Blade Best Builds and Teams Setup in Honkai: Star Rail

The synergy between this Relic and Blade is remarkable, as he can activate the 4-piece effect while simultaneously boosting his HP%.

• Max HP is increased by 12%
• Crit Rate is increased by 8%, stacks up to 2, for 2 turns when he is hit or has his HP consumed by an ally

2. Longevous Disciple (2 pieces), Eagle of Twilight Line (2 pieces)

While you’re in the process of farming for a complete 4-piece Longevous Relic set, a 2-piece combination of Longevous and Eagle of Twilight Line will serve as your primary damage-dealing set.

• Max HP is increased by 12%
• Wind DMG is increased by 10%

1. Inert Salsotto

The generally best Ornament for him.

• CRIT Rate is increased by 8%. If the current Crit Rate is above 50%, 15% DMG is added to Ultimate and Follow-Ups

2. Rutilant Arena

Technically, Rutilant Arena is considered the preferred Ornament for optimizing his damage potential. However, one must consider whether the investment of time required to acquire a new Ornament set outweighs the minimal increase in damage.

• CRIT Rate is increased by 8%. If the current Crit Rate is above 70%, 20% DMG is added to Basic ATK and Skill

3. Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm

Best if there is a Jingliu on the team with him.

• Body: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
• Feet: SPD or HP%
• Sphere: Wind DMG
• Link Rope: HP%

To maximize Blade’s potential in Honkai: Star Rail gaming, it’s essential to optimize his stats accordingly. When selecting body sets, you prioritize either CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG to enhance Blade’s critical hit capabilities, ensuring he deals significant damage with each strike.  For his feet gear, consider the benefits of increased SPD (Speed) for agility in combat or opt for HP% to bolster Blade’s survivability, depending on your preferred playstyle.

Additionally, equip Sphere set that boosts Wind DMG to amplify the effectiveness of his Wind element attacks, further increasing his damage output. Lastly, ensure his Link Rope gear includes HP% stats to augment Blade’s health pool, providing him withstand enemy attacks and emerge victorious in battles.

• HP%
• CRIT DMG
• CRIT Rate
• SPD

To enhance Blade’s effectiveness on the battlefield, prioritize key substats such as HP%, CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, and SPD. By boosting his HP%, Blade gains resilience, enabling him to endure enemy attacks and remain a presence throughout battles longer. Moreover, boosting CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate increases Blade’s damage output. Integrating SPD into Blade’s build further enhances his agility, granting him the advantage of swift movements and rapid responses in combat situations.

1. DPS: Blade
2. Support: Silver Wolf
3. Support: Bronya
4. Healer: Luocha

The main goal is to make him the star player. Silver Wolf helps by weakening enemies and keeping the team’s SP up. Bronya’s job is to keep boosting his power by using her Skill often.

Luocha is here to keep everyone healthy, especially Blade, whose moves can hurt him. Alternatively, Lynx can fill in as a 4-star option. She can draw enemy attention, making it easier for him to unleash his powerful Follow-up Attacks quickly.

1. Sub-DPS: Blade
2. DPS: Jingliu
3. Support: Ruan Mei
4. Healer: Luocha

Since he is adept at sustaining himself and excels in dealing AoE damage, pairing him with another damage dealer who specializes in single-target damage can be a strategic choice.

• Basic Attack: Shard Sword

An enemy is inflicted Wind Damage equal to 50% – 110% Blade’s ATK damage.

Forest of Swords – When Forest of Swords is activated, HP is depleted by an amount equivalent to 10% of Blade’s Max HP. This results in Wind DMG inflicted on a single enemy, calculated as the total of 20%-44% of Blade’s ATK and 50%–110% of his Max HP. Additionally, adjacent targets suffer Wind DMG equal to the sum of 8%–17.6% of his ATK and 20%-44% of his Max HP.

In instances where current HP is insufficient, activation of Forest of Swords will reduce his HP to 1. Forest of Swords does not replenish Skill Points.

• Skill: Hellscape

To initiate the Hellscape state, Blade expends HP equivalent to 30% of his Max HP.

During the active period of Hellscape, he is unable to use his Skill, but experiences an increase in DMG dealt ranging from 12% to 40%. Furthermore, his Basic ATK Shard Sword transforms into Forest of Swords for a duration of 3 turns.

In cases where his current HP is inadequate, triggering his Skill will reduce his HP to 1. It’s essential to note that this Skill does not regenerate Energy and does not conclude the current turn upon use.

• Ultimate: Death Sentence

Additionally, nearby enemies suffer Wind DMG based on 9.6%–15.2% of his ATK, 24%–38% of his Max HP, and 24%–38% of the total HP lost. However, the total HP lost is capped at 90% of his Max HP, resetting after his Ultimate is used.
