Blade is so sick. Btw this guide took a lot longer to make & trim (originally it was like 34 mins lmao) I'll try to be faster for my next guides, but I hope you enjoyed the detail! Also: you can run HP% Sphere can be ok if no Wind Sphere/much better substats (or if you want to be tankier, although that generally isn't needed). & At 16:27 Arlan's LC buffs you if enemies are lower HP% (i said higher by accident)
@@Slackerhunharmony has bigger aggro damage than other path.. even if you put gepard with landau's choice LC on him and tingyun in one team.. mostly,, the enemy will ignore the passive from the gepard LC
@@victorcartagena8524 SPOILERS that doesnt make sense tho.. if she’s actually evil then why would enemies attack her? they should be siding with her or something
I noticed you repeat yourself way less in this video, then in the previous ones, even before you mentioned it. Great work, love the guide! And to be clear, it's ok (in my opinion) to repeat some info, like you did. It's just tricky to not overdo it. And here it felt balanced.
You probably just a misspoke but bronyas ult does not give crit rate, just the crit damage and attack that you mentioned. Thanks Mr. Socks for the very consistently calm content
yeah it's just crit damage (and ATK) -- damn i literally noticed that and re-recorded it in the same clip but must've edited it wrong, my bad idk how that got past the editing process lmao edit: i will trim out the 1 time it is mentioned it on UA-cam editor so should upload a bit. information corrected. world saved.
lynx is probably the better healer for blade once she is out cause her heal makes enemies target the healed ally like marches shield and she increases max hp of healed allies which is all blade wants.
but that costs a skill point. in practice, blade being targeted/hit by enemies is enough to stack his follow up. also there's a lot of enemies that have both imaginary and wind weakness to them than both wind and quantum so i think luocha is still better
@@mike_ewul the buff lasts 2 turns making her skill point neutral and gives regen. her heal while building solid health is around 2700 similar to a full attack luocha with field up. An aoe cleanse and additionally negates one debuff. And about the weakness 6 enemies are wind quantum and 10 are wind imaginary, the few quantum wind ones are elites and bosses that you see more.
If you want to min max then she is much better but Loucha or any other healer is fine. I wouldn't build her specifically for Blade unless you just have a massive pile of resources. It doesn't bring him up a tier or anything. Also with how many bosses or AOE Blade gets his talent fine in most casses.
Nothing wrong with taking extra time to make sure your guides come out the best they can be, shows you greatly care about the quality of your production. Love your guides and videos, pretty much my go to xD
I just came back to HSR and got him on my like 14th pull after getting "secret vow" on a 50/50 lmao. Every single account of mine on gacha games are stacked. HSR has himeko blade and daddy ying jun(i forgot his name) my genshin one has... 8 F2P 5 stars.
I’ve got 2 copies of him in one 10 pull, spent 40 pulls total. Lost 75% on his cone and get it in the next pull at 30 total. Guess I’ve used all my luck for the next 30 years 😢
I had 50/50 after getting Luocha, but after trying him in events - I caved in, after saying I'll pull on his rerun, and got him on 34 pity from free shop pulls. I am not going for his weapon to save it for Dan Heng's one, as I hope he will come home as I wanted them both :")
How much speed did you run on Blade and Yukong? I’m considering running this team since I don’t have Bronya but I’m intimidated by the speed tuning haha
@@bluevip3015 I've placed Yukong's speed highest of all my team mates and found that even with turn orders changing, she remained on top. I've tried placing her last and my dps fastest and got mixed results often, especially at new waves. I've parked Luocha at 120, so I'd put Blade above that. Even 121 is fine (which my Selee is) Yukong is at 135, so that she's also faster than other supports in other teams (Tingyun at 134 for example since she basic attacks often). I've put Yukong's signature light cone on Ting and Ting's in Yukong. Yes, it not optimal but it's been the most consistent. Such a rotation also allows for good sp management because if Yukong uses the last one, Ting/other support will generate one before the dps goes.
@@bluevip3015 Honestly like none on Blade and 120 on Yukong. I usually run Blade, Yukong, Luo and Gep, it works out so that he always goes after her for me
Zyox is truly a treasure. One gloomy Saturday night I was walking down the street by myself. And then suddenly Xiangling came out from an alley and jumped me. "Guoba, break his leg!", she shouted. I was terrified. But then Zyox came out of nowhere to use the Blade's passive: "Swordy Sword" to cut through reality itself and saved me from harm. Thank you Zyox. Truly one of the strimmers of all time
Did you see the trick that you can get the pseudo-Resurgence turn with Blade? Blade E (don't auto attack with enhanced auto) -> Bronya/Ting ult/ any damage ult right away -> back to Blade and attack with enhanced ability from E. This lets Blade get an extra turn of the dmg buff because he doesn't take his turn after auto attacking with the enhanced auto attack but instead his turn ends after using his E. It seems like very strong manipulation of turn order / action value and I think is big dps gain for Blade. Works same way with QQ too.
Actually, the dmg diff between a crit/wind dmg build and a full HP build is very very small and maxxing HP helps a lot with survivability. It means that these 2 builds are equally good
Yep just prioritise what you want, if you want see big giga chad numbers then go for Wind% but if you want survivability especially against MoC bosses who hit like trucks then the extra tankiness of HP% is most certainly welcome
@@citrusquill7609 the thing is, the dmg itself isn't actually significantly lower with a full HP build. Blade gets tons of dmg bonus and crit stats from his kit, relics and supports. The fact that a max HP build has added survivability gives it an edge
@@aleksandar2046 I know but the wind% still beats it by not that much. Still I have a HP% sphere with HP%, Speed, Crit Rate and Crit Damage for sub stats on my Blade right now and I believe I have a God roll on sub stats
@@citrusquill7609 you can't have hp% substat on an hp% mainstat piece 😅 but I get what you're saying. And yes that definitely sounds like a cracked sphere and I hope to my blade over to an hp sphere soon
Just as a little fyi for Blade stans, 1.3 second banner will be huge for you because that's where the 4* character Lynx will be released. Lynx will 100% be the best in slot healer for Blade since she can increase Blade's taunt value, meaning enemies will attack him for often.
@@soumya9484not one hundred percent cause leaks but 1.3 is fu xuan and imbibitor lunae( Dan Heng 2.0). Both of them look pretty strong so either way you get a strong char.
Lynx gives not only taund. Obviously heals when you get carried away a little with Blade self-damage. BUT Lynx boost up max HP for 3 turns just for 1 skill point, AND boost ATK if you have eidolons on her.
As someone who quit right after they got Blade (got distracted with college prep and work) this is so helpful for me to focus on my blade now that im coming back to the game! Thank you for all the guides you do and all the time you take to understand all these character kits.
Zyox you truly have unspeakable rizz. Your streams are calm, you never make mistakes in your rotation, your charismatic and my xiao is actually friendship 12 and he’s 30ft tall so I agree xiao is not short.
im very happy with him! for me, his biggest selling point is his simple playstyle. because he consumes so few sp, its just very easy to get the most out of him in any fight.
@@starboyibz Not at all. Specially live service games. The game starts with a big initial amount of content, but the rate at which it gains new content through updates is fixed, and new players will always have to eat through the entire stockpile of content to reach the new content. Genshin is the same. Updates that don't drop a new region are pretty small, but it doesn't mean as much when there is a ton of pre-existing content for most players to manage.
I kid you not, you’re the only content creator that people ask for advice who has actually seemed to realize the distinction with not wanting to use a shielder with Blade. I was literally in a stream yesterday where someone asked about teams and the streamer recommended Gepard??? I was so confused, especially since even if you don’t realize he wants to take damage, his traces literally incentivize taking a healer!
I would want to pull for him mainly since his playstyle reminds me of Hu Tao even though like you said there's a difference, I got some new information from this guide but I still need to see how Dan Heng will be although I can tell that managing skill points may be a problem (the scalings from it seems op). Although Blade damage don't seem that high compared to hunt characters like Seele for example and possibly Jing Yuan passive, his skill point management is more coinvent while his damage is somewhat consistent for a bruiser compared to Jing Yuan who waits for his passive, but 2 of his main supports for his optimal team are expensive like Bronya for example if you can get her compared to Seele teams who can basically use any harmony support
Dragon Heng ult (and passive I think too to some extent) gives he 3 charges he can spend instead of skill points, so his kit is going to be around managing that. An ER rope is starting to sound like a good idea on him. I'll probably get him on the rerun though cause Blade drained me ;)
@@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi yea I think imma skip blade for now and go for Dan Heng (after I see the reviews just to be safe) especially since I got Jing Yuan for a second team who I guess is good enough for now although I barely had any luck with his relics plus I don’t got his signature light cone
@@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi Correction, his ult gives 2 charges, his E2 adds a third for a free Dragon Leap AND advances his action forward 100%. DHIL will be meta defining, and his E2 will make him go absolutely wild.
@@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi Happy to help. Knowledge is power so we can all save Jade appropriately. As a little extra sauce, Herta's Store LC Fall of an Aeon might be as good or better than his signature LC, unless they buff his LC of course. So if you wanna go deep for DHIL you might as well aim for E2 before his LC.
Was talking to my friend about how good blade was to the point where he can solo SU. So i showed him, got Disciplinary Flicker on second blessing. His jaw dropped when he kept healing and not dying. He wants him now.
I just won my 2 50 50 in a row didn't expect to get blade at all and was hoping to lose 50 so I can pull for black swan but I am happy :) cause I wanted blade for a long time
Not sure if any of you would agree, but I've found that Blade in a team with Welt, Bailu and Yukong has been insane. I've tried the other comps too, but for me I've found this to be the best 🤷
I see a lot of people not noticing that Blade actually advance his turn forward a 100% when he uses his skill, which is why you think Luocha heals him mid-turn and this is another reason why running him with Bronya or any other harmony character might need a little bit of planning here and there to make it work properly, it's not as straightforward as some people are making it look like.
I just used gepard with him so that I can guarantee blade's hp to 1 without worrying the risk of dying, he consumes his hp every turn so I dont have to worry about talent stack the downside though is that it takes so long to stack up his talent
There is a Blade 4 star light cone which boosts your attack and when you defeat an enemy you restore a % of your max HP. It's quite useful tbh. I don't have Blade yet as he is gonna be back in 1.6
Wow! Mr socks used Loucha with blade throughout the entire video maybe i should look into the loucha guide to create a blade and loucha team . Oh ! Wait KEKWait
Yukong actually feels decent with blade because of the skill point balance. I play himeko blade yukong and it feels quite good because follow up attacks and burst doesn’t consume yukong charge.
Use bronya if you can. Yukong provides atk% and it's useless for him. I know she also provides cr and cdmg but that's like 3-4 turns. Defense shred might be better if you dont have bronya. Pela can be good for that
@@icarus2679 I play both Pela and Yukong with him. It works and I dont have Bronya. The overall buffs during a fight that Yukong gives Blade are better than Tingyun from what I have noticed, which is why I prefer Yukong for him. Ofc Bronya is better but you gotta work with what you have
@@sara_s1737 i also don't have bronya. Instead of adding a harmony character, I put a second DPS which is better imo. Right now my team is Sushang (she's C6), Blade, Pela and Bailu.
I wanna say. I am NOT planning to pull for him but I would absolutely sell a kidney for even a second of Zy0x saying absolutely anything. It's amazing how much of his lamenting I consume per day. My therapist says it's a parasocial relationship but I know he's wrong, I just really like watching adhdesque tall guys.
@@Slackerhun It's mildly worth it to spend Embers, Herta Vouchers, and even some Jade to get up to 300 pulls for your choice. Even more so if there is a unit (like Bronya) that is very valuable. After 300 pulls, you just rely on the free sources. If I get to 7 Standard passes I consider dropping some Jade for the 10 pull. Fortunately I got Bronya on my first Standard Pity. I then saved up Embers for her signature LC and it has been incredibly worth it. Hell when I hit 300 I might take her again because her E1 is so good.
@@Slackerhun Depends on how much you play the game. You get 5 passes per month with Embers. 4 passes from the Nameless pass per month. 6 passes per month from the Herta store. There are 27 characters in the game, each rewarding 3 passes for their 1st, 3rd and 5th ascension. This means 81 passes. 48, assuming the only 5-stars you got are Trailblazer and the guaranteed 5-star from the 50-pity banner. There is a new banner every ~21 days. Assuming each one has a new 5-star and *at least one* new 4-star, that's ~4 passes per month on average. And the Trailblazing will event awards 40 of these. So, with a starter amount of 88-121, plus the average monthly rate of 19, it would likely take 9,4 to 11,4 months to get to 300, without spending any Star Jade or Starlight. Assuming you hit the 4-star pity and the 5-star hard-pity every time, those 88-121 starting amount yields enough Starlight for 12-17 extra passes, which can save almost a month if you're willing to sacrifice the Limited Event passes. And of course, depending on your luck and if decide to spend Star Jade, the process can go immensely faster.
@@collinknowles5333ok one it was a joke about how zy0x got bailus lightcone instead of blades while wishing on the lc banner, and 2, it doesnt even work on him because your lightcone needs to match your path, which i mentioned in the og comment
1:17 nah why's he sound like a newscaster "he will consume TEN PERCENT of his hp" "experts say the situation may not be resolved for SEVERAL WEEKS over to you jerry"
I have Loucha and always keep him in my team so I stopped building natasha, but he was constantly reviving my blade so I just didn't use him since I thought hebwas like hu tao. This is a great news
Im running the 3 star lightcone i had put it on arlan cause i didnt have a better option and though the passive is actually really good it just feels bad running a 3 star and i almost caved on the weapon banner but i must resist for Lunae and Fu xuan 😅 Thanks mr socks very nicee
I have Blade and his Light Cone (I ran him with Arlan's lightcone before I got it). He is so fun to play and run. He works in virtually any comp that you want. I run him with Preservation Trailblazer (more for my other characters and not blade), Bailu, and a free slot for another character depending on the area (I usually rotate between Yukong, Yanqing, Jing Yuan and Seele).
Sadly it took me 155 pulls. Wasted all my saved up gems from day one. But after losing my 50/50 at pull 77 and then taking another 78 pulls to get his guarantee I have my Bade. Luckily my 50/50 lose was Bronya. Now I have Bronya, SW, Luocha and Blade as my main team. Now to save up again for another few months and get jing liu. Hope everyone who wanted him was lucky enough to get him. He is such an amazing character especially with Loucha the two of them can duo all end game content with relative ease.

@@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi yea I think imma skip blade for now and go for Dan Heng (after I see the reviews just to be safe) especially since I got Jing Yuan for a second team who I guess is good enough for now although I barely had any luck with his relics plus I don’t got his signature light cone
@@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi Correction, his ult gives 2 charges, his E2 adds a third for a free Dragon Leap AND advances his action forward 100%. DHIL will be meta defining, and his E2 will make him go absolutely wild.
@@DemonLordSparda thx for the info :)
@@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi Happy to help. Knowledge is power so we can all save Jade appropriately. As a little extra sauce, Herta's Store LC Fall of an Aeon might be as good or better than his signature LC, unless they buff his LC of course. So if you wanna go deep for DHIL you might as well aim for E2 before his LC.
Wish I had Seele but I’ll definitely be grinding to get Bronya & Gepard once I’m done obtaining Kafka.
Was talking to my friend about how good blade was to the point where he can solo SU. So i showed him, got Disciplinary Flicker on second blessing. His jaw dropped when he kept healing and not dying. He wants him now.
Those who are kinda feeling bad for not getting Loucha don't worry. Lynx will be an amazing 4* healer for Blade so just wait for her.
You never disappoint me with your Genshin guides, and now that I play HSR, and got Blade, I knew this guide was the one I needed
I just won my 2 50 50 in a row
didn't expect to get blade at all and was hoping to lose 50 so I can pull for black swan
but I am happy :) cause I wanted blade for a long time
this guide has helped me so much. thanks a lot for making guide, its so detailed, explaining everything. i really appreciate your efforts
i ALWAYS wait for your guides, theyre the best and most understandable idk why
Unfortunate that the BP destruction LC isn't good for him sigh.
Blade + Otto is really good!
i know its so sad that he (and dan heng) are on a light cone that he cant even use lmao
@MinhQan
Okay... Chillax lol! Save it for your fan fiction. You don't want me to say it.
@@dadian803 lol what are you on about?
@MinhQan???????? 🤮🤮🤮🤡🤡🤡
@MinhQangay
Not sure if any of you would agree, but I've found that Blade in a team with Welt, Bailu and Yukong has been insane. I've tried the other comps too, but for me I've found this to be the best 🤷
I got him today after losing 50/50 to Himeko, first 10 pull after.
WOW! Zy0x is very calm and gives much information. Bet he’s like this in his streams!
I see a lot of people not noticing that Blade actually advance his turn forward a 100% when he uses his skill, which is why you think Luocha heals him mid-turn and this is another reason why running him with Bronya or any other harmony character might need a little bit of planning here and there to make it work properly, it's not as straightforward as some people are making it look like.
I JUST GOT HIM ON 50/50 I'VE REALLY WANTED HIM I'M SO HAPPY 😭😭😭 now time to build him
Thanks bro🙏 saving up for Blade soon in the supposed 1.6 update
I just used gepard with him so that I can guarantee blade's hp to 1 without worrying the risk of dying, he consumes his hp every turn so I dont have to worry about talent stack the downside though is that it takes so long to stack up his talent
Zy i watched you for years and still i can't underatand a single sht of what u saying i dont even know what am doing here but i like ur content
There is a Blade 4 star light cone which boosts your attack and when you defeat an enemy you restore a % of your max HP. It's quite useful tbh. I don't have Blade yet as he is gonna be back in 1.6
I use: blade, silver wolf, bronya, and lynx. And that works for me.
zy0x giving us a good lore accurate guide with bronseele dying together
I just got blade! My first toon I got from a 5 star pull! So hyped that I got him!!!
Wow! Mr socks used Loucha with blade throughout the entire video maybe i should look into the loucha guide to create a blade and loucha team . Oh ! Wait KEKWait
Psst, just wait for Lynx next patch. Giving Blade aggro value is gonna be insanely good.
Lynx isn’t in the next patch.
@@bate01071 lacking critical information I see :)
@@bate01071 lol
As a frequent zy0x clips watcher it’s always a jumpscare to hear professional zy0x voice lmao
Truly one of the blade guides of all time
Blade is insane just like this content creator.
Doesn't his skill also buff his burst? If so then that's another good reason to go Skill>Burst.
Yukong actually feels decent with blade because of the skill point balance. I play himeko blade yukong and it feels quite good because follow up attacks and burst doesn’t consume yukong charge.
Use bronya if you can. Yukong provides atk% and it's useless for him. I know she also provides cr and cdmg but that's like 3-4 turns. Defense shred might be better if you dont have bronya. Pela can be good for that
@@icarus2679 I play both Pela and Yukong with him. It works and I dont have Bronya. The overall buffs during a fight that Yukong gives Blade are better than Tingyun from what I have noticed, which is why I prefer Yukong for him. Ofc Bronya is better but you gotta work with what you have
@@sara_s1737 i also don't have bronya. Instead of adding a harmony character, I put a second DPS which is better imo. Right now my team is Sushang (she's C6), Blade, Pela and Bailu.
@@icarus2679 Why not both? But yeah, I only have Yukong also. But I use her to buff two DPS.
Thanks for the guide Mr strimmer! Glad to see you finally found a tall character to main!
i didn’t know zy0x made hsr character guides 😂
I got him last night I'm f2p so I even emptied out my staright exchange just to get him and I got so lucky, can't wait to build him
I GOT BRONYA AND THEN I SAW BLADE WHEN I HIT SKIP THANKS FOR THE LUCK MR CALMEST STREAMER OF ALL TIME
I can't believe I got blade today, I was trying to complete the eidolons for Shushang and Arlan.
Blade and Tingyun are so nice for SP economy, I dont even have enough spenders in my current comp and it's about to get worse 😂
I wanna say. I am NOT planning to pull for him but I would absolutely sell a kidney for even a second of Zy0x saying absolutely anything. It's amazing how much of his lamenting I consume per day.
My therapist says it's a parasocial relationship but I know he's wrong, I just really like watching adhdesque tall guys.
I have wanted Bronya ever since I got Seele. But now even more so because I got Blade. Kinda hope she would be in a limited banner.
u cant get her when u reach 300 summons
@@Arenas95 Oh yeah I totally forgot. Now only to wait until I get to 300 standard pulls. (feel like it'll take at least a year)
@@Slackerhun It's mildly worth it to spend Embers, Herta Vouchers, and even some Jade to get up to 300 pulls for your choice. Even more so if there is a unit (like Bronya) that is very valuable. After 300 pulls, you just rely on the free sources. If I get to 7 Standard passes I consider dropping some Jade for the 10 pull. Fortunately I got Bronya on my first Standard Pity. I then saved up Embers for her signature LC and it has been incredibly worth it. Hell when I hit 300 I might take her again because her E1 is so good.
@@Slackerhun Depends on how much you play the game.
You get 5 passes per month with Embers.
4 passes from the Nameless pass per month.
6 passes per month from the Herta store.
There are 27 characters in the game, each rewarding 3 passes for their 1st, 3rd and 5th ascension. This means 81 passes. 48, assuming the only 5-stars you got are Trailblazer and the guaranteed 5-star from the 50-pity banner.
There is a new banner every ~21 days. Assuming each one has a new 5-star and *at least one* new 4-star, that's ~4 passes per month on average.
And the Trailblazing will event awards 40 of these.
So, with a starter amount of 88-121, plus the average monthly rate of 19, it would likely take 9,4 to 11,4 months to get to 300, without spending any Star Jade or Starlight.
Assuming you hit the 4-star pity and the 5-star hard-pity every time, those 88-121 starting amount yields enough Starlight for 12-17 extra passes, which can save almost a month if you're willing to sacrifice the Limited Event passes.
And of course, depending on your luck and if decide to spend Star Jade, the process can go immensely faster.
Thank you for the Blade guide!!
Any plans for a Luocha guide Mr.Socks?
i've been waiting for this. thank youu!
me too but I was waiting for luocha and he never make one
When I first played this game, his banner was going to end after 3 days. And now he has nowhere to run
Getting him was much easier than Kafka
another added thing: blades bis is actually bailus lc! even tho the paths dont match it works much better than his signature. 😊
A bunch of raw hp is not better than his sig or arlans LC man
@@collinknowles5333 Pretty sure they're not really serious.
@@GamingFreakShow1991 with the mouth breathing profile pic I couldn't tell
@@collinknowles5333ok one it was a joke about how zy0x got bailus lightcone instead of blades while wishing on the lc banner, and 2, it doesnt even work on him because your lightcone needs to match your path, which i mentioned in the og comment
Lucid interval Zy0x making guides is my spirit animal
1:17 nah why's he sound like a newscaster "he will consume TEN PERCENT of his hp" "experts say the situation may not be resolved for SEVERAL WEEKS over to you jerry"
'hey guys welcome back to my blade-' he came that very moment
I feel sad now since I failed to get luocha
I have Loucha and always keep him in my team so I stopped building natasha, but he was constantly reviving my blade so I just didn't use him since I thought hebwas like hu tao.
This is a great news
After watching this video attentively I can conclude that it's indeed one of the blade guides.
I was waiting for this guide...his relic stats priority was somewhat confusing to me ^^;
i barely play hsr, heck my laptop refused to update it a couple of months ago, but i love blade, so am here.
man i should have gotten luocha, but i got silver wolf and thought natasha would be enough healing
Im running the 3 star lightcone i had put it on arlan cause i didnt have a better option and though the passive is actually really good it just feels bad running a 3 star and i almost caved on the weapon banner but i must resist for Lunae and Fu xuan 😅
Thanks mr socks very nicee
I’m just waiting for the 1.6 blade guide
Aware
I doubt there is any improvement
I have Blade and his Light Cone (I ran him with Arlan's lightcone before I got it). He is so fun to play and run. He works in virtually any comp that you want. I run him with Preservation Trailblazer (more for my other characters and not blade), Bailu, and a free slot for another character depending on the area (I usually rotate between Yukong, Yanqing, Jing Yuan and Seele).
Since I also got Welt Lightcone from standard banner right after Blade, I think I'll run Blade, Welt, Luocha, SilverWolf.
Where do I find more relevant ornaments? All I’ve been using are the ones that require 120 speed…
Finally my e3 Bronya can show her power. Only one Bronya left to dream wind team. I got no other standard champions besides Bronya 😅
I played with him in the event and I'm so mad at myself for skipping him. Screw Kafka, I'm saving for his rerun
Zy0x actually making a guide for a tall wind character😮
I forgot blade does follow up attack and forgot about the innert salsotto set and instead i farmed for the new planer ornmanets at double drop
I didn't force myself to get his eidolons. I got e2 blade in just 15 wishes and I need to build him well now.
he's definitely a solid character, nice guide
Thank u socks for another amazing guide, i will enjoy Blade’s damage in 3 months bye (maxing all traces, lightcone and chara lvl, and farm his set) 😂
Currently running clara blade luocha and tingyun to buff clara and they're insane together.
me 0.001 seconds after getting blade:
*Agressively opens Zy0x guide*
(editing after watching) Amazing guide as always, Zy0x. Thank u so much
Sadly it took me 155 pulls. Wasted all my saved up gems from day one. But after losing my 50/50 at pull 77 and then taking another 78 pulls to get his guarantee I have my Bade. Luckily my 50/50 lose was Bronya. Now I have Bronya, SW, Luocha and Blade as my main team. Now to save up again for another few months and get jing liu. Hope everyone who wanted him was lucky enough to get him. He is such an amazing character especially with Loucha the two of them can duo all end game content with relative ease.
