Inanis' Radiant Fan.

Inanis' Radiant Fan is a decorated war fan that Inanis presents in the Realm of Mirage, and as a Phantom Edge it is designed around healing.

Damage, range or some handy trick is what most Phantom Edges provide. This one provides healing instead. If triggered at a good moment, it lays down a field which mends your wounds and refills Sha-Chi bit by bit, a fit for late battles in which you must stay cautious and wait for gaps.

Since a quest hands it over instead of a boss dropping it, you follow Whence the Weeping and the Lady's Shrine area, not one arena.

Because Phantom Blade Zero has no published 0–100 bars for stats, this page gives the weapon's numbers as they stand at level 1.

These numbers are taken from values the game itself lists for level 1; they were not confirmed through play.

Before you start:

• Defeat Huangxing
• Complete Whence the Weeping

1. Advance to the Mountain of Imprisonment and arrive at The Lady's Shrine.
2. Beat Huangxing, then go on into the shrine's depths.
3. Inanis hands the fan to you once spoken to, during the quest called Whence the Weeping.

A field to stand within

Healing from the fan is not immediate. Triggering it creates a field that returns health and Sha-Chi over time, so it is most useful if you can retreat to a protected spot, recover, and then rejoin the close fight.

Teaming it with a damage source

It inflicts no damage of its own, so you combine it with edges that cover that shortcoming. For guard breaking, Bashpole is recommended; Puppeteer's Bell contributes sturdy allies who attract enemy attention; Bastion is listed for soaking up damage and regaining resources. A more offensive build can put Kuye Temple Prayer Beads where the fan sits.

Perks from levelling

Every upgrade adds one weapon level, and the abilities below unlock at the levels given.

Soul Tempering

Strengths

• One activation of its healing field refills health and Sha-Chi alike, so two resources are handled together.
• Patient players are repaid in long boss battles, where defending and attacking leave your reserves low.

Weaknesses

• Damage is not its focus, so killing enemies falls to other edges or your primary weapons.
• Healing arrives slowly and the zone is intended for use from a protected position, so it cannot serve as a panic heal.

Best used for

• Tough bosses late in the game, where staying alive and handling Sha-Chi are most important.
• Combined with Bashpole, so you shatter the guard in short bursts and heal in the gaps.
