Technically booming blade does not work with shadowblade, unless you can convince your DM that the shadowblade is worth 1 silver piece, or your DM is nice and just ignores this kind of BS restriction.

some perks of echo knight: It is summoned at a point within 15 feet that you can see meaning you can summon it through windows or cracks under doors, it can move in any direction so RAW it can move straight up into the air or above difficult terrain with it's movement, it doesn't disappear until the end of your turn so you can summon it in a safe spot then you can run into a dangerous area on the next turn and then rubber band back to your echo.

You wouldn't get it until Level 13 in this build, but Steel Wind Strike is an offensive teleport that fits right in with this character fantasy.

Ok so idea here. So hang on. 1-6 Bladesinger wizard and get "Sapping Sting" cantrip 7lvl death Domain Cleric 8-10 Echo Knight fighter 11-20 Bladesinger Running in and after a hit cast sapping sting. If they fail. You move on to the next. But your echo pummels them with advantage cause of the secondary effect of sapping sting. Lol 😆 and with the dip in cleric for that Reaper ability. And the cantrip is necromancy you can get a two 4 one effect knocking them prone. 👍 👍 👍 Not a bad build idea for minute and half into the video. And oh look no tortle. Lol ☕️

i did thief rogue3/wizard5, grabbing the blink spell, find familiar so we have infinite advantage, and green flame blade, but more importantly, one of the most underrated items in dnd is Oil, which can be stacked and because specific beats general(pg.7 phb), we can bonus action oil an opponent, action blink, next turn, we re-appear, oil again, green flame blade, dishing out 2d6+2d8+dex mod+10 damage. decent blink build.

I just made my first ranger the other day, with a similar concept. He’s a mark of passage human, monster slayer. The spell list for passage humans fits perfectly with a blink style mobile striker.

if you take the Warcaster feat you CAN cast booming blade through your echo but only as a reaction (AoO) attack

I am not so sure about the echo knight dip, echo knight is very bonus action intensive, it is a bonus action to summon your echo, as well as a bonus action to switch places with it. But you are already activating shadowblade with your bonus action on your first turn, and you want to use misty step. Here is a few common scenarios (once you have sentinel). 1: your echo is next to an enemy, they try to ignore it and move to attack your ally, the attack of opportunity from your echo stops them from moving, they still have their action, so they kill your 1hp echo. 2: your echo is next to an enemy, they use some their multiattack to kill the echo, and then move over to attack your allies with the rest of their attacks. In both scenarios you protected your allies (great), but you lost your echo (not so great). This means you will use your first bonus action on turning on shadow blade, your second might be resummoning your echo, your third your get to do your stick, and your fourth, the combat is already winding down, just hunting down enemies. Obviously it won't always go like this, but something similar will happen quite often and you won't be blinking all that much. I think you will be doing more blinking just relying on your spell slots.

Holy cow! This is very fun sounding. Thanks Sage

Imo the best Blink "Blade" character is a 6th level shadow monk with the eldritch adept feat for devil's sight. if the area isn't already dim light or darkness you can spend 2 ki to cast darkness and then have unlimited 60 ft bonus action blinks while in the dim light or darkness to another dark area. also free advantage on the next attack after you blink is always nice.

always hyped for these flavor builds

I think Astral Elf is the better race choice choice. Astral Step works well.

I like picking Shadar Kai and shadow monk. Works fabulous !

Two levels of wildfire druid gives decent damaging teleports with wildfire spirits fiery teleportation

I'm currently playing a sort of semi blink blade, it's a hombrew class that I've made. The reason it's a "sort of semi blink blade" is cause it's whole thing is to commit to one target and build up DOT effects, also the "blink" part comes from being a shadar-kai with the fey touched feat. So I guess it ain't quite a blink blade 😅

The soul knife rogue has a blink blade ability at level 9

Excellent build, very fun. Weird challenge for you, make a brand new gish subclass might take a while I know. You can use any class you want. Only real limitation is making it balanced enough that dms wouldn't outright ban it for being op

So, I made my blink blade a Eladrin using teleportation to get surprise. Using soul knife rogue, and conjuration wizard. So, at max level I'd be a 6th level conjuration wizard and 14th level soul knife rogue. Basically, take the rogue which is already really hard to hit, and make it even harder to hit in addition to giving it psychic damage sneak attacks, booming blade for additional damage, and various buff spells like mirror image, blink, and more.

Horizon walker 11 for 10ft teleport at will (you can attack a location) and before any attack. Then echo night or trickery domain.

if it's a spelljammer campaign or the dm's allows it an astral elf also gets a free BA teleport

Good build. Another possible mix for the caster side is Warlock, via Relentless Hex Invocation.

If youre okay with delaying extra attack for a level starting as fighter 1 will give you that CON professiency more HP and a fighting style

I love echo knight, but man, managing your echo in a fight is a pain in the ass. its a bonus action to summon, a bonus action to swap places, if you end the turn more than 30 feet from it it disappears, it has a flat move speed of 30 (not scaling with your ms), and only 1 hp (pretty good ac tbf).

Love this idea, it seems like something I'd love to play. Idea for you is there a world where a Lunar Sorcerer/Rogue build is viable?

Thought you would do Relentless Hex Warlock. If you also take Omen Invocation you can cast Bestow Curse at level five so it doesn’t require Concentration. You put that on a familiar or comrade say reducing their to hit you. Then you can use Hex or Hexblade curse to target enemies. So you can teleport every turn if you want to multiple targets.

I love this concept though I think I'd do a Shadar Kai pure Blade Singer myself . With the right feats and ASI you can have solid AC and HP , full caster , a bunch of extra misty steps (some at 1/2 damage) and at high level unlimited misty step or shield . So you are a blink tank/blade combo full caster with an average of 162 HP AC 17 without blade song.

This build seems very familiar to trickster build in Outriders. Sounds like a cup of tea for me to play in DnD

A lot of your builds seem cool but not my style, but this... this I like.

I'd also add blur and I'd flavor it that when that disadvantage causes a miss as me blinking in and out

instead of dueling I would take the interception fighting style. It doesn't do a crazy amount for us at this level but the party is going to love us regardless.

Very cool

Love it

Blink blade idea: Point Buy: Char 15 Dex 14 Int 13 Con 12 Wis 10 Str 8 Summer Eladrin race to add damage to your fey step. Bump charisma to 16 and constitution to 14 If your dm let's you take Wild Spacer Background Hexblade Warlock 8- Pact of the Chain(Imp): Take the Sigil of ill omen, Relentless hex, Ghostly Gaze, and Voice of the Chain Master for your invocations At level 4 take War Caster Level 8 take Fey Touched picking Int to bump it to 14 Bladesinger Wizard 6 Echo Knight fighter 6 bump your int to 16 at wiz 4 and 18 at fighter 4, char to 18 at fighter 6 Take the bladetrips and hex, but for other spell pyf. Early game(1-6) Will be standard Hexblade things with a little extra damage from your fey step here and there. Level 7 you get to use Relentless hex in tandem with Ghostly Gaze and VotCM to place hex or Hexblade curse on enemies behind full cover. You can also use hex on your familiar to teleport to it. You can bestow curse on creatures who extra damage wouldn't be as helpful on through your familiar From there the rest is pretty simple

Thanks.

Alternatively a sorlock gish with the astral shard would also work

Played a futuristic game of DND used the echo + assassin rogue + gloomstalker to be a menace with a sniper rifle. Bad angle? Adjust with clone Enemy hidden? Shoot through the clone. Got caught? Nope it was a clone while we escape out the back

You should read the book "catch 22" so you learn what a catch 22 really is and means.

I like it.

have u considered taking the 6th level artificer infusion "boots of the winding path"? i think that's and underrated item, but i get that it'd cost a 6lvl multiclass

Hi! Great video! How would you build JJK's Gojo Satoru (focusing on building an unarmed mobile striker with displacement spells)? I was thinking Variant Human graviturgy mage 15 Monk of the open palm/ Psi warrior 5 with Unarmed fighting style. Blue and Red = Force wave; Purple = Disintegrate. Domain Expansion = Slow + Haste inside a Demi Plane would emulate Domain Expansion = Void. Event Horizon to replicate expanding the pressure of infinity (like against Hanami in the second arc). And infinity would be a sum of shield effects and high AC like the spell shield, mage armor, the psi warrior protective field, or the Monk's I am pretty sold on the graviturgy wizard, mainly due tor forcewave. But I would like to hear from you what classes would you chose to emulate the martial artist punching style (no weapons). Thanks!

get unarmed strike fighting style and you get Goku. Blinking and echoing can get instant transmission 😂😅😊.

What wepon should i use with it?

Could shadow monk work?

Bit dissapointed in seeing so many third setting specific content being recommended... Always banned.

ffxiv/kingsglaive have among the most epic blink blades as a characteristic magic type

If you want a more wis based approximate build you can try to combine gloomstalker (although fae wanderer sounds interesting too) with wildfire druid. It's a very different flavor of appear/disappear/teleporting and it does get a bit MAD to pick up blink, but it can be done. I also like Haregons rabbit hop to appear out of nowhere.
