How to play Blade

The peculiarity of playing as Blade in HSR is the constant control of the “Hellscape” status, and the main difficulty in mastering it is the mechanics of losing health in order to deliver crushing blows. In the initial stages of learning a swordsman, even his personal predisposition to self-healing may not save him from accidental death. In order to avoid unpleasant incidents, it is important to understand how to act during a battle.

Rotation

Keep the following tips in mind when building a Blade rotation:

1. Before the battle, use the techniques of the characters of the Paths of Harmony, Preservation and/or Non-Being to apply positive effects to the squad and/or spread negative statuses to enemies. Subsequently, if the opponents are vulnerable to wind type damage, use the hero's skill - "wind of karma».
2. When it's Blade's turn, activate the skill "Hell landscape”, thereby increasing the character’s damage, and also converting the basic attack “Splinter Sword” into “Palisade of Swords” for 3 turns. Apply "Palisade of swords».
3. Keep track of active positive statuses on the hero by updating buffs from support characters in a timely manner.
4. Act in the same way with representatives of the Path of Nothingness: watch for active negative statuses on enemies, using the main skills of your supports in a timely manner.
5. After accumulating enough energy, use the ultimate "The death sentence».
6. Be attentive to the character's HP. If there is no Locha in the squad, which is able to passively spread healing, then do not neglect the actions of Bailu or Natasha.
