Mortenax Blade and Anomaly Arbitration 4.3 are out

June 1, 2026 · Before Himeko Nova arrives as Planarcadia’s second main push, we observe how Elation teams settle into the endgame reset with little elation shilling and how the new FuA team performs with no main DPS yet.

YouTube

  1. Ruri Goko

    While Blade is a strong unit, his best performance is locked behind specific teammates like Acheron. He is often ineffective in teams that cannot reliably trigger his follow-up attacks or that struggle without a traditional sustain unit, making his viability niche compared to more universal support characters.

  2. HoS: ”[Silver Wolf will] most likely be the top scorer for [the King] boss by the end of 4.3, which is a very unfavorable match up with constant spawns to dilute her bounce DMG with no special way to extend her Certified Banger. If that doesn’t convince you how good her number is, nothing will.”
  3. waveman: ”This Anomaly Arbitration is not the worst it’s ever been so far. It’s shocking, I know, but the difficulty is somehow regressing. Thanks in part because Elation is finally getting their legs broken for a bit and everyone else is celebrating on their grave.”
  4. MrPokke: ”Is this the most outrageous tier list yet?”

    Pokke accuses Prydwen of abandoning its reputation for being conservative and objective in its ratings

HoYo showed Mortenax Blade’s kit; must-pull for Acheron, Feixiao, Ashveil

youtube.com

May 27, 2026 · Blade completely replaces E2 Silver Wolf, Jiaoqiu or Cipher for Acheron and together with Ashveil, creates the strongest wheelchair of HSR 4.x so far. Triple DPS with Feixiao, highly usable with DoT, good everywhere sustainless.

Twitter

  1. @mrpokke

    ”Overall: 11/10 for Acheron mains. 8/10 wheelchair. Potential/10 for a new v4 non-Elation main DPS.”

  2. @herman_deal_

    ”Acheron vs Lygus: cost 3+5, Nikador: cost 2+5, Kafka, 40% RES: cost 3+5, Calamity: cost 3+5, King Pom-Pom: cost 3+5 BP, Flame Reaver: cost 4+3, Himeko: 3+5 BP.”

  3. @herman_deal_

    ”Update on best matchups for DoTs in sustainless 0 cycle. Mortenax can be used in Welt E4 teams if you’re not interested in low cost; it’s one of the best sustainless options in terms of comfort.”

  4. @kazjire

    FuA’s vertical investment chart: Blade’s E2 is a +48% increase, Ashveil’s E1 is +21%

  5. @nedgob

    ”people complaining about ashveil getting ‘gutted’ as if blade and him aren’t going to be one of the strongest cores”

  6. @theverlee

    ”the concept of never having to pull another nihility cone bc you have cipher’s s1”

YouTube

  1. Acheron + Blade

    E0S0 Acheron 1 cycles MoC 4.3 with a sustain

  2. Feixiao + Blade

    E0S0 Feixiao 1 cycles MoC 4.3 with Ashveil, Hyacine. No fully synergistic sustain.

  3. The Herta + Blade

    Blade and Tribbie clear in 150 AV; Anaxa and Tribbie in 170

  4. DoT + Blade

    A 7 cost 0 cycle on MoC 4.2’s King Pom-Pom: E1S0 Hysilens, E1S0 BS, E1S0 Kafka, E0S0 Blade. Note: DoT clears starting to get more expensive.

  5. Evanescia + Blade

    Also worth noting: the Blade + Welt duo gives Evanescia a 75% ult amp when your EMC is tied up elsewhere

  6. Castorice: Blade vs Cyrene

    Both Cyrene and Blade clear in 130 AV but the more vertical you have on the team, the bigger the gap in favor of Cyrene is

  7. Castorice: Blade vs Evernight

    Evernight clears in 130 AV, Blade in 196

  8. E2 Evernight: Blade vs Cyrene

    Blade and RMC clear in 102 AV; Cyrene and RMC in 111; Blade and Cyrene in 135. Keep in mind E2 Evernight is less reliant on Cyrene; E0 won’t perform like this.
