Jade

Q: What Light Cone should Jade use without her signature?

Before Dawn or Night on the Milky Way are good 5-star substitutes. For 4-stars, go with Today Is Another Peaceful Day or A Dream Scented in Wheat at S5, and Eternal Calculus is the easy-to-get option.

Should You Pull for Jade?

Sub-DPS

Jade is a Quantum Erudition character built around AoE Follow-up ATKs, and she plays alongside a second DPS. She turns a teammate into the Debt Collector, gives them a SPD boost, then earns Charge from every enemy they hit to fire off her own follow-up attacks. The more enemies on the field, the better she gets, so she shines in Pure Fiction but feels much weaker against one or two targets.

Worth pulling if you already own a good AoE DPS or a DPS who attacks many times, especially The Herta. If you mostly need someone for single-target bosses, think it over, since outside crowded fights she leans heavily on E1.

Memory of Chaos Good There are usually only one or two enemies on the field, so Jade builds Charge slowly and her follow-up attacks come out far less often.

Pure Fiction Outstanding Her home turf: lots of enemies that keep showing up, plus AoE teammates, means her follow-up attacks fire nonstop.

Apocalyptic Shadow Strong Outside Pure Fiction, Jade sits below average for a limited 5-star unless she is paired with The Herta.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Top-tier performance in Pure Fiction
Excellent synergy with AoE characters and with built-in AoE follow-up attacks
A very strong single-target SPD buff
Extremely easy to slot into an existing AoE team
An excellent teammate for The Herta

Cons

Below average performance outside Pure Fiction for a limited 5-star (unless paired with The Herta)
Her damage swings a lot
Very reliant on Eidolon 1 to carry her own weight in non-AoE content

Best Jade Build Guide

Best Jade Follow-Up Build

Build Jade like a normal CRIT damage dealer: CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and ATK. Her kit already hands her a lot of CRIT DMG through Pawned Asset, so lean a little harder into CRIT Rate.

Best Light Cones

1 Yet Hope Is Priceless Best

Jade's signature Light Cone, and far ahead of everything else. It gives CRIT Rate, a big pile of DMG for her Follow-up ATKs (something her kit is short on) and 20% DEF reduction on enemies, which gets even better with Genius of Brilliant Stars.
2 Before Dawn Great

A 5-star worth using if you don't have her signature. It adds extra CRIT DMG and now and then boosts Jade's follow-up attack damage.
3 Night on the Milky Way Great

A solid 5-star substitute, but to keep its power up the enemies need to be Weakness Broken, which is easier with Ruan Mei on the team. It performs better against 5 targets, like in Pure Fiction.
4 Today Is Another Peaceful Day Good

A surprisingly good 4-star pick at S5. Jade is shorter on DMG Boost than on CRIT DMG, and her Ultimate costs 140 Energy, so this Light Cone gives her 56% DMG Boost. If your supports already hand out a lot of DMG Boost, it loses value.
5 A Dream Scented in Wheat Good

Another very usable 4-star at S5. It directly raises the DMG of Jade's Follow-up ATKs and Ultimate.
6 Eternal Calculus Easy to get

The easy-to-get choice if you have none of the above. It gives ATK% and SPD as long as you keep hitting 3 targets, which happens almost all the time in Pure Fiction.

Best Relics

A very good set, especially when enemies are not weak to Quantum. Jade usually doesn't build SPD, so the SPD penalty barely matters. The exception is when her Skill goes on an ally who needs a specific SPD breakpoint: then you may need a few SPD substats to make up for the -8%, or skip this set entirely.

The best set against Quantum-weak enemies, letting Jade's attacks ignore 20% of enemy DEF. Against other elements it falls off.

The more general pick. Jade's follow-up attack hits many times, so the 4-piece effect stacks up easily. It is slightly behind Genius of Brilliant Stars against Quantum-weak enemies, but much better against other elements.

Best Planar Ornaments

Jade's best Planar Ornament right now, and it suits her follow-up attack playstyle. That said, it is only slightly ahead of the sets below.

A great fit for Pure Fiction, since the damage grows with the number of enemies your team defeats.

Also one of the high-damage options. Jade's Planar Ornaments are all close to each other, so just use the one with better substats.

Less damage than the sets above, but it helps Jade act first so she can apply Debt Collector before her partner DPS moves.

Main Stats

BodyCRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
FeetATK% or SPD
Planar SphereQuantum DMG Boost
Link RopeATK%

Substats

1CRIT Rate
2CRIT DMG
3ATK%
4SPD

Go for CRIT Rate on the body, though CRIT DMG works too. ATK% boots are the standard, and SPD is fine if you want to hit a SPD breakpoint. Quantum DMG Boost on the Planar Sphere and ATK% on the Link Rope.

Pawned Asset from her Talent adds CRIT DMG with every stack, so CRIT Rate substats are worth more. Jade's follow-up attacks depend on the DPS she is paired with, so she doesn't need high SPD.

Stat Targets

CRIT Rate75% or more
CRIT DMG100% or more
ATK2700 or more
SPDOptional: base SPD 103, or 134, or 120 with Sprightly Vonwacq

Skill Priority

Talent > Ultimate > Skill = Basic ATK

Her Talent is her main source of damage, so level it first, then her Ultimate. The SPD boost from her Skill is already maxed at level 1, so leveling it further only adds a bit of damage. Her Basic ATK is still worth leveling because Jade uses it the whole time Debt Collector is active.

Trace Priority

Reverse Repo, Collateral Ticket, Asset Forfeiture

Reverse Repo makes Jade gain Pawned Asset stacks much faster for more CRIT DMG. Collateral Ticket advances her action by 50% at the start of battle, so she almost always moves first to set up Debt Collector. Asset Forfeiture gives 0.5% ATK per Pawned Asset stack. As for order, taking Reverse Repo first or Collateral Ticket first both make sense.

Eidolon Priority

E1 is the most important

E1 Altruism? Nevertheless Tradable raises the DMG of her Talent's follow-up attack by 32%, and when the Debt Collector hits only 2 or 1 enemies, Jade gains an extra 1 or 2 Charge, so her follow-up comes out much faster in fights with only one or two enemies. E2 gives 18% CRIT Rate at 15 Pawned Asset stacks, roughly 6 to 7 substats worth. E4 ignores an extra 12% DEF for 3 turns after her Ultimate. E6 gives 20% Quantum RES PEN and puts Jade in the Debt Collector state as well, a huge damage boost.

Best Jade Teams

The Herta Team

Replace The Herta with: , , Replace Tribbie with: Ruan Mei, Replace Lingsha with: , , ,

Jade makes The Herta her Debt Collector: The Herta gets 30 SPD, and Jade picks up a steady stream of Charge from those AoE attacks to keep her follow-ups coming. If you need a different sustain, anyone from Abundance or Preservation works.

Blade AoE Team

Replace Blade with: , , Replace Sunday with: ,

Blade is the Debt Collector. Each of his attacks drains a bit more HP, so he builds his own Talent stacks faster, and his follow-up attack hits up to 5 enemies, which feeds Charge back to Jade. They power each other up, though Blade gets more out of it. You can swap Blade for any other DPS who hits multiple enemies often.

Budget Team (All 4-Stars)

Replace Herta with:

Herta hits multiple enemies and has follow-up attacks, which makes her a great partner, so just give her Debt Collector. Against Quantum-weak enemies, Xueyi can take Herta's spot. The Trailblazer supports and Lynx handles healing.

Best Teammates for Jade

The Herta

Jade gives The Herta some of the most consistent stack and Energy generation among her Erudition partners, plus 30 SPD from her Skill. Jade also deals good damage herself, especially in Pure Fiction.

Blade

Debt Collector drains his HP one more time, so Blade gets 2 Talent stacks instead of 1 when using his Enhanced Basic ATK and Ultimate. His multi-target follow-up attack then feeds Charge back to Jade.

Lingsha

A great Debt Collector because almost all of her attacks hit every enemy, including the ones from her summon, while she keeps the team healthy and clears debuffs.

Sunday

With Lingsha as the Debt Collector, Sunday keeps advancing turns so Jade builds Charge faster. He is also the support in the Blade team.

Herta

An easy-to-get 4-star whose Skill hits up to 5 enemies and whose follow-up attacks keep coming. Great in Pure Fiction and against Ice-weak enemies.

Himeko

Her attacks hit 3 to 5 enemies and come with a steady stream of follow-up attacks. Her follow-ups need enemies to be Weakness Broken, and Jade can help with that in many cases.

Argenti

His Skill and Ultimate hit every enemy, so he builds Charge for Jade very easily.

Robin

Buffs ATK and advances the whole team, a good fit for Jade's double DPS teams (except the Blade team).

Ruan Mei

A support who works anywhere, and fits Jade's double DPS teams especially well (except the Blade team).

How to Play Jade

Pick the Right Debt Collector

Her Skill Acquisition Surety turns one ally into the Debt Collector: they get 30 SPD, and every time they attack, they deal 1 extra instance of Quantum DMG based on Jade's ATK to each enemy hit, at the cost of 2% of their Max HP. The state lasts 3 turns and only counts down at the start of Jade's turns, so the more often that ally acts (follow-up attackers above all), the more value you get. While a Debt Collector is on the field, Jade can't use her Skill, so she uses her Basic ATK Lash of Riches, which also hits adjacent enemies, adds damage and generates Skill Points for the team.

Jade can make herself the Debt Collector too, in which case she gets no SPD boost and loses no HP. But her own follow-up attack does not generate Charge, so giving the state to an AoE teammate is still the better deal.

Collect 8 Charge for a Follow-Up ATK

Each time Jade or the Debt Collector attacks, Jade gains 1 Charge for every enemy hit. Each enemy only counts once per attack, so an attack that hits 5 enemies several times still gives just 5 Charge. At 8 Charge, her Talent Fang of Flare Flaying automatically launches a Follow-up ATK against all enemies. More enemies means more follow-ups, which is why Jade is at her best in Pure Fiction.

Each of these follow-ups gives Jade 5 stacks of Pawned Asset, each stack raising her CRIT DMG, up to 50 stacks, and they last for the rest of the fight. The Trace Reverse Repo adds 1 stack whenever an enemy enters combat and 3 stacks whenever the Debt Collector's turn starts.

Ultimate Powers Up Her Follow-Ups

Her Ultimate Vow of the Deep hits all enemies and enhances the next 2 follow-up attacks from her Talent. It costs 140 Energy, which is a lot, but every follow-up gives Jade 10 Energy back, so as long as enemies keep getting hit she can use her Ultimate fairly often.

Open the Fight With Her Technique

Her Technique Visionary Predation inflicts Blind Fealty on enemies in an area, and they won't start attacks on you. When the battle begins, Jade deals Quantum DMG to all enemies and immediately gains 15 stacks of Pawned Asset. Combined with the Trace Collateral Ticket, which advances her action by 50% at the start of battle, Jade almost always moves first to set up Debt Collector.

Quick Tips

Pair Jade with at most one other Erudition character, more than that is overkill.
Herta or Himeko, pick one, don't put both in the same team with Jade.
Use Genius of Brilliant Stars against Quantum-weak enemies, and swap to Poet of Mourning Collapse or The Ashblazing Grand Duke against other elements.
If you want Jade to apply Debt Collector before her partner DPS acts, use Sprightly Vonwacq and build 120 SPD.
Don't make Jade her own Debt Collector if you have an AoE teammate, because her follow-up attack does not generate Charge.

Playstyle overview

Jade is a damage dealer who can designate one ally as her Debt Collector, gaining Charge points when either she or the Debt Collector attacks a target, which then triggers a follow-up attack. When Jade launches the follow-up attack from her Talent, she immediately gains increased CRIT DMG and a stackable ATK boost.

Jade FAQ

Is Jade worth pulling?

Yes, if you already have a good AoE DPS or a DPS who attacks many times, and you play Pure Fiction a lot. If you need someone for single-target or two-target fights, Jade is not a good fit.

Who should be Jade's Debt Collector?

A DPS teammate who hits many enemies and attacks often, like The Herta, Herta, Himeko or Blade. Jade can take it herself, but she gets no SPD boost and her follow-up attack does not generate Charge.

Does Jade need SPD?

Not necessarily. She usually runs at base SPD, or 134, or 120 with Sprightly Vonwacq so she acts before her partner DPS.

Which Eidolon should I stop at?

E1 is the most important one, especially if you want to use Jade in fights with only one or two enemies. E6 is also a huge damage boost, but it costs a lot.
