Honkai: Star Rail – Blade

” A member of the Stellaron Hunters, and a swordsman who abandoned his blade.

Pledges loyalty to Destiny's Slave, and possesses a terrifying self-healing ability.”

Blade is a 5-star Wind character in Honkai: Star Rail, following the Path of Destruction. Blade's kit allows him to deal damage and sustain himself in battle. Lots of footage of Blade solo-ing different kinds of content has been circulating in the community, and this is thanks to his self-sufficiency in battle.

His signature Light Cone is The Unreachable Side.

Blade is briefly mentioned and shown during the Trailblazers' visit to the Xianzhou Luofu. With his release as a playable character, we can expect to learn more about this enigmatic Stellaron Hunter.

For the English voiceover, Daman Mills voices Blade. Mills also voices Lyney from Genshin Impact, Frieza from the Dragon Ball series, and Weiss from Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Miki Shinichiro does Blade's Japanese voice. He's known for a lot of roles across games and anime, such as Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Sanada Yukimura from Nioh, and Takumi Fujiwara across the Initial D franchise.
