Beginner tips for Phantom Blade Zero

Treat the Sha-Chi meter as both your power resource and guard limit: holding guard drains it, so avoid waiting behind a block. The public combat guide recommends parrying blue-flash attacks, perfectly dodging red-flash attacks, and switching weapons to help recover Sha-Chi. Confirm each move's timing in your own fight.

The walkthrough says defeated enemies stay cleared and weapon upgrades can be refunded with the Reforging Talisman, so explore side paths and try upgrades before a difficult boss. Complete side tales while you are in a region because some fail when the story advances.
