Phantom Blade Zero Lethal Gaze: Phantoms Companion Guide

Phantom Blade Zero Lethal Gaze: Identity and Stats

Phantoms are memories and echoes of Kung Fu masters that permeate the ParaWulin. Illusionists distill those echoes into tangible objects, so whoever carries one gains knowledge of the originating master's techniques. That master may be long dead, or may still walk among the living, and someone's own moves can even exist as a Phantom, creating faint ripples across the ParaWulin. In play the result is a summon companion with a rarity, a flame value, a base stat bonus, a perk bound to the synced skill, and a passive. Phantom Blade Zero Lethal Gaze is one recorded entry in that system.

Lethal Gaze is classified as an Epic Phantom. Its recorded stat line is short: rarity 4, flame 4, and a base bonus of Synced Skill Shield Break +10.2%. Nothing else is listed for it, so the Shield Break figure is the number to weigh when comparing it against another entry.

Set membership is part of the stat picture, because the bonuses a Phantom grants also depend on whether it is part of a Phantom Set. This Phantom belongs to Two Faces alongside Rose of Thorns. Equipping it alone leaves the set effect inactive; the +10.2% Shield Break bonus, the Magic Eye perk and the Deadly Gaze passive are recorded on the Phantom itself, while Two Faces is recorded separately as a set.

Magic Eye, Deadly Gaze, and Synced Skill Behavior

Magic Eye is the perk bound to the synced skill. Activating the synced skill summons one floating cannon that attacks enemies in a straight line and deals variable damage. The game page writes the damage as a variable rather than a fixed number, so no single percentage is published here. Read it as scaling cannon fire that lands along a line, which favours lining enemies up before the skill fires. For Phantom Blade Zero Lethal Gaze, Magic Eye and Deadly Gaze are the two recorded ability names.

Deadly Gaze sits apart from the perk and works as the passive. It summons one floating cannon and carries a 25% chance to summon yet another, so a single trigger can put two cannons on the field. Because the chance is stated rather than guaranteed, the passive's value climbs with the number of times the synced skill and its cannon summons actually resolve during a fight.

The two abilities share the Shield Break base bonus. The +10.2% Synced Skill Shield Break applies to the synced skill that Magic Eye describes, so the cannon attack and the shield-breaking stat arrive together on the same trigger. The page states the +10.2% figure but does not explain how Shield Break is applied in combat, so no formula is given here.

Taken together, the package reads as a ranged supplement: a straight-line cannon from the synced skill, an extra cannon from a 25% roll, and a Shield Break bonus riding along with both. Nothing in the recorded text suggests the cannons are controllable or persistent, so treat them as summoned attackers rather than pets.

Two Faces Set: Lethal Gaze and Rose of Thorns

For Phantom Blade Zero Lethal Gaze, Two Faces is a Phantom Set, meaning a named collection that only pays out with both members present. When Lethal Gaze and Rose of Thorns are on Combo Chains at the same time, all skills and attacks have a 10% chance of summoning a laser beam or a thorny trap. Both outcomes damage targets for 200% of ATK.

Two details in that wording matter. First, the trigger requires both Phantoms on the Combo Chains simultaneously, so a chain that holds only one of them does nothing. Second, the 10% roll is attached to all skills and attacks rather than to the two Phantoms alone, which means the set's output scales with how often a build attacks at all.

Is Two Faces worth running? Yes, when both Phantom slots are free and the build attacks constantly: the 10% roll rides on every skill and attack, so a fast rotation gets more lasers and traps, and the 200% ATK damage is a real layer. No, when slotting Rose of Thorns would cost a Phantom that a shield-break build needs on its own. Two Faces is a bonus layer for Phantom Blade Zero Lethal Gaze, not a reason to force the pair.

When to Equip Phantom Blade Zero Lethal Gaze

The recorded base stat bonus on Lethal Gaze is Synced Skill Shield Break +10.2%, and that figure points to a shield-break build: one that fires the synced skill often and wants its shield damage pushed up. The advice in this section is editorial; the game page lists values and effects but issues no recommendation. Consider this Phantom when a build wants Synced Skill Shield Break on its synced skill and can also use cannon pressure from Magic Eye and Deadly Gaze. The 25% double-summon on the passive rewards repeated synced-skill use, so it suits a rotation that fires the synced skill often rather than saving it for one burst window.

The second condition is Rose of Thorns. If that Phantom is already on the Combo Chains, Two Faces becomes live and every skill and attack inherits the 10% laser-or-trap roll. Running it without Rose of Thorns gives up that layer entirely, which makes the pair the stronger way to use it whenever the second Phantom slot is free.

Is Lethal Gaze good, and what tier is it? Short answer: good but not mandatory, and best treated as a mid-tier, set-dependent pick. No game tier list ranks Phantoms, and this entry publishes no ranking, so any top-tier claim is unsupported. Its recorded package of a +10.2% Synced Skill Shield Break bonus, straight-line cannon fire and a 25% double-summon is useful, but the payoff only fully lands when Rose of Thorns is chained alongside it for Two Faces.

Lethal Gaze or Evil Punisher for shield breaking? Take Lethal Gaze when the build also wants cannon pressure and can run Two Faces; take Evil Punisher when the only goal is shield breaking and the second Phantom slot is better spent elsewhere. The wiki publishes no shared table of Shield Break values for the two, so this is a slot-fit call rather than a numbers win, and testing both in-game is the only way to settle it.

Is Lethal Gaze the same as Death Gaze? No. Death Gaze is not a name this entry uses; the similar term is Deadly Gaze, which is the passive that summons one floating cannon with a 25% chance to summon another. A search for Death Gaze is looking for a label the page does not record, so treat it as a separate or misremembered name rather than another version of Phantom Blade Zero Lethal Gaze.

Acquisition and Availability: What the Wiki Shows

The wiki's Availability section for this Phantom is blank. There is no drop source, no unlock step, no currency cost and no quest line recorded, so this page states none of those things. Anyone who needs the exact route should open the in-game Phantom list, because the written record currently answers nothing about acquisition.

The story tab carries a single line of flavour text, “If you see a dazzling beam of light before death, will your fear of death dissipate?” It sets a tone but not a method. The passage sits under a “4 Flames” heading, matching the flame 4 value in the stat line.
