Phantom Blade Zero Rose of Thorns: Two Faces Phantom Guide

What Phantom Blade Zero Rose of Thorns Is

Phantoms in the Phantom World are memories and echoes of Kung Fu masters that permeate the ParaWulin. Illusionists distill those echoes into tangible objects that grant knowledge of Kung Fu techniques. The masters behind them may be long dead or still living, and a person's own moves can even exist as a Phantom. That lore explains the name and flavor, but the practical entry is simpler: a companion item with a listed stat, perk, passive, and set tag.

Rose of Thorns is an Epic Phantom. The wiki gives it rarity 4, flame 4, and DEF +3 as its base bonus. Those three values are the cleanest verified starting point for any equip decision. The same page places it in the Two Faces set, which matters because a Phantom's set membership affects its bonuses. The page does not provide a tier rating or a general explanation of how flame values interact with combat, so those claims stay out of the main read.

For the broader companion list, use Phantoms. Two Faces remains a plain set name here because no verified set page is available in the current link set. The distinction between lore and mechanics matters: the equip screen cares about the listed stat, perk, passive, and set tag, not about unsupported lore interpretation.

Stats: Rarity 4, Flame 4, and DEF +3

For Phantom Blade Zero Rose of Thorns, the verified stat line is short: rarity 4, flame 4, and a base DEF +3 bonus. Rarity 4 is the listed rarity, and the wiki calls the Phantom Epic. Flame 4 is also a listed value, but the cited page does not define a broader flame mechanic for this entry. Treat flame 4 as a displayed trait, not as a verified damage multiplier or element rule. DEF +3 is the base stat bonus.

For this entry, rarity 4 is the Epic tier and flame 4 is a listed flame trait; the source does not define a separate star scale or explain how flame changes combat values. Because the base bonus is flat DEF +3, the value is easy to compare at a glance. The page does not say whether that DEF bonus scales with rarity, flame, or upgrades; it only lists the base value. Keep that limit in mind when judging the stat line.

Thorny Trap Synced-Skill Perk

For Phantom Blade Zero Rose of Thorns, Thorny Trap triggers on the synced skill only according to the listed wording; the source does not say other actions can trigger it. The caltrops are tossed forward from the user, but the exact landing distance, trap spread, and trap count are not listed. Damage is 200%, 250%, or 300% of ATK by rank.

The damage share is tied to your ATK, so the perk benefits from attack growth even though the Phantom's own base bonus is defensive. The cited page does not list a cooldown, duration, trap count, or hit frequency, so those details cannot be added to this entry.

Anguish Abyss Passive

Anguish Abyss is the passive that works with the trap. The trap has a chance to kill a target in one hit, except the final boss, and it always kills any target with less than 10% HP remaining. The chance values are 20% at rank 1, 25% at rank 2, and 30% at rank 3. The final-boss exception is explicit, so this is not a universal boss execute. Against valid targets, the under-10% clause is a separate guaranteed execution condition.

The under-10% clause and the percentage chance are separate conditions. The page does not state whether the chance applies on each trap tick, once per skill, or per target; that wording is not provided.

When to Equip Phantom Blade Zero Rose of Thorns

Equip this Phantom when you want a DEF +3 base bonus plus a synced-skill trap package. Its practical identity is defensive stat plus area damage and execution pressure: Thorny Trap adds 200%/250%/300% ATK damage by rank, and Anguish Abyss adds a 20%/25%/30% one-hit-kill chance against non-final-boss targets and a guaranteed kill under 10% HP. It belongs to Two Faces; with the set effect active, all skills and attacks have a 10% chance to summon a laser beam or thorny trap that damages targets for 200% of your ATK.

Phantom Blade Zero Rose of Thorns is best treated as a defensive trap option, not as a ranked meta pick. Two Faces is a named Phantom set; Rose of Thorns is paired only with other Two Faces Phantoms, and the source does not name a specific partner. The set bonus works as a conditional effect: when active, all skills and attacks have a 10% chance to summon a laser beam or thorny trap for 200% of your ATK. The source does not state how many Two Faces Phantoms are needed to activate it, so confirm activation in-game before building around it.

Upgrade priority: take both rank tracks to 3 if you use the trap. Thorny Trap rises from 200% to 250% to 300% of ATK, and Anguish Abyss rises from 20% to 25% to 30% one-hit-kill chance. The source does not document separate flame-upgrade changes, so do not assume flame 4 unlocks extra effects; treat flame 4 as a listed trait. There is no verified reason to stop at rank 2 unless you lack materials.

For Phantom Blade Zero Rose of Thorns, comparisons with other DEF +3 4-flame Phantoms such as Lady Moon or Kirin Warlord are not verified by the cited data because their stat lines, perks, and passives are not listed here. You cannot call Rose of Thorns better or worse on that evidence; compare the in-game entries side by side. The only verified edge to check is whether you value DEF +3 plus trap damage and execution pressure over the other Phantom's kit.

One practical use case is a defensive synced-skill setup that wants extra damage from the same button press. A second use case is a trap-focused setup that values the execution clause on non-final-boss targets. In both cases, the reason is the listed effect, not an unsupported tier claim.

Where the set fits: Two Faces is a named collection, and the set effect is a 10% chance for all skills and attacks to summon a laser beam or thorny trap for 200% ATK. Because the page does not list activation count, treat the set line as a conditional bonus rather than a guaranteed part of a single-slot build.
