honestly blade is such an insane unit. he might not be imbibitor levels of damage but his versatility is wild, definitely gonna get him when he eventually reruns now that we got lynx. great swarm 5 solo as always, leveling and swapping relics mid run is something ive never thought of before lol
Blade has honestly been the star of my characters so far and I have everyone else too - definitely go for him when he reruns! Thank you very much! Yeah the relic swapping was super memey but looks like it paid off :)
Blade is honestly so good and not just " replacable" like the other dps chars, mainly just cause he is not just the dmg dealer, he honestly can be a flex slot for almost any team, cause his survivability is just so good, because alot or people might say he's just "bad and not as good as kafka, IL and jinglui" but those are genshin players that have never played a turn based game Before and don't understand what a "Tank" is, and why those types of units are good
yep, his my favourite unit in the game and wanted him from day one, yh hid not the highest damaging but he does enough, and with luocha he beats every content for me.
Abundance gets better as you progress through the path. The only issue with abundance is that my characters struggle to fight the initial boss fights as it doesn't provide any kind of buff initially. You need to get other blessings
yeah it takes a lot of time to ramp up and the beginning is definitely the hardest part! once you can get past the domain 2 boss it becomes a lot easier (and then of course the final boss is tricky)
what a great season this was to watch the last week and the grand finale of the solo king blade arc will always be a run to remember. Getting the final hidden gold hunt pathstrider and in turn completing everything in swarm disaster and finally locating the barrels behind the tent. I look forward to the next season the Landau's Redemption arc. Also happy Thanksgiving weekend to my fellow Canadians :)
AYE !! I was Hoping for this HEHEHEH LETS GOO ! Edit: I GENUINELY DON'T BELEIVE YOU GOT 30 BARRELS WITH BLADE LIKE EVEN MY REALLY RANGED ONE SUCK ALOT BUT WOW THIS WAS SOO ENJOYABLE
Congrats! I've tried this challenge a few times since Swarm Disaster released but my best failed at the second boss. I might have to go for it agin now that I see it's possible.
yep the key will be stacking abundance and getting those two big fighting spirit ones (stack up to 35, which then unlocks damage reduction per stack - absolutely MASSIVE)
@@artumbo FR FR, but since I'm yet building my blade and dnt rlly care about soloing, I'm duoing Blade and Clara with the same idea, try it out man, btw if this comment get pinned is a gr8 thing
No regrets getting E1S0 as f2p ,I also got every banner character after him...my luck is just something else in this game.I am pretty sure I didn't fail pity since I first pulled on Blade weapon. I also like solo-ing with him,but there ain't no way I am not bringing IL to those barrels and trotters.
hey i've been having trouble with disaster 5! i have a lot of eidolons on my 5 stars and they're quite invested but I always die to the last bug :( are there any tips you can give me? or should i just try until my path of trailstrider is more upgraded
Alr so I got another question. So I keep seeing in videos, and the final swarm boss weaknesses changing. Like in one vid, it's physical, and the other is wind. Is there a reason for this? PS: I have not reached swarm disaster yet on my account
yeah unfortunately it can screw you over sometimes and give you none of the elements you want but i guess that's simulated universe as a whole with all the blessings and choices
I was actually thinking of saving for dhil e6 - or, at the very least, e2. Not because I like his kit, but because, as a f2p, It'd be kinda nice to have at least 1 char. that can get me through content like swarm disaster 5. However, seeing blade like this is making me want to pull for Blade + Jingliu - any suggestions?
Depends, if you dan heng even at e0, pull for blade and jing liu as that gives you elemental coverage, however if you don't have dan heng, go for him plus blade or jingliu whichever you like, you should have atleast two dps plus elemental coverage is good
I have cleared Swarm 5 as f2p, with e0 dan heng and e0s1 blade and for dan heng I didn't even have fall of an aeon, I had a secret vow and he still does 160-170k in moc and in Swarm he went upto 1.5m damage, so you don't need e2 and instead can go for more character, (consider rerun of sliver wolf if you don't have her and luocha as well), my dan heng build is 64:143 with 3k atk and 106 spd and 8 8 8 talents, so not even max
with full teams, blade and imbibitor lunae will absolutely DESTROY swarm even at e0 - it really just comes down to blessings and making use of the path resonance (e0 dhil and qingque with propagation for example is the most broken thing in the game) you definitely won't need his e2, especially if you don't like his kit that much!
elation + destructions paths will do and use shield on her every time because she might die easy and try too use tanky march with 50% crit rate stats@@artumbo
Who do you think can solo Swarm 5 and with what path?
Check out my twitch, full VODs are also there! www.twitch.tv/artumbo :)
I think our queen Kafka could solo with Nihility path. Thoughts? 🤔💭
@@HHQ74that sounds doable! Nihility is super broken so I’ll definitely give it a shot :)
I saw a clara with a destruction path, she's unkillable
@@nataniellouieyeah that's his video lmao
Physical Trailblazer gets some Def and a bit of healing innately, so I’m kinda curious if it could work 😅
Isn't it ironic that what Blade want the most is to die, and then Hoyoverse decided to make Him one of the hardest character to kill 😅
LOOL he tries so hard but he’s literally indestructible
@@artumboin... DESTRUCTable. MWAHAHAHAHAHA
Well, if he isn't hard to kill, he wouldn't want to die anymore, he would already be dead.
that's the point tho...
The biggest irony would have been for him to get a Revive in his kit.
‘Terrifying self-healing ability’ YES BLADE IT IS TERRIFYING
LOOOL looks like he unfortunately managed to survive
Gets so close to death only to heal back up 😆
@@Celestial-yq6hzblade trying to stop his intrusive thoughts from healing himself only to fail
"What if I..."
"Fuck I did it again"
Footage of blade trying to kill himself to end his Mara Suffering and failing hard.
Poor guy went to the hardest content hoping it could finally end him
honestly blade is such an insane unit. he might not be imbibitor levels of damage but his versatility is wild, definitely gonna get him when he eventually reruns now that we got lynx.

He never leave my party even once since i got him ❤
Blade is basically a tank that deals huge damage.
Blade is one the most satisfying units in the game
I LOVE his follow up attack and sound
Blade running for his life to hit those barrels was pretty funny
we were a FRACTION of a second from missing it too
My brother, your transitions from the intro's sneak peek to the start of the video have been flawless. Much respect 😊
Thank you!! Really appreciate it :)
This is canon, Blade tries to die but just cannot and instead suffers
The roach himself
Lol you're so on the grind man, from stream to video in less than 5 hours. Big props
Taking advantage of the long weekend haha
Always happy to see you on stream!
This is basically the definition of the protagonist having plot armor
*Tanks a nuke and still survived by plot armor*
he's literally the unkillable roach

glad you were there for it, what a moment that was
landau's redemption arc will come! happy thanksgiving :)
This is why BLADE IS THE GOAT! He is Tank and DPS on one body!
he just does it all!
The dedication is insane
The work is done :)
When the bugs ult but didn't even break the shield, so hilarious
Blade didn’t even flinch 😂
Definitely gonna pull his signature next rerun , 9k hp with boots , orbs and rope is perfect for solo runs since I use salsoto on him
That’s a good plan! Best of luck :)
Im running 102/166 with 110 speed and 8.3k hp with wind damage orb
He’s GOATED
@@Mr_AntiSocial Idk I'm more of an hp orb myself
@@hadiibrahim3880 I would be too but i got a wind orb with 19% hp
Petition to make motion blur a settings in the base game...so many abilities look extra clean with it imo.
agreed, i'll sign right now it's just way too sick
THIS IS AMAZING. GREAT JOB MAN
thanks man! appreciate it
I feel so happy that you got it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to tune into the stream for this run, but congrats!
thank you! and it's ok there will always be a next one :)
POV: you are the boss battle
-blade user
The true final boss
lore accurate blade
gotta love how persistent he is
I'm finally starting to understand the game. The star thing is now one i always keep an eye for. And the one that revives after a killing blow
Those are definitely life savers! Good luck on your runs :)
Star thing?

0:27 damn that was clean
As a Blade main. Wow brotha. Just wow, I applaud.
BALDE MAINS RISE
Motion blur should be added as a togglable feature. It looks so clean in this game
hopefully we can get more graphics options in the future cause it looks SO good
AYE !! I was Hoping for this HEHEHEH LETS GOO !
Edit: I GENUINELY DON'T BELEIVE YOU GOT 30 BARRELS WITH BLADE LIKE EVEN MY REALLY RANGED ONE SUCK ALOT BUT WOW THIS WAS SOO ENJOYABLE
GLAD YOU ENJOYED, thank you! i was so shocked when blade got the 30 barrels 😂
Congrats! I've tried this challenge a few times since Swarm Disaster released but my best failed at the second boss. I might have to go for it agin now that I see it's possible.
thank you! definitely - should be a bit easier now but it'll all depend on blessing luck too
Been there on twitch for every try, and yet the one i didnt make it you get the clear. Classic. Congrats!
oh noooo wish you were there - but yeah we'll have a lot more challenges
thank you!
congrats! took ya long enough, also those trotters were some dementia gaming stuff
thanks! yeah i dont even know what i was doing there
Glad to see this as Blade main :D
blade mains rejoice :)
2:20 So THATS where those last three barrels were.. I was going crazy trying to look for them for the longest time.. 🤣
i could NOT find it until that run and i've probably done that domain dozens of times 😂
*proud Blade main noises*
BLADE MAINS REJOICE
@@artumbo BLADE MAIN NEVER DIES
I always love to see Bladie solo since the day he release
let's goooo
Not getting blade's lightcone was my biggest mistake ever.... I'll be sure to get it next rerun
good luck if you're pulling for it!
@@artumbo Thank you 😭
ohhh nice job ~ Abundance with Blade was my first clear on swarm disaster 5, but I never tried doing it solo.
thank you! yeah blade abundance was my first clear too
Eyy, u did it, lets goo, congrats!🎉
I did my march full run too💀
YOU DID YOUR MARCH FULL RUN I’ll need to check that out when I wake up, remind me to!
@@artumbo Yea i did it a while back, sure, I'll remind you, now if u don't mind me munching on ur VOD for the blade solo🤝
@@artumbo reminder🤝
Very cool how blade solo is easy, ya just need to get abundance and fighting spirits, some elation helps a lot too
yep the key will be stacking abundance and getting those two big fighting spirit ones (stack up to 35, which then unlocks damage reduction per stack - absolutely MASSIVE)
@@artumbo FR FR, but since I'm yet building my blade and dnt rlly care about soloing, I'm duoing Blade and Clara with the same idea, try it out man, btw if this comment get pinned is a gr8 thing
yooo the transition at 0:28 was hella clean
thanks!
Congrats on finally getting the clear with Baldie! I so wanted to tune into the stream for this run but had to go to bed T-T time zones suck
it's okay we'll have more challenges! i'll try to find better times to stream and thank you so much :)
i’m so early omg. i’ve been bingeing your videos 😭
You are early! Happy to hear that hope you’ve been enjoying :)
@@artumbo I have! they're so entertaining :D
Kafka: damn this coat is expensive
Silver Wolf: damn this console is expensive
Blade:
Blade is fun.
He’s got the most satisfying animations and sounds
Man these transitions in the beginning always get me xD
ehe :)
Blade looked like a stand user in the thumbnail.
the yaoshi stand 😂
PROUD KING BLADIE MAIN 🗣️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Woooo congratssssss
thank youuu!
Transition in the start is so clean
thank you!!
yay i made it!! i was about to sleep but time to watch this first :3!
YAAY have a goodnight!!
@@artumbothank you!! this solo run was so satisfying to watch!!! lets go unkillable blade! 💛💛💛
That transition was really smooth on the ulkt part at start
Everything went perfectly that run, and thinking about it, I feel like it had to for this to work 😆😅
the stars finally aligned after i don't even know how many attempts 😭
Hell yeah let’s gooooo Blade
bladie coming in clutch
No regrets getting E1S0 as f2p ,I also got every banner character after him...my luck is just something else in this game.I am pretty sure I didn't fail pity since I first pulled on Blade weapon.
I also like solo-ing with him,but there ain't no way I am not bringing IL to those barrels and trotters.
holy that's some insane luck, hope it continues!
The barrels at 2:22 are the reason I've never got 30/30 there lol. I could never find them. Now I know.
i had the same problem for the longest time 😂
14:24 bro i was so scared for you when you misclicked lol that wouldve been an awful way to lose a great run
Man literally to angry to die
hopefully he gets to rest 😂
"It's all about the adds"
* places an ad right after *
Ok I see what you did there mr artumbo
WAIT i have them set to auto
i guess youtube is too smart 😂
the scariest bug of all…. the roach
even a nuke couldn't kill him 😂
Ayee nice I'm probably gonna wait for his rerun banner
best of luck on his banner!
Your crit ratio is so godly
thank youuu we got a cracked defense boots on wuthering 😭
every sim universe run must always have auspicious lol
Best blessing by far
I thought I was cool when I my blade was healing my SW with his follow-ups after my support died... And then there's Artumbo.
that is cool though! that heal blast to allies can save lots of runs
After this i have to rethinking about should i built blade or not
100% worth it!
hey i've been having trouble with disaster 5! i have a lot of eidolons on my 5 stars and they're quite invested but I always die to the last bug :(
are there any tips you can give me? or should i just try until my path of trailstrider is more upgraded
i would just focus on leveling up pathstrider for now and you should be able to brute force it!
thanks!! love your videos :))) @@artumbo
I saw another guy do this too, so it’s not just insane luck, it can be replicated. I might try it myself. Although I don’t have his LC so.
Give it a shot! It’s one of the most fun challenges - prepare to reset a lot while learning the strategy but at the end it was super worth
The (Follow up attacks have a chance to give a skill point)blessing is a good blessing ngl
yeah it's a godsend - that and the skill point on heal
ggs man, i was trying this weeks ago but left it for another time cuz i think my Blade wasn't good enough, gotta get back to it at some point
GG you’ll definitely be able to now, make sure to slap on 2pc wuthering as well
Can motion blur just be a toggle pls? It's so clean man
Quite unique relic sets for this run, very well done. Could u make another blade guide team comp for Gold n Gears?
late comment BUT how bout with imbibitor lunae. or solo luocha because he can heal scaling off attack?
those are definitely doable and i'll give them a shot as well! im wondering if qingque can also do it LOOOL
Question - why DEF buffs if it’s blade? Doesn’t he need crit dmg/rate and hp? Is there any blessing that needs high DEF stats? Plz answer my question
truly on man stand
so proud of him
live footage of blade vs his own mara
Alr so I got another question. So I keep seeing in videos, and the final swarm boss weaknesses changing. Like in one vid, it's physical, and the other is wind. Is there a reason for this?
PS: I have not reached swarm disaster yet on my account
after you clear the very first boss in the very first plane, you get the option to pick between two random weaknesses to give the final boss
I see! That'll come in handy when I eventually unlock swarm
yeah unfortunately it can screw you over sometimes and give you none of the elements you want but i guess that's simulated universe as a whole with all the blessings and choices
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Blade be like: please kill me bugs
The bugs: we tried!!
turns out he was the bigger roach 😂
You are godlike omfg
felt godly to play blade like that
it's just a shame there is just not enough jades to get everyone lol
I had to skip blade for kafka, might pull for him for his rerun someday
yeah there are just way too many options - hope he reruns soon though!
The fact that this man is able to solo SD 5 with Blade, and I can’t even do SD 3 even with a Gepard and Abundance makes me feel dumb 😅
dont worry! you'll be able to for sure once you level up all the paths :)
Against my better judgement...Imma try this!
LETS GOOO YOU CAN DO IT! Good luck :)
lowkey lore accurate blade 🥵
No one is talking about these transitions because no one noticed. That Kafka one was clean as hell.
Holy fk blade and clara duo run next will be funny to watch
ooo the duo could be interesting
Lore accurate vlade
In the beginning, how did Kafka go from 83% to 36% before Bladie's burst even hit..?

yep, that trotter experience....i cheat in my runs by bringing Dan Heng IL just to kill those trotters
IL vs trotters is one of the most satisfying things ever
Im curious how numby will fare (fair?) Against those trotters

with full teams, blade and imbibitor lunae will absolutely DESTROY swarm even at e0 - it really just comes down to blessings and making use of the path resonance (e0 dhil and qingque with propagation for example is the most broken thing in the game)
you definitely won't need his e2, especially if you don't like his kit that much!
@@artumbo Alright, thanks a lot! I guess I will go with DHIL then (also if I go for Imbibitor Lunae then goddamit I might as well e6 him)
Jesus Christ how did you pull this off... My team died even with full enhanced abundance and blade+fuxuan 💀
took many tries 😭

Oh my blade immortality vs swarm bug is fun but nothing more excited than getting the 30 barrel XD. Do we talk about the trotter? Heh
let's not talk about the trotter 😭
I did this on march 7th and its cool but in plot twist i do presavation and destruction paths! (Try it!)
will do! which one did you find harder? and im guessing it's pretty straightforward once you get good follow up attack blessings
elation + destructions paths will do and use shield on her every time because she might die easy and try too use tanky march with 50% crit rate stats@@artumbo
I've just cleared diff 5 with lynx, gepard, fu xuan and march
let's goooo! that must have been so unkillable loool
