let me know what you guys think of less scripted, more natural guide type videos!
obviously this time, i was very sick and unable to produce something earlier, but this was a nice twist on how i usually make guides so id love some feedback
i’d rather the non-scripted videos, because then it somewhat shows your honest opinion i suppose? then again, scripted gives you more time to think about what you’re saying…
Scripted or not, the quality of information remains, so do you, Mr. Xlice!
🤩
SHEESH
thank you for providing father
non scripted is more fun.
There's an actual case study for hp% orb for survivability reasons over wind damage since the damage loss is around 2-3% but you gain about 1200-1500 hp. It's probably the biggest drama in the HSR community right now with youtubers flinging dirt at each other but there are video showcases onlines comparing the dmg output, another youtuber doing his own math showing it too.
Just for the comment readers to know that it's not the end of the world if you don't have a wind dmg boost orb and only have hp% orb and it will likely come down to their substats if you have both. Ideally, wind having hp% substat would be the best of both worlds. Cheers all :)
Been playing since launch havent got a wind or hp 5star orb that has a good sub for him to use 🤣
interesting, thanks for the info!
To me, he is one of the easiest dps to build , you really can not go wrong with hp over wind orb, or hp over crit damage chest, then you can either run hp boots or speed boots, depending on who your running with and bronya if you have her, I did only 8 runs and got soo lucky, ended up with 7,500 Hp, 65% crit rate / 170% crit damage / 128 speed.
hp would be best when same team with jing liu , cause she consuming teamates hp to deal more dmg
@@tweezy5804u kinda lucky on relics roll with that stats and speed😭💀💀i've burned 8 fuels for him and only have 3 decent relics.
Ah yes, the long awaited Baldie guide. Hope yall have fun with this character and for all the Dan IL wanters good luck
Good luck to you too my friend 🥰💗
It’s not a tectone guide bro
@@novapheonixgamingme when I’m a hater completely unprovoked
@@naw613 r/whoosh
@@naw613he brought up tectone cause OP said Baldie, not Bladie. Lol I don't think it's any directed hate
I love this type of guide.
The recorded guides feel more serious and thats cool too, but this feels more chill and laid back, which is rare when watching a guide. It's like talking to a friend in a call which makes it easier for me to pay attention.
I hope you get better soon. LOVED this guide. It felt more relaxed, and more like a conversation between friends about a character in a game they play. Appreciate addressing misconceptions about Blade as well. Hope to see more guides like this.
really good guide! everything was explained clearly, and the chill aspect to the vid made me feel calm and not like im listening to a class presentation lol. definitely thought it was good making it clear that blade doesnt need to be low hp for dmg increase, he just needs to accumulate a total hp loss over time. right now im running secret vow with him though, so i still need to play around with his hp a bit. otherwise ty for the vid, hope u feel better mr xlice :D
I'm a fan of this new format for the guides! Definitely wouldn't mind if more of your guide videos are like this.
Yessss!! I have been waiting for your guide Xlice!!! Hope you are feeling well!! I got blade accidentally and I havent started building him till your guide was out! Thank you so much 😊
thank you So much for the guide, I saw this video right after getting him and I couldn't be more happy.
This is a great guide. I love this stream guide just cuz you go slower and get into the nitty gritty details about the character and how to build them
A small tip that can be useful to help bladie build stacks is to put him in one of the two middle positions in the team because it increases the chance of getting hit by some aoe attacks that don't hit your entire team .
I actually didnt know about this thanks !
@@ecnighthell325 yeah , that also useful if u have Clara
But that will also put the risk of your other teammates getting hit
@@jellythewomanconsumer1590 if u gonna play blade be ready to take some risks lol , he needs to lose hp so those positions are the best to increase his chance of getting hit
I'm kinda glad I found this vid. I wasn't sure about my Blade's relic equipment and stats, but seeing this- and the nice little segue of comparing him to Hu Tao, who is notorious for her HP scaling- makes me relaxed. My only problem with him, as with many other DPS-tuype characters, is his crit ratio. 55/90 ain't a bad compared to JingYuan's previously ill-fated stat ratio of 30/140 (which I was able to fix, thankfully), so this is one thing to look in to.
I think your guides are my fav I love how you give numbers to aim for
Honestly, this man makes the best guides. My team is finally doing big big boom damage
At last really good guide video 😃
Thought it would take me a couple weeks to farm relics, never have I been soo lucky, I did 8 runs on the new set and ended up with - 7,500Hp / 65% crit rate/ 170% crit damage / 128 speed. Still have some min/maxing to do , but that is a killer starting build. Used him for first time today, and man he slaps. MOC 9 and 10 here I come.
How-
@@_KCallen just luck , it took me like 3 weeks to farm seele set.
Can I have some of your luck? I used all of mine it seems.
@@tweezy5804 3 weeks to complete a whole set? nah nan u won
Been waiting for this
Great guide!
thanks for the guide Mr. PP! Get better soon!
I've never really recognized that I am being called a youtube frog, but honestly I am happy to be hopping around
Yey! Even though I'm already in this video because I was practically watching the livestream when you filmed it. I still want to watch your guides and vids over and over because you are my all-time favorite streamer! I hope you recover quickly, Mr. xlice, and I commend you for continuing to upload content even while you're not feeling well. Giga respect!🤩
thank you for explaining his whole kit so well ive seen no one use blades ult correct everyone spams and its painful
5 minutes in and I have to say, the more natural/less scripted guide feels kinda nice. I feel like I'm watching the stream even though I missed it.
Feels like less of a tutorial/guide and more of "My friend teaching me how to play this character" and personally, I like it.
edit: finished the video and I stand by this statement.
hope you get well soon
I really like this style as supposed to the uber mega edited ones. Not that there's wrong with that, this just feels more cozy. Also, DADDY WELT GUIDE PLS
Got Blade after the Luocha banner at 26 pity(got really lucky, I am f2p) and I was conflicted with a lot of stuff, so I did some research, watched CCs and did my own experimentation and I came to a conclusion. Hp% is just universally better on him, so I have hp% boots, hp% sphere and hp% rope. I have a Slade(Slow Blade) build and there's a reason for that. My Bronya sits at 150 speed so she goes twice in a turn, I let Bronya let my Blade move forward for both turn deployment as well as damage boost so it's a win win for me. If I did build speed on Blade(I have the boots), he will probably go 4 times in one turn lol. I finally have two proper teams with Jing Yuan in first and Blade in second with the three healers(depends on enemy's weakness element) and Gepard for my Jing Yuan in case they have ice weakness and I have comfortably finished all MoC and MoX stages. Blade is cracked. Both him and Jing Yuan finish battle in 3 turns maximum (Jing Yuan finishes in 0 or 1 turn)
people told me if you have Lochua or Bailu...you can have Blade.
@@rodrigocantarino4751 I have all three healers. Luocha, Bailu and Natasha, so I guess it was canon event that I got Blade lol
Feel better 😊
this convinced me to use some of the primos i was saving for the next banner instead on his lightcone and i got it in my first 10 pull. That shits gross
For Pela support on blade team, is the event SW lightcone objectively best in slot? I thought Pearls of Sweat to apply def reduction during Ult cooldown, and so it stacks with Ult def shred. Not sure if the energy and EHR on SW lightcone can be made up with EHR body and ERR rope + vonwacq planar set
How is the crit rate requirement determined for the inert salsotto and arena sets, does it take into account in battle crit buffs? So for instance if my blade's crit is at 52% percent before going into battle but shoots up to over 70% when in battle between the 4pc relic buff and other sources could I use arena then?
Hope your fully healthy now!
good thing i have all the characters for blade . gonna build pela though. hahaha
Nice Guide ! I Guess if you can reach 122 Speed with HP% Boots its even Stronger !
Lost hope when i lost 50/50 to bailu but then after 4 pulls it came home got a healer and a dps W
some notes for blade relics, if you have bronya you can opt for a hp% boots instead of speed
bronya is the best harmony character for blade, and since she will always have high speed and can force blade to take action, a speed boots on blade will be pretty irrelevant
for bronya and blade havers, u can spam bronya skill without worrying about running out of skill point even if you dont have luocha. i personally dont have luocha so i run natasha with him, and i never have skill point issue unless its a boss fight with constant aoe attack
I was looking for a comment like this since I'm using Blade with Bronya rn, so ty!
Make sure Blade is faster than Bronya if not, bronya advance skill is useless because Blade will always behind Bronya, and he just enjoy the damage bonus, not extra turn 😅
@@Ratalosh.Brownn u say literally the opposite of my point bruh
@@shira3353 then u play useless Bronya🤭 Bronya faster than Blade is such a waste of advance forward usage
@@Ratalosh.Brownn build blade to be faster than bronya for an extra turn is so much more difficult considering bronya mainly want crit dmg and speed on her substat rolls, meaning bronya will have very high speed compared to blade, even if u use a speed boots on blade u will need a lot of spd substat to out-speed bronya and considering blade ideally want all the substat roll into crit dmg, just letting him use hp% boots and let bronya help him act frequently instead of spd boots is still not bad
Great video! would you still recommend speed boots even if he's paired with E2 bronya?
I think Fire MC is not that detrimental to Balde actually, since the shield is pretty small and can be broken easily with high lvl mobs, so he still loses HP regularly from being attacked. I think for mobs or bosses with both wind & fire weakness, Fire MC is not a bad choice to pair with Balde to break weakness.
Of course, I agree that Balde is better with no Preservation, and running him with FMC means no taunting skill from FMC at all, not to mention the split attention from mobs since higher innate taunt value from FMC due to being Preservation
edit: also, I find a team of Balde + healer + buffer/debuffer + hunt to work quite well as well. Balde just acts as a tank here with damage, he just does his thing (1 skill every 3 turns then just normal atk and follow up when charged up, ult when needed), others function like thay always do lol. My current team with this template is Balde - Nat/Luocha - Tingyun/Yukong - Seele (Luocha is the obvious superior healer, but I find that he makes the game too easy lmao, so I refrain from using him outside MOC)
New to the game, I got blade today and I have the other 4 stars you suggested and the reviver 😂 I guess I got lucky
i spent way too many relic upgrade mats upgrading an atk% ribbon and atk% boots when I needed Hp%. worst thing is I had an hp% 5 star ribbon on set and an hp% 4 star boots on set but I foddered them but I did that before I properly read his abilities 😮💨
guess I'll have to do more relic farming and pray for some hp%
😩
Does the arena 2 piece set take into account longevous' crit rate increase or does he need base 70% crit rate to get the effect?
would like to know too
hi, due to the update version 1.3 with the introduction of the light cone "Brighter Than The Sun", I want to know how good it is compared to the light cones previously mentioned in the video because for fuck's sake I CANNOT get a secret vow
I like guides that come out a couple of weeks after the content drop instead of "guides" that come out one day after and you could tell they are just BSing.
If your blade moves faster than your Bronya, can't you attack twice per turn? If that's the case won't speed be better than hp%?
This is perfect because I just got him 😂😂
Hey xlice, I hope you can do a MoC guide on how to clear it with only one healer, i only have natasha as a healer and the struggle is real to keep my characters alive
I would recommend watching the 4* only memory of chaos runs, you can just put that in the search bar! They have all the teams and builds included usually, and you can try to simulate that.
Most important things are minimum lvl 77 everyone, lvl80 LCs for dps, 8/8/8 traces, and a good goal is 70/140 crit ratio on dps.
U still have mc and natasha plus the option to play break teams
Me right now is smiling with e3 s1 Blade in happiness…
Do you think its better to pull for his light cone or just save up for characters as an f2p? I have s2 arlan lc and use clara lc for him but I'm tempted to pull for his lc so that I can build him easier.
I was using the Mutual Demise and was decent, but since I lucked out on his light cone, I really noticed the HP that I was missing. Lol.
I'm using the same team: Blade, Luocha, Bronya, Pela. This team is skill point efficient, has two buff strips, two debuff cleanse, AOE def down, damage buffs and healing. Haha. It's so satisfying on auto.
Pov Xlice:You did your weeklys before the last upgatde and you just did you weeklys this week soo now you can upload it
In case y'all didn't know the new best healer for Blade if you don't have Luocha is Lynx.
perfect timing since i accidentally got blade on 31 pity and now i need to build another dps :aware:
Does the e2 crit rate buff activate arena set effect in fight? or i should aim for 70% crit rate without e2 buff to activate it?
Okayge 👍
I only started playing the game a week ago so I appreciate all your guides! I happened to win 50/50 for blade (I wasn't aiming for him, just wanted a good 5*) but I sadly don't have any of his supports since my beginner wish 5* was clara🥲 my pity is close on standard so I pray for bronya🙏 Also question for anyone who can answer: I haven't finished all of the main quest yet so I don't think I have access to that relic set. Would eagle of twilight line be viable until I can get to longevous?
I would say it is more important to have the stats than complete the relic set if you are this early.
I love how he said destruction character has slightly more taunt value but in reality tingyun (I call her attacked-yun) has one of the highest if not the only character that has infinite taunt
My blade slaps! Hitting like 80k follow up attacks ;) with a 4 star light cone so he’s my main
cant wait for kafka guide when she appears
Eveyone thinks he works like Hu Tao but Blade is a better Hu Tao x'D because he doesnt need to be at 1HP to have 2-5k extra damage
Is the Arlan lightcone still worth running if paired with Luocha? He's healing him so often that I'm wondering if one of the 3 star options might be better in that case?
I currently hve him at e3 and his ult is hitting for 110k which is pretty good for aoe destruction. I love it
What you think is better pulling for, his E1 or his lightcone
@@what.are.you.on1 lightcone. E1 is really good tho
@@zhonglishusband6988 thanks
Kinda out of Blade focus, but do you think his LC worth to pull for Clara? I have all the 4* LC but all are S1, I use Arlan for her rn and she does, okay damage.
I know Clara Signature LC is best for her, but i dont know when will I get it lol. So I am considering getting Blade LC for her if it actually works well with her? Thank you
Couldnt have came out at a better time lmao I just got him
If I don't have longevous disciple can I use musketeer does it work with enhanced basic atk?
Does the arena set bonus work when I gain the cr in the fight? I have 67% cr and longevous can give me more
I’m tweaking for the cckun e6s5 balde
Blade work best with Bailu as healer she doesn't cleanse dots on him, allowing you to get more Gift proc's out of Blade in highest theoretical damage values. So after his own turn if he gets hit and applied with a dot he will gain two stacks from Bailu where as Luocha may cleanse him after taking the initial damage resulting in only one hit for Gift proc. Bronya will already cleanse the dot and she should only ever move after Blade in ideal situations.
Blade already does a good job at healing himself and sometimes with Luocha he will full heal blade when Gift will already heal him if he procs it and ult can be utilized to reset hp value to 50% meanwhile your Bronya is constantly getting smacked around resulting in you needing to heal her.
Of course utilizing Bailu as a main healer comes with it's own disadvantages but in terms of endgame builds it's much stronger if you know what you're doing. At the end of the day use what healer you like just know that when you see Bailu with Blade there is a method to the madness.
I see comments about people saying you don't need speed boots. Speed allows you to take the dots faster if you've been hit resulting in higher dps potential, faster ults, safer hp manipulation in a party. Every test I have personally done, speed boots is stronger than HP boots.
Play whatever you want to play just understand how your characters work and why they're paired together as well as side effects of running certain pairings.
I got Bailu at 2 pity after pulling a blade, must be a sign that Bailu and Blade is really the way to go. I'm struggling to survive on MoX 6 and MoC 10 with my Natasha so I'm thinking of investing some into Bailu
I built my Blade at 135 spd and Bronya at 134 spd. During the first MOC turn my Blade can attack 4 times, which guarantees a talent proc and basically guarantees 0 turn first stage clear. Saves me so many rounds lol. If I switch to hp boots it's like a 15% damage increase so yeah speed is a no brainer.
Need 135 for 4turn or 130
Thanks, for a couple of days now I've been trying to force 70+% crit rate with the new sets and it's hurting my dps a lot. I completely forgot about Inert Salsotto only needing 50% to work
Yeah rutilant arena is more of a premium option for those with his sig (for free crit rate) or crazy good relic luck
i recommend that u should use w7 set when using bronya or speed boot to gains stack fast (e0) , if you have e1 above then go for the w6 set also cause it's very good when teaming with lynx ( healer with healing skill that provides taunt to destruction and persavation class ) and jing liu ( consuming teamates hp to deal mote dmg )
@@naw613 people that use Mutual Demise S5 can also get the 70% crit easily, so i wouldnt consider the new set a premium with him (100% premium with the rest of the characters)
@@Lapis_James oh fair enough 👍 didn’t think about that, just know most people suggest Arlan LC if you dont have his sig.
So is the silver wolf event light cone still attainable? I started a couple days ago..
no unfortunately the event was in 1.1 and ended before 1.2 :/
Kinda sucks now knowing that his lightcone options are Very limited synergy-wise (since I don't have A Secret Vow), so I guess I'll have to look into the 3-star option
since i got his e2 (30 pulls, 3 blades... pretty broken.) I actually am unironically using max hp 2-piece relic set, literally just cuz i got an HP, CR, CD piece for both. im running when relic stacks are max, 82 CR and 150 CD with 9k max HP and 2k attack. My blade feels so so busted.
Another thing imo, bailu is more ideal if you have both natasha and her because she buffs max hp with one of her talents. Moreover, blade doesn’t require a whole lotta healing due to his tankiness, so bailu healing everyone else squishier on the team seems more ideal. Also, I like her burst with blade because it basically out heals most damage dealt to him while gaining stacks. Ofc bailu is a 5 star but better then natasha imo.
And the debuff removal off natasha and luocha, for blade is impotant to him to not get CCed
Does the 16% from the longevous set count towards arena?
So basically, he's immortal right? And he's still working together with the Stellaron Hunter right? So, can we called him "Unlimited Blade Works"?
Haha so funny like alter saber's(saber altoria) death 🥳🥳🥳
can i use march 7th with full damage set with no def with him so he gets attacked but the shield is so weak ?
what lc should i use on pela if i dont have the event one?
Lol what’s the story behind y’all calling him “Baldie?” 😅 & thanks for the guide, yours seems to easier to understand than the few others I’ve seen so far ♡
& Would Blade, Bailu, Bronya, Himeko/Sushang be a good team? (also in that lineup order) or should I build a different character for the last slot?
I m a beginner may i use blade,dan hang(the free one), asta(or the imaginary fox chick), lynx
I've had an absolute ass of a time with Luocha's banner and I didn't manage to get him, despite my best efforts. I really wanted him, because I still only have one healer...
So, it was only natural that Blade came home on the very first freaking single warp. Out of irritation since I didn't really care for him, I used my starlight to buy passes and did some pulls on the lightcone banner.
Got his light cone on the second 10-pull.
So now I got a fully invested character I didn't really care about, though I do think he's slowly growing on me.
F-me though I should've just used a bit of starlight to guarantee Luocha instead...
What was your pity on luocha banner?? Because by the sounds of it, you didn’t get a 5 star, meaning your pity on blades banner would’ve been essentially right on super high soft pity
@@strawberrymatcha6284 Nah I definitely got blade before soft pity, I think at around 50-55 or so. I did lose a 50/50 on Luocha beforehand so I already invested quite a few pulls into it.
If I was near soft pity I'd have definitely used my starlight to guarantee Luo Cha but since I thought he'd be a ways off I didn't bother wasting it at the time. I had kinda resigned myself to not getting him at that point.
Then when Blade came home the next pull I kinda had a bit of a rage moment and tossed all my starlight at the light cone banner instead. Not the smartest decision but it worked out since I got his light cone. Now he's probably my second best built character lol.
It is New plannnar ornament rutilant arena is suitable for clara?
"His kit is better designed than Hu tao".
Honestly you're not wrong, when I first saw the leaks on Blade's kit I immediately lost my mind and started laughing how Genshin did it. THIS is how an HP% character is supposed to function. It's what Hu tao would had become in the game but seems like Genshin devs had different ideas. (Probably so that Hu tao wouldn't become the 1 man army-not-need-anyone else kind of character for money)
Although Blade's kit still has imperfections, it does make sense as to why he had to be nerfed or "humbled" in a sense for this game. After all, mihoyo needs to balance and make money. Anyways, thank you for another very helpful guide!
that moment when you are early, but don’t know what to comment
I got him on my first 10 pull
S1 Secret Vow good? Or should i use 3* instead
Here because I got baldie and his light cone while doing cheeky 20 pulls each for 4 stars
“You can see the charge on his tip” ok mr pp
i got confused on this one part of the video. how much base crit rate does blade have level 80 with max talents? these dont include lightcone or relics
For lightcones wouldn't "under the blue sky" be better for him than the 3 stars considering it has more stats than a 3 star and it also gives reasonable crit with the atk
Personally, I think Blade enjoys HP more than Atk% since he has like 25% atk and 75%hp scaling. Since he enjoy hp% more, atk become irrelevant when building him. "Under the Blue Sky" Gives 32% Atk in S5 and decent amount of Crit Rate buff, but only activated after killing an enemy, which means the atk% is not that useful and the crit rate buff is not guaranteed. Personally since he doesnt care about Atk% so much, I'd rather use Mutual Demise or Collapsing Sky until i get Secret Vow since you can get free crit rate, and/or get 40% Basic Atk bonus dmg (its huge). Still I'd take any opinions.
bruh it's atk.
Yeah that's what I'm running on him rn
@@aoan6403 also 12% crit rate but let's just ignore that LMAO
@@risangayatul It gives 12% crit rate my guy.
Gonna use fall of the eon since i cant get arlan's cone from gacha 😭
Does the disciple 16% crit rate activate the arena buff?
Shame that I have like none of the characters built that work with him :’) ah well, time to work on my Yukong and Pela I guess…
10:23 That's why I hate how people compare him to Hu Tao because that's literally what Hu Tao needs. It's kinda like a misinformation because Luocha didn't work that way. Thank you for addressing it
The only thing that is comparable for both of them is the HP double scaling. Which genshin already had many characters who do that.
Can I use Lynx in the healer slot ?
wait a minute i didnt know about the event
Is Kafka a good pair with him? If there isn’t a certain answer, I’ll wait for her release and watch your guide video of her when it comes out.
Nope, she is completely different kit, she likes character who easily put dots on enemies.
Fire mc is decent with him as well because her shield is not that big it breaks when attacked and will count the hit into his passive
cool video, i think the way you talk is a little terminally online though, but
wouldn’t planetary rendezvous on bronya be stronger for blade over her signature?
Will Dan heng IL lightcone work on him?
