Why is Blade so good?

I’ve heard many good things about him and quite a few people believe he’s the best in the game. Considering that I don’t have any version of him I was wondering if anyone could clue me in.

MASSIVE BLEED DAMAGE
MASSIVE POWER GAIN
MASSIVE REGEN
A FREAKING AWESOME LOOKIN SP2
Better if one forms the synergy team with 5* Blade + 5* GR + 5* Starky
The way people talk sometimes, it's like you can't function if you don't have him -- and I do. That's how I know that there are plenty of fights where his Synergies are useless.
I mean, come on. Danger Sense doesn't proc against non-dimensional beings or heroes. Blade doesn't get Power Gain against bleed immune champions, and none of his specials consequently will proc bleed.
So. Which character did i just describe is an absolute Blade killer?
Colossus, for crying out loud.
That's right. The character everybody is getting all weak in the knees about gets owned by a stacked Colossus.
Blade is a useful champion who has good, interesting Synergies. It's good to have him in the toolbox against annoying Mystical champions.
But my gosh. There are other characters who are equally effective in their own ways -- I have had OG Vision for the longest time, and let's just say there's a reason that dude's not in the five-star pool
Yea you are right, i'm seeing more and more colossuss in recent AW defense and seems like a very good counter against Blade.
Some even put Colossuss as an AW Boss.
@Mmx1991 I couldn't agree more. We should stop talking about him right now.
Also Sparky is almost just as good if not better then blade but because of the skill cap people dont say anything about him. Albeit they have different utilities.
Exactly -- people are really losing their minds about this character and I just don't get it -- Iceman. Rogue. Colossus. Cable. Beast. These are all counters to the stuff Blade does well, and it's not like these characters are hard to get.
If these elite alliances hadn't shifted to Mystic Wars, Blade would still be a very good champion but people would see that he has some serious weaknesses. What's he gonna do against a stacked Iceman?
Blade levels the playing field for some of the most unfair nonsense content in the game. But he requires synergies to do this. People are so fed up with mystic wars and OP defenders that they're acting like loons over him.
On his own, he's a pretty good champ. Everyone needs to calm down instead of crying about not having him, or even worse, bragging/posting/recording what he can do as if it has something to do with your skills instead of his synergies... as if no one else with blade can do exactly the same thing.
Top 5 champ with synergies. Not in the top 10 without.
He isn't even 10% of OG Dr. Strange. Overrated.
He can easily gain his health back against Iceman....if u experience with blade...
And I fought 70% physical resistance Iceman in modok's lab.... And my blade destroyed him easily...
His damage against bleed immunes is not that bad....4* rank 5 blade can damage 10-12k damage without bleed... He is not Luke cage or Kamala Khan without bleed..
Don't forget ... He has debuff reduction ability ..... pretty much a perfect champ for everything...who can regen without buff
Massive regen
Anti-MD
Insane Bleed
Insane Power Gain (due to Bleed)
Synergy capability to have +50% ATK against ALL villains
Guys is OP and half. 4* is better than most 5* R4 possibilties in the game.
Oh, and to top it off. THEY GAVE HIM SUPER HIGH PRESTIGE.
The new "staple". An absolute must-have.
"Massive" Regen is a bit of a stretch. While he has the ability to regen up to 75%, in more difficult fights it's not easy to regen to that level since block damage is high with him. His regen can be very good but tricky to get back to 75%.
Insane Bleed/Power Gain is stretching it as well. Getting the power gain means you have to be close to the opponent a lot. That can be difficult to do and not get hit all the time while blocking.
Synergies- His passive is against Dimensional Beings and Danger Sense activates. With my R4 4/55 it gives him an extra 1564 attack. My base attack with my mastery set up is 2101.
With Stark Spidey, that Danger sense gains an additional 45% potency.
With Ghost Rider Danger sense extends to Villains.
With Mephisto Danger sense extends to Mystics.
Anti- MD- He is not anti MD. Danger sense reduces Dimensional Beings Ability Accuracy by 40% and ignores Dimensional Beings immunities. It helps with reducing the effects of Limbo and Degen from Magik and Dorm. With the right synergies, it extends to Villains and Mystics. The math is fuzzy but I believe with Stark Spidey, it comes out to 65ish % ability accuracy reduction.
Overall Blade is still pretty amazing in most cases. For the comment about Colossus, make sure you have Stark Spidey and use him instead of Blade. It doesn't make Blade a bad champ because you chose to use him against Colossus, that's just bad life choices in general. :-)
so basically all heroes and immunes neuter his abilities and he needs 2 other champs to bring out his top potential.
doesn't sound OP to me. OG Strange was OP. blade is just pretty good in comparison, but excellent against mystic wars with the right synergies.
Yep
People are just going crazy because they’re used to getting absolutely smashed by typical mystic war defenders and blade finally provides some relief.
The hype increases due to kabam arbitrarily giving him top 3 prestige, so he simultaneously solves an AQ and AW problem.
However, still the most overrated champ in recent memory based on this hype.
Hype train. After years of making our life difficult, kabam finally provided a brainless offensive answer to mystic nonsense.
So now everyone wants in on the hype train and it results in throwing around trigger words like “insane” and “massive” about things that aren’t either by people who don’t even have blade.
Want to know who is best? Bring a 5* 5.65 one man team to AQ, AW, LoL, Act 5 and see who does best overall over all that content. It won’t be Blade. It’ll be Iceman.
But that's the thing, the only content that is meant for 1 champ is 1v1 arena fights. Many "OP" champs rely on synergies and team play. Iceman is great but can't take down a full map on his own. Duped Blade can at least regen. Iceman can't. Player skill can make more of a difference than anything else.
Iceman can take any path on any AQ map by himself. Iceman dominates AW and can clear entire paths by himself. Iceman can do every fight in LoL by himself. Iceman can clear act 5 by himself. 5* 5.65 version will have enough attack to do it. He’s not the biggest damage dealer but he can do it and do it painlessly. Blade will run up against several brick walls in that content, with or without synergies.
He is also immune to basically everything. He has no real weakness. He is the best overall champ.
But I hope everyone continues this blade is god nonsense. Whatever keeps the spotlight off my Iceman 🤷🏻♂️
First off, No. He's not immune to Bane. He is not immune to degen debuffs. His health pool is OK but hes not a tank. He will take block damage over time. There isn't a single champ that could clear Act 5 or LOL solo. If there was, there would be videos of it and lots of talk about it. Please stop that nonsense.
I’m just going to assume this is anti-iceman propaganda to underrate him and thus protect him from kabam.
Maybe people need to stop talking so much in general and just enjoy champs for what they can do. Instead of “hey everyone here’s another thread talking about how amazing this champ is.”
Idk if it’s the desire to feel included on the hype train or what, but they’re not telling anyone anything they don’t already know. They’re just shining a spotlight that doesn’t need to be turned on.
