Jade-Face is a difficult boss in Phantom Blade Zero, but by building your character strategically, the battle will become significantly easier. You need weapons that do high amounts of damage and that will drain the boss’s Sha-Chi quickly. In this guide, we’ll cover the best equipment to use and explain how to defeat Jade-Face by making the most of your weapons, abilities, and damage buffs.
Recommended Build and Equipment
In this case, you have to make sure that you have a build that will ensure that you deal great damage, along with making sure that the Sha-Chi of your opponents is drained easily.
In this scenario, the weapon to go with is the Baishan Storm Swords. They are weapons that will help you make sure that you are able to deal damage by taking good chunks out of the health of the bosses. The other key weapon is the Scarlet Wraithblade since it will help in draining the Sha-Chi at level 30.
The Thunder Spear can also be used due to its ability to chain lightning between two enemies and thus deal AoE damage. As far as the rest of your gear and abilities, make use of Kaidu to decrease damage taken, Lament Draft to get an increased 20% damage dealt for 40 seconds, and the Reflex Device for easier parries. It will also help you gather Shao-Ti Essence, thus enabling you to use L2 attacks more often. You should also have Crimson Resolve for a damage increase, Quickhand Pair for some additional dual-blade damage, and Hunter’s Insight to drain even more Sha-Chi and increase damage.
How to Defeat Jade-Face
The battle is not an easy one, so begin by using your medicine to increase the damage buff. It is important that you use Kaidu to minimize the damage you take since the enemies are very damaging. With this added protection at the start, you can make your life easier during the battle.
In the middle of the battle, switch to Scarlet Wraithblade and summon her lilies to start draining the Sha-Chi of your enemies. Always attack whenever there is a chance, and switch to Wraithblade when you can.
Finding opportunities to heal can be difficult because one of the bosses constantly throws his weapon at you. Try to create some distance before using medicine, and make sure to parry his attacks whenever possible.
The Thunder Spear is useful if both enemies are in close proximity since the AoE attacks will cause damage to both of them through lightning. It is best to utilize all the abilities provided by this weapon while using the Wraithblade to continue to apply pressure to the enemies. The enemies’ teleporting ability will make combat a little frustrating since the enemies can move away from your reach.
Continue to fight until you have charged your wind meter and your lightning meter. Once you have charged both of them to full capacity, use the Bashon’s Blessing buff that you can use. Just before performing the L2 attacks, drink your medicine again for an additional damage increase buff to your attacks.
Once everything is ready, unleash your L2 attacks to take a huge chunk out of the boss’s health. Keep using the Scarlet Wraithblade to drain Sha-Chi while building up your meters for another powerful attack.
