A COMPLETE Guide to Jade! | Relics, Best Build, Teams

Here is my complete guide to Jade, our newest limited DPS in Honkai: Star Rail! She is more of a Sub-DPS, but boasts some very high multipliers and does crazy damage numbers when she's in the right place, Pure Fiction. Though her E1 may help with that... I go through Jade's best relics, best build, light cones, and more like Eidolons and Jade Teams! This is all on the Creator Experience server so some minor things may be subject to change. Like, sub, and share if this helped!

Pulling cuz Mommy, but she also has one of those kits that has so many exploitable gimmicks/mechanics that I feel she can get silly fast in various modes and with various future supports. Easily stacked Follow-up, strong Ult, Blast Basic (Propagation..?), etc. Perfect for my love of clown comps while also instantly-winning PF is a nice mix for my account.

[@Lionguild]

E1 Jade + E4 Bronya. Crazy fast basic attack spam that gives 6 charges each time.

[@shira3353]

a team worth mentioning as well for jade hypercarry is jade robin gallagher bronya, im surprised not many people mentioned this comp (i did not invent this team, im just sharing this comp as i saw some less popular TCs theorycrafted to be very effective in moc which i also find to be true) jade as usual atk boots slow build robin standard build gallagher quid pro quo 160+ spd after receiving jade buff bronya 160+ spd and -1 spd set up with gallagher this set up 1 cycled 2.4 moc12 without any quantum weakness present this setup will have gallagher constantly taking turn with bronya speedtuning, gallagher will be providing a significant amount of energy to robin via quid pro quo, and the team is extremely sp positive give this comp a try, whoever is pulling for jade. im personally gonna skip her but good luck with ur pulls Edit: i forgot to mention this but E1 jade isnt necessary for this comp, but it would be a huge dmg increase if u do get it. jade E1 > S1 always and ya cant rlly change any of the team members either

E1 Jade does sound interesting, I just may have to go for it :)

[@dedicatus5453]

I really think E1 Jade with Topaz as debt collector is lowkey lore accurate but especially quirky, in a FUA centric team (Topaz-Jade-Aven-Robin), Numby surely can still have high frequency of attacks abusing that Jade E1 and having FUA galore.

[@DragonHalo3D]

whoah so jade is the start of the health consumption meta. didn't expect this. once all the pieces for that team are out, i think there will officially be a strong, viable team for each playstyle

[@Shadowenclave47]

I used up almost all of my Stellar Jades (and probably luck as well lol) on Firefly and Ruan Mei but im really considering trying my luck to pull for Jade cuz mommies and i am struggling HARD in Pure Fiction lol (and yes, i do have Herta built but her alone isn't cutting it for me). The 5* characters i have right now are Acheron + signature lightcone, Jingliu, Aventurine, Firefly, Ruan Mei, free Dr. Ratio, E1 Welt, Bronya and an E1 Bailu (bleh! Wish it was Himeko instead but im still a long way before im able to choose my standard 5* character). Also, i heard that Black Swan is rerunning next patch and i wanted her and Kafka (also because mommies lol) but i started playing right at the end of Kafka's rerun and had to skip Black Swan in order to secure Acheron. Also i heard that DOT teams are also good for Pure Fiction.

I'm getting her for Argenti 90 energy spam and for when I finally get my hands on Blade, but most importantly for the new tool she provides going forward.

what are the calcs for her signature on jingyuan? i want to get s5 trend, and I still dont have jingyuan's LC, so i would love to know how much worse her signature is on him in case i get it early

[@ThatBB]

If you have jade S1 is it worth going for 142.4 Crit Damage so you get the full 48% bonus follow up damage on her first follow up? In the worst case there is only 1 enemy she should have 24 talent stacks or 57.6% extra crit damage. 15 from technique, 1 from enemy, 3 from debt collector turn, 5 from follow up.

[@azrulamir71]

Great vid as always ✨ btw what is your opinion on Hypercarry Jade with 161 Sparkle and 160 Bronya?

[@gazakana]

That's sound kinda mid honestly, the majority of her damage comes from the follow up attack that bronya can't buff with her skill, that plus the only good debt collector slot would be your healer, probably Gallagher or luocha Problaby jade is gonna hit much harder using pela as a debt collector slave, you can keep sparkle tho, and use a heavier sp consumption healer like huo huo Unless you are fucking bonkers and use your bronya to advance forward your healer/tank debt collector to generate jade stacks while getting bronya's ult buff, which sounds fucking crazy but actually good

[@palpitoadz]

I was thinking of running herta with that pela build

[@Assassin21BEKA]

Can her signature lc in theory be pretty good for Argenti? Yes, he will need to use his basic attack before ult, but 20% def ignore looks pretty good. Im thinking about it because i kinda want to pull Jade, but i also really want to get signature lc of Argenti at the same time(i was lucky or unlucky to get his e2 in 10 pulls after getting first copy, so i came to like him a lot). So what if i will be able to pull Jade weapon and use it on both of them? I also love using Blade, so Jade look like great pick up.

[@danielpollack7442]

How does her light cone seem to work on Jing Yuan? It seems like it’ll be pretty easy to stack the FUA buff if running him with Sparkle.

[@lostblueboy]

Hey guoba, i wanted to know why isnt jing yuan good with jade? He has an aoe skill and ukt, and a follow up that can hit all targets and speed is needed on him. Is there something i am missing?

[@NinO12752]

Looking at the coming banners it’s a hard decision but I’m going for jade since I love the follow up mechanic. Maybe I’ll go for s1 as well, but it depends on the 4* LC coming with it as well

[@ryogaz1210]

Would Blade relics set change with Jade in the team? I reckon since he would use follow-up attack more with her he may prefer relics that pander to that but I don't know which one is the best for him

[@Atro16]

If I wanted to get Jade to pair her up with my E0S1 Jing Yuan, is not worth or why did you say that he would be the weakest pair up with her? I'm asking since I'm not that invested into the game to see a difference between Jing Yuan and Himeko for example

[@sharkpower664]

Can she be paired with Dr Ratio? I joined the game a couple months ago, I am f2p and have pulled E0S1 Jingliu, E0S1 Ruan Mei and E0S0 Fuxuan. I have Dr Ratio as my 2nd dps. I cannot clear pure fiction, cuz i don't got himeko, i do have herta, but the aeo is not enough. Should i pull for jade? can she help my account? or should i save for Sparkle/Aventurine?

@guobacertified I know I’m a bit late but, what are the calculations for the relics (duke vs genius) when you factor in the “sig LC” with its def ignore? I wonder this because of def ignore stacking goes crazy.

[@piyushmaheshwari1762]

Jade vs Argenti!!! Please, need a video on that.

[@thomasgareaubaritone627]

It’s a bit sad that she needs her E1 to work with the other follow-up-team members (topaz, ratio, aventurine). But I can definitely imagine some good combos once she has the E1. It feels like Topaz/Jade e1 was meant to be.

[@zytenespada6564]

Im gonna run her hypercarry with E1 probably. Jade/Bronya/Robin/FX sounds like it should work fine. Definitely pulling regardless though her design is top tier.

[@buzzsawkhan]

A question: Does Jade's Debt Collector buff stack with Firefly's speed increase from her ultimate state? I doubt that it's a truly viable team(or, better put, viable compared to Jade in a team more tailored for her), but it would be amusing to me if I could slot Jade into my RM-Firefly-Harmony MC team in place of Gallagher and get +90 speed on FF.

[@zaxtonhong3958]

Speed has diminishing returns but I don’t see why that wouldn’t work

[@DarkShadowOblivion]

Legitimately I think Sparkle/FX will be the best support side for the Jade/Blade duo.

[@gabrispy]

from 0 to 10 how much u rate her on MOC? without blade, maybe with yanqing or hypercarry?

[@karsnogen8141]

Guoba looking mighty fine today

[@destroymanthe3rd]

would e1 or s1 be better for jade if in a team with blade and bronya?

[@danielloosjr396]

I don't know if I want her or not, as I have two teams, a break one, and a follow-up one. I don't know if she could replace the free Dr Ratio I got, if so she could potentially make that team strong enough to compete with my Firefly team. I also don't know if I want to get Argenti, because I want Sparkle, and being a player who started not long before Robin released, I don't know how much synergy they have with each other. I am likely to pull for one or the other at least, so with me it is more about who I will pull for, rather than if I pull.

[@gshimon]

im wondering if i should go for e1 jade or for her signature light cone 🤔

[@termina2737]

I was really close to pulling Jade for my Blade, but I ended up deciding to get E1 Ruan Mei instead.

I am lined up for a Jade 100%. Ended up with Firefly, Firefly LC, and Clara (while going for E1). Gonna spend my guarentee on Jade, and hopefully pick up enough dup 4* to get the Clara LC from the shop.

[@Pheonee]

Psst - if it's a good cone for Clara you want, I recommend waiting til the end of Jade's patch for the version 2.4 details just to see if there's anything there you may be interested in. (Actually, Aeon is technically better for her than Something Irreplaceable right now, but it's very contested and doesn't have her lovely smile on it.)

[@whatthegavo]

Use Aeon in Clara since you’re not using it in Firefly and I’d recommend to pull Yunli’s signature for her if you love her that much, that’s probably what I’d do lol. Clara’s sig is not that great anyways, and I have it s2 💀

[@Adser261]

I'm going IPC team (Topaz, Aventurine, Jade, Ratio). I was planning to have Jade buff Ratio, so he can change his speed boots for a ATK% one. Is that the best choice for this team? Seems like the best option for me but I'm too lazy to do the full math.

[@whatthegavo]

she won’t benefit from single target debt collectors unless e1, and even in that case she’d be better with topaz being the debt collector as she is a high frecuency fua attacker already, and replacing ratio with robin for boosting everyone’s dmg. if you’re pulling her e1 you can try tho, but have in mind that you’d still need enoughs debuff to guarantee ratio fua

[@Adser261]

@@whatthegavo I already have the debuffs and I am going for thematic team, so no Robin. Topaz is faster and would give more charges but that 30 speed is significant and Ratio is the heavy hitter of the team. I'm more interested in increasing the entire team damage that only Jade's, which is why I wanted to ask Guoba to do the math :P

Does Jade actually work with Yanqing? Will the health reduction not deactivate the Soulsteel Sync effect?

[@xLvsinq]

Well why would you want to use a single target dps with jade who wants her buff on a blast/aoe dps

[@Yummymarshy]

⁠@@xLvsinqcause her e1 makes her work with yangqing/ ratio/ topaz and gain more stacks per turn then a blast character due to follow ups. In fact her best team currently is hyper speed pela and two buffers if you have E1. Otherwise blade and other Aoe blasts are better at e0.
