Recommended build
Light Cone
The Unreachable SideHP, CRIT Rate and the frequently refreshed damage bonus all match Blade's HP-scaling enhanced attacks and follow-ups.
When to use it : Blade must be attacked or consume his own HP to activate the one-attack DMG window.
Relics
HP improves Blade's whole kit and his Skill-enhanced attacks rapidly maintain both CRIT Rate stacks.
When to use it : Consume HP twice to reach the full two-stack CRIT Rate bonus.
Planar Ornaments
Max HP directly scales Blade's damage and the threshold adds a large unconditional CRIT DMG bonus in a proper build.
When to use it : Keep Blade above 5000 Max HP so Bone Collection grants its CRIT DMG bonus.

Blade spends HP to enhance his basic attacks, stores damage taken as Charge and releases Shuhu's Gift after five stacks.
How to play it
- 1Use Hellscape once, then spend its three-turn duration on Forest of Swords rather than recasting early.
- 2Let enemies and enhanced attacks build Charge while the healer restores enough HP to stay safe.
- 3Use Death Sentence to set HP and deal burst damage; align it with support buffs when possible.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
Prydwen and GameRekt's direct character analysis agree on HP scaling and Longevous Disciple. Their older baseline was checked against the immutable released 4.0–4.4 delta and local 4.4 effects; Bone Collection's 5000-HP threshold and the 135/134 turn order are explicit assumptions.

Independent fan recommendations based on released data. Shield-heavy sustain suppresses HP-loss triggers, and low enemy aggression slows Shuhu's Gift.
