During the early days of Honkai: Star Rail, players got to witness the release of one of the best debuffers in the form of Silver Wolf. However, there was a serious drought for this type of character ever since then, until Jiaoqiu finally graced this world with his presence during the Version 2.4 update.

Jiaoqiu is a five-star Nihility unit with Fire as his combat type, and he can easily be one of the must-pull characters depending on what characters you have on your account. If you're planning to get this unit, here's the best way to build him for the most value.

Getting the correct relic set bonuses is one of the most important things while building a character, and here are the best ones for Jiaoqiu:

Type

Name

Synergy With Jiaoqiu

Relics

2-Pc Pioneer Diver Of Dead Waters and Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Unfortunately, the best relic sets for Jiaoqiu with the current availability in the game is a group of two different sets. Pioneer gives him some extra damage against debuffed enemies.

On the other hand, you can get some much-needed SPD on this unit with Messenger Traversing Hackerspace.

Prisoner in Deep Confinement

If you're using Jiaoqiu in a DoT-based team and would like him to deal as much damage as possible, you can try to opt for four pieces of this set to get some extra ATK and the ability to ignore the enemy's DEF.

Planar Ornaments

Sprightly Vonwacq

This ornament set not only increases Jiaoqiu's energy regeneration rate but also advances his actions forward at the start of the battle, allowing him to start stacking Ashen Roast quickly.

Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise

On the other hand, if you're having trouble building the right amount of Effect Hit Rate on him, you can try going for this set. However, Pan-Galactic can be a lot more problematic to farm.

Jiaoqiu Relic Stat Priority

Here are the main and sub-stats you should look for while trying to build Jiaoqiu's relics:

Type

Main Stat Priority

Sub Stat Priority

Head

HP

Effect Hit Rate > SPD > ATK Percent

Hands

ATK

Effect Hit Rate > SPD > ATK Percent

Body

Effect Hit Rate

SPD > ATK Percent

Feet

SPD

Effect Hit Rate > ATK Percent

Planar Sphere

Fire DMG Bonus > ATK Percent

Effect Hit Rate > SPD > ATK Percent

Link Rope

Energy Regeneration Rate

Effect Hit Rate > SPD > ATK Percent

Overall, you'd want at least a 140 percent Effect Hit Rate on Jiaoqiu to get the full buff from his bonus abilities.

However, you'd want to have a little more than that for endgame content like Memory of Chaos.

While Jiaoqiu might not have a lot of choices when it comes to his relics, he makes up for it with a wide variety of Light Cones:

Those Many Springs

Jiaoqiu's signature Light Cone is unsurprisingly the best for him as it not only gives him a huge Effect Hit Rate boost, but also increases the DMG taken by all enemies by a whopping 24 percent.

Incessant Rain

If you're planning to build a bit of Crit on Jiaoqiu to make use of the damage boost from his passives and abilities, you can go for this Light Cone to get a 12 percent buff as long as you can apply one more debuff outside of his abilities.

It's Showtime

Heading into the four-star choices, this Cone is your best choice for Jiaoqiu if you can build enough Effect Hit Rate since it increases his DMG dealt and further stacks the ATK bonus from his bonus abilities.

Good Night and Sleep Well

This is a simple Light Cone that you can increase on DoT-based Jiaoqiu to increase the Burn damage caused by his abilities.

Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat

If you're purely using Jiaoqiu as a debuffer for your main DPS like Acheron, this Light Cone serves a great purpose by reducing the enemy's DEF>

Before the Tutorial Mission Starts

Finally, if you're missing Effect Hit Rate on Jiaoqiu, this event-exclusive Light Cone is your best choice to get some. However, you can't get this Light Cone anymore if you don't already have it.

Jiaoqiu Traces Overview And Priority

Honkai: Star Rail - Best Builds and Light Cones For Jiaoqiu (4)

Whenever you pull a new character in Honkai: Star Rail, it's highly important to understand their kit and what they can bring to the battlefield, which is quite a lot of stuff when it comes to Jiaoqiu. Firstly, he can apply stacks of Ashen Roast in the following instances:

  • Whenever you use his Basic Attack, Skill, or Ultimate.
  • When the enemy gets a turn while the zone from his Ultimate is on the field.

This effect can stack up to five times, making the enemies take a whopping 35 percent increased DMG from all types of attacks. Moreover, when you hit the enemies with his Ultimate, they take even more Ultimate damage from other units. Finally, Jiaoqiu's Ashen Roast stacks on an enemy are considered a Burn DoT, which makes them take extra damage at the start of their turn.

Now that you know how his kit works, you can simply focus on his Talent first followed by his Ultimate. Finally, you can upgrade his Skill and completely ignore the Basic Attack since you'll never be using it. However, it's highly recommended to unlock his bonus abilities and other trace nodes whenever possible.
