Elijah's ZAKU Phantom

Model Number: ZGMF-1001

A modified ZAKU Phantom was given to Serpent Tail member Elijah Kiel by Kaite Madigan after Kaite accidentally destroyed Elijah's customized ZGMF-1017 GINN. The most distinctive feature of Elijah's ZAKU Phantom is its Phase Shift armor, which changes the suit’s color from grey to red when activated. Unlike standard PS armor, Elijah's version activates only when he deems it necessary and is limited to specific sections of the mobile suit. These areas were selected based on an analysis of his combat style to cover vulnerabilities and help conserve energy.

Elijah's ZAKU Phantom is equipped with his signature head-mounted "buster sword" and can carry 3-tube "Pardus" missile launchers on its legs. Its shoulders can be fitted with beam cannons or other compatible gear instead of the standard shoulder shield and spike. However, doing so removes the beam tomahawk stored within the shield. The unit retains compatibility with the Blaze, Gunner, and Slash Wizard packs, though it is most often seen with a customized flight-capable Wizard.
