Jiaoqiu in Honkai Star Rail: Build Guide and Top Teams

Jiaoqiu in HSR is 5⭐ hero who plays a support role. His main task is to cast and refresh various debuffs on enemies. Priority status within the rotation is Ashen Roast: not only does it increase incoming damage to enemies, but it is also considered a DoT bonus of the "Burn" type. Thanks to this advantage, the fox feels good in squads that play from periodic damage, which are often led by Lightning Kafka or, for example, Fire 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 debuffs on enemies during the battle. The fox provides stability to the first type of units due to the super ability "Pyrograph Arcanum", for the second - through the already mentioned "Ashen Roast", which is imposed by using any active skill.

Hero's story

A healer from the fox people from Yaoqing Xianzhou is distinguished by his outward friendliness and inner cunning. He is well versed in alchemical recipes - he views food primarily as a medicine capable of curing many ailments. Based on common passions, he found himself in "healing cooking". To effectively realize his personal potential, he invented a cauldron for preparing restorative elixirs called the "nine-squared grid".

The man's background comes from a noble family that is part of the "Alchemy Commission". As a playable character, he is a member of the "Xianzhou Alliance" faction and has close ties to General FeixiaoIt is known that years earlier the fox had given up on medicine due to failures in the love field, but soon returned to become Falcon Might's personal healer.

Features

As a unit ascends, his basic characteristics increase - health, attack power, defense. You can see the changes as you level up in the table:

Stats such as taunt and speed, in turn, do not change with the acquisition of a new level and/or ascension stage.

How skills work

The Representative of Nihility not only imposes various debuffs on all opponents, but also deals good fire damage. His main abilities include his talent and ultimate skill:

• The talent supports the correct operation of the "Ashen Roast" 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 passive skills: we will explain the principle of the distribution of the main debuff of the character, we will outline the order of leveling 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 the technique, basic attack, skill and ult.

Passive Skills

The Character's pssive skills include his talent, which is aimed at unlocking the debuff potential of Ashen Roast.

Leveling Order

Talent/superpower > skill > basic attack

The priority of skills for the considered unit of Nihility is as follows:

1. Talent - an important skill that increases the effectiveness of the main debuff spread by the hero.
2. Ultimate 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 debuff that lasts as long as the fire field is active. In addition, resource investments will increase the base chance to trigger the Ashen Roast effect levels.
3. Skill и BA are less significant compared to the abilities discussed above. Each of the abilities has a basic chance to provoke the imposition of the main debuff of the character, but luck depends on the talent and investments into the effect hit rate (EHR) stat. As a result, the material costs for skill and basic attack upgrades will only affect the damage of these abilities.

Traces

All traces:

The total increase in characteristics is:

• effect hit rate - + 24.0 %
• Fire damage bonus - + 14.4 %
• speed - +5 .

Eidolons

All consts:

The best eidolons of Jiaoqiu are the first, second and sixth ones:

• 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 debuff levels to the maximum value.
• E2 — a good buff that will be especially in demand for the debuffer playing in a DoT team. The reason is that From Savor Comes Suffer Increases the periodic fire damage of Ashen Roast.
• E6 - A powerful eidolon aimed at increasing the debuff of Ashen Roast: 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 the first eidolon. If you plan to use the unit in DoT squads, you should ensure that he has his second constellation.

How to Play Jiaoqiu in HSR

Jiaoqiu's rotation should be built around spreading and maintaining levels of Ashen Roast. 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 break. Of secondary, but no less significant importance is the debuff 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 the technique. 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 you are fighting several enemies, give preference to the skill to apply a massive debuff with the talent.
3. If you are fighting a single opponent, which is an elite boss, activate the 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 using the superpowers of other allied damage dealers. For example, if the fox plays in a team with Lightning Acheron, activate "Pyrograph Arcanum"first, after that - the skill of the galactic ranger Slashed Dream Cries in Red.
5. Keep track of the number of levels of the Ashen Roast effect and their total duration, try to maintain the max. number of allowed stacks.

Strengths and Weaknesses

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

Best Jiaoqiu Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

The Fox, as a character of the Nihility, specializing in the consistent spread of debuffs, primarily needs increases to such a characteristic as effect hit rate. This indicator directly determines how often the technique and talent will apply levels of the Ashen Roast negative status when activated, for this reason Jiaoqiu in HSR is considered only for a debuffer position, as his 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 actions. Combat type indicators - for example, ATK, 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 EHR of 140%.

Recommended Stats

Priority main characteristics in artifacts:

Recommended secondary indicators include:

EHR > speed > ATK (%)

Optimal stat values ​​at level 80:

• HP — 3 and more;
• ATK - in combat, taking into account the buff from the trace Hearth Kindle (240%) should be equal to 4 and more;
• defense — 900 and more;
• effect hit rate — 140%+;
• speed — 134+ — ideally should take action 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 Nihility. Otherwise, the hero will only be able to use basic bonuses to the main characteristics, and the passive skill will not be available.

The ideal weapon "card" is a signature light cone "Those Many Springs", 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:

Light cone	Effect	Recommendation
Those Many Springs ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-953 ATK 26-582 DEF 24-529	Chance to hit effects increases by 60-100%. When the wielder uses a basic attack, skill, or super to attack an enemy, it has a base chance of 60% to inflict the Unarmored status on the target. The damage received by an enemy with the Unarmored status increases by 10-18% for 2 turns. If the enemy has a damage over time effect applied by the owner, there is a base 60% chance of increasing the Unarmored status to the Cornered status, which additionally increases the damage taken by the enemy by 14-20% for 2 turns. While the “Cornered” status is active, the character cannot apply the Unarmored effect to the target.	A signature that offers a significant increase to the "chance to hit effects" stat. In addition, it provides the squad with additional negative statuses that affect the increase in outgoing damage numbers. Since the talent allows the character to apply the Burn periodic damage status, he will be able to easily change the effect of "Unarmored" to "Cornered" and thus maintain stable third-party debuffs.
Lies Dance on the Breeze ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-953 ATK 26-582 DEF 24-529	Increases SPD by 18-30%. After the wearer uses a strike, there is a base 120% chance to inflict the Bamboozle status on each enemy, reducing defense by 16-24% for 2 turns. If the speed is greater than or equal to 170, there is a base chance of 120% to apply the Theft status to all targets, reducing defense by 8-12% for 2 turns. When statuses are applied again, only the last applied effect remains active.	An excellent option that allows the hero to impose an additional debuff in the form of a multiple decrease in enemy defense. Despite the requirement of 170 speed, due to the increase in this characteristic in the weapon's passive, as well as the fact that the fox himself strives for frequent actions, achieving this value is quite possible.
Eyes of the Prey (S5) | F2P ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	Chance to hit effects increases by 20-40%, and periodic damage - by 24-48%.	An ideal option for epic gear of an accessible type, which allows you to get additional percentages to EHR. In addition, it increases the overall damage over time, which is good even if the character is not in a DoT group.
Incessant Rain ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463	The owner's chance to hit is increased by 24-40%. When he deals damage to an enemy whose number of existing debuffs is greater than or equal to 3, their crit. chance increases by 12-20%. When he uses a basic attack, skill, or super on an opponent without the Aether Code status, he has a base chance 100% apply this effect to it. Damage taken by an enemy with the Aether Code status is increased by 12-20% for 1 turn.	Acceptable, but expensive equipment option. Not bad due to the increase in EHR and the additional negative status “Aether Code”, which will be useful to the entire squad. Having 3 or more debuffs also increases crit. the carrier's chance, which will not be superfluous to increase instant personal damage.
Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	When the wielder hits an enemy that does not have the Ensnared status, there is a base chance 60-100% apply this effect to it. The defense of an enemy with the “Ensnared” status is reduced by 12-16% for 1 turn.	One of the best light cones of the Path of Nihility, aimed at reducing the enemy's defense and, as a result, increasing the damage that passes through it. However, it is worth considering it for the fox only if the characteristics have the optimal EHR value, 140%.
Solitary Healing (S5) | F2P ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 24-529 DEF 18-396	Break effect is increased by 20-40%. When a character activates a super ability, their damage over time multiplier is increased by 24-48% for 2 turns. Defeating an enemy that has a DoT effect from the owner restores 4-8 energy.	One of the F2P equipment options that can be upgraded to the maximum Ascension level in the early stages of the game. Affects the growth of periodic damage and energy recovery, which fits well with the character's mechanics.
Before the Tutorial Mission Starts (S5) | F2P ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	Chance to hit effects increases by 20-40%. When the owner of a weapon attacks an enemy with reduced defense, he restores 4-8 energy.	An alternative to the 4⭐ light cone “Eyes of the Prey", which, by analogy, gives a stable increase in the chance of hitting effects. To fully implement the passive skill “Quick on the Draw,” it is important that the team has a character capable of lower defense (for example, Silver Wolf or Pela). Otherwise, one can only be content with an increase in the EHR.
Void (S5) | F2P ⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 14-317 DEF 12-264	At the beginning of the battle, the chance to hit effects increases by 20-40% for 3 turns.	An affordable light cone of rare quality, which is good in the early stages of the game due to the fact that it can quickly get 5th superimposition level; In addition, it is suitable for quick battles (up to 3 turns). Note: later requires replacement with more stable increases, independent of the battle; or can be used with a sufficiently high EHR obtained with artifacts. Under the described conditions, the fox will be able to apply the maximum (or almost maximum) number of stacks from the talent at the beginning of the battle, and then maintain them at an acceptable level.

What relics and ornaments are needed

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

Cavern relics

The set is	Effect	Recommendation
Eagle of Twilight Line	2 parts: wind damage +10%. 4 parts: After using a superpower, the action of the wearer of the set advances by 25%.	An ideal option, but only reveals itself when fully equipped. When equipped, the bonus from 4 parts of the set - moving forward after using the ultimate skill - becomes highly significant. This set is an excellent option for many representatives of the "Support" type, in particular it will look good on the character in question, who will be able to perform an action more often and, as a result, use the superpower even more often.
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters	2 parts: speed +6%. 2 parts: Damage dealt to enemies with debuffs +12%.	An alternative set to increase the speed and damage that passes through enemy targets with debuffs. Aimed at performing more frequent actions and increasing the personal DPS of the wearer.
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal Firesmith of Lava-Forging Musketeer of Wild Wheat / Prisoner in Deep Confinement / The Wind-Soaring Valorous / Hero of Triumphant Song	2 parts: speed +6%. 2 parts: speed +6%. 2 parts: fire damage +10%. 2 parts: attack power +12%.	2x2 combo options that offer a boost to the character's overall DPS power. Attack Power Boost Set is most preferred, however, in the absence of good artifact parts, replacement with sets that increase fire damage or speed (for taking actions more frequently, respectively) is allowed.
Prisoner in Deep Confinement	2 parts: attack power +12%. 4 parts: For each periodic damage effect an enemy has (up to max. 3), when dealing damage, the wearer of the set ignores 6% of that enemy's defense.	A variant of equipment if the character is in a squad specializing in periodic damage. Within its framework, the hero, in addition to the main debuff, will be engaged in the distribution of the DoT status "Burn" and, along with other units, will actively participate in eliminating opponents. The main rotation skills are the skill and superpower.

Planar ornaments

The set is	Effect	Recommendation
Sprightly Vonwacq	2 parts: Pincreases the rate of energy recovery by 5%. If the owner's speed is greater than or equal to 120 , at the beginning of the battle their action advances by 40%.	One of the most preferred sets for the character, which will offer energy recovery speed and also advance the action at the beginning of the fight, allowing the battle to start with the fox's attacks and applying his main debuff.
Broken keel Lushaka, the Sunken Seas Penacony, Land of the Dreams Fleet of the Ageless	2 parts: Increases status resistance by 10%. If status resistance is greater than or equal to 30%, all allies' critical damage is increased by 10%. 2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 5%. If the owner is not the first character in the party, the attack power of the first character increases by 12%. 2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 5%. Increases damage dealt by allies of the same type as the owner by 10%. 2 parts: Increases Health by 12%. When Speed ​​reaches 120 or more, all allies gain an 8% bonus to Attack Power.	An additional equipment option that increases the character's support functions: the increases, in turn, are considered based on the needs of the squad. When equipping one of the listed sets, do not forget to provide for the presence of satisfactory conditions for the full operation of the passive effect.
Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise	2 parts: Increases the chance of the owner's effects to hit by 10%. In addition, increases attack power by 25% of the current chance to hit effects - the effect can stack up to 25%.	An alternative option for planar ornaments if you can’t get 140% of EHR.
Space Sealing Station	2 parts: increases the owner's attack power by 12%. If the speed is greater than or equal to 120 unit, then its attack power is additionally increased by 12%.	A set aimed at increasing the hero's personal combat power, as it offers increases to ATK - the second most important stat. The set will be especially useful if the character acts as a secondary damage dealer in squads aimed at maintaining periodic damage.

Squad Guide

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

• Increases damage from group members' 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 a debuffer. At 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 Hunt, Destruction, Erudition or damage dealing Nihility characters. However, it is important to understand that the overall combat power increases quite a lot, 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:

Character	Damage Path and Type	Features
Acheron	Nihility Lightning	The greatest damage is caused by the super ability, the activation of which becomes possible after receiving level 9 of the "Slashed Dream" status. Charges, in turn, are collected when opponents receive debuffs. Additionally, it requires 2 representatives of the Nihility in the group (at E2, one is enough) for the correct operation of the hidden talent "The Abyss".
Argenti	Erudition Physical	Has two variations of superpowers, the second one deals the highest percentage of damage, as it carries out 6 additional attacks on opponents. Cooperation with the fox will significantly increase the overall combat potential of the character.
Misha	Destruction Ice	During the allies' turns (expenditure of action points) accumulates superpower strikes (max. number - 10). At the moment of using the skill, it deals multiple damage, which will only increase from the "Pyrograph Arcanum" zone.
Doctor Ratio	The Hunt Imaginary	The main damage is provided by bonus attacks, the activation frequency of which depends on the number of debuffs on enemies. For this reason, it requires representatives of the Nihility, who are able to constantly maintain multiple negative effects on enemies.
Kafka	Nihility Lightning	A bright DoT heroine who leads groups from the periodic damage mechanic, since after studying the Torment trace, she begins to explode DoT-type statuses by using her superpower and thereby inflict colossal damage numbers.
Black Swan	Nihility Wind	The owner of a unique negative effect "Arcane", which perfectly synergizes with the status of periodic damage, which is why the importance of the Black Swan increases in squads from the named mechanics. At the same time, it is capable of reducing the defense of enemies, which can significantly increase the combat effectiveness of the entire team.
Guinaifen	Nihility Fire	An epic counterpart to Kafka the Stellaron Hunter, but with less combat potential as it only detonates the Burn status effect, not all damage over time effects.
Sampo	Nihility Wind	Primary skills apply the Wind Shear periodic damage status to enemies. Additionally, he can blind enemies, which delays their turns in the battle cycle.
Serval	Erudition Lightning	Deals explosive AoE damage using her super ability, and also applies the DoT status "Shock" with her active skills, which turns the girl into a good F2P unit in groups from periodic damage.
Himeko	Erudition Fire	A secondary DPS representative whose damage is concentrated in bonus attacks from the talent. After learning the hidden talent "Starfire", she gains the ability to cast Burn on enemies, which contributes to additional cooperation with the fox from Yaoqing.
Luka	Nihility Physical	An epic hero whose significance lies in the negative status "Bleed" and a super ability that has a base chance of 100% to increase the damage received by an enemy target for several turns.
Asta	Harmony Fire	Free Harmony with a list of pleasant buffs that are maintained on all allies: increases attack power and speed, after learning "Ignite" increases the team's fire damage. Additionally, it can support third-party damage, including from Burn.

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

1	2	3	4	5
The Trailblazer (Destruction: Physical)	Mydei (Destruction: Imaginary)	Imbibitor Lunae (Destruction: Imaginary)	Jingliu (Destruction: Ice)	Blade (Destruction: Wind)
Yunli (Destruction: Physical)	Clara (Destruction: Physical)	Arlan (Destruction: Lightning)	Hook (Destruction: Fire)	Xueyi (Destruction: Quantum)
Feixiao (The Hunt: Wind)	Topaz (The Hunt: Fire)	March 7 (The Hunt: Imaginary)	Seele (The Hunt: Quantum)	Yanqing (The Hunt: Ice)
Dan Heng (The Hunt: Wind)	Sushan (The Hunt: Physical)	Moze (The Hunt: Lightning)	Anaxa (Erudition: Wind)	The Herta (Erudition: Ice)
Jade (Erudition: Quantum)	Jing Yuan (Erudition: Lightning)	Qingque (Erudition: Quantum)	Herta (Erudition: Ice)	Castorice (Remembrance: Quantum)
Aglaea (Remembrance: Lightning)	The Trailblazer (Remembrance: Ice)	Welt (Nihility: Imaginary)

The latter is assisted by selected representatives of Nihility. Pela is engaged in reducing defense, and Cipher increases damage to enemies.  The last slot is occupied by Gallagher with good healing and the ability to apply an additional Besotted debuff.

Jing Yuan	Ruan Mei Sunday	Jiaoqiu	Gallagher Bailu	Jing Yuan is a mass damage dealer with decent solo-target damage. Sunday/any sustain and Ruan Mei/Gallagher are considered the most attractive support pairings that will significantly strengthen the general in the hyper-carry position.
Mydei Blade Jingliu	Jiaoqiu	Sparkle Sunday Tribbie	Luocha Gallagher	An example of a squad with a Destruction representative as the main DPS hero. The characters in question play based on the HP consumption mechanics, and therefore need stable healing. In addition, they have fairly powerful versions of ultimate skills and are capable of inflicting high damage during their use (especially under buffs from supports).
Castorice Aglaea	MC Remembrance Sunday	Jiaoqiu	Luocha Gallagher	An additional example with heroes playing off the mechanics of memosprites. The first support slot is occupied by units capable of offering good boosts not only to the main damage dealer, but also to his summoned creature. The fox, in turn, is engaged in the execution of his standard functions - the distribution of debuffs in order to increase the outgoing DPS of the chosen hyper-carry.
The Herta	Anaxa	Jiaoqiu	Huohuo	A team variant where The Herta gets full disclosure. In cooperation, scientists complement each other, since both the girl and the goldius need +1 representative of the Erudition for comfortable realization of personal talents.
Misha	Yukong Hanya	Jiaoqiu	Lynx Natasha	A "gluttonous" in terms of action point team that allows Misha to inflict maximum damage with his superpower. Suitable for beginners to complete most of the content, including F2P accounts will do well as additional variety in packs.

Is The Character Worth Pulling?

Jiaoqiu is a versatile character who is a legendary and more powerful alternative to the epic heroine Pela, who also follows the Path of Nihility. The representative of Yaoqing Xianzhou is able to constantly maintain debuffs, increases incoming damage to enemies. His 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 Nihility is worth obtaining if:

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

The only difficulty you will encounter when building the character is reaching the optimal value of the EHR characteristic. Despite the fact that there are good alternatives to signature weapons among light cones, in reality only ""Those Many Springs"" will cover the hero's basic needs.

Which is better: signature or E1

The signature light cone, ""Those Many Springs"", is a higher priority investment when compared to the first eidolon "Pentapathic Transference". The advantage of the signature is the increase to EHR, which the unit needs (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 support character. However, if it is not possible to gain enough EHR through standard equipment and artifact indicators, it is recommended to aim at "Those Many Springs". In addition, the Light Cone increases the damage dealt by the group due to the Unarmored status, which transfers to the Cornered debuff.
