Blade main here, run him with Bronya and Sparkle/Robin/RuanMei/Sunday when he's released with Gallagher or luocha with quid pro quo so you never run out of sp for bronya and Sunday sparkle robin etc only basic attack with Gallagher or luocha, Gallagher gives +2 sp with good ult timing ult after basic attacking. Run 136 Blade with -2 bronya or 97 Blade with 160+ bronya or 101 Blade with 99 bronya. For autobattle run luocha not Gallagher and only 1 advancer with either Ruan mei or robin.

>>205 No, Bronya is still best for Blade, but only when played as hyperspeed and SP is used every turn. The damage difference is quite close though.

>>206 On paper, yeah. Remember though that preservation characters have the highest base aggro. If you're going up against enemies that deal a lot of single target attacks, Fu Xuan might not be a good pairing with Blade.

what is that f2p team bruh 😭 boy gotta keep traumatising Dan Heng wherever he is

I think fu xuan is a better sustain for blade tbh, Luocha cleanse dot that make blade doesn't get extra stack when his turn begin

>>182 As of the time of writing this; HP orb is stictly better, without question, in every scenario with Blade's current best supports (Bronya/Sparkle and Ruan Mei). Also hot take; Sparkle overall is better damage for Blade over Bronya, simply put, Sparkles buffs are permanent and linger after Blades turn ends, unlike Bronya where her ultimate only has 2/3rds uptime and the skill damage boost (unless you have e6 lmao) ends as soon as Blade's turn ends ruining his talent damage half the time.

>>203 i would change robin for a debuffer like pela for example but overall looks good!

Bladie, lynx, robin & bronya. It's good team?

>>187 Meta slave

>>198 135 speed is better than HP boots but you need to have good rng with speed substats in order to have 4/2 turns in 1 cycle but if you have sparkle just go with HP boots

>>194 You can use Lynx, her Skill makes enemies hit Blade and he works great as a tank. Blade also likes to get Hit. for the Harmony, Tingyun works good if you don't have Bronya. Sparkle is also good if you have her.

>>198 I have Blade and I think good amount of HP is 6k-7k but 6.5k should be the minimum if you are using a 5 lightcone. 134 SPD is recommended if you are thinking about giving him SPD. However, you don't need any SPD if you are using Bronya or Sparkle, instead build Bronya or Sparkle with 145+ SPD.

>>196 I have blade in another account so don't mind my stupid question, but how much exactly does he need to have? Since I see people building him full hp (even though I don't know if that's the right way), idk if I should go for spd or hp boots for example. Either way, how much is the minimum for him to be decent?

ngl blade carried me through gold and gears and swarm disaster

>>187 I have hit upto 200k with him in his burst in normal world without SMU buffs,Its your own skill issue,Blade's synergy with Jingliu and various dps are too good,You are just having skill issues

>>194 Nah, Blade pretty much needs Bronya. Plus, you want enemies to hit him to stack his charges. Welt would just get in the way and stall enemies. Good characters to pair with him without a Bronya would be Jingliu and Pela/SW.

Can i instead use welt just for support replacement of bronya?

>>182 rope hp

>>191 No, her best partner would be Kafka, followed by any dot support units. Bronya isn't ideal to use with Black Swan.

would he pair well with black swan? i dont have bronya
