Jiaoqiu in Honkai Star Rail: guide & build

Jiaoqiu in fiery Guinaifen in F2P groups.

However, the character feels the greatest increase in personal combat power in teams where the main DPS representative resorts to frequent use of the ult as the main source of damage, or has a high need for debuffers, since his damage directly depends on the number of weakenings on enemies during the battle. The fox provides stability to the first type of units due to the super ability "Magic of Pyrography", for the second - through the already mentioned "Hot Ash", which is imposed by using any active skill.

How skills work

The Representative of Nothingness not only imposes various debuffs on all opponents, but also deals good fire-type damage. His main abilities include талант и ultimate skill:

• The talent s the correct operation of the "Hot Ash" debuff, which increases the multiplier of incoming damage to enemies as a percentage; in addition, the negative status is equal to the periodic damage effect of Burning;
• The superpower creates a special field within which allies deal increased damage with their personal ultimate skills.

In the following paragraphs, we will examine in more detail the features of the debuffer's active and ive skills: we will explain the principle of the distribution of the main weakening of the character, we will outline the order of pumping skills and their rotational features, and we will also consider traces and the most significant eidolons that are worth paying attention to.

Active skills

The hero's active abilities are technique, basic attack, skill и superpower.

ive skills

ive skills include: талант, which is aimed at unlocking the weakening potential of Hot Ash.

The order of leveling abilities

Talent/superpower > skill > basic attack

The priority of skills for the considered unit of Non-Existence is as follows:

1. Talent - an important skill that increases the effectiveness of the main debuff spread by the hero.
2. Superpower is responsible for explosive area damage, as well as an additional negative effect that increases damage from allies' ultimate skills. Upgrading directly affects the percentage increase in weakening that lasts as long as the fire field is active. In addition, resource investments will increase the base chance to trigger the Hot Ash effect levels.
3. Emboldening Salvo и BA are less significant compared to the skills discussed above. Each of the skills has a basic chance to provoke the imposition of the main weakening of the character, but luck depends on talent and investments in the characteristic "chance to hit effects" (SHPE). As a result, the material costs for skill and basic attack upgrades will only affect the damage numbers of these abilities.

Tracks

All traces:

WPE +4.0% (lvl 1)
"Cleansing the Fire" (A2): Instantly restores 15 health. energy at the beginning of the battle.	Fire damage bonus +3.2% (A2)	WPE +4.0% (A3)	Speed ​​+2 units. (A3)
"Flame of the Hearth" (A4): When a character's hit chance of effects becomes higher than 80%, for every 15% above this value, his attack power increases by an additional 60% up to a maximum of 240%.	WPE +6.0% (A4)	Fire damage bonus +4.8% (A5)	WPE +6.0% (A5)
"The aroma of tea leaves" (A6): While a zone exists on the battlefield, enemies entering the battle will receive the "Hot Ash" status. The number of applied levels of the named effect is equal to the largest number of levels of the “Hot Ashes” status available during the zone’s effect. However, it cannot be lower than level 1.	Speed ​​+3 units. (A6)
Fire damage bonus +6.4% (lvl 75)	WPE +8.0% (lvl 80)

The total increase in characteristics is:

• chance of effects hitting - + 24.0 %
• Fire damage bonus - + 14.4 %
• speed - +5 units

Eidolons

All consts:

E1	Increases damage against enemies with the “Hot Ash” status by 40%. Each time a character's talent activates the Burning Ash status, it adds 1 stack to the current number of levels of that status.
E2	If an enemy has the Burning Ash status, the fire damage over time multiplier they take from Burning Ash is increased by 300%.
E3	Skill level +2. Max level - 15. Base attack level +1. Max level is 10.
E4	While the zone exists, enemy attack power is reduced by 15%.
E5	Superpower level +2. Max level - 15. Talent level +2. Max level - 15.
E6	After defeating an enemy, the remaining levels of the "Hot Ash" status are added to the enemy with the fewest levels of this status. Max. The number of levels of the “Hot Ashes” status increases to 9. Each level of this status reduces all types of target resistance by 3%.

The best eidolons of Jiaoqiu are considered first, second и sixth:

• E1 - the character’s highest priority const, which is aimed at increasing the overall combat power of the squad. Directly affects outgoing damage figures, and also accelerates the accumulation of main weakening levels to the maximum value.
• E2 — a good buff that will be especially in demand for a debuffer in a team through the game from DoT statuses. The reason is that "Taste of Suffering" Increases the periodic fire damage of Hot Ash.
• E6 - A powerful eidolon aimed at increasing the weakening of "Hot Ash": not only increases the maximum number of negative status effects allowed, but also offers an additional bonus to reduce all types of resistance of enemy targets.

As a F2P player, it is recommended to stop at first eidolon. If you plan to use the unit in DoT squads, you should ensure that it has a second constellation.

How to Play Jiaoqiu in HSR

Jiaoqiu's rotation should be built around spreading and maintaining levels of Burning Ash. This debuff is the main one, as it most effectively increases the overall combat potential of the squad by increasing the damage output of direct attacks, bonus hits, DoT statuses and/or penetration. Of secondary, but no less significant importance is the weakening imposed by the ultimate skill, which increases the damage from the fox's allies' superpowers.

Here are some recommendations that are worth considering while playing as a character:

1. Try to start the battle by using equipment. Keep in mind that when using the skill, the hero creates a space that will conflict with the techniques of other units that have similar mechanics.
2. If the fight is against several enemies, give preference skill to apply a massive talent debuff.
3. If you participate in the battle single opponent, which is an elite boss, activate basic attack, which can also apply a negative status from the talent. This way, you will save skill points, which are especially important if the team has damage-dealing heroes who actively use the skill.
4. Use your ultimate skill before use superpowers of other allied damage dealers. For example, if a fox plays in a team with Electric Acheron, then it is activated first "The Magic of Pyrography", after that - the skill of the galactic ranger "Crossed Dream, Scarlet Tears".
5. Keep track of the number of levels of the "Hot Ash" effect and their total duration, try to maintain the max. number of allowed stacks.

All about character leveling

In the lists below we will present all the resources that are needed to level up a character to the maximum level, as well as improve skills and learn hidden talents from the "Traces" category.

Elevation materials

The maximum stage of the debuffer elevation will require:

Skill Leveling Materials

To enhance skills, the following consumable components will be required:

The order of pumping traces

Hidden talents require the following investments in total:

If for some reason there are limitations in the consumables used, then the priority for studying traces is built on the following principle:

"The aroma of tea leaves" (A6) > "Cleansing the Fire" (A2) > "Flame of the Hearth" (A4)

In turn, the total number of materials required to fully strengthen the debuffer fox is:

• loans (×3 888 000);
• travel guides (×289), adventure journals (×6), meetings during travels (×16);
• sprouts of immortality (×56), ethereal flower of immortality (×71), a branch of immortal glory (×73) is one of the rewards for completing the "Bud of Memories", "Bud of Ether" and "Bud of Treasures" related to the "Sepal (Gold)" activity in the territories Lofu Xianzhou;
• fire spirit (×18), starfire essence (×69), heavenly cremator (×139) — a reward for killing waves of enemies in the dungeon "Sepal (Crimson): Bud of Nothingness" in Commissions on Alchemy;
• flaming heart (×65) is a material that can be obtained after defeating an elite enemy in the activity "Stagnant Shadow: Form of Wrath", which is located within the area Morning Dew Residence;
• repentance of the eternal false body (×12) — the main resource-reward for defeating Fantiliya in "Echoes of War: Seed of Immortality";
• imprints of fate (×8).

Advantages and disadvantages

Having dealt with the rotational features of the Non-Existence unit, we can draw a conclusion about the main “pros” and “cons”:

Advantages	Disadvantages
Signature character of Nothingness for the heroine of the highest tier Acheron (Nothingness: Electric), which makes it much easier to get 9 charges of Sundered Dream to activate her ultimate.	The requirement for the signature light cone as the most satisfactory equipment option. The presence of alternatives does not solve the problem of closing the character's basic needs.
Universalism: The proposed nerfs will effectively complement any units and increase the combat power of any character in the damage-dealing Path.	Has a low base speed, which increases some need for third-party investments in the named stat if you want to effectively the hero's main nerfs.
High self-damage: both direct and spread from the periodic status Burning (aka "Hot Ash"). At the same time, he is not bad in DoT-oriented squads.	As a legendary type character, it is an expensive investment for the . Only Acheron experiences a high need for it due to the faster gain of charges for the ult. Other heroes play quite well with epic Pelo and other s.
High demand for only one characteristic - effect hit chance, which simplifies the build. If considered as a DoT unit, the need for attack power increases increases.
An inexpensive superpower that allows you to maintain the skill field in the long term.

Best Jiaoqiu Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

Fox, as a character of the Non-Being, specializing in the consistent spread of debuffs, primarily needs increases to such a characteristic as "chance to hit effects". This indicator directly determines how often the technique and talent will apply levels of the negative status "Hot Ash" when activated, for this reason the Jiaoqiu build in XSR considers it exclusively on debuffer positions - equipment and average stat values ​​are built based on this role.

Other important characteristics of the character include: speed, since it affects the frequency of moves. Combat type indicators - for example, Attack Power, which increases direct/periodic damage, or fire damage bonus, — can receive increases, especially if you want to increase the personal damage of the unit. However, it should be noted: investments are permissible only if it was possible to reach the optimal value of the SPE of 140%.

Recommended Specs

Priority main characteristics in artifacts:

Head	HP (permanent)
Arms	Attack Power (Permanent)
Body	Effect Hit Chance
Legs	Speed
planar sphere	Attack Power (a priority) or fire damage bonus (alternative)
Connecting rope	Energy recovery rate

Recommended secondary indicators include:

SHPE > speed > Attack Power (%)

Optimal stat values ​​at level 80:

• HP — 3 and more;
• Attack Power - in combat, taking into the buff from the trace "Flame of the Hearth" (240%) should reach 4 units and above;
• protection — 900 and more;
• effect hit chance — from 140%;
• speed — from 134 units — ideally should make moves before DPS units (especially at the beginning of the battle).

Light Cone Rating

When choosing a weapon for the fox, it is important that it belongs to the Path of Nonexistence. Otherwise, the hero will only be able to use basic bonuses to the main characteristics, and the ive skill will not be available.

The ideal weapon "card" is a signature light cone "Countless Spring Days", which covers the basic needs of the character. It will work both if the hero is part of a team that plays from periodic damage, and if the unit plays the role of a debuffer in squads with hyper-carry of any other damage-dealing Paths.

The most suitable equipment includes:

What relics and decorations are needed

Artifacts should focus on overall character buffing. Depending on what squad the hero is in, the equipped sets of cave relics may differ, but the basis is fixed on improving the unit's debuff potential.

planar decorations

Squad Guide

Moving on to the analysis of comfortable commands, it is important to summarize that the fox is engaged in the distribution of negative statuses responsible for:

• Increases damage from group ' superpowers;
• increased overall damage dealt;
• in the presence of the sixth eidolon, a decrease in the resistance of all types of vulnerabilities of opponents.

Accordingly, Jiaoqiu's primary role in the team is debufferAt the same time, the peculiarity of certain skills and traces allows the hero to be placed in the position of a secondary damage dealer.

Which characters are suitable?

The overall skill set makes the fox a versatile hero, capable of offering good synergy to any Hunting, Destruction, Erudite or damage dealing Oblivion characters. However, it is important to understand that the overall combat power increases markedly, if the team's hyper-carry is capable of demonstrating a high damage contribution when activating the ultimate skill, or the entire squad is focused on DoT mechanics.

As a result, ideal synergy is achieved in cooperation with the following units:

In addition, the fox's debuffs can be effectively used by:

Examples of the best teams

With the characters discussed above, the following squads can be formed:

Is it worth knocking out?

Jiaoqiu is a versatile character who is a legendary and more powerful alternative to the epic heroine Pele, who also follows the Path of Nothingness. The representative from Yaoqing Xianzhou is able to constantly maintain a weakening, increases incoming damage to enemies. Its main feature is a super ability that creates a field lasting three turns: while it is active, any enemy within the radius of action receives increased damage from ultimate skills.

The named bonus effectively combines with the combat mechanics of the top-tier unit Acheron, and also reveals other characters with high DPS from the ult (for example, Knight of Beauty Argenti). As an important "plus" it is worth noting that the fox-debuffer feels good in DoT-oriented squads, especially with the presence of a second eidolon.

As a result, the unit of Non-Existence is worth knocking out if:

1. Signature is required for Acheron.
2. There is a need for a versatile debuffer that can any squad.
3. I would like to replace Pelu, while getting debuffs of a more universal type.

The only difficulty you will encounter when assembling a character is reaching the optimal value of the “chance of effects to hit” characteristic. Despite the fact that there are good alternatives to signature weapons among light cones, in reality only "Countless Spring Days" will cover the hero's basic needs.

Which is better: signal or E1

signature light cone "Countless Spring Days" is a higher priority investment when compared to the first eidolon "Five Paths, Five Flavors". The advantage of the signal is revealed in the proposed increases to the SPE, which the unit needs (it increases to at least 140% due to the peculiarities of the hero's skills).

The first constant will undoubtedly increase the combat potential of the character. However, if it is not possible to gain enough SHPE through standard equipment and artifact indicators, It is recommended to aim to "Countless Days of Spring". In addition, the Light Cone increases the damage dealt by the group due to the "Armor Away" status, which transfers to the "Cornered" debuff.

We hope this guide in Honkai: Star Rail on building the best build for Jiaoqiu helped you choose the right equipment and a good team for the hero. Questions regarding the character can be left in comments - this way the author or other players can help.
