Light Cone
Yet Hope Is PricelessCRIT Rate, follow-up damage and DEF ignore fill stats that Jade's Pawned Asset stacks do not already oversupply.
When to use it : Use Jade's Basic before the enhanced follow-up sequence so both Ultimate and follow-up retain the cone's DEF ignore.
The Day The Cosmos FellIt grants ATK and CRIT DMG when sufficient enemies share its required weakness, fitting Jade's multi-target content.
This four-star cone is purchased and superimposed through the Forgotten Hall shop.
When to use it : Use it when enough enemies share the appropriate weakness to activate its CRIT DMG bonus.
Eternal CalculusIts ATK baseline and wave scaling provide a free Erudition option.
This five-star cone is bought and superimposed in Herta's Store.
When to use it : Use it in multi-target waves where repeated attacks activate its effects.
The Seriousness of BreakfastIts DMG and kill-stacking ATK fit dense multi-wave content.
Relics
Jade's 50% opening advance and Debt Collector partner let her accept the speed loss for an exceptional CRIT Rate return.
When to use it : Keep Jade below 95 SPD before battle to receive Poet's full 32% CRIT Rate; do not add accidental SPD substats.
Genius is useful when the target is Quantum-weak.
When to use it : Use against Quantum-weak enemies.
Grand Duke remains a follow-up alternative in multi-target content.
Planar Ornaments
Follow-up damage and capped Merit CRIT DMG reinforce the Talent while leaving body and substats free for CRIT Rate.
When to use it : Use a team with frequent allied follow-ups so Duran reaches five Merit stacks before Jade's enhanced Talent attacks.
Rutilant is a CRIT-gated alternative for Basic and Skill damage.
When to use it : Reach 70% CRIT Rate.
Sigonia trades follow-up-specific scaling for a kill-based ramp that is powerful only in dense wave content.
When to use it : Use only in waves with enough repeatable kills to build and retain Sigonia's ten CRIT DMG stacks.
Team lineup
The Herta supplies frequent AoE hits, Tribbie buffs both Erudition damage dealers, and Lingsha sustains while adding more all-enemy attacks.
When to use it : Make The Herta the Debt Collector and keep multi-target attacks flowing so every enemy hit contributes one Jade Charge.

Trace priority
- Talent
- Ultimate
- Skill
- Basic ATK
Jade marks a fast multi-target ally as Debt Collector, gains one Charge per enemy they hit and launches an all-enemy follow-up every eight Charges.
How to play it
- 1Use Acquisition Surety on the fastest frequent AoE attacker at the start of battle and whenever its three-turn duration expires.
- 2Basic attack while Debt Collector is active to generate Skill Points and contribute more enemy hits.
- 3Use Vow of the Deep before the next two Talent follow-ups so both receive the enhanced multiplier.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
Prydwen and Mobalytics independently agree on a slow CRIT build, an AoE Debt Collector and Duran. The comparison uses Prydwen's explicit three-target calculation baseline: one Charge per enemy hit, eight Charges per Talent follow-up, and the follow-up itself generates no Charge. Pawned Asset's free CRIT DMG is excluded from the sheet target. The 3.0 baseline was reconciled against the immutable 4.0–4.4 compare and exact 4.4 IDs.

Independent fan recommendations based on released data. The reviewed damage profile assumes three targets; fewer targets generate Charges more slowly and materially reduce Jade's follow-up frequency at E0.
