Phantom Blade Zero · Faceless Swordsman Captain · Monsters

Blue-robed swordsmen whose faces have become hollow voids. Already more accomplished than the white-robed disciples they commanded, their swordplay grew still more formidable after Perfect Transcension: swift as the wind, ruthless and sure. Having undergone Transcension, willingly or otherwise, they were enemies of the Mandate with nowhere left to turn. Pangzhen, too, had become a dead town. No refuge awaited them there.

Stats and details

Combat strategy

One combo continues after the blue strike. Perfect-block it, then read the next hit before countering. The enemy can still shoot at range. Cross the line of fire sideways and close between shots. Once the combo starts, watch for the follow-up hits. Counter when the last strike misses. Probe with a short attack in melee. The enemy can counter, so stop the string if the opener misses.
