The '''Phantom Blade''' was a modification to the [[Hidden Blade]] adopted by the [[French Assassins]]. It added a projectile mechanism to the Hidden Blade, making it both fast and deadly at long range.<ref name="ACU">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
The Phantom Blade could be loaded with two types of projectiles: a regular projectile blade and a poisoned blade that caused the victim to attack others, allowing [[Assassins]] such as [[Arno Dorian]] a silent kill or distraction. The Phantom Blade could be upgraded, allowing the user to fire two blades before reloading.<ref name="ACU"/><br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*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>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Rome: Chapter 3 - Francesco Vecellio]]</ref><br />
