Phantom Blade Zero · Scarlet Swordsman · Monsters

Red-clad disciples of the righteous path who combine the techniques of the Sect of the Scarlet Knife with Perfect Transcension. Using blood as a catalyst, they unleash blood-red Sha-Chi with a thunderous roar, driving nearby Perfect Transcended into a frenzy. Some less accomplished swordsmen, or those who took up martial arts later in life, feared that Perfect Transcension alone would not help them stand out among their peers. They turned to these techniques instead, gaining both greater strength and a following of their own. When the escaping blood aura began staining their clothes red, they simply changed into crimson robes. The stench of blood, however, is impossible to hide.

Stats and details

Combat strategy

One combo continues after the blue strike. Perfect-block it, then read the next hit before countering. One ranged attack cannot be blocked. Move across its line of fire or dodge, then close from the side. The enemy can counter ranged attacks. If it answers your first shot, reposition and fire after its next miss. Once the combo starts, watch for the follow-up hits. Counter when the last strike misses.
