Where to find Hunter’s Insight
Hunter’s Insight item card
Hunter’s Insight is an accessory of type “Offensive”. Its effect line in the menu reads:
“Increases damage dealt and Sha-Chi depletion against attacking enemies by 7%”
The item description reads:
“A bronze pendant housing a crystal chip of unknown origin, capable of revealing the openings in an enemy’s attacks. A swordsman once roamed the Wulin with it at his side. Striking only after his opponents made their move, he slew countless enemies. Then one day, he encountered a band of Maskwalkers.”
How to polish Hunter’s Insight
Polishing (refining) Hunter’s Insight raises its bonus from 7% to 15%. After Polish 1, the effect line reads “Increases damage dealt and Sha-Chi depletion against attacking enemies by 15%”.
| Level | Bonus vs. attacking enemies | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Base | 7% | None |
| Polish 1 | 15% | 5,280 Remnant Dust + Tainted Crystal Shard |
You need a Tainted Crystal Shard for the polish. Quick Hand Zhang sells one for 7,440 Remnant Dust. Polishing only raises the numbers.
What Hunter’s Insight is good for
Hunter’s Insight adds damage and Sha-Chi depletion against enemies while they are attacking. That rewards counter-hitting instead of trading blows. It pairs naturally with good timing, and the guide on how to parry covers that side of combat. For other damage bonuses, see how to increase damage.
You start with three available accessory slots, which means Hunter’s Insight can be equipped as soon as you collect it. The full Phantom Blade Zero accessories list covers every other accessory, along with its effects and location.
