Should I rank him up? I don’t see a lot of him anymore in discussion and in videos...

    Depends where you are at the game.
    In act 5 and early act 6 hell come in really useful, but later on he'll become meh

    Again...depends on where your at for progression and who else you have. He is also very useful in monthly cavalier quest as well. I use mine for that quite a bit. Like previous poster said very limited in act 6 unless you have trinity and need a villain/dimensional being shut down.

    Eh, mine is not getting ranked up. That gem is so much better used on fury or aegon. He is cool for act 5 but isnt really top for later stuff.

    I'm barley uncollected haha. Haven't been able to finish even Act 5.3.1. I guess I'll rank him up! No point in waiting for fury or Ægon since I only open roughly 2 5 stars a month.

    That's a great mindset. Waiting for the perfect champ can make you go insane haha. And set you back on content if you already have champs who can get it done.

    Yes he’s a great champion

    Definitely would recommend awakening and ranking up. He was my go-to champ for basically all of Act 5. He can melt anything that bleeds, regen like crazy, and shrug off debuffs when needed. I've taken him into Act 5 fights at less than 10% heath and come out with over 60%. And even if the defender can't bleed, he gets a great crit bonus on his SP2

    Rank him up but do not use the CAG unless you think the health recovery from his sig. is an ability you really want. Who knows, you may just awaken him through your next 5-Star crystal opening.
    Signature Ability: Vampiric Immortality - Blade consumes his own Power to recover from injuries at amazing rates.
    When Holding Block while below 70% Health, Blade’s healing factor allows him to recover 722.2 Health for the cost of 50~30% of a Bar of Power per second.
