He's missing some of his traces but he's at 133% EHR. The Tutorial LC does help tremendously but if I had better relic RNG, the 120% wouldn't be so difficult.

[@twistedofficial]

One thing worth considering if you're somewhat lacking with gems; It's mentioned how despite not always being a huge damage increase over the 4 star options, he has ease of use and uptime to beat them out, only getting a bigger difference in strength through E's and S's which throw the 4 star options out of the equation entirely.. BUT Remember that you might not always want that constant uptime free damage playstyle. I often forget how fun it can be to min max 4 star options and make them as useful and strong as they can be, and though it requires more "skill" or at least consideration, it can be very rewarding and ultimately save you a lot of resources which then go into your DPS, leading to overall way better DPS. Obviously go for who you like, and do what feels right for you, but consider what you enjoy with the combat. I've often ended up regretting spending so much money on higher eidolons and signatures because in the long run it just dilutes the need to actually play the game. Sure we're getting more challenging content which you want to clear, but doing this doesn't require spending at all, just some structured budgeting with your farming and spending of gems. I want to tune into that playstyle going forward, only spending to get the base copy of characters from now on. I whaled for e6s1 Acheron in a sort of heat of the moment thing, blowing my months budget and putting myself in debt (I know it's retarded) and I know this isn't uncommon in the gacha sphere. Not only did the irl cost affect me a lot but in game she's been less fun to play than on my free to play alt after a while. It's fun to see big numbers and potential playstyles, but it quickly makes playing other characters without whale investment feel underwhelming in comparison and cheapens the gaming experience. I know this is obvious to a lot of you, but I just want to throw it out for those it applies to. Also we're getting a sick new DPS soon!

Also worth noting : Jiaoqiu has good synergy with Guinaifen. For starters, they are both Fire units dealing decent Toughness damage : pretty useful for targeting a specific weakness. Moreover, Guinaifen : _ increases Jiaoqiu's DoT with her E2. _ detonates Jiaoqiu's DoT (in AoE). _ reduces Jiaoqiu's EHR needs to 138%, even with his signature LC. _ her Firekiss will stack up twice as fast with Ashen Roast.

Reading through some of the threads in these comments is just BAFFLING to me, it's like people wholeheatrily believe he is BAD, and at this stage, no numbers, video clears or stats will change their mind. The community is so bias against this character and it's been a while since I've seen people downplay a unit that makes one of the BEST DPS in the entire game, BETTER, and more comfortable to play and in more modes. Not every unit can fit every dps or team, isn't a support that enables the best of the best to be ... better, a good thing to those that like Acheron and want to run her longer and longer into each meta? For some that have every other possible option, yeah, he might only be a slight upgrade, but as somebody with s5 sweaty Pela, SW and e0s1 Acheron, I cannot wait for him!

[@DrStunJosh]

Am I crazy for thinking even at E0S1 JQ is great for DoTs? Gwen’s burns are get blocked by resistences, but Ashen Roast applies regardless. Kafka+BS+JQ+Sustain seems pretty good on paper, particularly because RM can’t be everywhere at once AND we still don’t have a DoT focused Harmony or Sustain. So, JQ seems like a fair option to give dmg amp alongside BS’s def down for Kafka, while adding a third (or fourth) DoT to explode

[@gunnarschlichting9886]

Even if he really is worse, losing only a single cycle to free up Ruan Mei is pretty valuable.

[@DrStunJosh]

@@gunnarschlichting9886 True. RM can't be everyone, that's her one problem. Of course, eventually, this will become a moot point when an actually DoT Harmony (or Sustain, like Aventurine for FUA) drops.

[@someguy1ification]

So, in DoTa e6 Guin provides nearly the same damage amp as e0 Jaioqiu(30.4% vs 35%, and if you want to include his lightcone... It also goes quite well on Gui) but much higher personal damage (her multiplier is higher, and she can detonate both her own, and Black Swan's Epiphany. Not the base Arcana, only during the ult. Note that the higher dot multiplier also means that Kafka's detonations hit harder). He only gets ahead in DoTs in fights where Gui can't consistently keep her dots up. This is a fair amount, though. Burn immunes alone aren't really a good reason to pull for him, but notably in Pure Fiction the enemies are just dying and being replaced too quickly for Guinaifen to maintain her burn on them, while Jiaoqiu burns them on entry during his ult (which is most, if not all, of the time)

[@DrStunJosh]

@@someguy1ification for myself, I’m pulling his LC for BS (who I’ll get on her rerun). I don’t consider PF for anything (as I’m not worried), so I was thinking mainly for MoC or AS to have JQ on DoTs.

@guobacertified Boothill genuinely gives so much for Acheron's stacks, with his Skill taunting, his EBA breaking (applying bleed), and his ULT applying Physical Weakness and now with Jiaoqiu in the picture, Acheron gets her stacks faster whilst also amplifying both her AND Boothill's DMG truly the team of all time

Right? People in here commenting he is a hard pass because they already have x nihility unity for acheron don’t understand HOW FAST he generates stacks for acheron. I got him at lvl 60, no talent’s upgraded, and still my acheron is bursting twice as fast as before

Also This is an advice for more prime prime players but If u have e2 acheron you want to run sparkle, if u run sparkle and shes also e2 she gets def ignore wich gets mlre valuable the less def shred the enemy has so if u were alr running sw or pela u were getting division value from thst eidolon but them but not with him

[@joshsolders5543]

8:34 It is fair to point out that the HP and Def come almost naturally from leveling, so a few stray def or hp stats on your pieces will cover those stat requirements. If you want more bulk, that's fine, but you don't need to go for bulk if you don't want to, and probably want the damage increase for DoT specific teams.

[@xHaidax]

Funfact i was running Jiaoqiu with Guinaifen for the longest time since, Ashen roast counts as Burn and can be applied together with burn. That makes 2 stacks of firekiss per enemy turn.

[@blasian1776]

He works decently as a replacement to Ruan Mei and Robin. Thing is with Robin + Huohuo you are gonna run into SP issues 9/10. Ruan Mei is better then Jiaoqiu, but she’s also staple for break teams. I wouldn’t recommend pulling Jiaoqiu for DoT specifically, but it’s not a bad option if you need your Ruan Mei for FF or Boothill or if the side your using Dot on is weak to Fire. Only problem, you can’t build him for Achreon and for Dot really. It’s either one or the other unless you wanna switch relics back and forth. I personally do think it’s overall better to build him as a support rather than Dot dps. Since support is universal while Dot is niche. But if your very invested in the idea of dot Jiaoqiu, then he’s decent.

[@ZytenEspada]

@@blasian1776 laughs in DoTcheron.

[@literallyjiaoqiu]

you can, both builds just require ehr (to apply stacks) and the next best thing is atk or fire dmg, the err can be used or not too. by getting ehr (which is what he needs) you apply the debuff more often AND you get more atk via his trace, making the same build useful in both dot and acheron (plus, prisoner works for both)

Yes. If we took account of stacks gain, its roughly 30% better than pela sw

you can clear same amount of cycles with a proper sw pela team wind set compared to e0s1 jq pela. done multiple tests on private server. just save your resources and worst case scenario you lose 1-2 cycles on a rough moc. a good acheron can clear anything in 1-2 cycles anyway.

He has four uses, replacing topaz in dr ratio team due to not enough debuffs ie only 80% follow up chance.

The biggest advantage of JQ imo is replacing Trend, so I would really like to know how much of an upgrade he is over a trend user like Gepard. I know this depends a lot on assumptions you would make of what kind of fight it is, but I feel like it would still be informative to show a few different scenarios (e.g. 1 fast boss like in AP, many small enemies like in PF, 2 elites and 1 boss+elite like in MoC) so people would get a feel for when JQ is better and by how much. Just saying I gave the JQ team 1 more ult does feel a bit too reductive, since I still have no idea how this applies to the various endgame modes.
