[@Mogawty]

There aren’t any good excuses for forgetting the 4p set effect while it’s flashing on screen like 100 times lmao. I’m sorry :( Sometimes it’s the most obvious things that are the easiest to overlook.

[@suroeq]

I thought the set said crit dmg the first time I readed it😓😓😓

[@joshsolders5543]

At the least you now have gear for other Destruction characters. This is the destruction set after all, so you're ready for the next one.

[@Number1YoimiyaMain]

“Sister, their not laughing with you, their laughing AT you…”

[@Antigen__]

​@@joshsolders5543as long as they do self damage and scale with HP lmao

[@joshsolders5543]

@@Antigen__ Not necessarily. The crit stats fit everything. Destruction attracts people to hit you based on aggro values like Clara, so the buff can be gotten pretty easily. And Destruction characters will want some natural bulk. Not a full set of HP mainstats obviously, but at the least, like one piece of health or something. Destruction is the "bruiser archtype," so whether its a HP scaler or DEF scaler or ATK scaler, you will want some bulk on them. So it will find its way onto someone.

[@DenjiSora]

Building any character in this game is a nightmare right now 😂😂😂

[@Botan_Katou]

HoYo and their goddamn relics+sub stat rolling is so goddamn painful.

[@scurrx]

@@Botan_Katou good thing we dont need perfect substats atm to clear all content

[@RoyalTfrii]

And it's worst when you are out of fuel but need 1 more domain resource run to finish a character

[@amielies81]

​@@scurrxfor now yes In future? No

[@Crydia]

At least in Genshin, you can have one off-set piece, but here it's impossible if you want the set bonus, which makes it so much harder to build characters

[@ryouskye]

If it makes you feel better, thanks to you I also realized the set bonus. I thought I had to wait until the last crit rate trace to hit th threshhold for the planar set, but I already have it with the set bonus

[@bjornnilsson2941]

You can also run him on an HP% orb, it's like 3% behind WindDMG% and actually 3% ahead if you play him with Bronya. Just in case you had an HP% orb with great subs laying around.

[@idonotmakevidsyet]

Hp orb is not 3% ahead with bronya where did you get this misinformation from? Gacha smack?

[@Grayewick]

@@idonotmakevidsyet HP orb is objectively better than Wind DMG, especially if you have Crit DMG body. HP affects everything else. Wind DMG only affects damage, go figure.

[@AnotherZovun]

It's not misinformation, MrPokke has a Blade unit analysis with all the CN bros' analysis on which relics and mainstats are better in which scenario. If you have Bronya, she provides enough bonus damage with her E and ult that a wind damage orb would have diminishing returns compared to having a hp% orb. Don't just assume without doing research first.

[@bjornnilsson2941]

@@idonotmakevidsyet To be fair I don't know that 3% is the exact number but it's in that ballpark I'm pretty sure. I think it's worse to not inform people who are desperately chasing a WindDMG% orb that HP% is an acceptable substitute in basically all cases, considering they may already have an HP% orb laying around with perfect subs.

[@aceofpurity]

Same for hp boots. He makes up for lack of turns with off field dmg and enhanced dmg for 4 turns

[@kenkaneki3873]

Pair Blade with Bronya and you can completely ignore Wind DMG and SPD on Blade Give Bronya Planetary Rendezvous and you can run full HP on Blade

[@theriolu1693able]

I’d rather he go before her with more Spd … and then go AGAIN when she goes after … but that’s just me

[@termina2737]

Must be nice to have Bronya 😓

[@SKAlRIPA]

Is that better dmg? I mean i find it hard to believe the 38 % wind dmg is worse then the planetary rendezvous also don’t you need speed to get him faster than bronya so you can go two times?

[@kenkaneki3873]

@@SKAlRIPA Wind damage is only 1.5 times better than HP, meaning HP provides way more utility in the form of extra survivability and scaling.

[@papiertoilette-pb9lf]

@@SKAlRIPA blade scale so much of hp that you can run full hp no crit and be good, you loose a little of damage but gain about 1000 hp or more per relic so it's worth it in the end

Thank you for this, I feel happier because everyone is going through the same thing. I've been building Selee for a month, just reached 60/170 and Im not satisfied with that. going to that relic after i have reached lvl 80 for my supports

[@ithamarlowe6158]

Been doing it for days, got all the relics I wanted on the first day except one 😵 I just can´t seem to get Longevous boots.

[@twilighttenshi]

@@ithamarlowe6158 You could just make the piece if you have a Self-Modeling Resin (the Make-A-Artifact item) if you don't want to waste TP anymore.

I got pretty good build for him in a 3 days matter, he's well built (ofc i can improve it ) but he does really good damage so now im gonna focus building other characters

[@carloluis174]

This is me as well. I found him to be by far the easiest and quickest 5 star to build.

[@qaywsx583]

I finished my build pretty quickly luckily enough. 61% to 192% without set bonuses. Now I just need a Bronya 😢

[@kirileonhart4484]

Yeah I feel you bro, I have been farming Blade's relic for soooo long it is soo hard to get crit rate to roll T_T

[@masterofyolo6102]

I got super lucky on my blade set. 84% cr,180cd with 8k hp. Relic scorer gave me a double s so I’m satisfied (it’s 4 piece disciple and 2 piece salsotto)

[@starlancer]

a video like this takes me back to your E7 gear video's. loving this content. I' m sorry for your losses but it's good entertainment ;)

[@Ellistfu]

Omg I cried when u threw away the hp boots it’s actually super good on him if you play him w speedy bronya

[@adambrezani2034]

thank you Moga for these videos. I dont feel bad about my relic luck

[@JokerOfCards]

and this is why I love moga’s vids, their relic rng is actually relatable unlike other ccs that get so freaking lucky every single time smh

[@kaido8452]

I got really lucky in farming blade relic and now my cv is 80ish crit rate and 150 crit dmg i didnt expect to get his light cone so i used the model to get crit rate, now im over flowing with 100% crit if in battle

[@the_master3912]

I've been waiting for ur video cause it always makes my day man❤️🙃

[@cmszd_]

i still havent farmed longevous disciple a single time cause trace materials are just too damn expensive. i did get some rutilant arena pieces with immersifiers and my first two were literally perfect. granted when i rolled the orb i got a ton of break effect😢

[@ithamarlowe6158]

I was lucky that my first relics were both Crit rate body pieces, with hp substats, But i just can´t get the damn HP boots. I use inert salsotto with him and my second option would be celestial Differenciator if I could get his crit damage high enough to get the bonus. But Rutilant Arena is pretty much made for hunt characters, perfect for Shushang and Dan Heng. Blade´s skill only enhances and doesn't attack so that 20% skill damage doesn´t really do much. I used Inert salsotto because it enhances his ultimate and his follow by 15%, so he does benefit a lot from it.

[@sorakey4005]

same problem as well, i have to run hp% piece because with crit rate piece, my crit gonna be 109%

[@huntercrow9553]

personally i want blade to be on 60-65 crit rate before set effects so that the crits can be comfier instead of crit fishing im currently on 58% to 160% still farming for a crit damage chest with 1-3 crit rate sub ps. im running secret vow

[@mobimui3577]

HIII MOGAA THANKS FOR THIS VID!!!

[@bombdememo]

The relic grind can be really annoying 😂 I have mine at 8.8k hp. Decided to go hp orb and crit damage chest. He hits hard now. I was also doing too much crit rate on him. Glad I switched up his build.

[@Vampretta666]

I just got blade today, used all my free to play special pass and I got this best in slot orb :D SSS - wind damage - hp - speed - crit damage and break effect :D good luck dude

[@Shirouya]

I used CR body since I don't have his LC and then I gone all out for CD and Hp in other pieces, currently 55%143% my rope is garbage no hp and CD I think I can reach 170-180% CD later if I got better pieces

[@ShibaInu-xb4lx]

Yeah burned most of resin for him but now some kind of decent build with 7.8k hp 57/164 crit. And thanks to his signature light one, e2 and set bonus I'm almost reach 89 citrate.

[@flurry1409]

My f2p friend saved every single fuel you obtain in the game to farm for blade.I guess you could say she's obsessed

I think I need to build another planar/rope set. I saw a lot of people using Arena on him, while I used Inert on him. And I also just realized the buff from relic. So in battle, my Blade has 85/180 😂(could be 85/210 with Bronya).

[@HavLnt]

Don't worry about changing from inert to arena. It seems that for blade, they will be about the same, but you will need less crit rate with salsotto. So maybe just go with the one with better substats

[@Tahkoyaki]

doesnt current crit rate mean without any buffs even from 4 pc disciple?

[@xyefuh]

watching this after spending 50 fuels on blade and not getting good pieces in healing my pain

[@vinhinh6810]

there's no such thing as too much crit rate unless it's 100%. Mine has 90 with relics effect and he still misses crit quite alot

[@Sunhwk]

Him using that hp boots with double crit as a fodder pained me so much... Speed boots are nice if you don't have Bronya, but if you do have Bronya HP boots can be better.

[@mountaindew7701]

Fr I died inside a little when he did that

My Blade has 7551 HP, 67% CR, 167% CDMG, 135 SPD, 0% WindDMG. Still torn if I better go with HP boots and Wind sphere will it be better? But currently no HP boots no Wind sphere so need more farming which is sucks...

[@nekohina]

full hp blade is kinda really good due to his scaling. to the point where I hate that you threw away those hp boots since I need boots that good.

[@jackmanleblanc2518]

For boots only, speed might be a bit better but yeah going full HP otherwise is really good. Edit: hold on. I just got to that part of the video? Those boots were double crit!? Oh hell nah! Guy should have kept those!

[@ullashegde3632]

Exactly, bro saved mis artifacts and chose to feed this piece instead

I will only relic grind for my favorite characters. But I at least have something decent on him rn so... It's not like I'm in a hurry either.

[@reziak8744]

Do the 4pc longevous disciple activate the 2pc effect of the rutilant arena, like I have 57% crit rate on my blade and I have the 4pc longevous disciple that gives 8% crit rate (stackable) and 2 pc rutilant arena, will I able to use the effect of the 2pc rutilant arena?

[@Spriqqan]

Should u be using Tingyun for Blade since he doesnt scale off of atk?

[@yami_does_stuff]

The only thing tingyun really does for blade is the ult regeneration and the dmg% buff of her ult

[@Zeon081]

Blade is so far the best dps character overall. He has everything in his kit. Second highest st damage, strongest aoe(surprisingly), sustain. And he is easy to build. Granted weapon choice for him is not great so far. You pretty much need his LC for him to shine.

[@hunterace4275]

Not exactly that easy. If you run blade with a little more speed like 135 and Bronya 134 (ideally) you can effectively give blade 3 turns (Blade>Bronya[Blade]>Blade) which is extremely good for him and worth the loss of HP boots.

Depends on which planar set you will go with. If you go Salsotto you can go as low a 50% or even a bit lower crit rate, if you go for Rutilant Arena then you need at least 54% crit so the 4 piece relic set will give you the rest 16% to reach 70% crit rate.

Farming for Arena for Blade is very confusing. Inert Salsatto just gives him more damage compared to Arena especially since a majority of blade's damage come from him follow-up and ultimate.

[@rona0427]

Ruliant is only like ~2% better than Salsotto at E0 but starting at E1 salsotto pulls ahead. You’d run ruliant because farming world 7 gives you two good sets instead if world 5 which gives you a shit set and a good set
