Revision 3

Overview

The Sanguine Twin is a pair of dual short swords in Phantom Blade Zero, created by the character Forge and modeled after the original Sanguine. Tailor-made for Soul, the Sanguine Twin prioritizes agility and speed over raw damage, providing dynamic, gravity-defying combos that keep constant pressure on enemies.

Combat style

The Sanguine Twin trades damage per hit for relentless offensive pressure and stamina drain on enemies. Hands-on previews describe the weapon as offering "lower damage, higher pressure and stamina drain" compared to other primary weapons. The rapid attack speed means hits come in quick succession, making it ideal for players who prefer overwhelming enemies with volume rather than individual heavy strikes.

The dual short swords enable gravity-defying acrobatic combos. Aerial flourishes, rapid cross-slashes, and spinning attacks that keep Soul in constant motion. The weapon is built for aggressive players who want to maintain momentum without pausing between attack strings.

Projectile finisher

The Sanguine Twin's signature feature is its throwable projectile finisher. At the end of a combo, the shorter sword can be thrown out as a projectile weapon, allowing you to execute near-death targets from afar. This ranged finisher lets you close out fights without needing to chase fleeing or staggered enemies, maintaining aggressive momentum throughout an encounter.

Combat abilities

Lore

The Sanguine Twin was specifically crafted for Soul by Forge, designed to complement his fighting style with a lighter, faster alternative to the original Sanguine. The fact that Forge modeled these blades after Sanguine (recreating its design in a dual-wield format) suggests a deep understanding of both the weapon and its wielder.
