Should You Pull for Blade?
Blade is an amazing damage dealer who's tailored more for AoE damage. He also does not need to use a lot of SP, which makes your team comps more compatible with units who want to spam their Skills. Get Blade if you need a great AoE damage dealer!

This Blade build focuses on increasing his HP% and CRIT Damage to make the most out of his abilities and Traces.
Blade's damage scales better with HP% than ATK%, so try to get HP% stats when you can. Blade should have at least 5000 HP to activate the Bone Collection's Serene Demesne set's CRIT DMG buff.
Recommended Stat Values
| Stat | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| HP | 7000 or above |
| CRIT Rate | 70% - 80% (Out of combat) |
| CRIT DMG | 150% or above |
| SPD | Base SPD 1 SPD above Sunday/Bronya |
Blade only needs at least 70 - 80% CRIT Rate since Longevous Disciple will provide the remaining CRIT Rate he needs. As for his CRIT DMG, 150% should be enough for optimal damage.
As for Blade's SPD, you can have him at base SPD and rely on your Supports like Sunday or Bronya (with them having 160 SPD) to bring Blade in front of the turn order. You can also have his SPD higher than those supports for multiple turns in a cycle.
Blade Version 3.4 Buffs and Changes
Blade Buffs and Changes
| Changes | |
|---|---|
| General | Abilities have been changed to deal DMG based on Max HP. |
| Skill | After using the Skill, increases Blade's chance of getting hit. |
| Talent | Blade's Follow-up ATK additionally regenerates Energy. |
3.4 Character Buffs and Reworks
All Abilities Deal Damage Based on Max HP
Instead of having a portion of his scalings based on ATK, all of Blade's Abilities will now deal damage that's fully based on his Max HP.
Skill Improves Blade's Aggro Value
After the buffs, Hellscape will improve Blade's aggro and allow him to be targeted more by enemies. This allows him to build more stacks and get consistency with his Follow-Up Attacks.
Talent Regenerates Extra Energy
Blade's Follow-Up Attacks will now regenerate extra Energy, which helps him recharge his Ultimate more easily.
Blade's Best Team
Blade F2P Team (Free to Play)
| Sub-DPS | DPS | Support | Healer |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Blade
|
 Dan Heng
|
 Trailblazer (Ice)
|
 Lynx
|
This Free-to-Play Blade team will focus on keeping Blade alive and enhancing him through buffs. The Remembrance Trailblazer can increase Blade's DMG with True DMG and CRIT DMG buffs.
Lynx can heal Blade and increase his chances of being targeted by enemies, which will allow him to use his Follow-up Attack more frequently.
Blade Hypercarry Team
| DPS | Support | Support | Healer |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Blade
|
 Sunday
|
 Tribbie
|
 Hyacine
|
This Blade team comp is focused on enhancing Blade to become the Hypercarry of the party. Tribbie provides an All-Type RES PEN buff and additional DMG while Sunday focuses on buffing Blade through his Skill and Ultimate.
Hyacine is a great healer here because she can increase the party's Max HP. Lynx can be a 4-star alternative as she can increase Blade's chances of getting hit with her Skill, allowing Blade to use his Follow-up Attacks quickly.
| Alternative | Explanation |
|---|---|
 Bronya | Support Replacement Bronya provides turn advance and DMG buffs with her Skill. |
 Pela | Support Replacement Pela works great with Blade since she's able to apply AoE Debuffs on the enemy by reducing their DEF%. |
 Ruan Mei | Support Replacement Ruan Mei provides a SPD buff and increased Break Efficiency. |
 Sparkle | Support Replacement Sparkle can advance Blade's turn and provide CRIT DMG buffs through the use of her Skill. |
 Silver Wolf | Support Replacement Silver Wolf can inflict multiple debuffs on an enemy and implant a missing weakness. |
 Luocha | Healer Replacement Luocha can provide off-turn and consistent healing with his Talent. |
| Lynx | Healer Replacement Lynx can use her Skill to heal Blade and increase his chances of getting hit, which allows him to dish out his follow-up attack sooner. |
 Bailu | Healer Replacement The Alternative 5-Star Healer if you don't have Luocha. |
 Natasha | Healer Replacement A F2P healer alternative that's good enough to heal the entire party. |
Blade Sub-DPS Team
| Sub-DPS | DPS | Support | Healer |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Blade
|
 Castorice
|
Tribbie
|
 Gallagher
|
Blade can be a great Sub-DPS to pair up with other DPS units that can drain his HP, which can lead to more Follow-up attacks. Blade's HP consumption can also benefit characters like Castorice, who needs to consume party HP for her Ultimate.
| Alternative | Explanation |
|---|---|
 Jingliu | DPS Replacement Jingliu can consume Blade's HP during her Enhanced State. |
 Jade | DPS Replacement Jade can use her Skill on Blade to drain his HP and help him dish out his own Follow-up attacks at a faster rate. |
| Ruan Mei | Support Replacement Ruan Mei provides a SPD buff and increased Break Efficiency. |
| Bronya | Support Replacement For this team, we recommend Bronya to be at least Eidolon Level 1 for smoother rotations with her Skill Usage. Bronya can give an extra turn to either Blade or another DPS and can increase the entire party's CRIT DMG. |
 Robin | Support Replacement Robin can increase the party's DMG. Robin can also advance everyone in the turn order after using her Ultimate. |
 Huohuo | Healer Replacement Huohuo can cleanse debuffs through her Skill and restore energy to the entire party with her Ultimate. |
| Luocha | Healer Replacement Luocha can provide healing to both Blade and the other DPS. |
| Natasha | Healer Replacement The go-to F2P healer alternative. |
Blade's Best Relics and Ornaments
All Recommended Relics and Ornaments
| Relics | Rating & Merits |
|---|---|
 Longevous Disciple
x4
|
★★★★★ - Best Longevous Disciple is Blade's best Relic. This Relic has amazing synergy with Blade since he can trigger the 4pc. effect while it also increasing his HP%. |
Longevous Disciple
x2
 Eagle of Twilight Line
x2
|
★★★★☆ - 2nd Best A 2pc. combo of Longevous and Eagle of Twilight Line will be your go-to damage-dealing set while you're still farming for a full 4pc. Longevous Relic set. |
| Ornaments | Merits |
 Bone Collection's Serene Demesne
|
★★★★★ - Best Bone Collection's Serene Demesne is the best Ornament for Blade since he can easily get 5000 Max HP for the CRIT DMG buff. |
 Inert Salsotto
|
★★★★☆ - 2nd Best Inert Salsotto is Blade's second best Ornament. It outperforms Rutilant Arena if Blade has higher Eidolon levels. |
 Rutilant Arena
|
★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best Rutilant Arena is a great ornament especially if Blade is at E0 thanks to the CRIT Rate and Basic ATK buff. The value gets lower the more Eidolons are unlocked on Blade. |
Blade's Best Light Cones
All Recommended Light Cones
| Light Cone | Why We Recommend It |
|---|---|
|
The Unreachable Side
|
★★★★★ - Best Blade's Signature Light Cone provides CRIT Rate and HP%, both of which increase his damage output. This also increases Blade's DMG when he is attacked or consumes his own HP. |
 Dance at Sunset
|
★★★★☆ - Great A great 5-Star substitute that greatly increases Blade's aggro, which will let him dish out more Follow-up attacks. This increases his CRIT DMG and Follow-up Attack DMG. |
 A Secret Vow
|
★★★★☆ - Great A Secret Vow is Blade's best 4-star Light Cone at S5. It flat out provides more damage (at S5) than the Event Light Cone even if Blade's HP% is higher than the enemy. |
 Ninja Record - Sound Hunt
|
★★★★☆ - Great Ninja Record: Sound Hunt is a great Event Light Cone that provides Blade with CRIT DMG. The Light cone can out-damage an S4 Secret Vow (if the current HP% of an enemy is lower or equal to Blade). |
 Flames Afar
|
★★★☆☆ - Good A decent option for Blade if its at S5. Only slightly behind the Event Light Cone. |

Combat Traces
| Trace | Priority & Explanation |
|---|---|
| Basic Attack | ★★★★★ - Highest Priority Blade's Basic Attacks are his main damage-dealing tool. |
| Skill | ★★★★☆ - High Priority Improving his Skill increases his DMG from all sources. Leveling this trace should be your 2nd highest priority. |

Blade Gameplay Guide
Do Not Pair Blade with a Shielder
Blade's Talent ability requires him to either take damage or consume his own HP to build up charges. Having a shield prevents him from taking damage, so avoid pairing Blade with characters from the path of Preservation like Gepard or March 7th.
Use His Ultimate to Consume or Heal HP
Along with dealing damage, Blade's Ultimate has two core functions. One of them is for reaching max Cap of 90% total HP loss for increasing the damage of his Ultimate. The other is for using it as an emergency tool to bring him out of the brink of death.
Blade's Traces (Skills and Passives)
Active Abilities
| Trace | Scaling and Explanation |
|---|---|
| Talent | Shuhu's Gift: When Blade sustains DMG or consumes his HP, he gains 1 stack of Charge, stacking up to 5 times. A max of 1 Charge stack can be gained every time he is attacked. When Charge stack reaches maximum, immediately launches 1 Follow-up ATK on all enemies, dealing Wind DMG equal to 65% of Blade's Max HP. At the same time, restores Blade's HP by 25% of his Max HP. After the Follow-up ATK, all Charges are consumed. |
| Basic ATK | Shard Sword: Deals Wind DMG equal to 25% of Blade's Max HP to one designated enemy. Enhanced - Forest of Swords Consumes HP equal to 10% of Blade's Max HP and deals Wind DMG equal to 65% of his Max HP to one designated enemy. In addition, deals Wind DMG equal to 26% of Blade's Max HP to adjacent targets. If Blade's current HP is insufficient, his HP will be reduced to 1 when using "Forest of Swords." "Forest of Swords" cannot regenerate Skill Points. |
| Skill | Hellscape: Consumes HP equal to 30% of Blade's Max HP to enter the "Hellscape" state. While under the "Hellscape" state, his Skill cannot be used, his DMG dealt increases by 12%, the chance of receiving attacks from enemy targets greatly increases, and his Basic ATK "Shard Sword" is enhanced to "Forest of Swords" for 3 turn(s). If Blade's current HP is insufficient, his HP will be reduced to 1 when he uses his Skill. This Skill does not regenerate Energy. Using this Skill does not end the current turn. |
| Ultimate | Death Sentence: Sets Blade's current HP to 50% of his Max HP and deals Wind DMG to one designated enemy equal to the sum of 90% of his Max HP and 72% of the tally of Blade's HP loss in the current battle. At the same time, deals Wind DMG to adjacent targets equal to the sum of 36% of his Max HP and 36% of the tally of his HP loss in the current battle. The tally of Blade's HP loss in the current battle is capped at 90% of his Max HP. This value will be reset and re-accumulated after his Ultimate has been used. |
Technique and Bonus Abilities
| Trace | Scaling and Explanation |
|---|---|
| Technique | Karma Wind: Immediately attacks the enemy. After entering battle, consumes 20% of Blade’s Max HP and deals 40% of Blade’s Max HP as Wind DMG to all enemies. If Blade's current HP is insufficient, his HP will be reduced to 1 when this Technique is used.
Stat Bonus: 1. Max HP +4.0% |
| Bonus Ability | Cyclone of Destruction: Increases DMG dealt by the Talent's Follow-up ATK by 20%. Additionally regenerates 15 Energy.
Stat Bonus: 1. Effect RES +6.0% 2. CRIT Rate +5.3% 3. Max HP +8.0% |
| Bonus Ability | Neverending Deaths: HP restored from healing increases by 20%. After receiving healing, 25% of the healed amount will be converted to Ultimate's tally of HP lost.
Stat Bonus: 1. Max HP +6.0% 2. CRIT Rate +4.0% 3. Max HP +6.0% |
| Bonus Ability | Vita Infinita: When Blade uses Ultimate, the amount cleared from the tally of HP loss is changed to 50%.
Stat Bonus: 1. CRIT Rate +2.7% 2. Max HP +4.0% 3. Effect RES +4.0% |
Blade's Eidolons
Blade's Recommended Eidolons
| Why We Recommend It | |
|---|---|
| E1 | ★★★★☆ - Great Blade's E1 is a very good Eidolon that greatly increases his Basic ATK and Ultimate DMG. |
| E2 | ★★★★★ - Amazing Provides Blade with roughly Half a Main stat or 5 substats worth of CRIT Rate. This is a good stopping point if you are investing a bit of Stellar Jades towards Blade's Eidolons. |
| E4 | ★★★★☆ - Great Increases Blade's HP, which in turn increases his overall DPS. |
| E6 | ★★★★☆ - Great Improves Blades Talent by reducing the number of stacks you need to trigger it and increases its damage. |
All Eidolon Resonance Effects
| E1 | Blade Cuts the Deepest in Hell Blade's Enhanced Basic ATK and Ultimate deals additionally increased DMG to one designated enemy, with the increased amount equal to 150% of the tally of Blade's HP loss from his Ultimate. |
|---|---|

| E3 | Hardened Blade Bleeds Coldest Shade Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 10 |
| E4 | Rejected by Death, Infected With Life When Blade's current HP percentage drops from above 50% to 50% of his Max HP or lower, increases his Max HP by 20%. Stacks up to 2 time(s). |
| E5 | Death By Ten Lords' Gaze Skill +3 up to a maximum of Lv15. Basic ATK Lv +1 up to a maximum of Lv 10. |
