Jiaoqiu’s kit in HSR
Jiaoqiu’s attacks can inflict enemies with “Ashen Roast,” a debuff that functions similarly to Burn. Stacking Ashen Roast increases the damage enemies take.
When Jiaoqiu unleashes his ultimate, the battlefield transforms into a giant hot pot, intensifying the Ashen Roast effect on afflicted enemies based on the number of stacks. This hot pot zone lingers for several turns, boosting enemy damage taken from ultimates, potentially applying further Ashen Roast stacks with enemy actions.
This strategic debuff system not only deals damage but also empowers teammates like Acheron to gain ultimate charges quicker, making them a valuable asset in combat.
