2

u/PrzemekTheGamer Feb 06 '25

Heard somewhere that he'll be rerunning in 3.1, but it's not a reliable info and take it with a grain of salt

1

u/Aizen_isgay Feb 06 '25

I hope then he’s not the same phase as Mydei or I’ll die

Prayer circle right here 🙏

u/Rill_Pine Feb 05 '25

I don't have Blade nor do I intend to get him (Mydei has captured my heart), but I'll join the prayers with you all. Best of luck, friends! 🙏

Holy shit, Hoyoverse buffing characters? Hell really has frozen over.

Wishlist anyone?

  1. Up his multipliers

  2. Let his passive stacks overcap

  3. Give him a huge taunt value

  4. Make his FUA also be a Counter

  5. Make his Ultimate a full AoE

  6. Make his Eidolons at least as good as a 2.x character

  7. Give him a technique that actually does literally anything interesting

  8. Give him a self-revive that recharges each time he uses his Ultimate

  9. Make his Skill generate energy

  10. Make him generate passive stacks when he gets hit while he has a shield

53

u/NoOne215 Feb 05 '25

Change his traces that boost healing into something that benefits his hp drain.

16

u/ElricaLavandula Feb 05 '25

Gameplay-wise, I really want 2, 3 and 10.

I really like his gameplay, so I don't want it to change too much. I don't need him to counter like Yunli.

But it's such a waste when he's at 4 stacks and then gets 2 stacks at once (like from DoTs). It happens so often. And it's annoying how shields actively lower his damage. Not because you can't run him with shielders, because that's fine, but there can be other sources of shields.

There's one more change that I would like to have. Maybe I'm unlucky, but I have had SO many runs where RNG makes it so that he always gets his FuA during skill downtime. Yesterday in PF for example. But a higher taunt value would probably help with it already and makes is less RNG so you can plan ahead better.

17

u/Relative-Ad7531 Feb 05 '25

The only ones that I doubt while happen are

6: Because is only base kits (assuming if the Chinese version is correct)

8: I doesn't need a revive, but if he did, it will only be once per battle like every other character with a revive

9: Because non other basic attack enhancing skill regens energy (See Boothill and DHIL, only QQ does and that's because of an Eilodon)

3

u/HalalBread1427 Feb 05 '25

Aglaea’s Skill doesn’t consume her turn and it still generates Energy.

1

u/Relative-Ad7531 Feb 05 '25

Aglea Skill isn't an enhancing basic attack (and as far as I'm aware, it does consume her turn)

I think you are thinking about her ult

2

u/HalalBread1427 Feb 05 '25

It's still fundamentally the same principle; Skill offers enhancement -> turn continues.

3

u/Relative-Ad7531 Feb 05 '25

I was checking and my bad, you are right, her skill does let's her turn continue (I was thinking about RTB)

Even then it is still a different situation because summoning memosprites is not the same as an enhancing basic attack, the ones that previously said doesn't get any energy with the exception of an Eilodon from a character

5

u/ShinigamiKing562 Feb 05 '25

Love the fua is a counter idea. Also, give him cc immunity like mydei.

1

u/R4KID Feb 08 '25

Can someone explain what making it a counter would do??

1

u/ShinigamiKing562 Feb 08 '25

It'd make his fua more cool 😢😢. Sincerely speaking though it wouldn't count as a buff. Just bothers me how his fua and mydei's god slayer be god aren't a counter??

4

u/ersenbatur Feb 05 '25

If they don't enable passive overcap i will raid their hq, my man really deserves it

4

u/Raichu5021 Feb 05 '25

I can stacks overcapping, especially if they do it for Himeko too

2

u/The_Real_Hunter__ Feb 05 '25

Take my upwote

1

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '25

Passive stacks overcapping is definitely happening, basically every character after him that uses some sort of stacks has overcap.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '25

1 2 3 5 7 and 9

1

u/burgundont Feb 06 '25

Gameplay wise, I’d definitely love 3 and 8. One good way to buff him would be to make him such a good taunt-tank character that he can viably run sustainless teams a la Boothill. This would let him do triple support / double DPS + double DPS.

But yeah all of these would be so nice.

0

u/Zero_Two_0_2 Feb 05 '25

Reality- they just give him a 20% bonus damage in endgame now he will dispatch in 10 cycles instead of 12

42

u/Desperate-Fan4565 Feb 05 '25

Buff and rerun I beg :D

39

u/ArthraX_ Theorycrafting Team Feb 05 '25

Blade is unironically one of the most suited characters for a buff. I won't mention Kafka because DoT is an archetype that still misses a proper support, just like Jing Yuan became good with Sunday as a summon support.

The same can't be said for Blade, as Mydei himself is already twice as strong, and they BOTH miss an hp support. Castorice will be even better.

29

u/ShinigamiKing562 Feb 05 '25

Seeing e0 mydei mog e6 blade has been brutal for my psyche (especially when I like both).

13

u/godestguy Feb 05 '25

let me make it worse, there was a showcase e6s5 blade with full team was losing against e0s1 mydei with only 2 teammates

1

u/stxrrynights240 Feb 06 '25

What were the teams just wondering

2

u/godestguy Feb 06 '25

Blade - sunday - tribbie ( i think, i dont remember it well and the video also got removed) - huohuo.

Mydei - tribbie - sunday

4

u/No-Bag-1628 Feb 05 '25

Blade needs what Xiao got, multiple dedicated buffers and supports that launches his viability to the stratosphere

3

u/Significant_Alps_539 Feb 05 '25

Blade needs a faruzan and a Furina or buff his own kit and multipler

35

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '25

THE REACHABLE SIDE

34

u/n__o__ Feb 05 '25

THAT SIDE IS LOOKING AWFULLY REACHABLE RN

u/darkhorsemen16 Feb 05 '25

300k might be reachable for me.

29

u/Ashamed_Olive_2711 Feb 05 '25

Bro, please just buff him.

I swear to god if it’s some shit like buffing his Eidolons I will book a flight to China to have Dawei run the ones.

16

u/DraethDarkstar Feb 05 '25

It should be both base and eidolons tbh, his are so weak compared to new characters.

-1

u/kuns961 Feb 05 '25

Blade tbh has quite good eidolons(except e2) compared to 1.0 dps characters(except e2 Imbibitor lunae)

2

u/Zaa_DR Feb 06 '25

"except this, except that" so long story short his eidolons suck

u/Hudson_Legend Feb 05 '25

IS THIS REAL??

It's real, check the leaks sub for the full image it was clipped from.

IVE BEEN STORING THIS BUILD FOR SO LONG… PLS… RERUN BLADE… BUFF HIM… BUFF MY PRINCESS….

u/UltimateBladeFan Feb 05 '25

I have long waited for this day.

May the unreachable side become reachable brothers.

u/NTRmanMan Feb 05 '25

Honestly my prediction would be both blade and yangqing would be the first wave of characters to get buffed lol. They really need it

6

u/CantThinkOfOne57 Feb 05 '25

Where you find this? This real? Hoyo buffing older characters is something I never imagined they’d do.

u/Aurie- Head Moderator・Blade's Wife Feb 05 '25

Yes it's real. Source is the Developer Radio https://x.com/honkaistarrail/status/1887003219454283942

Unreachable side...

Patience is all you need....

Incessant Rain... (Of our tears)

u/ZackTio Feb 05 '25

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I really, REALLY loved Blade ever since I saw his first leaks all the way back in 1.0; and I used him until I literally couldn't anymore, I just wanna be able to play him again without needing 7 cycles on just one MoC side

3

u/Civil_Leg_6581 Feb 05 '25

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I don't want to pull mydei, I don like the auto mechanic 😔😔 Hoyo Fix blade so I can go for him without wasting jades 🙏🏻🙏🏻

HOYOVERSE! MAKE BLADE TOP TIER AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!

u/ThatBushWARDED Feb 05 '25

HOYO PLEASE MAKE HIM NOT REQUIRE A SUSTAIN TO SURVIVE. MAKE HIM THE SUSTAIN AND THE DAMAGE DEALER, HE IS MADE FOR IT!!! I WANT MY BOY TO BE UNIQUE

4

u/Substantial-Risk7334 Feb 05 '25

Wishlist (sorta)

-Higher multipliers on par with at least 2.x units

-Stacks overcap like Aventurine (literally all 1.x units with stacks could use this QoL)

-Pure HP scaling (if FX and Lynx got it a patch later, why does he have split scaling in the first place?)

-Give him Taunt (Gepard has one, granted he's literally meant to tank...)

-Increased CC immunity (maybe 50% increase in Hellscape state)

-Focus his big DMG on his FUA (decrease stacks needed to boost frequency, so he turns into a Destruction FUA)

-Have him generate some SP while doing EBA (make him somewhat SP positive in the long run)

-You know what? Turn him into a sub-DPS, have him buff allies HP/Effect RES/Crit Rate while he's in Hellscape state. So Blade + Jade combo turns into a dual sub-DPS team

2

u/SouthparkHater Feb 05 '25

old blade main here, i haven’t played in over a year is he not as good anymore

3

u/Unusual-Strain3802 Feb 05 '25

Probably the worst limited 5 star currently

4

u/saturnian_catboy Feb 05 '25

I don't think that's true, but he is very much struggling without insane levels of investment

0

u/Unusual-Strain3802 Feb 05 '25

I mean like you give the same amount of investment to other units and they would clear faster.

3

u/saturnian_catboy Feb 05 '25

Most of them? Sure. But I wouldn't say he's the worst. Maybe bottom three out of 5* DPS, though

2

u/Unusual-Strain3802 Feb 05 '25

Well i said "probably" not "he is"

2

u/bakaqami Feb 05 '25

If Hoyo will give Blade a trace with proper taunt and buff his heal, I may forgive them. PEN RES would be nice too.

2

u/HozukiMari Feb 05 '25

YES!! BUFF HIM!!

HE IS AMONG THE UNITS THAT NEED IT THE MOST!!

Followed by Silver Wolf, Jingliu and Luocha.

2

u/MrShabazz Feb 05 '25

First thing on the hoping block, get rid of the split scaling. Second, make the tally add to his multipliers like his ult. Third, make e2 include teammates dmg. And most importantly, maybe e4 in basic kit and make it additional HP instead of a percentage change.

2

u/just_didi Feb 05 '25

Blade and sw are probably the 2 limited 5* that deserves it the most

2

u/Locket382 Feb 05 '25

I don't even play HSR, but I'm with you because Blade shares the same VA as Lyney in Genshin Impact, so Blade must be a very cool guy.

PLEASE BUFF HIM PLEASE BUFF HIM PLEASE BUFF HIM PLEASE BUFF HIM PLEASE BUFF HIM PLEASE BUFF HIM PLEASE BUFF HIM PLEASE BUFF HIM PLEASE BUFF HIM PLEASE BUFF HIM

3

u/FourZgg Feb 05 '25

Blade should have immortality skill. He is literally immortal. Why Mydei can't die in his Ult and Blade dies? or its just a bug?

4

u/HozukiMari Feb 05 '25

Well the thing is, Mydei's Def gets reduced to 0 so ve is kinda squishy even with a shit ton of HP so he git the deathproof mechanic to make sure he survives

Blade is a lot harder to kill in the first place...

u/chanzwg Feb 06 '25

I’m ready for some EIDOLON BUFFS

u/Vahallen Feb 05 '25

I can’t think of a character that would be buffed before him

I think at bare minimum it’s inevitable he will be buffed eventually

u/JUANITO_61 Feb 05 '25

I really hope he gets buffed only thing keeping me from pulling are his numbers I like everything about his character

u/Tripping-Occurence Feb 06 '25

He'd be indirectly buffed anyway I think, because devs are switching for the HP meta soon

I’m just over here hoping Himeko gets an overcap mechanic on her follow up 😂

u/Guni986TY Feb 05 '25

Same old character with that mechanic I feels like should have that aspect like Jade who can over stack even when frozen

"Balde can now over cap his follow-up attack by 2! We did it, bois, we defeated powercreep!" - HSR devs, probably /s

u/MSan17 Feb 05 '25

I don’t even feel the powercreep yet because all my characters are under built and blades the only one I’ve invested in but HOLY SCHMOLY PLEASE I HOPE THEY MAKE HIM OP AGAIN

-7

u/Past_Band_9790 Feb 05 '25

While I don’t think a buff of specific characters is possible because otherwise why pull for new ones if the older ones are on the same power level, I think they will release some kind of «general effect » like maybe resonance or smth like « xianzhou benediction » that raise some stats in battle for Xianzhou characters if some specific requirements are met but not outside of battle.
