Q & A

What is the primary role of Jade in the game?

Jade is a five-star Quantum air Edition character who specializes in AOE (Area of Effect) damage, mainly through her follow-up attack and debt collector mechanics.

How does Jade's basic attack differ from other characters?

Jade's basic attack is unique because it's the first unenhanced basic attack to deal blast damage to enemies, which is fitting for an air Edition character.

What is the effect of Jade's skill on an ally?

Jade's skill targets an ally to give them the debt collector status for three turns, which grants them a 30-speed buff and allows them to deal additional Quantum damage to each enemy hit upon attacking, while consuming 2% of their Max HP.

How does the debt collector status help Jade's gameplay?

The debt collector status enables Jade's follow-up attack mechanic by allowing her to gain one charge for each enemy hit upon reaching eight charge stacks, which she can then consume to launch an AOE follow-up attack.

What is the significance of the HP drain mechanic associated with the debt collector status?

The HP drain mechanic is appropriate given Jade's dangerous contracts and can synergize with effects that trigger by losing HP, such as blades' passive or simulated Universe Buffs.

How does Jade's Ascension ability enhance her gameplay?

With her Ascension ability unlocked, Jade gets a 50% action advance at the start of battle, almost always allowing her to apply the debt collector status before her preferred target ally acts.

What is the Pond asset mechanic and how does it benefit Jade?

Pond asset is a stackable buff that increases Jade's crit damage, which can stack up to 50 times and lasts permanently in a battle. Each stack increases her crit damage by 2.4%, leading up to a potential 120% crit damage bonus.

What are the key stats and substats to prioritize for Jade's Relic build?

For Jade's Relic build, prioritize crit rate and attack percent for the body, with at least 70% crit rate and 100% crit damage without her Pond asset buff yet. For the feet, attack percent is generally preferred, and for substats, prioritize crit and attack, with speed being optional.

Which Relic sets are recommended for Jade and why?

The recommended Relic sets for Jade are the Ash Blazing Grand Duke or Genius of Brilliant Stars Grand Duke. The Grand Duke set provides a follow-up damage bonus and a stacking attack bonus based on hits, while the Genius set offers a Quantum damage bonus and defense ignore against Quantum weak enemies.

How does Jade's idolan affect her gameplay and team synergy?

Jade's idolan brings impactful changes, particularly with E1, which reworks her charge stacking mechanic to ensure she can always get at least three charges even versus one or two enemies, making her more flexible in various combat scenarios and team options.

What are some ideal teammates for Jade in terms of generating her follow-up attack charges?

Ideal teammates for Jade are those who can attack frequently with multi-target attacks, move really fast, or have out-of-turn actions like follow-up attacks. Examples include Himiko, Herta, Arti, and Clara, as they can effectively generate Jade's follow-up attack charges.
