Update: The DMG vulnerability seems to work for all types of damage, including break damage. FAQ: How much Vulnerability does Jiaoqiu LC's Cornered state apply? When applying Cornered, Unarmored will be removed. However, the vulnerability of Cornered is the sum of the two numbers (28% to 48%) When the target has Cornered, Unarmored won't be applied Source: #HomDGCat #HSR
He needs something more unique in his kit to have enough appeal for using over an e6 4* unit we already have built (healing or DOT). I hope they recognize that.
Thank you for the informative video! This has really helped me understand how he works! Acheron who though? I will be playing him with hypercarry Ratio hehe.
I'm gonna be completly honest, Jiaoqiu looks extremely disappointing at the moment and, outside of Acheron and maybe Argenti, I don't see anyone who would rather use him over any of the other busted Harmony units. Also, Hoyo making Jiaoqiu a damage dealer, but then locking most of his damage behind e2 is the biggest clown move I've ever seen. Hope he receives big changes during beta.
@@noelrakman9641i was really looking forward to using him outside of debuffing but his dot dmg is literally on E2, i am not pulling for a debuff/buff only unit.
@@Niiidil so what should they add to his kit? E2 into traces? Def shred? Healing? Maybe add a super DoT while we're at it. Im pulling him even if this kit stays the same on his launch
@@noelrakman9641 yes his e2 should be on his kit, this has happened many times where the character’s eidolons became their kit, a good example is robin.
Honestly he's pretty good, and with the DMG/Ult DMG vuln, he won't overcap def and can be comfortably used WITH Pela/Silverwolf. Adding his own personal dmg (and any further buffs they can make with this and copium Eidolon changes like dot lol) and stacks for Acheron or any future character, he is ABSOLUTELY cooking (pun intended)
Something I don’t understand is that in his traces he gains a lot of attack from effect hit rate but he basically only debuffs before e2 .. the DoT should definitely be a part of his base kit .. they can change the e2 to be like 6% def shred for every stack of his debuff maxing at 30% 🤷🏽♂️
I don't have Acheron, and i don't see how i can fit him on my teams...I could just replace Pela for him, but I only use Pela with Jingliu...but he might just be small improvement compared to Pela...
Hey Razor-ct,Since I wasnt able to get Boothill's LC should I get Ruan Mei's LC or save the guarantee for Jiaoqiu's LC.And If Im going for Jiaoqiu's LC should I grab Jade for pf,Ruan Mei E1 for Boothill or Firefly(since I dont have a fire dps).Anyone can feel free to answer me with their opinions too tho 😁
E2 needs to base, healing needs to be brought back with decent scaling, and that ehr debuff needs to be spd reduction or weakness break or res pen or def shred. Literally anything would be better then freaking ehr down.
Yeah, so pissed off, it's as if they're intentionally making him bad. Plus i can think of no team that he can be good in... Poor Jiao, he deserves better
Dumb take. The healing in his old kit was never enough to solo sustain in the first place. He already looks cracked with this kit. Just based on the info in the vid, he can probably generate stacks for Archeron so quickly that you can run Archeron + Jiaoqiu + Pela + Fu Xuan and still get a 2-turn ult, which is why there is no need to remove a sustain. However, it would indeed be better if they didn't lock DOT behind his E2 since they're already focusing so much on ATK.
Oh ffs I'm SICK of hearing about Acheron. What about players who don't have her, or new players? Is he going to be useaful IN HIMSELF, without depending on other owerpowered fives stars? That's what I want to know, but all the youtuber are blabbering the same Acheron, Acheron, Acheron.
No vulnerability does increase super break dmg. I tried a super break team with and without welt. Welt gives 12% dmg vulnerability in his ult. In the end the team with welt does 12% more super break dmg than the one without welt. So u can use him with Sam.
This unit good for acheron only in PF. Over all he is small buff and i guss its better to go for firefly since its morelikely that acheron wont get stronger much but firefly can stonk when she will get 5 star superbreak support
I think it's just poor wording and will be changed lately. What's supposed to mean is that it increases damage by that %, but then the following stacks increase it by less than the first stack. Alternatively, it may mean it's only direct damage taken and not dot damage
It is the same as Acheron’s “The Abyss” passive which increases the Initial Damage (In-Game, it’s called Original Damage) you deal by 60% with 2 nihility characters at e0 basically, if you originally deal 100k dmg, with 30% Initial DMG bonus you will instead deal 130k dmg.
Problem is Jiaoqiu was supposed to fill that roll. Since they took out his healing since it was underwhelming, instead of buffing it to be useful. That and ehr down debuff is just stupid useless.
I also confuse. I look at his kits. It is dmg, effect hit rates, atk, reduce all type res, fire dot. So, where is the heal? Is he heal himself or what? 😐
For nihility and DoT teams, I think Jiaoqiu excellent to get. For heals, I still think Gallagher is better to add. But I agree. I had no idea for other teams.
@@Violet70725Naw DoT teams don’t get the ult buff. Without s1 he’s looking slightly better than Guin (35 vs 32 vuln buff), and considering Kafka resolved Guin’s slow application he faster stacking isn’t much of a benefit either. He won’t be removing RM or Robin. I haven’t done calcs, but he might take the place of a double harmony. So sparkles + JQ for hypercarry or smth like that.
I don't like his design so I am skipping. My E2/S1 Acheron feels like I am already cheating any content in HSR. With Sparkle E0/S1, Pela E6 with Luka's LC and Gepard E1 with the Trend LC. I can almost ULT every other turn because of this build.
Thing is, Jiaoqius debuff works like trends, but is 100% guaranteed since it doesn't require anyone to be hit. Sucks because the rest of his kit is just so fucking meh.

FAQ: How much Vulnerability does Jiaoqiu LC's Cornered state apply?
When applying Cornered, Unarmored will be removed. However, the vulnerability of Cornered is the sum of the two numbers (28% to 48%)
When the target has Cornered, Unarmored won't be applied

That LC is insane. Feels like two diff characters tbh.
Lc or e1
He needs something more unique in his kit to have enough appeal for using over an e6 4* unit we already have built (healing or DOT). I hope they recognize that.
Thank you for the informative video! This has really helped me understand how he works! Acheron who though? I will be playing him with hypercarry Ratio hehe.
ratio doesnt deal damage with untimate
The lightcone debuff escalates from the unarmored to cornered --> unarmored gets replaced with cornered --> 35+18=53% dmg vuln at max stacks e0s1
Yes Cornered replaces Unarmored, but Cornered is combining the two effect for a total of 28% vuln
@@th3docta401 I don't think so no, but we'll see in a few hours when the leakers decide to stop blue balling us
@@th3docta401do you have any vids of this? I could have sworn the max is only 18
Nvm: missed the change. His LC is basically a must pull.
I'll wait for beta changes and then make a decision
same, i can only use him as achreon support I was looking forward to use him with ratio and Kafka T_T
@@RoyalBlue-ge2oj yeah that e2 bait is crazy💀💀
@@niigolover fre fr i hope they fix him T_T
@@RoyalBlue-ge2oj Agree. Hope they move the DoT to his base kit and add DEF Shred to his signature cone.

I don’t get why people are so obsessed with DoT when that is not his primary function. If you want a DoT character wait for other patches, simple.

Very informative and well explained video. Looking forward to how his kit will change in beta

Seems more a dedicated Acheron unit than the universal support character
I don't have Acheron, and i don't see how i can fit him on my teams...I could just replace Pela for him, but I only use Pela with Jingliu...but he might just be small improvement compared to Pela...
it is a 6% improvement from what I've read, it's not worth it, I might skip since I don't rock archeron
Feixiao is coming up. She is rumoured to get similar kits as Acheron. So just wait for more infos.
Cant wait for Jiaoqiu build guide!! I already got some ideas from your vid tho 🫡🌝 thanks for the vid!
is E2 also good for Acheron team or just E0 ? Im gonna do Acheron, Pela, Aventurine E2S1(so im already have reduces the target's All-Type RES by 12%)
e2 is only good for dot teams, so e0 is more than enough for acheron
Hey Razor-ct,Since I wasnt able to get Boothill's LC should I get Ruan Mei's LC or save the guarantee for Jiaoqiu's LC.And If Im going for Jiaoqiu's LC should I grab Jade for pf,Ruan Mei E1 for Boothill or Firefly(since I dont have a fire dps).Anyone can feel free to answer me with their opinions too tho 😁

Not impressed with his kit. No healing to replace a sustain in Acheron team, and locking dot behind e2.

What happened to the healing ??? Also will he be a better support at E0S0 for DOT than Ruan Mei ?
Hey Razor, does it mean that his talent will trigger stacks for Black Swan arcana only if I get him E2?

Now acheron just needs a support that is tailored to debuffing. Gallagher was a bait and went to cheat with break teams

He's aventurine height
@@voii0777 massive! huge news omg he is a must pull now!!
Okay, so no healing. Sadge 😢
Does his vuln from LC stack with Aventurine's LC?
Only really effects my Acheron team tbh, but I'm probably gonna E2, he seems way more fun in DoT...
His leaked kit last year was way better than this. I really wanted to pull for him but after the chamge id rather skip
I thought every E1 and S1 from nihility characters was good until I saw Jq
Tbh i don't really care about hid kit "nerf"...he's still super strong and very flexible...and i'm sure they will change his kit anyway
I have E2S1 Raiden, and E2S1 Aventurine. Think I’ll get this dude E0S1, use him and Pela/BS and let Raiden go HAM!! 👹
To benefit for acheron e2 use one nihility (jiaoqui) with a harmony character like sparkle
if he has a heal I might pull for him but...
Really massive boost for Acheron and fairly mid for everyone else. Basically what I was expecting tbh

Which Profile Picture are you talking about specifically? The one I have on twitch?
I just use sampo
I enjoyed more the leaks that said he would heal and debuff. Full L this kit, not very fun for me personally
