These Teams Are Now INSANE With Blade! Meta Analysis of Blade Build & Showcase | Honkai Star Rail 

Lost 50-50 to Yanqing... Oh well I needed a main dps anyway since I do not have Seele and Jing Yuan 🥲

@@Heliotropic95 qingque is a good option

@@BirdyKongy she relies on rng too much tbh so damage is not that reliable... yanqing's much better since he buffs himself so much

@@miyakofuyama rng funney

@@BirdyKongy she's too unpredictable for my taste and besides I only have her at E1 so pretty unreliable

the additional damage from my Tingyun is about 2.5k, but I have taken into account this damage for the video :) still doesn't come close to Bronya's buffing :D

You can also use tingyun to buff luochas healing and just use her ult on blade.

​@@skullkrusher-dx4kg The attack buff is really only half of Tingyun's skill, as she also does additional damage when she attacks or when her target attacks. So unless you're also going critical hit rate body piece for Luocha you should go Asta. For a better attack buff with a little micromanaging, your entire team gets boosted, and that extra speed would go well with Welt. Fighting an opponent with fire weakness helps a lot. If you only want damage, that still goes to Bronya. Yukong is just too clunky and inconsistent to be considered good.

@@snowyforest6058 im not disagreeing with any of your points. Some people just like tingyun and its useful having a batterie. Yukong is honestly better at dealing damage then buffing lol. She basically needs her eidolons.

Still better than basically any LC outside of his signature though

sadly theres no more options right now , only his lc so right now hes fine with the base dmg % from secret vow

Luocha isn't his best healer anyway. Luocha is specifically made for jingliu. For blade, you want to wait for lynx as she buff hp+increase taunt on her target. Also aoe heals that cleanse. Once lynx is here, you would drop luocha immediately.

@@zodaydin1795me who’s gonna run luocha blade jingliu and lynx:

@@zodaydin1795 just say you don't have Luocha or what you've said is based on assumption. they insanely good when I paired them together. though lynx might be the best f2p healer for Blade, but dropping 5star over a 4star? might as well drop Seele for Qingque. you are copping bud.

his e like 1.5x dmg jing yuan e, sp neutral , his fl up attack is decent , self sustain is insane , i got both of them with both of their signature LC

Yeah it's kinda fucked up how his follow up attack does similar damage if not more than jing yuan when follow up attacks are supposed to be jing yuan's gimmick. And the fact that you don't need to get stacks or anything, you just attack or get hit. 5 stacks compared to 10 as well. But that's just how they sell shit, we'll be talking about blade the same way as well when yet another character pops up that does more damage than blade while being sp positive with multiple f2p lightcone options available etc.

What 👁👄👁? Blade out damages Jing yuan??? Uhm.....

Jing Yuan likely will get a new relic set with his Rerun to buff him up to other AOE‘s damage or even higher so you just need to wait a little longer sadly

@@brupts7297Yes, he does, even if you don’t believe it.

It hurts me so much because I knew erudition was never going to work for contents that matter, and I ended losing two chances for good 5 stars trying to get one copy of Tingyun.

@@tyshen0329 Hopefully they'll release some OP erudition character in the future.

The thing is tho, Destruction is only limited to 3 target's at a Time while Erudition can attack all 5 enemies on the field, but they still feel lacking probably because of how straightforward their kits are. In the future I think we're gonna get a content that requires hitting all 5 enemies at the same time so there's still hope for them

Let be honest, QQ should be destruction character with the way she work

​@@MoyaMoyashiiClara's Skill can hit all enemies tho but it needs to have a Mark of Counter to deal more damage

Add bronya to the ecuation

The only problem is currently there are no buffer that actually works with blade. Most harmony unit are buffing attacks while blade prefer hp/damage boost

@@danielak1666 yup, bronya-blade-luocha and whatever unit is flexible like welt

​​@@danielak1666ynx and Fu Xuan both increase max HP and effect res. Problem is, Blade's ult takes HP lost into account and Fu Xuan lessens damage taken

​@@ki_dochannel93you don't want to pair him with Fu Xuan. Preservation characters take away aggro from him

That bloody curse that make you lose 35% of your max hp the prana something is just straight blessing for Blade

@@RadiantCloudSkyhow could it be a blessing if it makes blade lose his max hp?

@@rumputpanjang7380 it's not max hp, it's just heal-able hp (the end of the hp bar is greyed out so your characters always stay at

ofc he is. every update new enemy is made to be countered by the new limited character same as honkai 3rd. while this game uses more genshin systems than honkai. when it comes to team building is way more like honkai where you need certain characters against certain bosses and have no good replacement. but still it wont matter since unlike honkai there is no leaderboard here with ranking system. so no need to spend to try to maintain a rank.

​@@lucaskp16genshin works really good with f2p characters as log as the team is right , it seems hsr is the same , but the weakness thing is kinda get me fkd a bit reminded me of tower fantasy and i used to main geo in genshin and in hsr ihve to think about building many different teams is just bit pain 😂

I've been trying all day for him and still no luck 😭

I got Blade on my 15th pull, My Luocha is Blade's life support, I also got his signature light cone in my 2nd pull somehow-

Why the fck you want to pull three destruction characters on a row?

yo i won my 50/50 and got blade. sadly its a hard pity around 80 ish 😓

Natasha and Pela are my go-to teammates with my Blade and they work well ❤️ I don’t have Luocha too and Nat is my only healer so she’s keeping an eye on the wind edgelord

Sounds familiar oh yeah just like in Genshin in the beginning with Ganyu hu tao and xiao they support the team by erasing the enemy

@@HZConqueror you mean xiangling?

What boots do you use on blade if you have bronya in your team?

@@nendrarizkyan spd is solid for him. Or HP with spd and crit dmg as sub stats

Just get bronya from the selector ticket, and even Natasha can help alone

​@otaku-chan4888 honestly thats what I was thinking to do, I think Bronya will be my 300 pick and I just hope I get bailu or smthn

Same mate! Idk when but will brutally saving for them cz i had enough getting General and Bladie ❤

how much jades did u spend total to get Blade and Lightcone

@@luffyateyomom6273215

its also bad in a way since we have to get all of them or wait for atleast a year. and to get all of them you either have to get lucky or p2w

@@Lgacc1I guess but that's the game, and if they're all good that's even better since I only play characters I find fun or aesthetically pleasing not about the build or synergy but I play for fun, I currently have welt luocha and blade and cannot wait for fu xuan

​@@Lgacc1 be patient or use *4 that is , at least the game still cares about alternative choice that is 4* , ive seen something worse i wont spill the game but its quite similar togenshin but all 5* regular banner is useless in late game and *4 is just like trash.

​@@Lgacc1naw even 4* are strong like Serval, Hook and Sushang Yu Kong is a part of the meta because increases crit and damage

I've never lost a 50/50 yet so I have every limited characters + Clara, Himeko from standard and Yanqing from beginner banner I'll probably have to wait until I can select a 5 star at 300 pulls to get Bronya

@@UguuUngyou are so lucky. Got 2 50/50’s and lost them. Probably gonna loose the next one too

​@@uwu-chansame 😢

@@uwu-chan same here plus I always get the limited characters by hard pity (18 multi summon)

I didn't lose a 50/50 yet and only got Clara and Yanqing from the standard banner💀 I wanted a support character like Bronya so bad but only got damage dealers so far

Someone draw bladie in marth's attire

Yeah. Something he forgot to mention with fire TB is that he actually taunts ennemies so they dont even attack blade for a turn. Same to a lower extent with gepard. March would make ennemies attack blade more frequently but the shield would still nullify damage lol

fr, bad guide, Blade is like Clara he wants all the aggro to him so he does more damage the difference is Clara can work with shield Blade however wants to lose hp as much as possible so he can hit the 90% max hp loss scaling on his ult for juicy damage, putting something like a preservation may take away aggro from Blade.

the difference with blade and clara is that clara is counter atk oriented, she needs to get hit to do dmg while blade is more active. You guys are putting way to much emphasis on his talent, his basic also hit hard, yes I agree running him with a THIC shield is kinda dumb, but fire TB is fine with him since the aggro value means nothing, and especially with a weaker healer TB can take off some dmg on your blade. The guy hurt himself anyways so he only need to occasionally get hit. About his ult, dmg is nice but it works better as a hp management tool, that's the true value of it. Above 50 you gain 1 stack, below 50 you have heal. he's a survival unit people are too fixed on the "get hit to do more dmg" trope

I think you're mistaken blade for clara. Blade didn't mind getting attacked, but he isn't "attack me please" Type of character. His enchanted basic attack is also hit hard and does consume his hp so he could proc his own talent. That's why fire mc shield is not that bad for him. he still prefers no tank play though since being hit does help him

Your abit mistaken His talent gains stacks whenever he loses hp by either being attacked or consuming his own hp(by skill, ult, enchanted basic attack), so he doesn't necessarily needs to be attacked. I don't have him so it's harder for me to tell

Tbh, if you don't run Luocha for the auto heal, then letting everyone hit blade is a risk, also, Stelle with Gepard light cone will be hit way more often, with her E she will be the target even more often than Tingyun, but the thing with blade being a Destruction character makes him no much more of a target for attacks, i stopped running Stelle because her shield can screw up blade's charges when he does get hit with AOEs, but since she's mot on the team, Bronya, Asta and Luocha are more of a target than Blade, so i end up with damaged Supports and no Blade Follow Up anyway

Uhh fire MC seems a little troll to run with blade no? Fire MC has taunt + shield buff skill So doubly nerfs blade cause he wants to be targeted to gain stacks faster and also wants to be in lower health to do max damage

​@ADNaoo nah realistically blade gains talent stacks perfectly fine even on his own and also his hp lost for his ult. Trust me blade will definitely be at lower percentages of his hp so that teeny baby shield that fire tb provides just lays off some dmg. Ive actually found myself in numerous situations where blades skill and enhanced auto straight up bring me to 1hp. Hes actually especially good if you dont have luocha since Fire TB also keeps the rest of your team alive as well just well enough to not get in the way of blade since there's no taunt increase w/o shield rn.

​@@SeEnjoyerI do agree it isnt exactly ideal since I'll probably be booting him and Natasha off the team once lynx rolls around since they have some sort of taunt heal idk.

@@SeEnjoyer plus being a preservation

@ADNaoo oh also his dmg isn't low hp based its just how much you've lost. You could be full health and have full ult dmg output

Fr lmao, idk why everyone mentions about the MoC/Abyss being easy with the rate up character, they're gonna say the same when Kafka or anyone else comes out

*"Dehya"

@@kuyarence what?

I build him as debuffer.

Get both!!!!! Letsss goooo

@@david_lifeandgames couldn't resist 🙂 Got blade 😌 and his light cone😆 Now broke 🙂

@@gust2780 How much jades for blade and lightcone

I am starting to build Dan Heng for this exact team too! Just haven’t got bronya 😢, what is pp damage?

Blade and loucha god

It's not really "Not good" since it's still his best 4* option

it's pretty damn good on him

@@gamingsoups "not that good if you pair him with Luocha"

So, don't pair him with luocha if you're using secret vow then. He's a tanky character, he doesn't need insane heals to stay alive. There's not even much synergy between them, especially because Luocha will use the emergency heal every time blade ults. Blade will never die, but tingyun will when the boss hits her twice in a row and luocha's emergency heal is down. The only reason he is better with blade than bailu/natasha is because he is better than bailu/natasha. But, if you pulled for him, he'll still be better than natasha on the other side of MOC while you pair your blade survives perfectly fine with Natasha. As long as you didn't pull him with no secret vow, he's fine for f2p.

pls and thank you!!

Fire mc can be sp gen so nat can keep proc her skill any time

@@Valia2899 yeh but blade is alr sp positive by only using his skill once every 3 turns, having another sp gen would be overkill

@@abaacxi6171 hes neutral, when he uses his skill he consumes 1 sp and enhance his basic atk for 3 turn but his basic atk cant regen sp

Bronya and luocha are the best support for him.

​@@Valia2899You don't want Mc, the protection is negligible and any preservation will take agro from Blade. Also the shield doesn't help either if you can solo sustain with your healer you shouldn't be using any preservation unit

I am in the same coffin. But I recently gave up and benched him for now and opened wallet for blade and his LC. It was my best decision. Blade is so much easier to play and is much easier to gear since he gets alot of crit and does not care about speed tuning and CC has minimal impact on him. Maybe some future character will make JY better.

yeah it's another case of JY unfortunately

And I have neither of them :/

I dont have secret vow yet😢

Sushang's lightcone keeps coming home to me

Got secret vow twice while trying to get his official light cone. It will work well on Blade?

Herta Destruction LC??

@@Kman3872 we got a silver wolf f2p lightcone in 1.1. 1.3 should get the same treatment with the light destruction character on the next patch

@@alexblake1746 rumors/leaks say new nihility lc from herta shop and free sushang in 1.3, now just wait for the livestream (should be around 2 or 3 week of august)

@@Kman3872 Herta is Erudition tho?

@@fabio4561 Tch, why Nihility?!! Must be for Kafka? If thats true, that'll be annoying, she alr has Fermata

Yukong

@@steveb1930 yukong buff is scale attack right? or did you suggest me using yukong for her crit rate and crit dmg boost when her use ult?

Pele also good with blade

Recently got the achievement for beating 100 artifact domains and I do not have good enough artifacts for any characters. Would kill to reroll substats

Dan Heng IL is also Destruction so might switch up someone just to deal with Imaginary Weak enemies

The issues of not seeking leak/tests 😅

Lynx gonna be better than luocha anyway

@@Sleepy_Largo can I use natasha in the meantime?

I wanted to skip Luocha because I play this game for Blade. But I decided to go for Luocha in the end since I really need another healer aside from Natasha. Hoping for the best and I did get Blade and his LC. Those two are really stuck together now.

@@Sleepy_Largo I know she can give taunt to Blade but doesn't she only buff HP at E6 though? I don't think it's worth to pull just for that HP buff if it's at E6.

pela

Because first slot is usually the healer and putting a tanky character beside them will be safer for those characters that are more squishy. Atleast that's how I see it.

@@amnos180188 For me I typically put my DPS first (cause she gets hit the most), healer/shielder, then random character (lately it’s been Sampo), and whoever has the least def/hp at the last slot. But idk lol I need to look up lineup suggestions. Hopefully haven’t been doing it wrong this whole time. Especially now that I have Blade, want to make the best team possible with the characters I have

Simple reason blade wants to get hit to proc the new relic set and losing blade hp when paired with loucha in first place or any tanky units so it help blade to get hit so that he can launch follow up attack as soon as possible hope it helps😊

I believe the reason is the diminishing point. Basicly once you invest too much on a stat the boost that the character get is less significant than if you invest on other stat. For example (not exactly the right calculation) , from 1000 to 2000 atk you will get 10% dmg boost but if you invest more from 2000 to 3000 atk you will only get 5% dmg boost, this is the diminishing point. Meanwhile once you reach 2000 atk and then you invest on elemental dmg bonus, you will get anothet 10% dmg boost so it's better to invest on another stat once you reach the diminishing point.
