Best Blade Build Guide

Blade DPS Build

Stat Targets

  • HP 7000 or higher
  • CRIT DMG 150% or higher
  • CRIT Rate 70% - 80% (out of combat)
  • SPD Base SPD or 1 SPD faster than Sunday/Bronya

This Blade build focuses on HP% and CRIT DMG to maximize the damage from his kit and his Traces.

Blade’s damage scales harder off HP% than off ATK%, so prioritize HP% wherever you can. Blade should have at least 5000 HP to trigger Bone Collection’s Serene Demesne, which grants CRIT DMG.

Blade only needs around 70 to 80% CRIT Rate, because Longevous Disciple covers the rest. For CRIT DMG, roughly 150% is enough for optimal damage.

For SPD, Blade can stay at base speed and rely on supports like Sunday or Bronya (at around 160 SPD) to move him up the turn order. You can also build Blade faster than those supports so he takes more turns per cycle.
