At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Jade
- “Vow of the Deep” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs, so Jade stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- Skill “Acquisition Surety” spends HP as a deliberate self-damage cost—the rotation wants controlled self-damage, not panic healing that cancels the state.
- Talent “Fang of Flare Flaying” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
- “Fang of Flare Flaying” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Jade below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
- E0 without “Yet Hope Is Priceless” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Erudition carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- HP-spend skills mean Jade can soft-lock if sustain is weak or if a healer tops them up at the wrong time and breaks a low-HP / Charge condition.
Qingque
- “A Quartet? Woo-hoo!” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so Qingque stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- Skill “A Scoop of Moon” pre-loads jade tiles toward the enhanced Basic—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Celestial Jade” pre-loads jade tiles toward the enhanced Basic—ignore it and Qingque plays like a worse generic Erudition unit.
- “A Scoop of Moon” wants stacks online before the big hit—interrupts, crowd control, or dying mid-ramp dump the stack count and reset the damage plan.
- Jade-tile RNG can brick a turn: without a matching suit, Qingque sits on a weaker Basic instead of the enhanced attack the traces assume.
- As a 4★ Erudition unit, Qingque is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
