The '''Phantom Blade''' was a modification to the [[Hidden Blade]] adopted by the [[French Assassins]]. It added a firing-dart mechanism to the Hidden Blade, making it both fast and deadly at long range.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gypgS8Y9fgs ''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' - Introduction to Arno]</ref>

==Usage==
The Phantom Blade could be loaded with two types of projectiles: lethal and berserk darts, allowing [[Assassins]] such as [[Arno Dorian]] a silent kill or distraction.<ref>[http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-US/news/news_detail.aspx?c=tcm:152-147115-16&ct=tcm:148-76770-32 ''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' DevBlog – Combat with Alex Pedneault]</ref>To use it you have to make sure that the aiming circle turns red.When it turns red,it means that you are in range to kill you enemy.

==Trivia==
*A similar device known as the "[[Hidden Blade#Da Vinci|Hidden Bolt]]" was made by [[Leonardo da Vinci]] in the 1500s for [[Apprentices|Apprentice]] [[Francesco Vecellio]]. As he was not yet of the proper rank to use a [[Hidden Gun]], the Hidden Bolt acted as a silent alternative which fired small crossbow bolts.<ref>[[Rome: Chapter 3 - Francesco Vecellio]]</ref>
