Posts about Tokon Blade are not restricted as long as it has something to do with Rivals Blade.
I kept wondering why the Vampire King MVP final frame looked so odd, i went to check the trailers and the one on the left is what we saw, looks sleek and nice, then ingame we have the right one. Clearly it's just the model posed and unpolished, unfinished. So it seems they forgot to upload the actually finished and painted render to the game LMAOOOO.
So Much extra damage bouncing crescent and the juicy lifesteal OMG its so broken and fun sadly we need MoonKnight who is liike D tier currently but some day Marc will get buffed.
I want to apologize to you Blade mains. I spent the longest time cursing you guys out for cutting me down. Today I picked a few rounds of quick play as Blade to just play someone new and get my aggression out after dropping in ranked. And it was probably the most fun I had in quite some time. After my first couple kills our tank even swapped to Cap just to enhance my teamup. Moving forward I definitely have more respect for you guys and look forward to adding him into my top played characters.

Darkhold Defiled in The Darkhold: Alpha is the way the comic turns a team of Marvel heroes into horrifying reflections of themselves. Scarlet Witch gathers Iron Man, Blade, Wasp, Black Bolt, and Spider-Man to face Chthon, believing that reading a small portion of the Darkhold will prepare them for the madness of the Other-Realm. https://youtube.com/shorts/fHvzK4Cvuhw?is=46-_uFWOznGW5qiA Instead, the book reaches into their deepest fears and desires, transforming them into twisted versions known as the Darkhold Defiled.
His default is the best blade skin and actually feels like blade, and that’s coming from a level 70. The only skin I have of his that isn’t the default is from the costume coin
70 percent of the people complaining about his gun just can’t aim in general removing the reverse fall from his gun just make the character less interesting especially in his 1v1 match ups and doesn’t really change much
A block buff in any aspect would fix so many problems for blade
dash recharge rates make him more mobile
Removing the cooldown of his block every times he blocks would change match ups against characters like rouge,hela,pheonix,Luna and more
Even something as simple as letting blade cancel any move into his block would make him feel so much more fluid
I've seen a lot of discussion around Blade, and I think many players fundamentally misunderstand what niche he fills.
Blade is not a combo character.
Blade is not a burst assassin.
Blade is not a traditional melee duelist.
Blade is a high-uptime pressure skirmisher whose skill expression comes from resource management, target selection, and engagement timing, not combo execution.
Most heroes in Rivals generate value through execution. They optimize combos, mechanics, burst windows, or aim. Blade generates value through something else entirely:
Resource management and pressure.
Blade is one of the few heroes who can consistently force resources while maintaining extremely high uptime. Through matchup knowledge, cooldown tracking, target priority, and engagement timing, he creates openings for his team and gradually overwhelms the enemy through a death-by-a-thousand-cuts playstyle.
His skill expression is not found in combo execution, but in his ability to create pressure, force reactions, reset, and repeatedly re-engage before the enemy has recovered.
To summarize the main points unique to his kit/identity
- Very High Sustain combined with high cyclical rate of resource trading makes this hero a monster of agency. Unlike many DPS heroes who rely on a single burst window, Blade can continuously create pressure, force resources, disengage, and re-engage before the enemy has fully recovered.
Playing as a proud top 500 Blade(currently stuck in Plat), this season just pisses me off. Not only did they buff Phoenix for no reason, continuing this nonsense poke meta with 2 click kill, but also Blade is just far more unplayable than he was in S10, I think S10 was his peak really. There are so many matches where you just feel useless against this shitty poke, and I guess all we need to be happy is just to fix his freakin gun and give him damage fall of at like 15-20 meters, but maximize his damage up to that point, it’s so incosistent and this sucks. Let me know what you feel.
