Ancestral Sword and Hunter's Shotgun are Blade's weapons, and the former lets Blade slash forward to strike either once or twice. Meanwhile, the latter fires a projectile to deal damage at a distance. Another ability, Bloodline Awakening, boosts his slash speed briefly, grants lifesteal, and reduces self-healing.
As for Blade's right-click, it's Scarlet Shroud, which lets him parry with his Ancestral Sword to briefly become unstoppable. Scarlet Shroud also reduces incoming damage, and decreases the cool down of Daywalker Dash.
Speaking of Daywalker Dash, this one has different effects depending on Blade's current weapon. If Blade does Daywalker Dash while wielding Ancestral Sword, then he slows targets. If he's wielding Hunter's Shotgun, then he applies healing reduction.
Thousand-Fold Slash is Blade's ultimate. For fans of Vergil from the Devil May Cry franchise, this may look familiar. After pressing Q, Blade charges power and draws the Sword of Dracula to dash forward with a powerful sword strike. He also leaves a trail of slashes that reduces enemy healing.
Finally, when pressing C for a team-up for the New Moon team-up, Blade goes invisible and gains healing over time. He can also do a targeted dash attack during this team-up.
