Learn how to avoid and fix the annoying targeting and movement glitches in Phantom Blade Zero. Understand blue grid line targeting and character pathing issues.
Walkthrough
- 1Targeting Glitch: This occurs when the blue grid lines, indicating a skill's target range, land on an item or character positioned directly in front of the caster. Skills that normally auto-target, like 'Thwap', are affected. If the blue grid lines are on an object/character in front of the caster, but the enemy is manually targeted, the attack icon may appear above the enemy. Pressing X to activate the skill might result in a buzzer sound (if out of range of the intended target) or the skill will incorrectly target the object/character in front, not the enemy you intended. This can happen even if the attack icon appears above the enemy, giving a false impression of the target. It's important to note that the buzzer sound doesn't always indicate you are out of range; the blue grid lines must be on the intended target.
- 2Movement/Targeting Glitch: This glitch involves a character attempting to move past an adjacent ally and instead attacking that ally. For example, a character ('C') trying to move towards an enemy ('E') might attempt to jump over a very close ally ('A'). Instead of successfully moving past 'A', the character ('C') might slip back and attack 'A' directly. This is considered a glitch because if the player had intended to target 'A', the character would not have attempted to move past them first. Movement in the game can sometimes be inaccurate, especially when characters have objects or other characters positioned in a way that obstructs their path.
Tips
- Pay close attention to the blue grid lines when using skills, especially auto-targeting ones, to ensure you are targeting the intended enemy and not an object or ally in front of your caster.
- Be aware that the buzzer sound indicating an out-of-range attack might not always be reliable due to this targeting glitch.
- Understand that character movement can be imprecise, and adjacent allies can sometimes be accidentally targeted instead of being moved past.
