Is Jade Worth Pulling?

Jade is an amazing AoE Follow-up DPS that is amazing for fights like Pure Fiction where you are constantly bombarded with a lot of enemies.

However, a big drawback for her is requiring a second DPS for her to be partnered up with. Ideally, this 2nd DPS also needs to be an AoE DPS or is able to attack multiple times for Jade to take full advantage of her mechanics.

Pull for Jade if you already have a strong AoE DPS or a DPS who can attack multiple times and to improve your AoE team. She is amazing for Pure Fiction but doesn't do well for Single-Target or even Two-Target scenarios.

Jade's Best Builds

Follow-Up Attack DPS

Jade is your typical Crit-type damage dealer, so you will want to stack as many CRIT stats as you can on her. When up against non-Quantum weak enemies, using The Ashblazing Grand Duke will yield more damage compared to Genius of Brilliant Stars.

Since Jade's follow-up attack talent is partly tied to the DPS she's paired with, she will not need high SPD. Feel free to choose any SPD breakpoint.

Recommended Stat Values

Stat	Recommended Value
CRIT Rate	70% or more
CRIT DMG	100% or more
ATK	2600 or more
Speed	120 for Vonwacq 134 Any Speed Breakpoint

Jade's Talent Passive increases her CRIT DMG value for each stack(up to 50 stacks) she gains by doing a follow-up attack. Because of this, you will want to focus more on getting a lot of CRIT Rate substats.

As for Jade's Speed, you can go for any Speed breakpoint you want. You can go for her Base speed or you can go for 120 SPD if you're using Vonwacq to help put her in front of the paired DPS that she plans to buff.

Jade's Best Teams

Jade F2P Team (Free to Play)

DPS	DPS	Support	Healer
Jade	Herta	Asta	Lynx

Since Jade wants to be paired with a DPS that attacks frequently and does AoE damage, a great F2P DPS partner will be Herta since she does AoE damage and follow-up attacks. Asta will be here to increase Jade and Herta's SPD.

Xueyi is also a decent F2P Replacement for Herta if you're fighting against Quantum-Weak enemies.

Jade Erudtion Team

DPS	DPS	Support	Sustain
Jade	Argenti	Robin	Huohuo

With Jade's follow-up attack talent triggering based on how many enemies a teammate hits, Erudition characters are great partners for her.

Jade AoE Attack Teams

DPS	DPS	Support	Sustain
Jade	Blade	Sunday	Lynx

Jade can also pair great with certain characters who do AoE attacks that aren't from the Path of Erudition.

One particular character who synergizes very well with her is Blade. He not only does AoE attacks but also benefits from the Debt Collector buff that Jade applies since it counts as a separate source of HP reduction whenever Blade attacks.

Essentially, anyone who does AoE attacks from Basic, Skill, Follow-Up, or Ultimates will be a great partner for Jade.

Jade's Best Relics and Ornaments

All Recommended Relics and Ornaments

Relics	Rating & Merits
Genius of Brilliant Stars x4	★★★★★ - Best Genius of Brilliant Stars provides Jade's attacks with a massive 20% DEF reduction against enemies. This is her best Relic for fighting Quantum-Weak enemies.
The Ashblazing Grand Duke x4	★★★★☆ - 2nd Best The Ashblazing Grand Duke is Jade's second best Relic, but becomes her best Relic Set if she's up against enemies not weak to Quantum.
The Wind-Soaring Valorous x4	★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best Not really the best, but can be a placeholder set if you were previously farming Iron Cavalry. It can also more than make up for the difference in damage with great substats.
Ornaments	Merits
Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves	★★★★★ - Best Duran Dynasty is currently Jade's best Ornament. It is only slightly ahead of other DPS and Follow-up attack Ornaments, so in the end of the day, choose the one that has better substats.
Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation	★★★★☆ - 2nd Best Sigonia is a great set for Pure Fiction since the damage scales higher based on the amount of enemies the party defeats.
Sprightly Vonwacq	★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best Though behind in terms of damage output compared to other DPS ornaments, Vonwacq can have a place in Jade's build to ensure that she can apply her debt collector buff before her partnered DPS attacks.

Relic List & Guide

Jade's Best Light Cones

All Recommended Light Cones

Light Cone	Why We Recommend It
Yet Hope Is Priceless	★★★★★ - Best Jade's Signature Light Cone is loaded with so many damage-increasing buffs that make it leagues ahead compared to any other Light Cone.
Night on the Milky Way	★★★★☆ - Great A great 5-Star substitute, but requires weakness-broken enemies (easier with Ruan Mei on the team) to stay better than the Light Cones below it.
Before Dawn	★★★★☆ - Great Provides a good bonus to CRIT DMG and the occasional increased follow-up attack damage for Jade.
Today Is Another Peaceful Day	★★★★☆ - Great The best 4-star Light Cone(at S5) since it provides a direct DMG boost to all of Jade's kit.
Geniuses' Repose	★★★★☆ - Great Better(at S5) than the SU Light Cone if you can ensure Jade defeats an enemy at least every 3 turns to keep the Buff active.
Eternal Calculus	★★★★☆ - Great The go-to F2P Light Cone for Jade if you don't have any of the Light Cones above.

Light Cone List & Guide

Jade's Trace Priority

Combat Traces

Trace	Priority & Explanation
Basic Attack	★★★☆☆ - Mid Priority Though her main damage output will come from her Talent, upgrading Jade's Basic Attack is still recommended since she will be using it while her Debt Collector Passive is active.
Skill	★★★☆☆ - Mid Priority The Speed provided by this buff is already maxed out at level 1, so it's not a high priority to max it out. However, it still contributes a decent amount of damage by leveling it up.
Ultimate	★★★★☆ - High Priority Deals a decent amount of damage. This is your 2nd highest priority.
Talent	★★★★★ - Highest Priority Jade's Bread and Butter. This will be the main source of her damage, so prioritize leveling this up first.

Bonus Abilities

Trace	Priority & Explanation
Reverse Repo	★★★★★ - Highest Priority Significantly ramps up her stack generation to increase her CRIT DMG. Prioritize getting this ASAP.
Collateral Ticket	★★★☆☆ - Mid Priority Helps with pushing Jade's action ahead of the other DPS at the start of the battle to help you set up her Debt Collector buff.
Asset Forfeiture	★★★★☆ - High Priority Increases Jade's ATK based on the number of Stacks she's accumulated from her Talent.

Jade's Gameplay Guide

Use Skill to Designate Debt Collector

Jade's Skill can be used on an ally and makes them a Debt Collector, which boosts the ally's SPD and allows them to deal extra Quantum DMG based on Jade's ATK on their attacks in exchange for a percentage of their HP.

Make sure to always have this buff active on Jade's partnered DPS. Jade can also apply the Buff on herself, but she will not gain the SPD boost.

Gain Charges to Launch a Follow-Up Attack

Whenever Jade or the Debt Collector attacks, she gets 1 point of Charge for each enemy that was hit. At 8 points of Charge, she launches a Follow-Up attack, dealing Quantum DMG.

She also gets a boost in her CRIT DMG that can stack up to 50 times when she uses her Follow-Up attack, further increasing her damage potential.

Use Ultimate to Buff Her Follow-Up Attack

Use Jade's Ultimate to deal damage against multiple enemies and to enhance her Follow-Up Attack.

Use Technique to Inflict Blind Fealty

Jade's Technique allows her to inflict enemies within an area with Blind Fealty, which makes them refrain from attacking allies.
