How to upgrade Phantom Edges in Phantom Blade Zero: materials and levels

Updated: Last verified:
Quick answer

Phantom Edges are also upgraded with Forge from any bell, up to level 30. They don’t use Solvent: each category has its own material plus Remnant Dust. As they level up they gain damage, stamina damage and new techniques at certain levels.

Real example

Dread Axe from level 1 to 2: 1 Darkfire Charcoal and 640 Dust; up to level 5 it uses 8 charcoals and unlocks «Carga a plena potencia».

Reverting

Same as weapons: you get everything back. Up to level 10 it’s free; from level 11 you need a Phantom Reforge Talisman (different from the weapon one).

Afterwards you can take them to the Soul Temper. Full list in all Phantom Edges.
