Phantom Blade Zero · Frost Zither Maiden · Monsters

Puppet zitherists dressed in white, with white hair and zithers in their arms, cold mist curling around them. Their music carries a deadly edge. Blocking the blue sound waves they release causes the lingering notes to rebound against them. At first, Wulin folk taught them a few Phantom Arts, making snow dance from their strings to enhance their performances. Then came a few pieces of silver, enough to persuade them to compose songs and lyrics for the Lady. Last came a prescription and a bowl of medicine. “Drink this, and you will not catch the strange illness and become puppets.”

Stats and details

Combat strategy

One ranged attack cannot be blocked. Move across its line of fire or dodge, then close from the side. Perfect-block the blue-flash strike just before impact. 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.
