Jiaoqiu's kit

Jiaoqiu is a 5-Star Fire character of The Nihility path who scales off attack and Effect Hit Rate. He deals AOE (area of effect) Fire damage, and can also lower the attack and Effect Hit Rate of enemies, along with increasing the Ultimate and Fire damage enemies receive.

All of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Traces.

Here's a summary of Jiaoqiu's kit in Honkai Star Rail:

  • Element: Fire.
  • Path: The Nihility.
  • Rarity: 5-Star.

  • Basic Attack: Heart Afire - Deals Fire damage equal to 50% of Jiaoqiu's attack to a single enemy.
  • Skill: Scorch Onslaught - Jiaoqiu deals Fire damage equal to 75% of his attack to a single enemy and Fire damage equal to 45% of his attack to enemies adjacent to them. Jiaoqiu has a 100% base chance to inflict one stack of Ashen Roast on the primary target.
  • Ultimate: Pyrograph Arcanum - Sets the number of Ashen Roast stacks on enemy targets to the highest number of Ashen Roast stacks present on the battlefield. Then, activates a Field and deals Fire damage equal to 60% of Jiaoqiu's attack to all enemies. While inside the field, enemy targets take 9% more Ultimate damage, with a 50% base chance of being inflicted with one stack of Ashen Roast when taking action. While the Zone exists, this effect can trigger up to six times, and this effect can only be triggered once for enemies in each turn. This trigger count resets every time Jiaoqiu uses his Ultimate. The Zone lasts for three turns, and its duration decreases by one at the start of Jiaoqiu's every turn. If Jiaoqiu is knocked down, the Field will also be dispelled.
  • Talent (passive ability): Octave Finery, Quartet Finesse - When Jiaoqiu uses his basic attack, Skill, or Ultimate, there is a 100% base chance of dealing one stack of Ashen Roast to them. At one stack, this increases the initial damage enemies receive by 7.5%, and each subsequent stack then increases damage by 2.5% for a max of five stacks, lasting last two turns. When an enemy target is afflicted with Ashen Roast, they are also considered as being Burned at the same time, taking Fire DOT equal to 90% of Jiaoqiu's attack at the start of each turn.
  • Technique (overworld ability): Fiery Queller - Jiaoqiu creates a special dimension that lasts for 15 seconds. After engaging enemies in the dimension, he deals Fire damage equal to 100% of his attack to all enemies and has a 100% base chance of applying one Ashen Roast stack. Only one dimension created by allies can exist at the same time.
  • Bonus Trace 1: Pyre Cleanse - At the start of the battle, Jiaoqiu immediately regenerates 15 Energy.
  • Bonus Trace 2: Hearth Kindle - For every 15% of Jiaoqiu's Effect Hit Rate that exceeds 80%, his attack increases by an additional 60%, up to 240%.
  • Bonus Trace 3: Seared Scent - When the Zone exists, enemies entering combat will be inflicted with Ashen Roast. The number of stacks applied will match the highest number of Ashen Roast stacks possessed by any unit while the Zone is active, with a minimum of one stack.
