Blade has officially joined the Marvel Rivals roster, and players are already finding devastating combos to make the most of his kit. If you want to delete enemies before they even know what happened, here are the must-know plays straight from the early access testing.

1. Daywalker Dash + Double Headshot

In gun form, open with Daywalker Dash to briefly stun your target, then immediately land two headshots. Against squishy heroes, this combo will instantly delete them before they can react. Both dash versions cause the stun, so you can follow up with pinpoint shots every time.

2. Gunsword Switch Animation Cancel

This is all about speed and timing.

  • Land any instance of damage.
  • Immediately switch to the other weapon.

Done correctly, this cancels Blade’s switch animation, letting you keep the pressure on. This trick is all about execution – perfect it, and you’ll shred targets before they can disengage.

3. “Soul Snatcher” Ultimate Combo

This lethal sequence is perfect for targets under 350 HP:

  1. Start with Daywalker Dash to stun.
  2. Activate Blade’s ultimate to knock their soul free.
  3. Lock and claim it before they can fight back.

If they’re low enough, it’s an instant KO with no counterplay.

4. Safe Engage and Disengage with Ultimate

Looking for a low-risk engage?

  • Dash into the air, activate your ultimate, then dash back toward your team.

This lets you either:

  • Re-engage and chase down kills.
  • Safely retreat using your block if the fight turns.

Blade’s kit rewards aggressive, precise players who can chain abilities with near-perfect timing. Between his dash stuns, weapon switch cancels, and soul-stealing ult, he’s a terrifying duelist in the right hands.
