Honkai Star Rail Blade Build Recommendations

Blade was released in update 1.2 in the first phase of the character banner. In the second phase, you will be able to get Kafka and the 4 star character Luka.

This recommendation is based on the author's objective assessment and the availability of Light Cones, Relics, and others during certain updates.

Material Talent and Character Ascension Blade

Blade will require a large amount of HP. Therefore, the character level is needed and you have to maximize it.

Blade character Ascension will require: Immortal Scionette, Immortal Aeroblossom, and Immortal Lumintwig.

Apart from that, Blade will also need ascension materials for characters with the Wind element, namely Ascendant Debris. You can get this material from Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Rime which is located in Alchemy Commission, Xianzhou Luofu.

Best Eidolon for Honkai Star Rail Blade Build

Blade already provides satisfactory DMG without having to rely on Eidolon to really provide optimal DMG.

However, if you are aiming for Eidolon Blade, we recommend Eidolon 1 (E1) which can increase DMG from Ultimate and Eidolon 6 (E6) which reduces the Talent activation stack from 5 to 4 stacks.

Priority Trace for Honkai Star Rail Blade Builds

The Basic ATK Blade is the Shard Sword will deal Wind DMG to one enemy target. 

After using a Skill, every Blade using Basic ATK will consume 10% HP Blade which is used to increase DMG from Basic ATK.

This increase will increase with the given Wind DMG calculated from ATK and HP with a percentage ratio of 2 ATK : 5 HP and will deal DMG to enemies that are close to the targeted enemy.

However, when the remaining Blade HP is less than 10%, HP will be reduced by a maximum of 1 HP only so that Blade will not die. Besides that, while in this buff Basic ATK Blade will not regenerate Skill Points.

Skill Blade namely Hellscape will provide a buff that increases the DMG of each Basic ATK Blade for 3 turns. Before 3 turns, this skill cannot be used.

Use of Skill will also reduce Blade HP by 30% from each use of Skill with the same conditions as Basic ATK with a maximum limit of HP reduction of up to 1 HP.

In addition, using Skills will not reduce Blade turn so you can immediately use Basic ATK after applying Skills.

Ultimate Blade is Death Sentence Blade will attack one enemy target and deal DMG to enemies around the enemy target as well.

The DMG given will be calculated from the Max HP Blade + ATK + Total HP that was reduced during the Battle. 

The HP Blade will also be set to a maximum of 50% so it can restore HP if it is below 50% and lower if it is above 50%.

The total HP used will be calculated as a maximum of 90% HP with a note that the total HP calculation will get a reset after using Ultimate.

Talent Blade, namely Shuhu's Gift will give follow-up ATK to enemies whose total DMG is calculated from a ratio of 2 ATK : 5 HP and gives AoE DMG.

This talent will be active when Blade gets 5 stacks of reduced HP. Apart from that, Blade will also get HP recovery of 25% and the stack will be reset.

Blade Technique namely Karma Wind, Blade will immediately attack the enemy by reducing HP and dealing Wind DMG.

Blade has a unique talent kit in that according to the author all kits are related and benefit from each other.

The lower the Blade's HP, the greater the DMG dealt. However, you must keep Blade from dying.

Trace Blade talent priority, according to the author, you must upgrade all Traces to get maximum DMG.

Relic Recommendations for Honkai Star Rail Blade Build

Blade has a build that the author thinks is very F2P friendly. Stats What must be prioritized for Blade builds are two combinations that you can follow.

The first combination is HP, SPD, Crit Rate/DMG, and HP%. Another combination is changing the Planar Element HP% to Wind DMG.

Longevous Disciple is the most recommended Cavern Relic set for Blade. 

This set, if used by 4-PCs, will give HP 12% and each reduction in HP will increase the Blade Crit Rate by 8% which can be stacked up to 2 stacks.

If the stats you get are not optimal, you can combine Longevous Disciple with 2 other Relic options, namely: 

• Eagle of Twilight Line which increases Wind DMG 10%
• Hackerspace Traversing Messenger that upgraded SPD 25%.

The Planar Ornament Blade part is more recommended to use Rutilant Arena or Inert Salsotto.

Both have the same function, namely increasing the Crit Rate with a slight difference in bonuses. 

The difference between the two Relics is that Rutilant Arena will increase DMG from Basic ATK and Skill DMG by 20%. Meanwhile, Inert Salsotto will increase Follow-up ATK and Ultimate by 15%.

If you are still in the early stages of the Simulated Universe, the authors recommend Fleet of the Ageless which can increase HP 12% and ATK 8% if the character has SPD 120.

However, prioritize the stats owned by the set rather than the set bonus when selecting the Relic used by the Blade. 

Light Cone Recommendations for Blade Builds

Light Cones Recommended for Blade is Light Cone path Destruction which can increase HP or get a buff from reducing HP Blade according to Blade's ability kit.

At 5 star rarity, The Unreachable Sin be the best choice for Blade because the Light Cone is indeed Blade's signature Light Cone.

Something Irreplaceable or On the Fall of an Aeon you can make an option other than The Unreachable Sin.

Nowhere to Run and A Secret Vow can be a very good 4 star Light Cone option for you to use. 3 star Light Cones Mutual Demise can be an initial option for novice players.

Party Setup Blade Composition Recommendations

Blade needs a support character who can maintain the character's HP but doesn't hinder the reduction of HP.

Therefore, characters with the Preservation path that produce Shield are not allowed to be used with Blade.

According to the writer, a good Blade party formula is Blade + 2 Support Characters (Harmony and Nihility) + Healer (Abundance).

You can position Blade close to the center so you can take damage if other characters are attacked or close to characters who have the ability to become enemy targets like Tingyun.

Examples of some party recommendations for Blade are as follows:

• Blade + Bronya + Silver Wolf + Natasha
• Blade + Welt + Bronya + Luocha
• Blade + Tingyun + Yukong + Bailu
• Blade + Bronya + Yukong + Luocha
• Blade + Pela + Yukong + Natasha

From several characters Healers, Luocha is the most suitable character to be used with Blade.

The reason is because Luocha can provide HP recovery passively and periodically. But Bailu and Natasha are still very good to use with Blade.

Those are the build recommendations for the Blade Honkai Star Rail character.
