Transcripts

Hey, Guobqiu here. Today we’re gonna be looking  at Jiaoqiu. In his niche he is a very powerful  

debuffer, for example look at this E0 S1 Acheron  with only one nihility and a sustain 0 Cycle MOC  

12. OK that team is maybe cheating with Robin  Gallagher, but anyways. Outside of his niche  

he is decent, and we're gonna be looking at  both his performance in his best niche and  

outside of it. We will be looking at how his  kit functions, and why it can be so powerful,  

as well as his best builds and teams. Like  and subscribe if this helps, and let’s begin.

Jiaoqiu is a limited 5* Fire Nihility  unit. He is our second of this combo,  

obviously with Guinaifen being our  first in 1.4. Among base stats,  

his low energy cost is a real nice boon for  his kit. For traces prioritize his talent  

and ultimate. His skill and basics  are not too necessary to level up.

So onto his kit, and let’s start with his talent.  Jiaoqiu will apply Ashen Roast onto enemies when  

hitting them with his basic, skill, and ultimate.  Ashen Roast is a universal vulnerability modifier  

meaning all types of damage you do to the enemy  will be multiplied by said vulnerability. So  

normal damage, crit damage, dot damage, even  break damage. At one stack it is a 15% multiplier,  

and every subsequent stack is an additional  5% multiplier. With the 5 stack limit that  

is in total a 35% vulnerability. So a 1.35x  multiplicative increase to all your damage if  

you have no previous vulnerabilities. Ashen  Roast will last for 2 turns, so make sure  

you are reapplying it in case of very high speed  enemies, as that will refresh the 2 turn duration.

And Ashen Roast is also considered as a burn. And  it isn’t considered as a Burn when applying it,  

which means this debuff can ignore all Burn  Resistance, even 100% Resistance which normally  

should nullify any Burn application. And so as  it can be considered as a burn, it will also do  

DoT damage at the start of enemies’ turns, 180%  of his attack at level 10. It’s not much damage  

but it’s decent over the duration of a fight  and stacks up to be a lot in Pure Fiction.

And so his basic attack is very  basic, but thanks to his talent,  

he will be applying Ashen Roast  with it to the target he attacks. 

His skill is a blast attack and will apply 1  stack of Ashen Roast to the central target,  

but not to adjacent ones. However again,  thanks to his talent, he will apply 1 stack  

to all enemies hit on top. So 2 to the  central target, 1 to adjacent targets.

And finally his ultimate. First he will set the  number of Ashen Roast stacks on all enemies to  

be equal to the highest number present on  the battlefield. So say one target has 5,  

but the rest have 1, all enemies will now jump up  to 5 stacks, which is very powerful for immediate  

AoE damage amping. Then he does some damage and  activates a Zone for 3 turns. A zone is a new  

word they’re using to classify Aura buffs like  Ruan Mei’s ultimate or Luocha’s Healing Field. 

When enemies are inside the Zone two things will  happen. First, yet another Vulnerability modifier,  

yet this time it’s specifically for ult DMG and  counts as an additional debuff. At level 10 this  

is 15%, and this means a total of 50% ultimate  DMG vulnerability during his Ult, and 35% for any  

other damage types in the game. So whilst he can  buff any damage, ults get a little extra boost. 

The second thing that happens is that when an  enemy takes action, they have a chance to have  

1 stack of Ashen Roast applied to them. It can  only trigger once per enemy turn, so it doesn’t  

give multiple stacks for multi-attack enemies.  But if you do manage to fail its application,  

multi attack enemies can roll the chance each  time they take action. And this enemy turn based  

application has a limit of 6 times per ult.  This limit is pretty chill in most scenarios,  

only being a problem really in Pure Fiction, but  we have a solution for Pure Fiction to fix this.

And his technique is a dimension technique, and it  will do some damage but also apply 1 Ashen Roast  

to all enemies when entering combat. Since it’s  a dimension technique, this works on every wave.

So if we want to get to 5 stacks ASAP,  here’s how we do it. Technique gives  

1. Skill gives 2 to the central target. We  can immediately ult thanks to his A2 Trace,  

and thus his ult also gives 1 stack. If  the enemy is fast they’ll take action  

and thus max out the stacks to 5,  for your full 35% vulnerability.

So that trace that gives energy is  simple, 15 energy when the battle starts,  

buffing his starting energy in  the end game to 65 out of 100. A  

skill with energy rope is over 35 energy,  meaning skill into ult is thus possible.

His A4 makes effect hit rate past 80% give ATK%.  It is converted in multiples of 15% Effect hit  

rate to 60% ATK, up to 240% ATK. Meaning  you’ll need 140% effect hit rate to cap  

it out. And this buff sounds insane and  it is the highest ATK buff in the game,  

but unfortunately, due to  his multipliers and build,  

his damage doesn’t actually go that crazy,  but again it’s decent for a damage amper.

Now the most insane thing is his A6. A6 means  enemies entering combat get the maximum stack  

count possessed by a unit when his ult is  active. So this is absolutely incredible  

for Pure Fiction as every enemy coming in will  just be slapped with a 5 stack Ashen Roast to  

the face. This makes him the best debuffer in  the game for Pure Fiction. And not only that,  

it works in waves for MOC. So if I have 5 stacks  on wave 1 with my ultimate up and clear it,  

wave 2 will have 5 stacks immediately  applied everywhere. Pela has to ult again,  

Silver Wolf has to skill and ult. Black Swan  has to skill and ult. Guinaifen has to reapply  

Burn and wait for Firekiss to stack up. Jiaoqiu  just sits there sipping his boba tea. This is the  

best debuff uptime out of any character  and makes him insane for quick clears.

Finally for trace bonuses he actually  gets 3 useful stats which is rare,  

being effect hit rate, fire DMG%, and SPD.

Now let’s finish the kit with an eidolon review.

E1 is a 40% DMG buff for allies that attack  enemies with Ashen Roast. This is basically  

permanent and pretty decent. You also get  additional Ashen Roast stacking with his talent,  

but this is kinda negligible, only being  meaningful for the very first Jiaoqiu  

turn. It makes you get to 5 stacks without  his technique or an enemy taking action,  

as well as making the whole field thus  get to 5 stacks when ulting rather than 4.

His E2 increases his Burn’s DOT multiplier  by 300%, making him actually very powerful  

in damage over time compositions, and even  boasting some decent damage outside of it.  

I wouldn’t go for it though unless  you really want to run him in DoT.

I don’t even wanna talk about E4, and E6 is  actually really good. First some quality of  

life with Ashen Roast transferring upon death.  But the real sauce is after. First an increase  

to 9 stacks max of Ashen Roast, which makes his  E1’s stacking actually pretty useful. Considering  

talent level 12, this is a 60.5% vulnerability  now, or 76.7% for ultimates. Secondly,  

each stack also now reduces all type RES by 3%, so  now you also get a 27% RES reduction. Disgusting.

So onto his build. Since he is a debuffer  and not going to be doing insane damage,  

you’d opt for a 2 piece of hackerspace with  a 2 piece of whatever has the best main stats  

and substats. For a 4 piece you can opt for  Wind Set, maximizing his turn frequency for  

an Acheron team to ensure even more ultimate  stacks. Outside of Acheron, not so necessary.

For planars opt for Sprightly Vonwacq in my  opinion. Pan Cosmic works too though, or even  

Keel or Fleet if you prefer buffing the squad. Vonwacq offers some energy which is  

most of the time irrelevant but  sometimes can clutch a situation  

and it allows you to outspeed any DPS to ensure  Ashen Roast is maximized before their actions. 

Pan Cosmic offers some more ATK for Jiaoqiu though  insanely diluted and some easier effect hit rate  

stacking. Keel and Fleet offer damage buffs  to the team if you don’t care for the others.

Main stats will want you going for  an Effect Hit Rate chest, SPD boots,  

Fire DMG% orb, and an Energy  Rope. These shouldn’t change,  

there’s no massive foreseeable  benefit to replacing any of them.

For a stat goal opt for 140% effect hit rate as  well as high SPD. You want to be faster than your  

carry, but you wanna naturally be fast in Acheron  compositions anyway to keep applying debuffs for  

her stacks. And for example if you run her with  Sparkle, you wanna make sure you outspeed Sparkle.  

But that can also be achieved using Vonwacq. You  can also go for a little bit more effect hit rate  

with his signature as it needs 178% effect hit  rate to guarantee, but it’s hard to miss at 140%.

Let’s now check out light cones, starting with  his signature, which is a pretty nutty one. First  

a 60% effect hit rate buff at S1, because why  not. Then if you use a basic attack, skill or  

even ult to attack an enemy, you have a 60% base  chance to inflict a 10% vulnerability to enemies.  

If the enemy also has a DoT from the wearer, there  is a secondary 60% base chance roll that happens,  

to upgrade it to the Cornered state, which is an  additional 14% vulnerability. A 24% vulnerability  

on a light cone is pretty disgusting. Now it is  diluted due to his kit also applying the same  

type of damage amping, but this cone is very  powerful for him. And also any DoT sub DPS. I  

definitely prefer S1 to E1 for ease of build  and the possibility of using it on others.

For other cones his effect hit rate requirements  are insane so not having a cone with it as a stat  

is even worse than on Black Swan. So Eyes  of the Prey is his free to play friendly  

option. Tutorial is free to play too but only  available if you played the event in 1.1. And  

I guess if you have Incessant Rain or Reforged  Remembrance spare they also give effect hit rate. 

Now if you have some amazing gear and  fulfill his needs without a light cone,  

you can opt for the Resolution light cone  as he will prefer helping with damage amp  

on the team rather than boosting his own damage. For Pure fiction his best cone will be Solitary  

Healing if running him with Acheron, as it  will alleviate the 6 stack limit problem  

with insane ult generation. Enemies will  have max stacks thanks to his ult and A6,  

but more enemy stacks means more Acheron ults. And  more ults on Jiaoqiu is more ults from Acheron,  

and it's also just more break  potential and damage. But again,  

it requires some hefty effect hit rate gear.  In other teams it’s not necessary to run.

For energy rotations Jiaoqiu will opt  for a Skill Basic Basic combo for a 3  

turn ult with an energy rope and only one  hit being needed. This can also be a kill.  

In 3 turns you’re probably getting hit and  if you don’t end up doing so, using an extra  

Skill can guarantee the ult if needed. Having  to use 2 skills isn’t that common though I  

barely encountered it, and so this makes him  effectively SP positive at 0.33 SP a turn.

So how good is he? In damage amping power  

he boasts a 1.35x boost to all damage types. 1.5x  specifically to ultimates. With his signature that  

is 1.59x and 1.74x respectively, which is really  powerful. It is on all enemies meaning this works  

for multi DPS comps and works for any DPS types  due to most of it being a universal DMG modifier. 

But comparing damage amp  alone is extremely misleading,  

as he has basically infinite uptime on all of his. Let’s take for example E6 Guinaifen. At 4 Firekiss  

she hits a 30.4% vulnerability. Comparing 35%  to 30.4% is a 3.5% DPS increase. Comparing 50%  

to this is a 15% increase. So is Jiaoqiu only  a 3 to 15% upgrade over a 4 star? Not at all. 

How the unit applies said debuffs  and its uptime is just as important  

as how powerful the damage amp is. Guinaifen has to Skill to apply burn,  

then the enemy has to take enough turns to reach  4 stacks, one removed if she uses her ult. A break  

burn can also make it a bit faster but that’s  an extra variable. So that’s 2 to 3 enemy turns,  

which is over a cycle in waiting. And guess  what Jiaoqiu did? Absolutely nothing. So all  

those attacks are versus 5 stack Ashen Roast,  and in the meantime they’d have a measly 7.6  

to 15.2% vulnerability with Guinaifen. Not only that, she does it to 3 targets  

considering her Burn alone  and he does it to all targets. 

And not to mention his extra synergy  with Acheron we’ll see later.

As for Pela, at E6 with an S5 Pearls  she is hitting 56% DEF Shred. This  

is a 42.76% DPS increase. So it's better  than his universal damage boost unless of  

course you get his signature or Eidolon 1. However again we gotta talk about uptime.  

Resolution is 1 turn only and Pela’s ult is 2  turns. However Pela without Tutorial has a 3  

turn rotation. Resolution being 1 turn means in  AoE situations unless you specifically ult just  

before every Acheron ult, she’s gonna lose a lot  of this Resolution uptime. And in other teams,  

you’re gonna lose out on it a bunch. Now  you can be super fast with Wind Set and  

high SPD to counteract this somewhat,  but if we get higher SPD enemies,  

then Jiaoqiu’s refreshable uptime with his ult’s  Ashen Roast stacks is going to be much better. 

Because vulnerability is still very potent  and because of uptime, I calculated Jiaoqiu  

E0S1 to be a 19% upgrade to Pela in a Ratio  hypercarry team with Tingyun. And that’s with  

Ratio’s signature boosting Pela’s power.  With Jiaoqiu on the Resolution light cone,  

it was only a 10% difference. But again, quality  of life is not able to be calculated, as this  

difference can increase if you don’t minmax your  Pela gameplay. For Acheron it’s different due to  

his extra synergy, and we’ll see that in the  team section, but it is much higher than 19%.

So teams. Due to being a universal damage  amper, anywhere you’d put Pela you could  

also put Jiaoqiu. He isn’t as SP positive  so it won’t work in Qingque or Lunae teams,  

but otherwise he’s a great fit. For especially ult based carries,  

he’s even better. So Acheron, Yunli, Argenti,  I guess even Yanqing works. The problem with  

these units barring Acheron is ult based  hypercarries want ult based battery units.  

Because what’s better than damage amping my Ult?  Damage amping it and giving me 60 energy every  

ult or giving me extra turns. That’s Jiaoqiu’s  problem. He is buffing a carry archetype that  

really likes other things on top. Nonetheless  you can run him with them, let’s see how.

I ran Yunli with Jiaoqiu and got 3.65k  in Apocalyptic Shadow. It's a nice  

alternative team if you don’t have  Robin or you’re using her elsewhere,  

same thing if your Tingyun is occupied. If  you are versus an enemy that hits you a lot,  

then Jiaoqiu can be more preferable  over a Tingyun, as those enemy hits can  

substitute for her energy, and breaking  the boss gives Yunli 240 Energy anyway.

Argenti in Pure Fiction can use Jiaoqiu  effectively as he gets a ton of energy already,  

and he will be spamming a 90 energy  cost ult rather than his regular 180.  

If he runs things like energy rope  and thief set on top, even easier. 

And this is very powerful because of the immediate  5 stacks of Ashen Roast. Meaning Argenti is always  

getting a 1.5x DMG amp to his ults. You don’t have  to worry about reapplying buffs on him. And since  

enemy HP is increasing and his 90 energy cost  ult is not too strong, this helps bridge the gap.

So it’s in these types of niches where he can  shine. Ult based carries with ample energy,  

or ult based carries that don’t need energy.

And we have to talk about Acheron. He is the best  support for Acheron. Vulnerability is missing  

on her damage profile, as she gets DMG% a ton  already, has fine ATK% with boots and Rope, has  

great CRIT and builds to further buff CRIT. She  has some RES reduction too. And so vulnerability  

being separate to all of this is really great  for her, not to mention of course it being even  

stronger for ults, which is most of her damage. And the real sauce is that ult stacking potential.  

Every enemy turn, up to 6 times per Jiaoqiu  ultimate, is going to be a Slashed Dream  

for Acheron, giving him the highest Acheron  ult battery potential in the game. This is  

not only good for MOC and AS, but it also makes  him by far her best support in Pure Fiction and  

makes her viable there outside of Dotcheron. Now some people run the Trend light cone,  

and this does not stack with Jiaoqiu’s Ashen Roast  on enemy actions, as it’s one Slashed Dream per  

enemy action. The only time they would be  is if the enemy has a two attack action,  

as Jiaoqiu would apply a debuff on their first  one and then the Trend user on their second one.  

But that is niche. However Jiaoqiu thus allows  Acheron teams to run better sustains or builds  

on these sustains. For example you can now run  S1 Aventurine and still keep the trend benefit.

His debuffs are always there for  Acheron, no silly uptime and downtime,  

no silly planning on when to ult,  they’re there when you need it.

Onto some simulations, and just to be  clear, simulations aren’t everything,  

so enjoy this disclaimer. So I found that  Jiaoqiu is a fantastic upgrade to either  

Pela or Silver Wolf in the standard Acheron  team if you do get an additional ultimate off. 

Replacing Pela for Jiaoqiu with his  signature and an additional Acheron ultimate,  

which she would normally get, saw a 31% DPS  increase in single target for Acheron as  

well as a 60% increase in AoE. This is  because of the much better damage amp,  

the additional ultimate, and the  infinite uptime on his debuffs.

With Resolution S5 instead on Jiaoqiu,  I got 22% in single target, 48% in AoE. 

Finally with his signature and the same  ult amount, which meant I removed an ult  

that actually would’ve happened, you get 5% in  single target, 32% in aoe. The reason I remove  

ults is to simulate when an ult wouldn’t  have mattered, like you clear fast enough,  

or in the case you run a Trend Preservation unit  and maybe get lucky enough for the same amount of  

ults. Though that point can also be kinda favoring  Jiaoqiu in the opposite way, as he generates  

Acheron ults sooner than these other units can,  leading to faster clears in the first place.

Now one thing to mention before we go onto  Silver Wolf is that AoE isn’t really a  

department Acheron lacks in, as any fodder  enemy will be obliterated and AoE DMG amp  

thus does nothing. This is especially true  into Pure Fiction. But considering multiple  

elite stages or a triple enemy boss, the  aoe increase is going to be a massive help.

So with equal ult amounts and replacing Silver  Wolf with E0S1 Jiaoqiu, we drop in single target  

damage, but get a 49% boost in AoE. With 4 ults  though this skyrockets to an 81% increase in  

AOE power, with a decent 15% increase in single  target. But yeah, Silver Wolf is single target  

as we know so this was coming. I think the  best team at E0S1 Acheron with two nihility  

will thus be Jiaoqiu Silver Wolf Acheron and  a sustain, for a mix of all damage types. 

Of course Jiaoqiu Pela is just fine too. And for Pure Fiction you can run Jiaoqiu  

Acheron + any nihility and it will  work fantastically. You could even  

remove the 2nd nihility and go for  someone that gets Acheron even more  

turns as her ults will already one  shot waves without the 1.6x boost.

Finally for E2 Acheron teams, Sparkle Pela  Acheron having Pela replaced with Jiaoqiu  

E0S1 resulted in a 55% DPS increase overall due  to the extra ult and better debuffs and uptime.

Now you saw in the intro my weird 1 Nihility  team, and it’s just an adaptation of my Robin  

Gallagher team I cooked that I’ve been shilling  way too much. This is a 0 cycle oriented team  

and requires luxury pulls, but you can get  1 cycle without them. You don’t get the 1.6x  

multiplicative buff at E0 Acheron, but you  get some insane action counts with Robin,  

and Gallagher with Quid Pro Quo will be making  this even stronger. Though do note that Quid Pro  

Quo can be voided by Acheron as she doesn’t use  energy, so you gotta get lucky for the 0 cycle. 

The way it works is that Acheron gets so  many charges from Jiaoqiu already and of  

course Gallagher helps, meaning that we get  weaker but more frequent ultimates than usual,  

allowing for 4 ultimates in these 2 cycles. You  gotta play smart and not break enemies to allow  

Slashed Dream charges and time Robin ults,  but it’s a very cool team when played right. 

I don’t think it’ll work when we get  tougher fights though as Robin can’t  

be easily healed by Gallagher due to her not  attacking, but try it if you have the units.

Jiaoqiu in DoT is kind of a trap. Some say he’s a  sidegrade to Ruan Mei and Robin, and maybe that’s  

possible in minmaxed situations, but I found him  to always clear slower than either of these units  

by a cycle. Maybe some showcase youtubers will  clear on par with them since my simulations did  

show Ruan Mei and Jiaoqiu to be similar. But  in my testing, not so much. It’s not too bad,  

but I wouldn’t pull him to replace them. In the  second slot as a sub DPS he can work somewhat,  

especially into Fire Weak. But in and outside  of that, Black Swan is there for you. At E2S1  

though he outclasses Ruan Mei and Robin in  the third slot, but that’s an E2S1 unit.

So that was a lengthy vid. Let me know if  you’re pulling Jiaoqiu or his Light Cone,  

and like and sub if this video helped.  Thanks to my amazing youtube members,  

thanks for watching, and have a guoba day.
