Blade is great, but not as great as advertised imo. I’d rather Stark Spidey

both are overrated

For prestige!

In all honesty, Sparky has the ability to increase his base attack by getting poise charges. While Blade, he can only increases his base attack from synergy and when activating Danger Sense.

So, I like a high base attack champ, hence, I'll go with Blade 'cause ranking up will give him extra attack rating. While Sparky, even at R4 can wreck damage in every fight when you have a lot of poise charges. So I'll go for Blade.
Plus he has higher prestige than Sparky which is nice

I have both champs. My ss had more utility in 5.3 than blade. Higher consistent damage output, better powercontrol, no need to rely on synergies taking up valuable space in your squad. Plus he is better at tackling tricky specials.

Blade only has god tier damage against targets that bleed (for power gain) and with synergies (e.g. ghostrider) against certain champs. As a result he can be a bit slower in some fights. If blade had been awakened it would be much closer as his regen will save you quite a bit in potions.

Additionally for some of the trickier minibosses (5* spidey on unblockable 1, 5* dormammu unblockable 2 and powergain) stark spidey ends up working out as good as, if not better than blade.

Once i did 5.4 100% i chose to r5 my 5* blade mainly for pi, aw boss kills and sustainable regen over stark spidey, who at r4 provides more than enough damage.

I would say blade. But honestly both are overratted unless it's 5★.
