Introductions
Mortenax Blade is a 5-Star character with the Fire
element who follows the Path of Nihility.
This page covers Mortenax Blade's Skills, Traces, Eidolons, and ascension stats.
Body like spring wood, heart like dead ash. Yet embers of a craftsman's spark still linger at his fingertips.
As ancient grudges are ignited once more, he promises to send both himself and the gods to the other side...
Torn flesh, tempered a thousand times into a blade... What answer will it create?
