Honkai Star Rail Blade: Traces, Eidolon and Ascension Materials

Blade is a five-star DPS unit from The Destruction Path in Honkai Star Rail that uses Wind element-based attacks and abilities to largely chip away at his own HP in exchange for huge single target and AoE-based damage.

As the Honkai: Star Rail 1.2 update approaches, Blade will be one of the five star characters joining the game’s roster. He is a former swordsman who now belongs to the Stellaron Hunters. He pledges allegiance to Destiny's Slave, walks the road of destruction, and possesses a terrible form of self-healing. To get the most out of Blade when you summon him on his banner, you must learn all of his talents and traces, which are listed in full below.
