Fighter dossier

At a glance

Big buttons at every range, and a katana that ends arguments.

Archetype: Range Control
Difficulty: Moderate
Team: Samurai Outriders

Strengths

Large buttons dominate neutral at every range
Heart Stopper attacks while closing distance
Daywalker Deflect covers his defense

Weaknesses

Heart Stopper uses are limited per stock
Deliberate tempo, not a mixup machine

Game plan

Blade is a methodical fighter, not a rushdown one. His large, far-reaching attacks control neutral at any distance, and Heart Stopper lets him attack from range while approaching, following up Skills like Bullet Barrage and Glaive Strike. Heart Stopper carries a limited number of uses, shown by its icon, so each one is a decision. Daywalker Deflect anchors his defense while he picks the moment to close.

Team synergy

The frontline stabilizer of the Samurai Outriders: while Ghost Rider and Deadpool manage their gauges, Blade quietly wins the neutral.

Eric Brooks, the Dhampir they call the Daywalker: a vampire's strength with none of the weaknesses, carrying the god-killing Muramasa Blade.

Blade is a character in Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls and part of the Samurai Outriders team. He mixes melee and ranged attacks and gap-closing options to keep constant pressure on opponents.
