Good Honkai Star Rail Jade version has plenty of options to choose from, including unlimited Cone of Light, and the IPC leader also works well with several popular characters. Jade works differently than most Erudite characters, relying more on her next attack than anything else, and her passive bonuses mean you don’t have to rely on specific substat rolls from your Relics.
Our Honkai Star Rail Jade build guide covers the best Light Cone and Relic options and includes recommendations from the Jade team.

However, hope is priceless is Jade’s signature Cone of Light, a five-star item that uses her critical damage as a way to power up her next attack. However, Hope Is Priceless increases the user’s critical hit rate by 16 percent, and for every 20 percentage points that his critical damage deal exceeds 120 percent, subsequent attack damage increases by 12 percent. The effect stacks up to four times, so it ends at 200 percent, and since Jade’s talent can give her an additional 120 percent critical damage, the reliance on good relic rolls is minimal. Most of Jade’s damage also comes from her next attack, although her good critical damage rate and bonus critical damage mean that her ultimate and base damage can also deal decent damage.
An easier option is 4-star Today is another tranquil dayalthough it requires unlocking the paid Battle Pass track and increasing it to level 30. This Cone of Light increases the wearer’s damage by 0.2 percent per point of their maximum energy. Jade is at 140, giving her a free 28% damage buff to all attack types.
Jing Yuan’s signature, Before dawnis a popular choice, though mainly due to the significant 48% buff to follow-up attacks. Jade doesn’t need additional critical damage unless she’s using her signature Cone of Light, which of course isn’t needed if you’re using this.
Another solid five-star choice is Himeko’s Night on the Milky Wayalthough Jade will have difficulty maintaining her buffs in Apocalyptic Shadow and Memory of Chaos. Increases the wearer’s attack by nine percent for each enemy present on the field, and stacks up to five times. Also increases the wearer’s attack by 30 percent for one turn when the enemy has a weakness broken.
A brilliant rest is another popular choice, thanks to its 16% attack boost, but its 24% critical damage boost depends on Jade regularly defeating enemies every few turns, similar to Breakfast Seriousness. Less popular, but still effective and effortless to maintain, is Little Herta’s Birth of Self, which increases follow-up damage by 24 percent, then again by an additional 24 percent if the target’s HP is below 50 percent.
Honkai Star Rail jade relics
Jade has several sets of Relics to choose from, with the most obvious choice being the follow-up attack set The Burning Grand Prince.
- Two-Part Effect: Increases the damage of your next attack by 20 percent
- Four Piece Effect: Each time the user uses another attack, their attack increases by six percent each time the attack deals damage, and the effect can stack eight times
Jade’s sequel targets every enemy on the battlefield, although the buff won’t be as forceful in single-target scenarios.
A less orthodox, but still very useful choice is the HSR 3.0 Relic Set Poet of Mourning The Fall.
- Two-Part Effect: Increases quantum damage by 10 percent
- Four Piece Effect: Reduces the wearer’s speed by six percent. If their speed before entering battle is less than 110/9 – this means that combat buffs do not count – their critical hit rate increases by 20/32 percent
Jade is well prepared for critical damage, but the additional critical hit rate means she will be able to operate these values more often.
Honkai Star Rail jade ornaments
Jade has several conditional sets of decorations to choose from, although the standard one is effortless to operate in any situation Indifferent salsotto.
- Increases critical hit rate by eight percent, and when it reaches 50 percent or higher, the user’s final and subsequent attacks deal 15 percent more damage.
If Jade is in a party with other Erudite characters – this is a good idea as they can cause her to continue more often – consider using Izumo Gensei set.
- Increases attack by 12 percent, and when another character in the party follows the same path as the wearer, the wearer’s critical hit rate is also increased by 12 percent
Pure Fiction Jade puts it to good operate Sygonia set, one of the few characters to do this
- Increases critical hit rate by four percent and the user’s critical damage increases by four percent for each enemy defeated, an effect that stacks up to 10 times
Honkai Star Rail Jade Statistics
Jade needs her critical hit rate and damage modifiers more than anything else, though a little extra critical damage in her partial stats wouldn’t hurt either. You want to focus mainly on her attack to boost her damage output and her critical hit rate to make the most of her naturally high critical damage.
Most guides don’t recommend energy regen for link rope, but since Jade’s ultimate increases her follow-up damage multiplier by 80 percent AND stacks twice, you’ll want to fire it up as often as possible, especially since energy regen never appears as a sub-stat.
- Body: Critical Hit Rate
- Feet: attack percentage
- Orb: Attack percentage or quantum damage
- Lina: Energy regeneration
Honkai Star Rail Jade Bands
Jade excels in the Pure Fiction teams, but she’s also great in other situations. As of HSR 3.0, Herta is one of her best allies, as a member of the Society of Geniuses can often aid Jade continue her actions. Jade can play a supporting or main role, depending on who the other members of your party are. For example:
Herta is the primary damage dealer and support target for Memory Trail, while Jade is just there to deliver follow-up attacks. However, if you do this:
- Herta
- Jade
- Robin
- Lingsha
You have a team focused more on Jade’s damage output. Robin buffs her next attack and everyone else’s critical damage, and Herta and Lingsha mean that Jade almost always uses her next attack, regardless of which one you operate Jade’s ability on.
However, he also works in less classic teams. Jade’s next attack makes her a good match for Feixiao, who needs further buffs to his kit.
Robin helps you get the most out of Jade and Feixiao, although you can also swap it out for the March 7 Moze or Hunt form. Jade helps activate Moze’s sequel, and on March 7, she helps make Feixiao even stronger.
Jade is also a great companion for Small Herta and Himeko, although outside of Pure Fiction we prefer Himeko because it’s easier to activate her sequel.
And for Jade F2P team you have the following option:
- Jade
- Little Herta
- Pioneer of memory
- Lynx
