What Combat Type is Blade?

Blade is a 5-star Wind character on the Path of Destruction, from Stellaron Hunters, released in version 1.2.

What stat does Blade scale on?

Blade's abilities multiply HP. That is read from the scaling rows on the Skill and Ultimate, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best Light Cone for Blade?

The Unreachable Side is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star Destruction Light Cone with 582 base ATK at level 80, and its passive acts on HP. Ninja Record: Sound Hunt is the best 4-star alternative.

Which relic set should Blade use?

Divine-Querying Master Smith. Its 2-piece bonus is: Increases Max HP by 12%. Its 4-piece bonus is: Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG dealt to enemy targets in the DEF reduction state by 28%. After the wearer inflicts the DEF reduction state on an enemy target, all allies gain "Comburent" for 2 turn(s). This effect cannot be stacked. The DMG dealt by ally targets with "Comburent" increases by 15%. This effect can be triggered again after the wearer uses an attack.

Which Planar Ornament should Blade use?

Fleet of the Ageless. Its 2-piece bonus is: Increases the wearer's Max HP by 12%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 120 or higher, all allies' ATK increases by 8%. Planar Ornaments have no 4-piece bonus; the sphere and the rope are the whole set.

How much does it cost to max Blade's traces?

Taking one ability from level 1 to 10 costs 652,500 Credits and 2× Tracks of Destiny among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

What does Blade E1 do?

Blade Cuts the Deepest in Hell: Enhanced Basic ATK and Ultimate deal additionally increased DMG to one designated enemy, with the increased amount equal to 150% of the tally of HP loss from Ultimate.
