Blade

Blade is a Skill Champion. Being a Skill Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Science Champions, but is weak to Mutant Champions.

Bio[]

When Eric Brooks’ mother was killed during his birth by a bloodthirsty vampire, the newborn Brooks’ blood was infused with vampiric enzymes. This event turned him into a Dhampir, a hybrid human/vampire, possessing the powers of a vampire like immortality, but none of their weaknesses. Eventually becoming known as Blade, he has the ability to sense supernatural phenomenon, enabling him to identify Dimensional Beings and quickly react to incoming threats, making him effective at hunting the most powerful beings in the Battlerealm.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

Magik
- Blade’s Danger Sense will always activate against Dimensional Beings, reducing their opponent’s Ability Accuracy while also granting Blade a huge attack increase. This means Magik’s Limbo will activate less frequently in a fight.

Archangel, Abomination
- Blade is able to reduce the potency and duration of Debuffs based on how much Power he has, making it a great counter against Champions that rely heavily on Debuffs in order to inflict most of their damage. However don't let Archangel inflict his Neurotoxin as that is a passive that Blade cannot remove.

Mystic Champions and Villain Champions
- Blade’s Synergies with Stark Spiderman and Ghost Rider allows him to activate Danger Sense against all Mystic and Villain Champions in The Contest. Watch out for your opponent’s Champion Tags!

Weaknesses[]

Ultron, Colossus and Iceman
- Any opponents that are immune to Bleed will greatly reduce Blade’s damage output and make him unable to gain Power when nearby Bleeding opponents.

Civil Warrior, Sentinel, Omega Sentinel and Scarlet Witch (Classic)
- Heal Block will neutralize Blade’s Signature Ability Regeneration aspect but Blade will still pay the Power cost.
Mole Man, Kingpin, Agent Venom
- Blade's damage comes mostly from Bleed debuffs. If the opponent is able to shrug these off quickly, his damage will be greatly reduced.

Recommended Masteries[]

Deep Wounds
- Blade’s Well Timed Block and Special 2 Attacks can inflict a lot of short duration Bleeds and Deep Wounds will greatly enhance their damage.

Recovery
- Blade’s Signature Ability and Recovery will allow him to regain more Health while still paying the same amount of Power per second.

Courage
- Blade can precisely control the amount of Health he has while below 70% Health, making it easier to stay just below the 50% Health range and benefiting from Courage’s Attack Rating increase.
