What Phantom Blade Zero In a Wheel Is
By the Blade Zero Wiki editors
Updated
Phantom Blade Zero In a Wheel is an Epic Phantom in the Phantoms summon-companion system. For clarity, Phantom Blade Zero In a Wheel is the companion entry, not a wheel skill. The record on this Phantom page lists rarity 4, flame 4, base ATK +11, the Cannon Art synced-skill perk, the Shell Shock passive, and no Phantom set. It is not a weapon, and the characters field is empty. The wiki does not document how to obtain it, so unlock steps and drop rates do not appear in the stat record. Use this page for the documented values and equip timing; use the game page or wiki for anything the entry leaves blank.
What Phantom Blade Zero In a Wheel Is
The stat record for Phantom Blade Zero In a Wheel is short: rarity 4, flame 4, and base ATK +11. The game page labels it an Epic Phantom, and it is one entry in the Phantoms index. Those values describe the companion's contribution and element rating; they are not a drop table. Cannon Art and Shell Shock sit beside the base stat because they define the synced-skill perk and the passive rather than extra raw stats.

| Rarity | 4 |
| Flame | 4 |
| Base stat | ATK +11 |
| Synced-skill perk | Cannon Art |

Phantom Basics: Memories, Echoes, and Tangible Techniques
Phantoms are memories and echoes of Kung Fu masters that permeate the ParaWulin. Illusionists distill those memories and echoes into tangible objects, and those objects grant knowledge of techniques from the masters. The masters may be long dead, or they may still walk among the living. Someone's own moves can even exist as a Phantom, creating faint ripples across the ParaWulin as it projects moves as part of its nature; those projected moves may not be the same ones the person knows. That lore matters for reading entries like this one because the companion is a technique memory, not a living party member in the usual sense.
On the comparison question, rarity and flame are separate attributes, and the entry does not say which matters more when comparing Phantoms. A rarity-4 companion with flame 4 is still defined by its base stat, synced-skill perk, and passive, so read those fields together instead of using one number as a power score. The lore also explains why a Phantom can carry a master's technique without being that master; the object grants knowledge, while the memory remains the origin.
Cannon Art and Shell Shock: Synced Skill and Passive
Cannon Art is the synced-skill perk on this Phantom. Its associated skill shoots a grenade forward, dealing ATK-based damage that bypasses the target's Shield. That makes the perk relevant when a Shield would otherwise blunt a hit, but the wiki leaves the exact ATK percentage as a variable placeholder, so this page does not invent a fixed multiplier. The wording also separates the perk from the passive: Cannon Art describes the grenade shot, not a lasting aura or a set bonus.
Shell Shock is the passive. Targets hit by your bomb receive reduced Shield damage reduction for 5 sec. In plain terms, the passive softens the Shield's protection after the bomb connects, giving follow-up damage a better window. The wiki leaves the reduction percentage as a placeholder as well. No extra meter, cooldown, or stacking rule is stated on the entry, so those details stay out of this record. That is why the safe reading is a 5 sec Shield-reduction effect tied to bomb hits, not a full rotation.
When to Equip Phantom Blade Zero In a Wheel
In practice, Phantom Blade Zero In a Wheel is a damage-oriented pick when you want a flat ATK +11 plus a Shield-bypassing grenade and a short Shield-reduction debuff. The entry lists no Phantom set and its characters field is empty, so there is no set bonus or named character synergy to chase here. Equip it when the fight rewards burst damage around a Shielded target, or when your main plan already benefits from a 5 sec window after a bomb hit. Do not treat it as a defensive companion; its documented kit points toward attack and Shield pressure.
Compared with other rarity-4 phantoms, In a Wheel is worth using only if you specifically want ATK +11, a Shield-bypassing Cannon Art grenade, and the Shell Shock window; the entry gives no basis to rank it above or below other rarity-4 phantoms. That package is narrow enough to compare against a fight checklist rather than a tier list. Use it if the checklist values raw attack and Shield bypass; leave it if your current companion already covers those needs or if you need a set bonus that this entry does not list.
- Equip when a Shielded enemy is central to the fight and you can land the bomb before your main damage.
- Consider it when ATK +11 fits your build better than a defensive or utility passive.
- Skip it when a Phantom set bonus is your priority, because no set is listed for this companion.
Other Wheel Terms and What This Entry Does Not Cover
Tempest Wheel is not documented on the In a Wheel record, so this page cannot say what it is, and it lists no L1 + Triangle input. The entry also does not explain why Blade Force is not filling, does not give a clash count, and does not say whether Tempest Wheel is bugged. Radiant Wheel on Ink Cut is not described, and its detonation timing is not stated. Unlocking Twin Radiant Wheels and getting Plain Sword Tassel are not covered by this entry. The word wheel can refer to a fire wheel monkey boss or Mechanical Gear in other contexts, but this page covers only the Epic Phantom named In a Wheel. Check the relevant game page or wiki entry for those systems.
Acquisition and Practical Limits
The wiki does not document how to obtain In a Wheel. It lists no unlock steps, no drop locations, and no drop rates, so any acquisition answer beyond that would be invented. The details on this page were read through a Fandom API mirror of the wiki entry, and the canonical Fandom page is the In a Wheel entry. Values such as the ATK scaling percentage, the Shell Shock reduction percentage, and any move or meter details not stated in the entry remain outside this record.
