02 / Phantom Edges
The second blade you carry
Phantom Edges are the secondary layer of the arsenal — thrown, deployed or held, each one changes how a fight is approached rather than how hard it hits.
Entries record where the edge is found and what it does. Effects are summarised in plain language, not quoted from tooltips.
Twenty-five Phantom Edges are covered, grouped by how they behave in combat: thrown projectiles, placed traps and held buffs. The region column points to the chapter where each edge first becomes available, so nothing in the table sits out of reach for your current progress.
25 Phantom Edges across 8 regions are listed, each with where it is found and what it changes in a fight. Effects are summarised in plain language and checked on 2 November 2026.
