Phantom Blade Zero Life Reaver: Summon Companion Guide

Phantom Blade Zero Life Reaver: Core Entry

This page covers Phantom Blade Zero Life Reaver as a Phantoms summon companion, not as a weapon or a full build route. Internal links stay on Phantoms or this entry; set names such as Leechcraft or Swordplay? remain plain text. The Phantom is an item that can sync with a Skill and grant bonuses shaped by its rarity and Phantom Set membership. In the wiki, Life Reaver is listed as an Epic Phantom, which is the clearest quality label on the entry. The key labels are Life Reaver, Life Siphon, and Summon Helper. Its data block gives rarity 4, flame 4, and a base HP bonus of +110. Those three numbers are the foundation for every later section, and the page keeps speculation about hidden scaling out of the main text. The wiki does not explain what flame 4 changes in play, so that detail stays unverified.

What a Phantom Is and How This One Fits

A Phantom syncs with a Skill and grants bonuses based on rarity and set membership. Lore calls Phantoms memories and echoes of Kung Fu masters distilled into tangible objects; the master behind one may be long dead or still living, and a person's own moves can exist as a Phantom even if the projected moves differ from what was known. This Phantom is the Epic Life Reaver, an entry with rarity 4, flame 4, and HP +110. It is not a standalone weapon, and the data page does not describe its story beyond the 4 Flames heading and character Xie Huichun. The practical read is simple: equip it for the HP bonus and its synced-skill support, not for unlisted damage multipliers.

The table below keeps the documented values in one place. It does not add drop data, unlock steps, or scaling that the wiki entry does not state.

Life Siphon and Summon Helper

Life Siphon is the synced-skill perk. It summons 2 Assistants to fight for (var1) seconds every time you use synced skills, then has a 150 sec cooldown before they become available again. The rank variables on the wiki are 150, 160, and 1700, listed as raw values; the entry does not map each rank to a duration, so the mapping stays unverified. Summon Helper is the passive: your Assistants are in Frenzy mode, with a 25% chance of gaining an Elite trait. In practice, Life Siphon puts Assistants on the field, and Summon Helper improves the quality of those Assistants while they are active. Life Siphon does not have documented stacking with weapon lifesteal, and the wiki does not state that lifesteal is reduced against certain enemies; neither interaction is confirmed.

For a reader asking whether Life Siphon and Summon Helper are the same thing, they are not: one is the synced-skill perk with the summon and cooldown text, and the other is the passive that modifies Assistants already on the field. The page keeps both labels exact so the kit can be matched against the in-game entry for Phantom Blade Zero Life Reaver.

Leechcraft or Swordplay? Set Membership

The set is Leechcraft or Swordplay? and it is a named collection, not a page on this site. With Evil Punisher and Life Reaver on Combo Chains, the set grants +2% Crit Rate for every Guardian summoned, stacking up to 3 times. At 2 Evolved Flames, Doctor or Swordsman? raises that to +3% Crit Rate per Guardian summoned, still stacking up to 3 times. At 4 Evolved Flames, Healer of Killer? raises it to +5% Crit Rate per Guardian summoned, again stacking up to 3 times. The trigger sentence is therefore specific: both Evil Punisher and this Phantom must be on Combo Chains, and Guardians must be summoned for the Crit Rate to accrue. Life Reaver versus Evil Punisher has no documented stat-by-stat comparison; the only documented link is this shared set trigger, so no direct ranking is supported.

The Crit Rate line is the only set effect shown in the supplied entry, so the page does not add set bonuses beyond +2%, +3%, and +5% at the listed Flame thresholds. Guardian summons are the condition to watch; without them, the set text has no Crit Rate to add.

When to Equip Phantom Blade Zero Life Reaver

Equip this Phantom when you want HP +110, synced-skill Assistant summons, and the Frenzy/Elite Assistant support from Summon Helper. It also fits a Leechcraft or Swordplay? route that uses Evil Punisher on Combo Chains and expects regular Guardian summons. The available data does not rank it as the best Phantom; it is worth considering when those pieces match the plan. Life Reaver is a Phantom, not a lifesteal weapon such as Outlaw Warblade or Jagged Steel, so the HP and Assistant package is the reason to slot it. Against other HP +110 Phantoms such as Raging Dragon, Past Master, and Evil Healer, no documented comparison exists; Life Reaver is the one with rarity 4, flame 4, Life Siphon, and Summon Helper in this entry, but the wiki does not rank them. Phantom Blade Zero Life Reaver also has no documented unlock method or drop location, so acquisition cannot be confirmed from the entry.

• Want a flat HP +110 bonus on the synced Skill.
• Use synced skills often enough to call 2 Assistants.
• Can place Evil Punisher and Life Reaver on Combo Chains.
• Expect Guardian summons to build Crit Rate under Leechcraft or Swordplay?.
