Phantom Blade Zero Tangs' Outcast
By the Blade Zero Wiki editors
Updated
Phantom Blade Zero Tangs' Outcast is a Phantoms entry page for the summon companion Tangs' Outcast, with the page id phantom-tangs-outcast and the path /phantoms/tangs-outcast/. It is a rarity 3, flame 3 Phantom with a Synced Skill DMG +7.2% base bonus, the Deep Cuts synced-skill perk, and membership in the Taboo Power Phantom set. Phantoms are skill-syncing items whose bonuses depend on rarity and Phantom Set membership; in the game's lore they are memories and echoes of Kung Fu masters across the ParaWulin, shaped by illusionists into objects that grant knowledge of techniques.
Phantom Blade Zero Tangs' Outcast overview and page identity
This is the Phantom Blade Zero Tangs' Outcast entry, id phantom-tangs-outcast, reachable from Phantoms and at this page. It is a companion profile rather than a character page: the focus is the item that syncs with a Skill and modifies the resulting synced skill. The wiki identifies Tangs' Outcast as a Heroic Phantom in PBE and associates the entry with Tang Li.
The spelling used here is Tangs' Outcast, with the apostrophe after the s; this is the name used by the wiki entry. The name can appear in searches next to unrelated fiction, but this page covers only the wuxia game's summon companion and its documented Phantoms data.
Phantoms in the Phantom World are memories and echoes of Kung Fu masters that permeate the ParaWulin. Illusionists distill these memories into tangible objects to grant knowledge of Kung Fu techniques. The masters behind them may be long dead or still living, and someone's own moves can exist as a Phantom, creating faint ripples across the ParaWulin. A projected move may not be the same move that was known, which is useful context for treating Phantom bonuses as game mechanics rather than simple biography.
Stats, rarity, flame, and Deep Cuts
Phantom Blade Zero Tangs' Outcast lists rarity 3, flame 3, and a base stat bonus of Synced Skill DMG +7.2%. The rarity and flame are fixed values in the entry, not a ranking. The game page presents Phantoms as companion items whose bonuses depend on rarity and set membership, so the +7.2% synced skill damage is the concrete number to use when judging this Phantom's baseline contribution.
Deep Cuts is the synced-skill perk. Enemies hit by the synced skill take increased damage for the next 4 seconds. The wiki lists rank variables 8, 9, and 10 for that bonus; those are the three rank values shown in the perk template. In combat terms, the perk opens a short damage window after the synced skill connects, so it rewards using the skill before follow-up attacks or a burst sequence.
The page describes Tangs' Outcast as a Heroic Phantom in PBE. Its passive field is blank: the wiki does not list passive text for this Phantom. That means the documented kit is the base Synced Skill DMG +7.2% bonus plus Deep Cuts, and any claimed passive effect outside the blank field is not documented here.
| Rank | Deep Cuts damage bonus | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | 8% | 4 sec |
| Rank 2 | 9% | 4 sec |
| Rank 3 | 10% | 4 sec |
Taboo Power set and when to equip this Phantom
Tangs' Outcast is assigned to the Taboo Power Phantom set. The set entry lists Max HP -15% and ATK +8% when Tangs' Outcast, Rueful Mother, and Fallen Saint are in Combo Chains simultaneously. A second listing, Taboo Power - EX, shows Max HP -25% and ATK +12% with 2 Evolved Flames. The wiki also associates this Phantom with Tang Li.
Equip Phantom Blade Zero Tangs' Outcast when the build is already using synced skills and can justify the Taboo Power trade. The documented set payoff is a Max HP penalty for an ATK gain, so the set is not a free upgrade; it asks the player to accept lower health for more attack. The Deep Cuts window supports a synced-skill sequence, while the base +7.2% is a modest, direct bonus.
As a standalone stat stick, this Phantom offers the +7.2% synced skill damage and Deep Cuts; the set membership is the reason to consider it over a generic damage bonus. Is Taboo Power worth building around? It is worth considering when all three listed members fit the Combo Chains and the player accepts the Max HP loss; otherwise, use the Phantom for its synced-skill damage and treat the set as a context-dependent package.
| Set condition | Effect |
|---|---|
| Tangs' Outcast, Rueful Mother, and Fallen Saint in Combo Chains simultaneously | Max HP -15%, ATK +8% |
| Taboo Power - EX with 2 Evolved Flames | Max HP -25%, ATK +12% |
Acquisition and availability for Phantom Blade Zero Tangs' Outcast
Tangs' Outcast has no documented drop location or unlock method in the wiki entry. The entry does not list a drop, drop rate, unlock step, quest, vendor, event window, or schedule, so there is no confirmed place to farm or unlock this Phantom. No acquisition method should be inferred from the stat block.
Players looking for this Phantom should treat the wiki entry as incomplete on acquisition and check in-game availability or a later update note rather than assuming a drop table. The documented information covers combat values, the Deep Cuts perk, the blank passive field, and Taboo Power set membership.
Choosing and comparing Phantoms for a build
Compare Phantoms by the synced skill they modify, the base bonus, the perk window, and the Phantom Set package. Bonuses depend on rarity and set membership, so a rarity 3 Phantom with a relevant +7.2% synced skill bonus can still be the right pick when the skill is central to the build. Tangs' Outcast should be judged as a damage-oriented synced-skill option, not as a universal best pick.
The documented data supports calling this Phantom a damage-oriented support for synced skills, but the wiki entry does not rank it. Tier lists may disagree because ranking depends on context outside the entry, including the rest of the Combo Chains and the player's tolerance for the Taboo Power Max HP penalty; that disagreement is not settled by the listed numbers.
For a synced-skill build, the Phantom Blade Zero Tangs' Outcast page does not provide stats for Lone Blade or Burning Fire, so a direct comparison cannot be made from this entry alone; check their own Phantoms entries and compare their base bonuses, perks, and set membership rather than assuming a ranking.
Flame is the Phantom's element value; Tangs' Outcast is flame 3. The entry does not explain what flame measures beyond that label or whether flame 3 differs from flame 4, so no confirmed mechanical difference between the two values is documented.
