How to Play Jade

Quantum Erudition guide for Jade: rotation, strengths, and investment tips for Sub-DPS players.

Last updated:

Overview

Jade is a 5★ Quantum Erudition from Penacony, playing Sub-DPS in most teams. Quantum Erudition DPS who shares follow-up attack buffs with allies.

How to Play

Jade clears waves through AoE. Spread debuffs or Breaks across all targets, then detonate with Skill and Ultimate on the largest cluster. Set up marks or debuffs so follow-up attacks fire consistently each turn.

Optimal Rotation

Turn 1: Jade Ultimate on the full wave → Skill on the largest cluster → Basic Attacks until Ultimate returns. In MoC, Break side targets first so AoE passives trigger.

Strengths

Jade excels in Quantum Erudition teams from Penacony. Flexible off-field value that frees Skill Points for your Main DPS. Signature Light Cone and endgame relics unlock their full ceiling.

Weaknesses

Jade is weaker on pure single-target boss floors unless adds spawn mid-fight. Bosses with no waves reduce AoE value.

Investment Priority

E0 Jade clears story and Simulated Universe. For Memory of Chaos, level talents to at least 6/8/8, farm recommended relics from their build page, and hit Speed breakpoints with SPD boots. Pull or craft a matching-path 5★ cone if they are a long-term main; otherwise use the best F2P path option at S5.
