Honkai: Star Rail has revealed Jade's complete fighting kit ahead of her debut in the second half of Version 2.3. Jade is a 5-star Quantum-type character following the path of Erudition. She is a senior manager in the IPC Strategic Investment Department, one of the main factions in the Honkai: Star Rail universe.
Jade was first introduced in Version 2.1 in a flashback from Aventurine's past during the Penacony main quest. Since then, it has been confirmed that Jade is a member of the Ten Stonehearts, an elite team of IPC executives under the leadership of the mysterious character Diamond. Jade is also known as Lady Bonajade and often works with fellow Stonehearts members Aventurine and Topaz. After a long wait, Jade's first banner is scheduled to drop on July 10 with Honkai: Star Rail's Version 2.3 Second Phase.
Why Now is a Good Time to Start Playing Honkai: Star Rail
Honkai: Star Rail was a hit since launch, but the recent patches have made it one of the better gacha games in recent months.
Honkai: Star Rail has revealed Jade's complete kit via the game's official YouTube channel. Jade is a Quantum 5-star from the path of Erudition, meaning she can deal a great amount of multi-target damage. Jade's most useful ability is her skill "Acquisition Surety," which increases another character's speed and designates them as the "Debt Collector." When the Debt Collector performs an attack, Jade deals additional damage to the enemies affected.
To make the most out of Jade's talent, players should pair her with another Erudition character, as she performs a follow-up attack when the Debt Collector attacks enough enemies. Jade's banner is only a few days away, but her kit may quickly make her one of Honkai: Star Rail's best Erudition characters.
Honkai: Star Rail Jade's Kit Explained
- Basic Attack: Lash of Riches - Applies quantum DMG to a single enemy and units adjacent to it.
- Skill: Acquisition Surety - Designated a team ally as the Debt Collector, increasing their SPD for a set amount of turns. When the Debt Collector performs an attack, Jade will inflict additional DMG one time on the enemies. However, the Debt Collector will lose an amount of HP when attacking. If Jade is the Debt Collector, she won't lose HP but won't increase SPD either.
- Ultimate: Vow of the Deep - Jade deals quantum DMG on all enemies and enhances her follow-up attack's DMG.
- Talent: Fang of Flare Flying - For each enemy hit by Jade or the Debt Collector, Jade stacks one point of Charge. When Charge reaches a certain number of stacks, Jade consumes them to perform a follow-up attack of quantum DMG on all enemies. When the follow-up attack occurs, Jade gains stacks of Pawned Asset and each stack increases her CRIT DMG.
- Trace: Reverse Repo - After unlocking this trace, Jade earns Pawned Asset stacks every time enemies enter combat or the Debt Collector's turn begins.
- Technique: Visionary Predation - Jade inflicts enemies around her with Blind Fealty, which prevents enemies from initiating combat. When the team enters battle under this state, Jade immediately inflicts quantum DMG on all enemies and stacks Pawned Asset.
Players who wish to pull for Jade must wait for Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming banners, which feature her along with Argenti's first rerun. The banners will also boost drop rates for the 4-star characters Asta, Serval, and Natasha.
Version 2.3 marked the end of the Penacony storyline. For its next update, Honkai: Star Rail is revisiting the Xianzhou Luofu, with a new adventure awaiting the Trailblazers. Version 2.4 will also introduce two new 5-star characters, Jiaoqiu and Yunli, as well as March 7th's special Imaginary variant.
