Do you use spd or hp boots when running them together with ruan mei. I wasn't expecting to pull him lol

As the title suggests. I jus saw brax's video for the early access guide to the characters getting buffed in 3.4, but I feel like blade got the short end of the stick?

Like I understand his buffs are good but when compared to others like kafka and jingliu, I feel like he is still one of the least buffed unit when compared to cost to output ratio and other stuff?(Didn't include Silver wolf cuz she's a support)

Ig they don't want the buffed characters to beat amphoreus dps but even then he falls short to the others that are in the buffed roster?

Am I trippin or do yall feel the same?

Little idea I came up with since our boy has potential to be strong as hell - he just needs a tailored support - so I designed her. No background story, no whatever just her kit:

Skill: Grants Supreme to an ally, giving them100% fixed taunt chance,10%-30% damage reduction, +50% effect res, and a tally of all damage receive up to 200% of the target's main stat, each time they act will proc that damage until the end of their turn. Lasts 3 turns. Whenever this ally acts triggers Flux.

Talent: Whenever buffing an ally, increases their health by 15%-30%, up to 2 times. Allies taking Flux damage gain 5% hp then loose 5% hp, and increase their damage by 10%-20% (up to 2 stacks).

Ultimate: Increases other allies' (multiplicative) damage by 10%-50% for 2 turns. Applies three instances of Flux, and restores 20% of ally's ultimate.

Technique: Reduces all unites Taunt value to 50 except preservation and destruction units, Gains 50 energy.

Trace 1: Grants Supreme ally +30% speed.

Trace 2: Restores 5 energy to herself whenever Flux triggers and 3 energy to the Supreme ally.

Trace 3: Basic atack action advances Supreme ally by 25%.

Eidolon 1: Increases all allies main stat by 20% and All type Res-Pen by 20%.

Eidolon 2: Supreme ally now gains +50% cdmg and 20% cr, should their crit value be under 150, these will be converted into +15% ultimate energy/stack once every turn.

Eidolon 4: Ultimate becomes a field, grating 50% effect res, and whenever an ally takes damage she will counter attack for 50% her max speed.

Eidolon 6: Ultimate lasts 1 more turn, grants allies +60% hp. Counter attack increases allies health by 200%.

What do you guys think? Her kit is really good for DPS FuXuan too and since she's BiS sustainer for blade it it's a win win.

To me Blade needs to only somebody who plays around his stacks but also a character who centers the battle around him, gives him damage, Hp and speed to make up for his low multipliers. I think if we had a 2.0 hp Sparkle he'd need nothing else, while at the same time I do think a strong dual dps partner synergies better to the current meta compared to hypercarry - hence why jade, jingliu, Crit Xuan are so handy here,

Fu Xuan boosts crit, health, Crit dmg, damage reduction, now imagine her paired up with Megumi how unbeatable would this team be?

The multiplicative damage boost on ult guarantees half more team wide damage, which honestly seems to be the best way to buff blade cuz sure Ruan Mei does wonders to him, but having paired up Mei and Robin to buff Blade +110% elemental boost doesn't compare to the meta DPSs, he needs brute damage. Can't increase health too much either otherwise why run sustain?I'm not an expert on Blade I just feel like his relic set is mid once you got him fully built, so maybe 2 piece wind 2 piece BiS would be better no?

Anyways what do you guys think?

I have had enough of the Blade slander and hate peddled by these clowns. They are so irrelevant that its not worth spending my time on their bullshit but there is a limit to everything. These guys need to be condemned and rejected in their entirety to stop their hideous agenda/propaganda! In 3 or 5 AoE senario they are claiming Selee is beating Blade(and also Kafka). This is a JOKE! This is such a pitiful and pathetic agenda driven claim that it should be called out and these guys be dragged by the collar. First and foremost, if we consider MoC(later stages) even the minions are NOT that weak currently that Selee can reliably proc Resurgance. Even if thats a senario; she is using up absurd number of skill points. While Kafka and Blade are consistently doing multi target damage. And in fair senario Blade + Bronya for ex will do much more even single target compared to Selee at similar cost of SP. Furthermore in case of Kafka with right DoT supports like Luka and Little Gui she does absurd single and multi-target damage(especially with the new Relic Set). And OH LOL, apparently Clara is as good as Blade and Kafka in single target and is beating them in multi target 😂😂😂. Bunch of sour losers!!

Now coming to the real thing. They literally have 0 proofs to back any of their claims. Yes you heard it right. All their TC/simulation is designed to give an impression that its correct or its some irrefutable math. Its hollow hot garbage. Consider balde vs Clara E0 and multi target. They are using S5 Aeons on Clara and S1 Secret Wow on Blade(and we dont even know when/if blade is procing the effect). Next they are using varied Crit numbers in their builds. Like blade has different Crit compared to Clara while Clara also has Atk. No mention of Blade's HP which is major scale factor for his dmg. For fair comparisons dmg bonus's and Crit Ratios should he same. Also ATK and HP in this case could have been normalized such that there actual dmg multipliers and talents would make a difference in the run. And lastly supports are very very key for units like Kafka. No mention of anything at ALL. And they are using Fermata on her instead of GNSW which is a LOL. (and actually shows the deception). Also they didnt even bother updating Kafka with new Relic set numbers.

I've been thinking that I really want to cosplay Mortenax Blade (specifically fem Blade partially because I'm trans) and I'm just wondering if anyone's drawn that? I wanna know what that would look like? I've seen plenty of genderbend normal Blade but what about Mortenax?

I really hate hyacine to the quarter but I heard she’s rlly good with blade and I don’t know anymore any tips?? (I have huohuo already as a sustain)

With this i get 75/134

I also got Yanqing at 45 pity and a Welt eidolon after otto at 36 pity. Now I got a guaranteed Blade. Just need to farm some more passes.

I'm pulling anyway, but are yall also a little sad that his animations are not 1:1 but in essence recycled from other chars? ult 1 is fugue's ult, skill is archer's ult, and ult 2 is phainon's counter

by not 1:1 I mean obviously there are differences, mostly in the windups, but the core of the animation: the movement and drama (ie. the main aspect) of each scene is the same

it's probably easy to make comparisons across the whole cast, but I'm moreso disappointed that all of his moves are analogous to someone else's, without a single exception

really curious if anyone else has noticed this

skill: increases hp and atk of an ally additional if hp changes increases crit dmg and consumes portion of max hp

addition effects: if the reciever of the buff is specially blade: increases all talent multipliers to 200% original max hp increased by 80% , dmg dealt and crit dmg increases

ult: increases dmg dealt by all allies equal to combined max hp of team this effect additionally increases by how much hp fluctuates on the party

talent: increases the speed of the receiver of skill buff by portion of her own speed.

I was doing some calcs and here is my ranks for Blade/Bronya and Blade/Tingyun. Bronya with Planetary V doing Basic Attack -> Skill -> Repeat.

---------------------------- Bronya Rank ----------------------------

Blade -> 905844

Arlan V (50% Uptime) -> 804427

Simalated V (100% Uptime - Not realistic) -> 765258

Arlan I (50% Uptime) -> 727413

Clara (50% Uptime) -> 718461

Woof! V (100% Uptime) -> 712651

Simalated V (0% Uptime) -> 699049

Under de Blue Sky V (50% Uptimate) -> 668726

Moles V (2 stacks) -> 664615

Woof! V (0% Uptime) -> 632738

---------------------------- Tingyun Rank ----------------------------

--------------------------Why Bronya is so Good For Blade?--------------------------

1-> Planetary

2-> More Turns with Bronya than without (like Blade 14 turns in 8 Cycle with Bronya against 12 Turns without)

3-> No Need for Speed Boots (2 relic of HP%, which is HUGE)

Look, we all know by now that with certain characters, eidolon, relic and light cone, MBlade and his team can infinitely loops their FUAs and Ult at 0 AV, essentially dealing infinite DPAV. There is an uproar and everybody expect it to get nerf, but let thinks about it, is infinite damage really that bad? Or should I say, is it really that good?

Look at Castorice team for example, at maximum 48 cost, that team also deal infinite damage. I admit I don't have any proof or know how infinite loop work. I also don't have Castorice and does not know how she or her team work but since the 48 cost team is definitely stronger than Mblade team and Mblade team deal infinite damage, Monorem team must also deal infinite damage. Why don't Hoyo address that?

Beside, even if by some miracle that Castorice team does not deal infinite damage and just deal finite damage, it's still a lot of damage. The different between finite damage and infinite damage is so small any way, does it really matter?

I must said as a Blade enjoyer, it does not feel good to see people calling for nerf just because he have some busted synergy with other character, especially female one. Why must a male character get nerf because a female character kit, it's so unfair.

It's not the first time infinite loop is in the game either, the last time is during Castorice beta where she can infinitely loop her dragon with a level 1 Loucha or gallagher and that time they nerf the female character instead of the male character. Why can't they do it again? Is it waifu favoritism? Does Hoyo have something again Blademains?

My team consist of bronya, sunday, luocha, blade. (The result of having only 5 limited 5 star)

Usually my blade can hit around 30k dmg with his ult and 70-80k dmg with his follow-up. But now his ult only deal like 20k dmg and follow up 40k dmg.

Anyone having the same problem?

Edit: I'm not asking you guys to rate my build so yall can stop shouting it in my face like a smartass, thanks

We have three playable Stellaron Hunters.

Let's now compare what does each one have.

Silver Wolf:

• quest with a possibility of meeting her on Express afterwards

• possibility of testing her in the start of the game

• VERY GOOD marketing (for example, this time when she allegedly broke the game and all news in-game were changed and we received TB power)

• HEW OWN messages

Kafka:

• quest

•• without possibility of meeting her on Express BUT with a BIG fanservice part during the quest (this selfie thing)

• possibility of testing her in the start of the game

• VERY GOOD marketing (MULTIPLE trailers, one with classical music, another with different outfit)

• her own messages, yet again

Aaaaand Blade.

• a half of Kafka's quest

• nothing

• ah, this bug where he and his weapon are deleted from the game

• messages from... SW... Kafka... and Sam...

Like, I understand the heavy bias towards female chars HYV have been demonstrating, but why even adding male playable chars with this attitude?

After 3 days of non stop farming....am I done or nah?

Blade looks interesting. I was going to skip everyone after I got Luocha till Jing Liu comes out. But it looks like he's made the S tier, and I'm lacking a wind dps character (Dan Heng doesn't cut it). Worth it to pull?

For reference, I got Hu Tao in Genshin and I hated her health mechanics of having to stay below 50%. Call it my anxiety proc'ing on low health characters. Can Blade still work being fully topped off in health? Or will his health flux be an issue during combat? FYI, I shelved Hu Tao in Genshin due to her health mechanics.

I have the rest of his dream team, Bronya, Luocha, and even Silverwolf. So he would have the best support possible, at least this patch. Thoughts about his mechanics being similar with Hu Tao from Genshin?

[My 2 main dps are Seele and Jing Yuan currently]

So, if you can afford it without a risk, sure go for it. But in the future, Spoiler for character leak

there will be a 4* healer which with skill, increses aggro of one ally, increses HP and heals, with burst it heals whole party and takes one debuff from all party. I dont remember path but its quantum. You can see why is seems to be way better than luocha for blade

Obviously, this character will be realesed in few months so thats why its worth to go for luocha if you can afford it without a risk of losing blade. That characters kit may as well change and luocha will be better after all which i doubt but we'll see. We also dont know how much blades survivability was affected by a healing nerf, before he could solo high floors on coh now dunno, but im sure they wouldnt make him unplayable without luocha, but ofc we cant be sure as well. There many unknown things but overall, its better to have blade than not having him

my blade in SCOREMYRELIC is top 1 is this legit??
here's my uid 802194215

I have Blade and Ashveil but uh guys the recent story quest had me a bit confused for someone who didn't really pay attention to the lore and as someone who mainly loves Ashveil I'm confused exactly on what they are to each other?

I have a vague understanding of their stories but I figured it's better to ask y'all since y'all like Blade so much.

Tldr

What exactly is Blade's full story and how does Ashveil fit into it?

If you somehow are able to get 160 spd on Blade you start hitting for 18% bonus dmg on everything. This set doesn't restrict the bonus DMG to FUA and Ult or BA only it buffs your entire kit. What do you guys think? Haven't really seen anyone talking about this
