On HP% viability: HP boots is semi viable with fast bronya, I prefer speed. HP orb is dps increase by a tiny percent with bronya. Hp Chest is 10+% dps loss. HP rope is best in slot, ERR is dps loss. HP rope + one other mainstat max, three mainstats is DPS loss. Also account for the fact that more HP means you also need Luocha. Oh and just to note Mutual is actually better and maybe the best F2P option now to updated calcs, but its still hard with Luocha on the squad. E6 is 1.25x the number of follow ups. And Weakness Break on multiple enemies only heals ONCE. Also Auto battle AI was updated on Bronya as I was uploading, but again couldn’t add. Finally HP sphere is usable since HP buffs are scarce rn, but only viable with Luocha. I wanted to add these in the vid but the Wifi in the south is pretty trash :) Infographic here, but video watching is appreciated: twitter.com/guobacertified/status/1681493909996728320?s=20
Any recommend chara beside pella and SW? I dont have it 😢 Already have bronya, luocha, yukong. Dps only shusang 😢 should i raise blade as main dps or sub dps?
Well done, I've noticed many positive changes in presentation of information in your clips! As for the Blade himself, I like Wind element but I'm gonna skip this guy for 3 reasons, at least for now. 1) I'm f2p and I don't play manually, it's time consuming. I like teams that function well on auto. 2) I don't really have resources for another char right now, I'm already raising 12 characters out of 20 that I have unlocked. 3) 4*s on his banner are not my cup of tea at all.
The only con about Luocha, his automatic healing can cleanse valuable DoTs that can help speed up your follow-up I feel like this is relevant enough to mention, it tends to happen every fight.
I like how you made a gouba version of blade as well as the added subtitles. Your effort in these things are one of the reasons I subscribed to your channel.
Came here to say the same thing after I saw the Bronya/Luocha Guobas next to GuoBlade. Entertaining, informative, and displays hard work and passion when creating a video. Thanks GuoBlade! 😊
On the point about the buffing AI, it seems in the patch notes they updated bronya's and tingyun's AI 'logic' when it comes to buffing people. this may make it so they will sense that characters like blade are the better person to buff, i could be totally wrong tho
pretty sure you misread it. "Optimized the logic behind Bronya (Harmony: Wind) and Tingyun (Harmony: Lightning)'s ability usage when auto-battle is on during combat." looks like it only affects auto-battling
The Light Cone issue is actually a strong reason I went for Silverwolf. The free light cone that came with her was so good that it felt like she wasn't missing anything. Blade on the other hand... I would love a wind damage dealer, but I can't gamble going for him when I don't even have a serviceable light cone. I'm expecting to go for Fu Xuan to round out my Quantum teams, but after her, I'm planning to save for a long time in case we get a great Light Cone for one of the characters I already have, or we get a character I want and I also want to pull their Light Cone. I would rather have a smaller roster if that means I am really happy with how I've built them rather than a large roster where I feel like they are operating at 80% of their best.
The free LC was why I pulled Silver Wolf without a second thought. As an F2P, small things like these mean a lot. If I get Blade, I will have to use the 3-star LC because I don’t have the Herta shop one or A Secret Vow. Important to note that, A Secret Vow being a standard 4-star LC is available on all banners so I can get it eventually without specifically pulling on the LC banner. But I’m still hesitant for a few reasons, I want Fu Xuan AND Lynx. I can still guarantee Fu Xuan if I do get another limited character before her. But I am just not that into getting someone who I don’t really want and spend weeks farming for them. Another reason is that I’m afraid, if I get Balde now, he will be very underwhelming with a 3-star LC, without proper Supports and gear. Which will leave a bad taste.
With a secret vow he's still the #1 aoer and #4 st dps (when comparing e0). I don't see why you'd feel forced to get his LC. Prydwen didn't even do the calcs for his dmg with his signature they used secret vow.
I’m not with KQM, but I enjoy working with TCers there. Their assumptions are still better (IMO) but grim and I did tests together and he asked me to review them so why not ^^
Tysm for the generous donation! I don’t know how much exactly it is, internet says 40 euros maybe? Which is crazy and so nice of you! But whatever the number, it’s very considerate and kind, thank you
After doing some testing, I've found that HP% body is pretty comparable to crit damage on body and has the added benefit of the game throwing HP% pieces at you so godrolls will be much easier to come by. Thanks for the guide.
There's a three star light cone if i remember correctly it provides high hp and really low attack also provides crit rate as it's passive which due to my calculation it's the third best light cone for blade
Subbed, after watching your last video and this one they’re both so helpful, I’ve been building my blade all wrong 🥲 you make it easy to understand. I have autism so sometimes it’s very difficult for me to understand things If they’re not clearly laid out and explained and the graphics and stuff in your video is very clear and understandable. Thank you again!!!
@@guobacertified I was wondering if Lightcones like Woof Walk Time would work cuz it increases DMG for DOTs if I'm not wrong or are the 3* options better
can u pls make an updated video about Blade? his rerun is in a week and many might want to know if the new character, planar ornaments, and light cone releases changed his preferred build, team comps, etc. 😢
Very helpful guide (both yours and Grimro's)! I decided to go for Blade over Kafka because building her would be a pain and I risk not getting either Sampo or Luka for her best team (that I also need to build). I decided it would be better for me to wait until her rerun. On the other hand, I have all Blade supports built (Bronya, Luocha, S2 Secret Vow) already and he's a very nice bruiser going forward (because I think he will fall off as Hypercarry in the future, but still be an amazing secondary damage dealer). Now, if only I had resources for both DHIL and Fu Xuan...
I think he's still on my rerun list (until then I might have more than just S1 of Arlan's cone), but for now I got half of what I wannted from his banner, which was E1 Sushang. Still no Arlan in sight though. But everything has to be saved up for my dragon boy
im so happy that e2 didnt end up being such a massive dps loss, tysm for clearing that up in the guide, always the best and most informative guides out there
so for example i have 6200 Max HP on my Blade, How many stacks of Death sentence should i need before Using his ulti? does ultimate reducing HP also counts in total of HP loss the moment i use it?
@@guobacertified So i need 5580 stacks? before i use ulti? how about the Hp loss in ulti? 5580+HP loss in ulti? i think its Over stack if thats the stacks i need
Could you do a guide on relics building specific stats? Like I don't get how I'm supposed to reach 70% crit rate for Rutilant Arena without a crit rate chest piece. Are crit rate substats enough to reach that amount? I use inert Salsotto on my Clara and she has 51.5% crit rate WITH a crit rate chestpiece. I got some crit rate subs, but I have no idea how I can reach 70%.
As the vid says he has a ton of free crit rate, remember the new set doesn’t show crit rate out of the menu screen, it’s during the fight. You can still go inert
Thanks Guoblade, the guides are on point as usual, really comprehensive walkthrough of Blade. I'll be holding off pulling for him though, more interested on characters on the horizon right now. On a side note, kinda miffed about Jingyuan and Erudition after seeing Blade's numbers, makes me caution about characters from Erudition moving forward without any shakeup, but it is what it is *shrugs* 😢
Saved a bunch of pulls, and pulled 2 x blades had like 6 spare tickets, tried my luck with the light cone, got it. (Still missing bronya) but im stocked, now to grind all the mats and stuff to get him high.
Hey, I am an F2P and i spent my 9k jades over Blade and his LC. Im worried that if IB Lunae is better and I've chosen the wrong option. Pls can anyone help me out .
@@guobacertified So is Atk Blade good or Hp Blade good. My blade has a Hp of 6.2k, atk of 1.7k and crit rate of 55% whereas crit dmg of 157% is this one fine?
Man, I wish I looked into Blade before. Now I have to decide if I want to gamble on Blade (but no way in hell I'm getting his LC, which seems so juicy), or save at least a bit more for Kafka..
Blade will get a rerun eventually, and not having his LC hurts quite a bit imo (unless you have Secret Vow at S5). Better to just save for his rerun and fully invest in him, LC and maybe even Eidolons included.
@@darkdude1996ify so i assume the problem with the blade is lightrcones? i have e1 blade and his lightcone is that good i mean that issue is no more to me right?
@@musashimiyamoto7631 Secret Vow even at S1 is pretty good. Only problem is otherwise his BIS LC that isnt a Secret Vow and his signature is a 3star one that gives you crit rate.
Clara + Blade + Luocha + Yukong with yukong speed tuned to my fastest slow, with clara and blade following, has been super amazing for me. Love it so much.
Your channel is so necessary, I can't fully commit to play Honkai Impact 3rd bc there's kinda lack of guides but I can play HSR safely bc of the youtubers and TCers
Do you think it's worth pulling for Swordplay on the LC banner? Kinda want Swordplay for Dan Heng, but at the same time, I'd probably rather keep stellar jade for characters.
You can risk it but blade LC isn’t too universal , and shared feeling would be sad to drop, but Vow and SP are pog. As you said characters are great, and stellar sea is nice on him provided it’s not on someone else
I just got him :D Unfortunately he will be sitting at level 1 for quite a while. I simply don’t have the resources right now to level a new character. Excited to build him up eventually tho, I really like his playstyle
Despite Blade being the sole character getting me into this game, I’m definitely grabbing him on his rerun. My RNG has my account set up completely ready to receive Kafka during this patch. I just don’t have the character roster for him… YET
My Jing Yuan already feels massively outclassed.... feels a little bit bad but oh well. Not even pulling for Blade because leveling a new character is such a drain on resources and Blade seems to be a very high investment character.
@@guobacertified i watch the video from start to finish with audio lmao , there was no conclusion in the video to summarize your main message about blade , so its easy to miss "the one problem holding blade back". Are u referring to the cons part of the video for what's holding him back? and if so what metric are you basing it off of ? holding him back from being op? f2p friendly? the initial investment compared to other units? the difficulty for players to autoplay him making him harder to use for the average player? its hard to understand the "one problem" he has holding him back
In the Kafka boss fight, will he kill my teammates if he gets controlled? This is one of the first dps characters that has majority damage on their basics.
Do you see leaks? If yes, then what is your opinion on fu xuan? Will her and blade have any synergy? And about Danheng IL, will blade be good as his sub dps? 😁 Oh, and about lynx. People says that she will give aggro. Then will her have synergy with clara? Is she better than natasha in clara team? Thanks😊
I dont see leaks :( But if she shields then no, if she doesnt shield, then perhaps? As for DHIL idk, if he consumes a ton of SP then he will need SP positive mates, and blade still consumes some. Anyway idk what they do apart from the dhil trial lol, sorry
hi with all the new relic sets that we got this update can you make a video for changes of relics for sertain characters you already did a guide on like silver wolf and jing yuan of course if theres any changes needed to be done
Imma try to see If I can win Blade. If I do then I'll use Arlan's Light cone on him as that is the best 4* light cone (From what I heard) other then his 5* one and the good 3* one. I thought the fall of a aeon would be good on him but it's probably better on Clara Dan Heng IL or Jing Liu.
Bit of a wierd question, I have a Wuthering Snow set with pretty much perfect subs. With the 5 extra energy gain from the 4 piece does it change the math to make it worth considering an Energy Regeneration Rate link rope?
@@mul25 There are leaks. I would suggest going to the Honkai Star Rail leaks subreddit to see everything, but the short version is that Fu Xuan’s skill gives the team a buff that increases crit rate and redirects a huge amount of their damage taken to herself. Then, her talent heals herself whenever she drops below 50% health, and her ult does damage based on her HP and gives her more uses of her talent.
I have question about ornament sets on support, is it possible to stack the passive of ornament sets in the team like broken keel to give me blade as a example 20 crit dmg? Great video!!!
I managed to get myself a copy of this bad boy today. I'm so happy. Now I'll start saving for his nemesis, although I don't like the rumor that DHIL banner will be released first, it gives us who want to pull for him less time to save 😌
Should i go for blade or wait for IL both are aoe destruction unit ... I m skiping kefka because i m not intereted in dots I do have luacha but no bronya or secred vow tho .. 😢
Hey there man, I've seen your comment on a vid of a hsr content creator. Can't wait to hear your thoughts/explanation about his video about your comment. I'm sure there are also other people waiting for your response to him.
I’m not replying to drama :) my discord has my takes and insight into the correct build, and grimro calcs show Hp orb is viable but hp chest is a dps loss, and I can do a sheet on the rest too like grim had done.
Just silly drama over a very marginal difference. Personally would rather not see a back and forth over something like this. We come to Guoba for informative videos, not click bait drama videos :)
Don't feed the troll, respect that you choose to delete your comment and stay silent. That Smack guy saw oppoturnity for click and view, and Internet troll like tectone too. Unless you guys wanna team up to go viral from drama/troll content like Jake Paul's, move on, let other have their opinion.
I have silver wolf, bronya and loucha but not sure if to get Blade or wait on kafka i really wanted kafka but the videos got me itching to summon for Blade what should I do Im running the same team but replace blade with fire MC at the moment, anyone got recommendations on if to pull for blade, wait on kafka or wait even longer for dragon Dan or the ice lady that seems to be blades master sorry don't remember her name😅🤔?
Forgot to mention f2p don't have any big LC aside from the free silver wolf one 😅 I'm not sure what I'm doing in this game I played epic seven and use that games experience as a how to play this one😂
We don’t know how they will perform. If you want blade get him, you have a great team for him. If not get who you want, you’ll be able to do great with any limited dps
@@guobacertified I usually play jing yuan with tingyun to get his burst up faster, but she’s not that good with blade. Would it be better to use jing/blade/bronya/Bailu or tingyun instead of bronya?
Even though a DPS that relies on Basics might break the SP economy, I really wish Forest of Swords could still regen skill points. I understand he is already SP positive purely for the fact that he only uses a SP every 4 turns, but would have been cool if Forest of Swords was treated more like a regular basic.
Balancing thrown out of the window. QQ enhance basic attack below E6 also can’t recover SP, and she already took more than blade. Blade would be insanely broken as a sub-dps if he does that.
5 base, 17 with traces, 33 with 4 pc, 41 with 2 pc. So 10 crate subs which is endgame level sub value, or you get e2 or s1 and get very close without any subs. If you can’t reach it , inert is amazing on him too
Hey Guoba thanks for the guide really helps iron out the idea I want for him. I ended up building Asta (Should have gone Yukong but hindsight is 20/20 and I'm going to try for Jingliu as well and run Luocha-Yukong-Jingliu-Blade as a dual carry team comp because it sounds really fun.) and Tingyun for him (I have Yanqing who is using Pela and SW. I can hot-swap supports as needed.) at least for now. I also managed to get his LC early which was a massive win... even if I grabbed S4 Secret Vow in the process. As soon as I get Bronya (300 pulls on standard incoming at some point.) he is going to go from a monster to... I guess a bigger monster? In any case. Thank you for the guide.
i was saving for Blade for 63 days and he was so considerate to bring Bronya with him (means i lost the 50/50 XD). i also got his LC so i'm good in that department. team's gonna be Blade, Bronya, Pela and Lynx, when she's finally here (Bailu until then). i just recently watched your new guide on Bronya and as far as i understood, she needs lower SPD than Blade so that he can attack, she then uses her skill and he attacks again? did i get that right? @@ (Bronya's getting the PR LC and the new SPD set since i'm farming that cavern for Blade anyway)
Hey Guoba. I was just wondering, do you use other people’s accounts to test units or as a Hoyo partner you get a special account to test stuff out? I noticed you have footage of him but I recall you mentioned you were saving for Dragon Boi on your account so I figured you weren’t a heavy spender (if at all) While I have no intention to pull for Blade rn (Maybe in a future rerun, as I like the idea of getting all stellaron hunters, outside of Kafka who I *really* want) I still enjoy looking at all the different kinda guides. Thanks!
Does the Rutilant Arena 2pc set still work even if the unit's CC (Critical Chance) is below 70%, but they have external buffs (yukong or any relic set) that raise their CC beyond 70%?
As others have mentioned, really appreciate the addition of subtitles especially for someone who has difficulty in hearing 🥺❤️❤️ May Baldie wanters be Baldie havers!❤️❤️
@@guobacertified yup it's just that I had them on me hoping someone could use it.Currently using it. just waiting for some the good pcs to come. rng isn't with me rn
nice to see them already killing jing yuan, makes a lot of sense to immediately power creep a unit with the next dps release right after him, and with kafka coming out as well right after
I happen upon this video hours after I pulled Blade as a f2p. Pulls were a mess. Got Clara, then Blade’s lightcone so I had to go back and get him. I have no Bronya or Luocha so I hope Luocha’s rerun is soon since he’s important for the future destruction characters 😂
@@guobacertified oh that’s great, I was happy I had it, so if i have bronya and farm a good relic set for him plus s5 vow, I don’t have anything to worry about when it comes to his “major problem”, right?
Ended up getting his LC first then burning the guaranteed, now I only need to pray for Bronya to spook me, somehow, or wait until the 300/300 (I'm crying inside) Still should have enough to try for a 50/50 on Kafka though, that's comforting.
Thanks to immense luck I have Bronya + her LC. The biggest concern for me is the last slot in Blade team. Is it worth building Pela to 79/80 for Blade and Yanqing? My Pela is currently lv 65 with event LC lv 70, E6 and traces 6/10. She is good for her own niche but I have a feeling she is vulnerable to power creep very soon, which also shows with Silver Wolf 😢
Don’t need to max her level or traces, only ult and get talent to 7 for the 2 turn rotation with tutorial LC, but pela is a great unit ^^ even with sw she has her uses due to def stacking and sp positivity
@@guobacertified thank you. I will leave her level as it is and invest a bit more on her traces and relics then. This game really gives me power creep vibe unlike genshin so I have a strong fomo when building a character. But hey at least we have guoba to tell us who is worth investing into 😄
Well i dont have a good DPS character, i have Bronya and SW and i even pulled for an accidental Luocha last patch, im planning to farm the new relic domain and i really like Blade. The only real reason to hold back on Blade would've been him having shit multipliers (wich thankfully he doesn't) or the LC struggle xD
Mm for me I haven't had much luck for SPD boots for Blade roll due to rng. But for now his HP% boots with crit damage substat is a nice boost of damage. For me I actually see it very very possible for a dual DPS team of Ruan Mei, Jingliu, Blade, and Huohuo together.
On HP% viability: HP boots is semi viable with fast bronya, I prefer speed. HP orb is dps increase by a tiny percent with bronya. Hp Chest is 10+% dps loss. HP rope is best in slot, ERR is dps loss.

Amazing video, thanks! Also, i won the 50/50 and i got him alongside a E6 Natasha 😅 Happiest person ever now, next one is going to be Kafka!
Grats!
Nice video as alwayssss, still looking forward to kafka and sampo guides, i want them DOT team 😂
They are on their way:)
Mr. Guoba, at 16:33 you showed a list of Erudition LCs and I'm confused on how it's relevant to a Destruction character video.
It says in the video, jing yuan needs before dawn for performance just like blade with his signature
@@guobacertified Thank you for the clarification
Thanks Guoblade, the guides are on point as usual, really comprehensive walkthrough of Blade. I'll be holding off pulling for him though, more interested on characters on the horizon right now.
On a side note, kinda miffed about Jingyuan and Erudition after seeing Blade's numbers, makes me caution about characters from Erudition moving forward without any shakeup, but it is what it is *shrugs* 😢
Yeah erudition is in a weird spot :) I’ll be pulling dhil and skipping 1.2 ^^
Saved a bunch of pulls, and pulled 2 x blades had like 6 spare tickets, tried my luck with the light cone, got it. (Still missing bronya) but im stocked, now to grind all the mats and stuff to get him high.
Grats ! Awesome pulls
@@guobacertified Bruh, just pulled a third blade wth.
burn him on the stakes
Hey, I am an F2P and i spent my 9k jades over Blade and his LC. Im worried that if IB Lunae is better and I've chosen the wrong option. Pls can anyone help me out .
They’ll both be very strong :)
@@guobacertified So is Atk Blade good or Hp Blade good. My blade has a Hp of 6.2k, atk of 1.7k and crit rate of 55% whereas crit dmg of 157% is this one fine?
Man, I wish I looked into Blade before. Now I have to decide if I want to gamble on Blade (but no way in hell I'm getting his LC, which seems so juicy), or save at least a bit more for Kafka..
Blade will get a rerun eventually, and not having his LC hurts quite a bit imo (unless you have Secret Vow at S5). Better to just save for his rerun and fully invest in him, LC and maybe even Eidolons included.
@@darkdude1996ify so i assume the problem with the blade is lightrcones? i have e1 blade and his lightcone is that good i mean that issue is no more to me right?
@@musashimiyamoto7631 Secret Vow even at S1 is pretty good. Only problem is otherwise his BIS LC that isnt a Secret Vow and his signature is a 3star one that gives you crit rate.
Could you make a welt video guide in the future
Yup
Guys i have luocha bronya e1, seele SW and clara ( and every 4 stars) should i pull for blade ? Because i don't know which teams to use in MoC
You don’t need him but you do have his best team
@@guobacertified but if i use him with bronya SW and luocha, which team should i use in the next part of MoC ??
The thumbnail: WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU PULL
Me 10 seconds after the update released: PULL PULL PULL
CANT STOP THE PULLS
Clara + Blade + Luocha + Yukong with yukong speed tuned to my fastest slow, with clara and blade following, has been super amazing for me. Love it so much.
It’s super cool ! ^^
Nice very detailed explanation. Keep it up. Don't stop what you doing..
Your channel is so necessary, I can't fully commit to play Honkai Impact 3rd bc there's kinda lack of guides but I can play HSR safely bc of the youtubers and TCers
Shame about honkai 3, great game
Do you think it's worth pulling for Swordplay on the LC banner? Kinda want Swordplay for Dan Heng, but at the same time, I'd probably rather keep stellar jade for characters.
You can risk it but blade LC isn’t too universal , and shared feeling would be sad to drop, but Vow and SP are pog. As you said characters are great, and stellar sea is nice on him provided it’s not on someone else
@@guobacertified It was worth it for me, got it in like 15 pulls. I wasn't gonna give it more pulls whether I got it or not.
I just got him :D Unfortunately he will be sitting at level 1 for quite a while. I simply don’t have the resources right now to level a new character. Excited to build him up eventually tho, I really like his playstyle
Definitely coming back to this vid 💪
You’ll love him ^^ gl on the farming
Despite Blade being the sole character getting me into this game, I’m definitely grabbing him on his rerun. My RNG has my account set up completely ready to receive Kafka during this patch. I just don’t have the character roster for him… YET
Gl on Kafka :)
Did you get him yet?
went on youtube immediately after getting him and his weapon and this title was so scary LMAO
WELL YA DID GOOD
@@guobacertified if investment is his only problem i think i will be fine, looking forward to your guide now that he’s out ^v^
My Jing Yuan already feels massively outclassed.... feels a little bit bad but oh well. Not even pulling for Blade because leveling a new character is such a drain on resources and Blade seems to be a very high investment character.
It’s okay :) and yeah he requires a lot of investment
How is Jing Yuan outclassed? Aren’t they two different elements?
i just pulled bronya so should i still put hacker space spd boots on her? i intend on making her fast 😅
Yep hacker speed is good
The video didn’t answer the “the one problem holding blade back “
Ty for explaining his kit however , really helpful
It did several times, investment , might wanna watch with audio
@@guobacertified i watch the video from start to finish with audio lmao , there was no conclusion in the video to summarize your main message about blade , so its easy to miss "the one problem holding blade back". Are u referring to the cons part of the video for what's holding him back? and if so what metric are you basing it off of ? holding him back from being op? f2p friendly? the initial investment compared to other units? the difficulty for players to autoplay him making him harder to use for the average player? its hard to understand the "one problem" he has holding him back
In the Kafka boss fight, will he kill my teammates if he gets controlled? This is one of the first dps characters that has majority damage on their basics.
Nah he shouldn’t , also his follow up won’t hit allies
I’m a huge fan of blade and I really like how you explained it to us! 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it
Do you see leaks? If yes, then what is your opinion on fu xuan? Will her and blade have any synergy? And about Danheng IL, will blade be good as his sub dps? 😁
Oh, and about lynx. People says that she will give aggro. Then will her have synergy with clara? Is she better than natasha in clara team? Thanks😊
I dont see leaks :( But if she shields then no, if she doesnt shield, then perhaps? As for DHIL idk, if he consumes a ton of SP then he will need SP positive mates, and blade still consumes some. Anyway idk what they do apart from the dhil trial lol, sorry
@@guobacertified ah well it's okay, I'll wait for your guide for them when their kit is officially announced 😀
hi with all the new relic sets that we got this update can you make a video for changes of relics for sertain characters you already did a guide on like silver wolf and jing yuan of course if theres any changes needed to be done
Yup
Thanks! Staying strong for Kafka but Blade looks dope
Stay strong warrior
Good luck dude. I lasted 2 days 😅 I couldn’t resist the skill point efficient playstyle
*correction from skill point positive
Imma try to see If I can win Blade. If I do then I'll use Arlan's Light cone on him as that is the best 4* light cone (From what I heard) other then his 5* one and the good 3* one. I thought the fall of a aeon would be good on him but it's probably better on Clara Dan Heng IL or Jing Liu.
Does having blade will be a great solution if I dont have Seele and Jing Yuan? Himeko is my only DPS in the game.
Yes he would be , but remember the vid problems :)
Bit of a wierd question, I have a Wuthering Snow set with pretty much perfect subs. With the 5 extra energy gain from the 4 piece does it change the math to make it worth considering an Energy Regeneration Rate link rope?
Err on dps is always a dps loss so far, so nah
@@guobacertified Even if it moves from a 4 turn burst to a 3?
So tempted to pull for Blade for his versatile damage style instead of Kafka.
Yea, I’m not sure whether to pull for him or Kafka. I want to guarantee Fu Xuan and her LC, so I think I can only get one of these two.
@@mul25 There are leaks. I would suggest going to the Honkai Star Rail leaks subreddit to see everything, but the short version is that Fu Xuan’s skill gives the team a buff that increases crit rate and redirects a huge amount of their damage taken to herself. Then, her talent heals herself whenever she drops below 50% health, and her ult does damage based on her HP and gives her more uses of her talent.
Can someone explain why we want to avoid Attack and def stat for relic in blade?
ATK gives the tiniest dmg increase ever. DEF is okay but you want HP Crit and SPD, so no space for def
I have question about ornament sets on support, is it possible to stack the passive of ornament sets in the team like broken keel to give me blade as a example 20 crit dmg? Great video!!!
it is possible :)
Blade is very cool, but I'm neck-deep in prepping Kafka. Need to remain strong.
STAY STRONG
Same I'm getting slightly tempted to pull blade but I'm a gacha addict. MUST STAY STRONG 😭
I managed to get myself a copy of this bad boy today. I'm so happy. Now I'll start saving for his nemesis, although I don't like the rumor that DHIL banner will be released first, it gives us who want to pull for him less time to save 😌
GRATS! And dhil gang 😎
@@guobacertified thanks. 😁
If HP% is only viable when he has more turns, does that mean I can go HP% if I run him with Welt?
21:56 for a duo carry Dan Heng Blade team, is it better to play Bronya holding planetary or Yukong?
I’d still say bronya , yukong only buffs blade on her ult
Any recommendations on who to use as a buffer if I don't have Bronya?
Pela/ sw
@@guobacertified Ayyeee got noticed by guoba, SW is kinda RNG on debuffing is that ok?
Should i go for blade or wait for IL both are aoe destruction unit ...
I m skiping kefka because i m not intereted in dots
I do have luacha but no bronya or secred vow tho .. 😢
Whoever you prefer, we dont know how strong DHIL is yet though
can i run crit rate chest since i rolled almost all 20 plus subs of crit dmg on most pieces. With cr chest im at 75 crit rate, 145 crit dmg
If it works it works! Very nice sub rolls
@@guobacertified thank you sirr will try it outt
Hey GuoBlade, would you recommend f2p to summon him even if they don't have Bronya nor his first and second BIS lightcone? Another good video btw ⭐
I wouldn’t unless you have no other dps , his damage at e0 with similar options is still really good though :)
Is Rutilant Arena 2pc good for Qingque?
Yes
Hey there man, I've seen your comment on a vid of a hsr content creator. Can't wait to hear your thoughts/explanation about his video about your comment. I'm sure there are also other people waiting for your response to him.
I’m not replying to drama :) my discord has my takes and insight into the correct build, and grimro calcs show Hp orb is viable but hp chest is a dps loss, and I can do a sheet on the rest too like grim had done.
Just silly drama over a very marginal difference. Personally would rather not see a back and forth over something like this. We come to Guoba for informative videos, not click bait drama videos :)
@@guobacertified is there already a gameplay showing HP vs Crit build? Just want to know before I go down w/c route to take.
Crit is superior by a bunch. Hp chest is dps loss , hp orb can be viable but only a small percent
Don't feed the troll, respect that you choose to delete your comment and stay silent.
That Smack guy saw oppoturnity for click and view, and Internet troll like tectone too.
Unless you guys wanna team up to go viral from drama/troll content like Jake Paul's, move on, let other have their opinion.
I have silver wolf, bronya and loucha but not sure if to get Blade or wait on kafka i really wanted kafka but the videos got me itching to summon for Blade what should I do Im running the same team but replace blade with fire MC at the moment, anyone got recommendations on if to pull for blade, wait on kafka or wait even longer for dragon Dan or the ice lady that seems to be blades master sorry don't remember her name😅🤔?
Forgot to mention f2p don't have any big LC aside from the free silver wolf one 😅 I'm not sure what I'm doing in this game I played epic seven and use that games experience as a how to play this one😂
We don’t know how they will perform. If you want blade get him, you have a great team for him. If not get who you want, you’ll be able to do great with any limited dps
Goodluck to all Blade pullers 🙏🙏
All Blade wanters will be Blade havers
He's home!!!
Goodluck to you all
I LOST THE FUCKING 50/50 TWICEEEEE RAHHHH I WANTED TO MAKE A LUOCHA BLADE TEAMM
I lost 50/50 on luocha then get him on guaranteed then loss the 50/50 to blad again ON A GODDAMN HIMEKO EIDOLON I HATE THIS GAME
would it be better to run him as a sub dps with seele or jing yuan? Thanks in advance 💖
I think probably Jingyuan since Seele uses more sp iirc and you still want some left over for your buffer/other characters
Both play styles are great , seele uses a ton of SP
@@guobacertified I usually play jing yuan with tingyun to get his burst up faster, but she’s not that good with blade. Would it be better to use jing/blade/bronya/Bailu or tingyun instead of bronya?
Even though a DPS that relies on Basics might break the SP economy, I really wish Forest of Swords could still regen skill points. I understand he is already SP positive purely for the fact that he only uses a SP every 4 turns, but would have been cool if Forest of Swords was treated more like a regular basic.
if he regen'd SP he would be giga broken lol
he's not positive as he cant generate sp when using enhance basic attack. he's sp efficient
Balancing thrown out of the window. QQ enhance basic attack below E6 also can’t recover SP, and she already took more than blade. Blade would be insanely broken as a sub-dps if he does that.
Is new relic best in slot for Arlan also or is the electric relic still better in him?
Electric imo, unless his hp set to 1 after each skill counts for the consumption for the crit rate
I accidentally pulled Blade while trying to get Sushang, this was everything I needed, thank you so much 😭😭
Come on man xD
There are no accidents, build him >:)
What do you think of pairing Blade with Welt (equipped with Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat)?
Why not :) enemies slowed hurts some of his dps though
do you have the tier list of lightcones for him? the one with % difference
You’ll find them on bonk spreadsheet or grimro’s maybe
Is 2 piece wind damage 2 piece Hp better than the 4 piece that gives 16% critrate if i already have E2 which gives 15% cr
No, just means you can allocate more into cdmg
Also how is 70% easy to get with some critrate subs? I still cannot reach it with all the set bonuses and a crit rate body
5 base, 17 with traces, 33 with 4 pc, 41 with 2 pc. So 10 crate subs which is endgame level sub value, or you get e2 or s1 and get very close without any subs. If you can’t reach it , inert is amazing on him too
Hey Guoba thanks for the guide really helps iron out the idea I want for him. I ended up building Asta (Should have gone Yukong but hindsight is 20/20 and I'm going to try for Jingliu as well and run Luocha-Yukong-Jingliu-Blade as a dual carry team comp because it sounds really fun.) and Tingyun for him (I have Yanqing who is using Pela and SW. I can hot-swap supports as needed.) at least for now. I also managed to get his LC early which was a massive win... even if I grabbed S4 Secret Vow in the process. As soon as I get Bronya (300 pulls on standard incoming at some point.) he is going to go from a monster to... I guess a bigger monster? In any case. Thank you for the guide.
Sounds fun ! :) gl on the team, and a s4 vow is pog on anyone
i was saving for Blade for 63 days and he was so considerate to bring Bronya with him (means i lost the 50/50 XD). i also got his LC so i'm good in that department. team's gonna be Blade, Bronya, Pela and Lynx, when she's finally here (Bailu until then). i just recently watched your new guide on Bronya and as far as i understood, she needs lower SPD than Blade so that he can attack, she then uses her skill and he attacks again? did i get that right? @@ (Bronya's getting the PR LC and the new SPD set since i'm farming that cavern for Blade anyway)
Sick team! :) and yes that’s right on bronya, or you go super fast and bring him with you
Hey Guoba. I was just wondering, do you use other people’s accounts to test units or as a Hoyo partner you get a special account to test stuff out? I noticed you have footage of him but I recall you mentioned you were saving for Dragon Boi on your account so I figured you weren’t a heavy spender (if at all)
While I have no intention to pull for Blade rn (Maybe in a future rerun, as I like the idea of getting all stellaron hunters, outside of Kafka who I *really* want) I still enjoy looking at all the different kinda guides. Thanks!
Can’t discuss anything on hoyo :) I’m a low spender, saving for dhil rn !
I almost forgot that you could get light cones from echoes of war until i got the harmony one today
Haha grats
Does the Rutilant Arena 2pc set still work even if the unit's CC (Critical Chance) is below 70%, but they have external buffs (yukong or any relic set) that raise their CC beyond 70%?
Yes
Since kafka coming it would be nice to have an asta and sambo guide
Sampo soon :)
As others have mentioned, really appreciate the addition of subtitles especially for someone who has difficulty in hearing 🥺❤️❤️
May Baldie wanters be Baldie havers!❤️❤️
I gotchu
Guocha and Grimro link up like Goku and Vegeta. Love to see it! Great video! Glad to see Blade is pretty good because I remember the doomposting 🤣🤣🤣
Haha thanks ^^ and yeah the community doomposting always seems to fail huh
a blade haver and hoping to be an IL haver as well, thanks for your detailed guide!
I was so hyped but sadly lost the 50/50 and got Bronya E1 now - but I was lucky enough to get e6 Arlan so a mini Blade I guess 😂
I guess :’) gl in the future
Am I crazy or the 4pc set dmg reduction (The set that goes alongside Quantum Set) is also fairly decent for him
It’s not great
@@guobacertified yup it's just that I had them on me hoping someone could use it.Currently using it. just waiting for some the good pcs to come. rng isn't with me rn
nice to see them already killing jing yuan, makes a lot of sense to immediately power creep a unit with the next dps release right after him, and with kafka coming out as well right after
:’)
How is Jing Yuan creeped?
@@elhant4994 bad damage, slow speed an cannot compete against future dps character
@@elhant4994 Blade outdamages him in both AOE and Single target, and he has no hundreds of JY's issues.
Jing Yuan was already a weak character. It makes no sense to weaken new dps units just to keep him viable.
Blade Cons : doesn't need Preservation
Yanqing Cons: Needs Preservation
Haha
I happen upon this video hours after I pulled Blade as a f2p. Pulls were a mess. Got Clara, then Blade’s lightcone so I had to go back and get him. I have no Bronya or Luocha so I hope Luocha’s rerun is soon since he’s important for the future destruction characters 😂
Hope you can make use of him :) bis is already a big buff
Lynx, an abundance 4*character made specifically for Blade is in next patch, you don't need Luocha
He's coming finally! 18 mins left til the maintenance is done ahaha
the game is up :)
Oh F- that was embarrassing haha ur right i thought it's the same maintenance time as always tnx for this vid and the reminder ahaha i'm just so hyped
how you get 10k hp (6:39) from with this main stats (15:32)?
I didn’t get 10k, I was explaining the hp loss iirc
Is s5 vow good enough in terms of investment or sig LC is a must pull?
It’s great in terms of investment ! :)
@@guobacertified oh that’s great, I was happy I had it, so if i have bronya and farm a good relic set for him plus s5 vow, I don’t have anything to worry about when it comes to his “major problem”, right?
Can Bailu solo sustain him in a hypercarry?
I believe so
I fail to see how "Cannot solo MoC 10" is a con. Are you going to add this con to every other unit guide then?
Its for fun bud :) people thought he could solo moc 10 because of cbt2 videos, but he needs luocha or the one man army build or e6
someone already solo'ed moc 10 using E0 blade
Holy guoblade, you almost made me pull for him..😮
But my Sampo & Pitch Dark Hook the Great needs their mommy to keep everything in check..❤
Haha , gl on Kafka ;)
Ended up getting his LC first then burning the guaranteed, now I only need to pray for Bronya to spook me, somehow, or wait until the 300/300 (I'm crying inside)
Still should have enough to try for a 50/50 on Kafka though, that's comforting.
Gl on Kafka and grats on the lc and blade :)
I need blade cuz i have luocha and dont have a dps but i wanna cream when i get kafka
sir?
Thanks to immense luck I have Bronya + her LC. The biggest concern for me is the last slot in Blade team. Is it worth building Pela to 79/80 for Blade and Yanqing? My Pela is currently lv 65 with event LC lv 70, E6 and traces 6/10.
She is good for her own niche but I have a feeling she is vulnerable to power creep very soon, which also shows with Silver Wolf 😢
Don’t need to max her level or traces, only ult and get talent to 7 for the 2 turn rotation with tutorial LC, but pela is a great unit ^^ even with sw she has her uses due to def stacking and sp positivity
@@guobacertified thank you. I will leave her level as it is and invest a bit more on her traces and relics then. This game really gives me power creep vibe unlike genshin so I have a strong fomo when building a character. But hey at least we have guoba to tell us who is worth investing into 😄
Well i dont have a good DPS character, i have Bronya and SW and i even pulled for an accidental Luocha last patch, im planning to farm the new relic domain and i really like Blade.
The only real reason to hold back on Blade would've been him having shit multipliers (wich thankfully he doesn't) or the LC struggle xD
You got the team , the LC isn’t too much of a worry :)
@@guobacertified 125 wishes in and i got... E1 Himeko...
Mm for me I haven't had much luck for SPD boots for Blade roll due to rng. But for now his HP% boots with crit damage substat is a nice boost of damage. For me I actually see it very very possible for a dual DPS team of Ruan Mei, Jingliu, Blade, and Huohuo together.
amazing team yep :D
@guobacertified yeah I saw someone with it clear MoC Stage 12 kafka in one cycle (28 or 29 remaining)
if u running "A Secret Vow" and didn't get hp% in subs wouldn't hp% orb be better?
It would by a bit
