-5 options, so the honest comparison is that this entry offers a chariot-based damage loop and Pulse synergy while other Phantoms would need their own documented entries.

Synced-Skill and Set Synergy

With Deus Ex and Past Master on Combo Chains, every 6th hit of your skills electrocutes all enemy targets on screen with a lightning bolt for 240% ATK damage. At 2 Evolved Flames, the Pulse set triggers the same lightning bolt on every 5th skill hit for 240% ATK; at 4 Evolved Flames, it triggers on every 4th skill hit for 240% ATK. Pulse is the set this Phantom belongs to, and Past Master is the other Phantom named in the documented Combo Chains lightning effect.

The Phantom Blade Zero Deus Ex synergy is specific: the lightning text is tied to Deus Ex plus Past Master on Combo Chains, while Rumbling Wheels and Mechanic Will describe the chariot package on this Phantom. The page does not list a full Pulse roster beyond this membership, so do not assume other set members from this entry alone.

Acquisition and Unverified Details

The wiki does not document how to obtain this Phantom. It gives no drop location, unlock step, vendor, quest, or drop rate, so none should be invented. Any acquisition detail beyond the existence of the entry belongs in unverified notes, not in a walkthrough.

For the count question, this entry does not give a total number of Phantoms and does not confirm a 68-Phantom list, so no full list of 68 can be shown here; use Phantoms for the available index. For Phantom Blade: Executioners, no source says this Deus Ex is the same as that version or what tier it has there. For New Game+, the entry does not state whether Phantoms carry over to New Game+; treat carryover as undocumented.
