Where They Fit on Your Team
Blade is a flexible mid who fits in front of or behind almost any game plan. His range does the work, so teammates mainly cover the moments he can't — jump-ins and projectiles. He is one of the easiest S-tier characters to slot into a team without reworking it.
Pick or Skip
Pick Blade if you want consistent damage and spacing with fewer gimmicks to learn. Skip him if you want a flashier mixup identity.
How to Play
Blade wins by keeping opponents at the tip of his sword. You do not need tricky setups: learn to punish whiffs at range and convert one good hit into damage. The matchup knowledge comes from knowing when to walk forward and when to stand still.
