Blade is the latest Duelist character released in Marvel Rivals Season 3.5. His primary weapons are the Ancestral Sword for melee combat and Hunter's Shotgun for short to mid-range encounters. The shotgun fires projectiles that break into shrapnel after 8m and has damage falloff after 20m, making crosshair design important for maximizing damage output. Below is a crosshair made specifically for Blade that helps you understand exactly where your shotgun pellets will spread.
Note: While these settings work well for most Blade players, feel free to adjust them to match your personal playstyle.
Best Blade Crosshair in Marvel Rivals
Blade's best crosshair has a center dot and outer circle design. Since his melee weapon shows red outlines when enemies are in range (make sure you have the Attack Range Hint setting on), this crosshair is specifically designed for his Hunter's Shotgun. Here is the role of each component of Blade's crosshair:
- Center Dot: Use this dot for close-range shotgun aiming when targets are very close to you. This gives you precise aim for the initial projectile before it breaks into shrapnel at 8m.
- Outer Circle: This circle perfectly captures the spread of Blade's shotgun at 20m range. Try to have as much area of your opponent within this circle to deal maximum damage with the shrapnel spread. The more of the enemy that fits inside the circle, the more pellets will hit.
Since you won't be playing Blade at very long distances, there is no need for the traditional leading lines in this crosshair design.

Note: Since Blade was just released in Season 3.5, we are still testing different crosshair designs for him. We will update this guide as we learn more about what works best.
Why These Settings Work for Blade
Blade is a Duelist who excels at mostly close-range combat. This crosshair helps optimize his Hunter's Shotgun performance.
- The center dot provides precise aiming for close-range encounters (below 8m).
- The outer circle shows you the effective spread area at 20m range. Position enemies within this circle to ensure maximum pellet hits.
Remember that Blade's melee weapon will show red outlines when enemies are in range, so you won't need crosshair assistance for the Ancestral Sword. Focus on using this crosshair design to maximize your shotgun effectiveness before closing the gap for melee combat.
