A Quantum follow-up attacker who appoints a Debt Collector and converts their frequent attacks into AoE damage.

Jade build overview

Jade is a Quantum Erudition character commonly used for aoe dps, follow-up, hp drain. Jade's build supports aoe dps, follow-up, hp drain while keeping the team rotation reliable.

Use The Ashblazing Grand Duke as the primary Relic set and Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves as the Planar Ornament. Recommended main stats are CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG, ATK% / SPD, Quantum DMG, ATK%. Jade should meet the listed Speed, Effect Hit Rate or Break Effect target first. Then improve the main scaling stats.

Light Cones and alternatives

Yet Hope Is Priceless is the premium Light Cone because its passive is designed around Jade's core mechanics. Jade can use the listed Light Cones when their passives match the team rotation. Today Is Another Peaceful Day and The Seriousness of Breakfast For Jade, keep the Relic setup with stronger main stats and useful substats.

Recommended teams

  • Premium team: The Herta, Jade, Robin, Lingsha. This formation keeps Jade in the core role while covering damage amplification, turn economy and sustain.
  • Alternative team: Blade, Jade, Robin, Aventurine. This formation keeps Jade in the core role while covering damage amplification, turn economy and sustain.
  • Accessible team: Herta, Jade, Asta, Gallagher. This formation keeps Jade in the core role while covering damage amplification, turn economy and sustain.

Jade's team swaps should keep a buffer or debuffer plus a sustain for multi-target waves.

Trace priority

  • Lower priority: Lash of Riches
  • High priority: Acquisition Surety
  • Highest priority: Vow of the Deep
  • High priority: Fang of Flare Flaying
  • Lower priority: Visionary Predation

Raise the ability that defines Jade's main role first. Jade's lower-impact Traces can wait until the character, Light Cone and main teammates are leveled.

Investment advice

Level Jade, the Light Cone and key Traces before long Relic farming sessions. Jade is complete at E0 with a suitable alternative Light Cone. Compare Jade's signature or Eidolons with upgrades for the full team.
