Jio Takinogawa Best Build and Team

Jio as Debuff, Miu as Main Attacker

Recommended Team Members

Full Party Strike Zone Things to Hold On To Pulsating Life Leading Wisdom

This is a lineup that supports Miu Jujo as the main attacker with Jio's debuff. With enemies' defense down using the debuff, they become more vulnerable to Miu's attacks. In addition, Jio's defense debuff can further strengthen Miu's powerful Ultimate attack, so if you have both characters, we recommend using them together.

Kazuki is recommended as the third member for this particular team comp for his high break ability and shield.

Jio as Debuff, Tsuki as Main Attacker

This team comp works similarly to the above, but uses Tsuki as the main attacker with Jio supporting as the debuffer. Prioritize using Tsuki's Ultimate as it's easy to activate and deals severe damage, making this attack a main source of damage. Here, Yo is used to contribute to the team's breaking ability, and is recommended to have Passive 1 to aid in the group's healing.

It is recommended to equip tension cards that can increase the team's crit. rate. In particular, Ace Vision, which can be used to increase Jio's damage rate.

All-Arounder with Most Potential as Debuffer and Damage Support

Jio acts as a Supporter who is most effective by decreasing the enemy's defense via his Passive ability [Venom], making him a valuable debuffer. Moreover, [Venom] is a debuff that can be applied using Jio's various attacks with mostly no condition unlock.

When paired up with attackers, you can get the most out of Jio's versatility and his strong suit of being the debuffer.

Effective Attacker with AoE and Sustained Damage

Jio can also be a sub-attacker who deals sustained damage via his [Venom] ability, along with an additional attack that amplifies [Venom]

In addition, the additional attack has area-of-effect (AoE) damage. These make Jio's damage output considerably comparable to main attackers' damage, as well as making him a recommended character for dungeon crawling and story battles.

Alternate Strategy Skill and Primary Attack

Jio's rapid attack playstyle relies on [Venom], which has a short duration of effect]. One strategy to maintain and maximize the benefits of [Venom] is to alternate between using his Strategy Skill and Primary Attack.

Use his Strategy Skill, which consumes stamina over time and applies [Venom] to enemies. And then use his Primary Attack to recover stamina, as well as apply [Venom].

Use Secondary Attack to Get Closer to Enemies

The Secondary Attack tracks enemies while moving forward when activated, so it can be used to get closer to distant enemies. It also can effectively Break enemy posture, making his Secondy Attack a good segment of your combo chains.

However, take note that timing this attack is important as you get in close range to enemies, potentially taking a hit if you're not too careful.
