Blade Guide & Abilities | Marvel Rivals Season 3

Blade debuts as a close-range Duelist in Marvel Rivals Season 3, specializing in lifesteal, anti-heal, and high-risk melee combat. His kit thrives on aggressive engagements and punishing out-of-position foes.

Blade’s Abilities Breakdown

Blade Chopper (LMB – Sword Mode): Ideal for finishing weakened enemies or building damage stacks in close quarters.
Hunting Gun (LMB – Gun Mode): Poke at enemies from a distance to disrupt healers or create openings.
Step and Chop (Shift): Chase fleeing targets or apply anti-heal effects in crowded fights.
Blood Liberation (E):
- Activates vampiric state with lifesteal on hits
- Blocks external healing but enhances attack speed/awareness
Best used during aggressive dives or cleanup phases. Avoid wasting it in low-stakes scenarios.
Defensive Stance (RMB): Mitigate damage while advancing or dueling opponents.
Ultimate (Q): A high-reward dash that deals AoE damage, usable for initiations or escapes.

Team-Up Synergy

Blade pairs with Cloak & Dagger via a Team-Up ability. Further details will be revealed later!

Optimal Playstyle

Harass enemies with gunfire before committing to melee combos.
Prioritize flanking and isolating targets to maximize lifesteal value.
Activate Blood Liberation strategically during all-ins—avoid relying on team heals once active.
Save Ultimate for crucial engagements or high-impact repositioning.

Blade excels against healer compositions and rewards decisive, aggressive play. Poor engagement timing often leads to overwhelming retaliation.
