An ok champ without.
My personal opinion is that people would think twice before ranking him cause members are looking for beyond God tier champs with high prestige and since blade is 11th highest skill champ, sooooo.... Yeah. Again this my personal opinion.
Act 5√
Aw : yeah in high tier wars he isn't used much, but at gold level I actually have seen him several times.
AQ: I don't know about Map 7 , never tried it so not gonna argue on it.
I guess prestige is what people are looking for. And I meant that he is 11th highest prestige skill champ, so people don't want to rank him up. But yeah he is pretty much God tier still.
As someone said " Never forget those who helped you in tough situations."
He is good for diss track, buffet, masochism, any bleed based nodes, electro, magik, dormammu, mephisto. Stun immune matchups he’s good once you get going as his powergain allows him to throw specials on pretty much every combo giving your opponent proportionally more power too so you can just bait and punish specials without much blocking or intercepting.
Cav eq used him a lot in the science and skill chapters, one shot magik boss every time and killed biohazard electro.
Herald science quest killed most of the path and void boss.
Using him to clear paths in act 6 but still at champion in that acc. I’ll use him for do you bleed medusa in 6.3 but guess his usefulness in story might start to wane at that point, we’ll see.
Gets a bad deal imo, he’s a really useful champ.
Danger sense is still a very useful tool IMO and with it he does hit hard. I’d describe him as a jack of all and master of none. For those of us sitting on 20-30 R5s we’re rarely going to use him but for progressing players I’d argue he’s still one of the best champs you could pull if you have GR to go with him.
Throughout 6.1-2 the majority of bosses are villains and blade is a very viable option - sure he’s not the best option, but the odds of a player working towards cavalier having the best option for each quest is low and he ticks a lot of the boxes to make them manageable.
However, lately i have been using him as a defender, since he benefits from the stubborn/defensive tag and usually gets me 2-3 def kills in Tier 5 AW.
Blade with Danger sense is still one of the best option, sometimes better than HT. Let me explain you why. If you are up against a mystic/villain path, HT will get you throught it but he would lose HP along the way. With Blade abd his infinite regen, you will demolish that path and finish wiyh 70% HP.
This month, Cavalier difficulty, chapter 3 Magik Boss... Blade was one of the best counters, along with HT and AA.
So yeah, overall he is still the 3rs best skill.champ out there behind Aegon and NF.
