Jade Best Builds, Teams & Relics

Character Overview

Jade is an AoE-focused Quantum DPS character built around follow-up attacks. Her playstyle focuses on providing Debt Collector to an ally, increasing their SPD while also adding bonus Quantum damage to every attack they make. In exchange, the ally loses a small amount of HP with each attack, although the HP drain is generally not that noticeable.

What makes Jade unique is how she converts her allies' attacks into her own damage. Every enemy hit by either Jade or her Debt Collector grants Charge stacks, and once she reaches enough Charge, she automatically releases a powerful follow-up attack that hits every enemy on the field. The more enemies, the faster she cycles through these follow-ups.

She also scales throughout the fight due to Pawned Asset, a permanent self-buff that increases her CRIT DMG and ATK every time she performs one of her follow-up attacks. This means her damage increases naturally as the battle goes on.

Jade is heavily designed around AoE fights, making her a very strong Pure Fiction choice in the game. However, her performance drops in fights with fewer enemies, as she can't build Charge quickly. While she's easy to play, she's also limited because much of her damage depends on how often her teammates attack and how many enemies they hit.

Kit Overview

Jade's Skill designates an ally as her Debt Collector, increasing their SPD while allowing their attacks to deal additional Quantum damage based on Jade's ATK at the cost of a small amount of HP. She can also target herself, though she won't receive the SPD buff.

Her Talent is the main part of her kit, building Charge whenever she or her Debt Collector hits enemies. Once enough Charge is gained, Jade automatically launches an AoE follow-up attack while gaining permanent Pawned Asset stacks that increase her CRIT DMG and ATK as the battle continues.

Jade's Ultimate deals AoE damage and enhances her next two follow-up attacks, giving them a significant damage boost. Combined with her Bonus Abilities, which help her act early and ramp up faster, Jade does very well in fights with multiple enemies, where she can trigger follow-up attacks consistently.

Team Synergy

Jade performs best alongside allies that attack frequently and hit multiple enemies at once. Every enemy they hit helps Jade build Charge faster, which means more follow-up attacks and more overall damage. Her strongest partners are AoE-focused follow-up characters like Himeko and The Herta, as they constantly trigger Jade's Talent while benefiting from her Debt Collector buff. These teams can clear Pure Fiction effectively due to the constant follow-up attacks.

Jade also works quite well with Blade. Since Blade already wants to lose HP, Jade's Debt Collector effect helps accelerate his own follow-up attacks. Blade's frequent AoE follow-ups then generate Charge for Jade, creating a strong loop where they benefit from one another.

Jade can be considered one of the strongest Pure Fiction characters available, but her effectiveness falls in fights with fewer enemies unless she's paired with The Herta or has her first Eidolon, which greatly improves her consistency against fewer enemies.
