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><br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
The Phantom Blade could be loaded with two types of projectiles: lethal and berserk [[poison darts]], allowing [[Assassins]] such as [[Arno Dorian]] a silent kill or distraction.The berserk blade would make the target fight its allies. It could be upraded to fire two darts without reloading.{{Stub}}<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>[[Rome: Chapter 3 - Francesco Vecellio]]</ref><br />
