Squid Blades Overhaul: Jaded Blades Arrive Next Week

ECHO Gaming Staff April 9, 2025 Gaming 1 month ago

 TL;DR: Squid Blades is getting rebranded as Jaded Blades next week, losing invisibility and gaining new dash mechanics. Spicy Dagger sees similar tweaks, shifting toward a more precise combat style. 

Introduction

Ready for a big shake-up in MoCo? Squid Blades, one of the most talked-about weapons in the game, is about to become Jaded Blades. This change removes invisibility altogether and revamps how the dash works. Below, we break down every detail so you know what’s coming and how it might affect your style of play.

Why the Changes?

Invisibility was a major concern during Rift runs. Players could slip past crowds of enemies and skip straight to the boss. Others in group play felt forced to use Squid Blades or reset until everyone had them. Supercell listened to the community and decided to remove invisibility, making fights more balanced and fair for everyone.

How Jaded Blades Works

The new name, Jaded Blades, pairs a repeated stab attack with a fresh dash mechanic. Once your combo bar fills, your next strike zips you toward an enemy in a 60-degree cone, dealing high damage and stunning non-boss foes. This shift means more precise targeting, added mobility, and no more slipping away unnoticed.

Dash Range Reduced: The dash shrinks from seven tiles to six.
Damage Per Second Increased: You’ll dish out higher DPS during your dash attacks.

Overall, this update cuts out the stealth advantage and replaces it with a dynamic movement tool that rewards positioning.

Spicy Dagger Adjustments

The changes to Spicy Dagger mirror Jaded Blades in many ways. You’ll still dash toward an enemy in a 60-degree cone, and the range drops from seven tiles to six. However, the original damage bonus remains in place. In short, Spicy Dagger now offers tighter control over where you land, giving you a chance to slip away or aim your strike more accurately.

Opinion & Conclusion

Losing invisibility may disappoint fans of sneaky tactics, but the new dash system delivers faster, more direct combat. Whether you plan to jump into Rift runs or casual play, Jaded Blades appears to keep the core stabbing role alive without letting anyone hide. Spicy Dagger’s smaller dash range might seem like a step back, but the improved direction control is a fair exchange.
