When Blade sustains DMG or consumes his HP, he gains 1 stack of Charge, stacking up to 5 times. A max of 1 Charge stack can be gained every time he is attacked.
When Charge stack reaches maximum, immediately launches a Follow-up ATK on all enemies, dealing Wind DMG equal to 22%—48.4% of Blade's ATK plus 55%—121% of his Max HP. At the same time, restores Blade's HP by 25% of his Max HP. After the Follow-up ATK, all Charges are consumed.

If Blade sustains DMG without losing HP, such as through having a shield, he will not gain a stack of Charge.
If Blade loses HP from multiple DoT debuffs, each HP loss from DoT will individually grant him 1 stack of Charge.
If Blade loses HP from multiple HP Consumption effects, each HP loss from an effect will individually grant him 1 stack of Charge.
If Blade is under a Crowd Control debuff when reaching 5 stacks, the follow-up attack will not trigger until the debuff expires or is dispelled.
This ability's DMG is dealt in 3 hits. The DMG distribution across hits is 33% + 33% + 34%.
Blade's sixth Eidolon, Reborn Into an Empty Husk, reduces the stacks needed to perform Shuhu's Gift from 5 to 4.
