I worked too long tuning up relics to Jiaoqiu, and this is what I got to know the hard way: this man has a strange build. He is not any of the commonplace support characters whose slap the speed boots on and they are good to go.
Jiaoqiu has a best build in Honkai Star Rail 3.2, which requires special statistics or he is an absolute burden on your team.

What Makes Jiaoqiu Different
The gimmick here is that all the kit of Jiaoqiu is based on his Ashen Roast debuff. It accumulates five times, triples enemy vulnerability by 35% and strikes Fire DoT at 90s of his ATK. His Ultimate forms such Domain zone in which enemies essentially give your Acheron a stack of free damage simply by taking their turn.
First I along with the Acheron team tested him, and there was night and day in the difference. I would find it difficult to spam the Ultimate of Acheron before Jiaoqiu. With him? She is dropping her nuke nearly with each turn.
The Stat Priority You Actually Need
It is here that the greater guides turn in the wrong direction, and I shall not be in serious trouble. The optimal build in Honkai Star Rail 3.2 according to Jiaoqiu is as follows: First, focus on the following stats in the following order:
Effects Hit Rate 140% minimum (180% with his signature light cone). Otherwise, your debuffs will not hit and Jiaoqiu is your uselessness. I found out this when half my stacks do not work in Memory of Chaos.
Speed: Faster than your DPS. Before your damage dealer gets to go you should use Ashen Roast. I use mine at 145 speed, and it has been good in most of the team comps.
ATK%: 60 to 180 percent depending on whether you are making him with pure support in focus or leaning towards DoT damage. In case of Acheron teams, it is not necessary to devote a lot of attention to ATK. In the case of DoT teams using Kafka, pile the stack as long as you can beyond your Effect Hit Rate point.
Relics That Actually Work
I have experimented on several combinations, the following one works:
In the case of Acheron Teams: 2-piece Messenger Driving Hackerspace + 2-piece Pioneer Diver Dead Waters. Speed boost assists you in keeping the order in the turns and the damaging amp with the debuffed opponent is hot.
To DoT Teams: Jiaoqiu, Be a Damage Dealer with the Help of 4-piece Prisoner in Deep Confinement. Ashen Roast also belongs to Fire DoT since this set increases the support one and his personal damage.
Planar Ornaments: Sprightly Vonwacq is your default the 40% action progress right at the beginning of the battle allows you to place debuffs as soon as possible. In case you are running DoT teams, Effect Hit Rate scales your ATK in Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise, which is ideal because then you are already scaling it.
Light Cone Choices (Realistic Choices)
Obviously best-in-slot is Those Many Springs (his signature 5-star). It provides 60% Effect Hit rate and provides an additional debuff. When you do, then you have your stat distribution all the easier.
Don’t have it? Join the club. Here’s what I use:
- Incessant Rain (the light cone of Silver Wolf) is wonderful when you are lying around.
- Solitary Healing (free 5-star by events) is pretty solid material by Pure Fiction standards.
- Budget builds (the Eyes of the Prey 4-star) are balanced in Effect Hit Rate and DoT damage.
I am running Eyes of the Prey on mine, and, to tell the truth? It gets the job done.
Making Sense of Team Compositions.
Jiaoqiu is a very versatile character, which can be built in the best way depending on your team:
This is his trademark role with Acheron. Make him a Harmony support that is Sparkle, a sustain character that is Aventurine and a pair him with Acheron. Jiaoqiu uses debuffs, Acheron spams her Ultimate and you clear content at an absurd rate.
DoT Teams: Fall him with Kafka, Black Swan and Huohuo. The combination of the three of you piles so much DoT effects in such a way that the enemies melt. I cleared this cycle of Memory of Chaos using this very team.
General AoE Teams: He plays with any AoE DPS such as Serval or Argenti. The vulnerability increase is advantageous to all types of damages and not to Fire only.
Is He Worth Building?
My personal opinion is this: with Acheron, it is hard to imagine without Jiaoqiu. He fixes her greatest weakness energy generation and makes her an absolute monster.
If you don’t have Acheron? He remains firm with DoT teams, yet other assists may provide more flexibility. Probably I would save up to another DPS until you make up your mind about constructing Kafka teams.
The most significant task is the stat requirements. A Hit rate of 140% and Good Speed and ATK is that of weeks of relics farming. However, reaching the mentioned thresholds, Jiaoqiu with the best build in Honkai Star Rail 3.2 would become one of the most effective supports in the game.
And the rerun time of Version 3.2 with Acheron is not accidental-the developers are aware of the fact that the two are programmed to suit one another.
