| Character Details | A foxian healer and counselor from the Xianzhou Yaoqing. Often greets people with a smile on his face and a scheme in his heart. Born into a prestigious Alchemy Commission family, he once withdrew from practicing medicine due to a broken heart. However, he returned to the field to treat "the Merlin's Claw," General Feixiao. Skilled in the study of alchemical prescription that views food as medicine, especially those that induce a sensation of spiciness. He invented a cauldron-based medicinal formula known as the "nine-squared grid." |
| Character Story: Part I | Rainsoar Lake, the Yaoqing. In the misty rain, yellow floating heart foliage and blossoms decorated the lake as frolicking fishes leaped out of the water from time to time. This lakeside abounds with lotuses and water chestnuts, and old turtles basking on the pebbles were an everyday sight. A foxian youth with a basket for storing harvested ingredients on his back rowed a small boat, raindrops running down his ear before being lightly flicked away. As he scooped up floating heart plants and picked out lotus flowers, he peeled open wild rice stems and threw them casually into his mouth. "So sweet and refreshing, it delights the palate...." After harvesting the plants, he steered the boat to shore and crossed the lakeside with graceful ease before changing into the attire of a healer. ... Inside the apothecary, misty steam hung in the air as tantalizing aromas filled the premises. "Your pulse has become more stable since you last visited, but you should still work on getting more rest and nourishing your body. Care to try one of my new medicines?" With a smile, he put away the wrist cushion and golden needles, bringing out a whole new set of medical tools. As the elderly man gazed at the nine-squared cauldron in front of him, he couldn't help but break into a wry smile. "Others can hardly even invent a few decent medicines in their lifetimes, yet a single day is all you need to achieve that and more." "You flatter me, Master. This cauldron-based medicinal formula is called the 'nine-squared grid.' Not only is it simple to make, but its effects are also wondrous." The youth poured out the ingredients from his basket, cleaning them quickly before slicing them. As he did, the stock inside the cauldron began to bubble and boil. "A tael of euphorbia, three mace of bitterwood, and four cash of desert cistanche... Boil with big bones, then pair with deep sea shellfish to dispel the bitter flavor. The concoction can aid one in achieving peaceful slumber." "As for the white loach and threadfin snapper, their constitution-warming properties are great for nourishing the qi and blood. We need only dip the slices in boiling water for two to three seconds." "These green mushrooms, silver needle tea leaves, and snow lotus roots were all carefully cultivated with decoction dregs by me at Rainsoar Lake. Not only are they tasty and refreshing, but they also offer medicinal benefits." As glistening fish slices met boiling soup, both master and disciple enjoyed a delicious meal that quickly made them forget about the damp coldness of a rainy day. In the aftermath of the meal, the older man put down his chopsticks, seemingly having realized something. "This meal that I've just had, the 'nine-squared grid'... It seems there is more you wish to tell me with this meal than what I'd thought." The youth stood up and solemnly bowed. "Master, you are perceptive indeed. I have long since made up my mind about whether to join the Alchemy Commission." "While the Alchemy Commission is a good place to be, it is ultimately not compatible with my wish to practice medicine for the masses. The one place that requires a healer the most is undeniably the battlefield where the Yaoqing's forces are." "Among the many schools of healers, only practitioners of the Ranzhi School — such as you and me — place emphasis on the tenet of 'food is medicine,' using the joy of food to alleviate the pain of ailments... The 'nine-squared grid,' with its convenience and effectiveness in dispelling the cold that ails one's constitution, was specially made by me to provide succor to those on the battlefield." "For those who yet breathe, there is nothing more important than the preservation of life. If I could deliver the people from pain and suffering with a mere medicinal formula, the Alchemy Commission's time and effort spent in grooming my talents would be well-spent indeed." The elder looked as though he wanted to talk the youth out of his decision, but he ultimately decided against it. "The battlefield is a bitterly cold place... Don't forget to bring more foods that warm the constitution ere you depart." * Unlocked at Character Level |
| Character Story: Part II | The Yaoqing's troops perennially fought on outer planets. He continued to improve the cauldron-based medicinal formula in a multitude of ways so that he could adapt it to the increasingly challenging, complex, and unpredictable environments that the soldiers must brave. The unusual yet profoundly effective formulation his medicine came in soon made his name a common utterance across the forces of the Yaoqing, winning him the trust of officers and soldiers alike. Such achievements nevertheless failed to assuage his heavy heart. Every day, when the bugle call for departure sounded, he knew the wounded that he had nursed back to health would have to step onto the battlefield once more. Every day, when he heard the footsteps of returning troops, he knew he would be missing a few more familiar faces among those that gathered around his cauldron. Just recently, even the soldier who always returned to camp yelling about wanting to eat from the cauldron had departed this world for good. He finished up the day's consultation and left the field hospital, letting out a long sigh. The cold did not bother him in the slightest, even with the snow flurries pelting at him. When the bugle call sounded yet again, the army was equipped and ready to depart. The field hospital will soon be burdened with grievously wounded soldiers like before. Yes, he has the skills to bring the wounded back from the gates of hell, but these young lives still end up lost in the endless, ravenous war. Every night, he would always talk with General Yueyu. This day, however, he was uncharacteristically silent for a long time. "Recently, I have been thinking... If the patients that I nurse to health are destined to hurtle toward death once more, what is my purpose as a healer?" A dull cry sounded from the direction of the wards. It was only after blinking several times that he realized both his eyes had gone dry, probably since some time ago... So dry that he no longer had tears to shed. * Unlocked at Character Level |
| Character Story: Part III | It was time once again for the army to move out. However, grisly bodies of the dead, the perpetually high death rate, ongoing blasts of artillery fire, and a monstrous creature that appeared in the air were all portents that heralded a devastating war unlike anything that had ever occurred before. Until one day, when the towering Cloudpeer Telescope that bore the wills of the trillions of living beings aboard the Xianzhou finally received a response from THEM. A searing blast appeared out of nowhere, obliterating the weak Abominations of Abundance into a miasma of blood. A light so blindingly bright that tore the sky asunder. Even mountains and hills that the light reached turned into dust. He saw the Abominations of Abundance and members of the Xianzhou Legion that were slow to retreat crumble to dust. He heard about how the girl always by General Yueyu's side weaved in and out of the annihilated enemy ranks, attempting to bring the remaining soldiers back with her. Before the wave of light could reach them, he dashed in with every last ounce of his strength to save that young lady before losing his consciousness in the afterglow of the obliterating light. ... Tattered banners thrashed in the wind as the few remaining survivors gathered around the bonfire in silence. Clank, clank, clank... A strong gust of wind swept across, rolling a battered cauldron along the barren ground. His body should have long acclimated to the frigid cold climate given the time he had been stationed on this planet. But he had never felt this cold before. He was cold from the inside out. In a seasoned manner, he picked up the iron receptacle, filled it with water, and brought it to a boil before throwing in scraps of leftover ingredients. "It's still so cold..." The survivors ate their food in silence. "Maybe I should add some spice." With that, he retrieved the medicine pouch that he always carried with him. "Not spicy enough." He added more chili peppers to the mix. "Not there yet." He emptied every spice he had on him into the cauldron. "That's it." As oil from the chili bubbled, he used chopsticks to pick up a wild vegetable from the cauldron to taste. When his already numbed sense of taste finally picked up on the spice, it was the first time that he felt so strongly, so utterly alive. It was a sensation that bordered on pain. * Unlocked at Character Level |
| Character Story: Part IV | Rainsoar Lake, the Yaoqing. In the misty rain, yellow floating heart foliage and blossoms decorated the lake as frolicking fishes leaped out of the water from time to time. This lakeside abounds with lotuses and water chestnuts, and old turtles basking on the pebbles were an everyday sight. With a herb basket on his back, he rowed a small boat out into the middle of the lake as the falling rain slid down the back of his ear, soaking his clothing wet. Scooping up floating heart plants, picking out lotus flowers, and peeling open wild rice shoots, sending them all into his mouth to taste. "Ugh, too bland..." He shook his head. "Mister, there's an elderly man looking for you over at the restaurant. He claimed to be an old friend of yours..." A disciple called out from the other side of the lake, to which he sighed and rowed his boat back to shore. He is of course aware of the visitor's intentions, but he had long grown weary of resuming his old profession as a healer. "Master, are you here today to try out the dishes cooked with Rainsoar Eatery's cauldron? I must warn you, though: We only serve very spicy and insanely spicy food here." The elderly man sighed from his seat at the table. "I remember you preferred bland food before joining the army." As he readied the cauldron, a glimmer of nostalgia flashed across his eyes. "People... tend to change." The elder picked up a slice of threadfin snapper, scalding it in the bubbling red broth. "I should try it then. But know that I did not come for that. Do you still remember the girl you saved?" "Feixiao, that's her name. The girl that followed the former general everywhere. She has since assumed the role of General of the Yaoqing and now requires a healer by her side. There's no one more suitable for that position than you." He smiled wryly, for some reason recalling the sharp pain he felt on his tongue that fateful day. "Those I saved only ended up as another dead soul when they dived head-in back into the battlefield. I prefer to no longer engage in such futile efforts." The elder placed his chopsticks down and shook his head. "You misunderstand me. This time, I'm not here to persuade you to heal the masses in this world. I'm here because I want this general ... to heal your despondent heart." "She will tell you... what the true purpose of a healer is." * Unlocked at Character Level |

say I noticed something abt his kit, his ult says inflict ashen roast on enemy when taking action so is it just me or does the debuff occur after the enemy turn ends. if so wouldn’t having bs on team give 1 debuff due to burn dot at start of enemy turn? does that make it 2 debuffs on enemy giving acheron 2 stacks per enemy turn? plz clarify.
Only 1 per turn.
What if I made a team with Gallagher, Guinaifen, Jiaoqiu, and Hook? Triple burn playstyle?
Guinaifen and Jiaoqiu actually work well together, but hook is mid. Consider replacing hook with asta on planetary rendezvous and sets that increase fire dmg
Jiaoqiu has any value with Firefly?
no, Ruan Mei is way better.
Nope.
It is said that Lingsha’s going to be a 5-star Gallagher. We will know in 3 days.
The ult damage boost is entirely lost because firefly doesn’t deal damage in her ultimate. Although, Jiaoqiu will get quite a bit of toughness DMG on the enemy because of fire implant. Don’t pull for him unless you also have acheron or want acheron in the future. Even ult-heavy characters like argenti would benefit much more from sparkle/tingyun so only pull for acheron.
kind of, the ashen roast stacks. at max stacks he buffs 35% damage vulnerability for firefly’s super break. damage buffs don’t affect break damage but vulnerability does. so yes, but the 15% ult damage buff is pointless on hed
This page has become extremely tiring….of course he could’ve way been better, but the community took things way out of proportion and i feel like it’s a ”Childe needs his c6” type of thing. Even hoyolab (who’s always late for everything) just repeats the same narrative, but of course anything you say is ‘cope and being a hoyo defender’
Jiaoqiu is a great character. Just because he isn’t incredibly broken doesn’t mean he’s bad. His synergy with acheron is even better than black swan and guinaifen and I’m gonna pull.
Most of it comes from his E0 being barely better than Pela or Guinaifen in their respective fields. But ofc, he is actually a combo of the two and is even a little better at both. We are so use now to 5* just completely blowing everything else out of the water. So when one comes along that seems to do 2 jobs in 1 but is only slightly better at each of those jobs than alr widely used chars, people will ofc look at them as a failure. Esp when the latter of the two isn’t used herself and RM is used instead a lot of the time.
The thing about his Eidolons/LC is that they are extremely OP. They completely change his value from being just better than a half fusion of Pela and Guinaifen to being better than both put together on the same team at E1/S1 and beating Acherons next best Nahility by 50% max team damage which is a LOT. Bring E2 in as well and he’s completely nuts for DoT beating RM as well by over 50% max team damage. When i say 50% I mean 50%. Kafka goes from dealing 250k ult damage to 375k ult damage. Making her pretty much a buffed Jingliu all on her own never mind the other DoT damage going off. BS is next patch i’ve heard, i skipped out on a DoT team since i was saving for mono quantum which tbh i kinda regret (Until the next Quantum carri DPS comes out.) but since i am getting him for Acheron i’m feeling like building one.
yeah, jiaoqiu isnt bad, just disappointing.
and when he requires e1/s1 to perform significantly better than the 4* alternatives, at that point his pull value for general teams is like topaz’s pull value for ratio teams
his one saving grace is that unlike topaz, his e0s0 is a meaningful damage increase over alternatives for exactly 1 team in the game (acheron hypercarry if it wasnt obvious)
If you don’t enjoy playing the mono Quantum comp then just reassign your Sparkle into Acheron’s team and you won’t regret it. She’s much greater than Bronya for her damage increment, buff uptime, and the fact that she’s SP positive. Sparkle is also unconditional 3 turn ult with no need for additional energy gain from the light cone or teammates meaning she may wield S5 DDD. Since you have Sparkle I suppose you have Dr.Ratio at least, reassign your SW with Dr.Ratio and give him TY and it won’t be bad.
The issue is i’d have no other team atm. Maybe March BE team can pull me through on the other side then i might after i get Jiaoqiu.
I plan on building a DoT team as well now but that will take Jiaoqiu out of my Acheron team. Idk yet lol.
Actually… Acheron, Sparkle, Jiaoqiu, FX
Jingliu, Bronya, RM, HH… Could do the job.
If the character needs signature and eidolons to be good, then the character is not good.
He is good without, he’s better with.
Many pulled for Acheron and regard her as futureproof, expecting her to grow much stronger when more nihility supports are released. However the nihility supports can’t be too great since Acheron is already so great on her own, she ruled the meta for a long time before we knew anything about Jiaoqiu until the release of Firefly who took over the throne of the strongest, meaning she doesn’t really need a Robin or Sparkle class nihility support to be made great again. For a balancing purpose Jiaoqiu was made to be not so great but still a valuable pull, which in turns broke the promise that Acheron would grow much stronger.
Nah Acheron is still stronger than Firefly. Then again Firefly support is right round the corner as well. She clears just as fast as Firefly but does not have a major weakness when enemies can’t be weakness broken.
I don’t see where is the major weakness when no known enemy who enters the MoC / PF is unbreakable and the comp unconditionally 0 cycles any known MoC with little interaction with the enemies and little requirement on the player’s understanding of tactics. If there is a possibility that there might be an unbreakable enemy in the future who enters the MoC then it is as possible as that there might be an enemy who has 200% lightning res rendering all lightning DPS useless.
Something like:
“I can easily think up of how to render >insert unit here< useless…”
Doesn’t mean it’s a major weakness of the said unit. Your intention might be too obvious and your plan might cause unacceptably heavy collateral damage. For example, unbreakable enemies do not only ban Firefly, but also Boothill and possibly Feixiao who rumored to be another break DPS. Also, 200% lightning res does not only ban Acheron, but also the innocent Jing Yuan and Arlan. This is what I mean by “as possible as”.
If your plan is something like “characters other than Firefly gains +1,000,000% damage amp…” then you are fired by Hoyo.
I don’t mean totally unbreakable. I mean when the weakness break is crossed out because you have to kill the mini enemies first like what Boss Sam or Boss Argenti can do at times.
If it isn’t unbreakable then it stands no threat to Firefly. Firefly has minimal interaction with the enemies, if they do not start unbreakable they will never have a chance to turn unbreakable before they are swiftly broken and destroyed. If they start unbreakable but they lower their shields when something happens, then again they are swiftly destroyed before they have a chance to turn unbreakable again. It is indeed an impossible 0 cycle for Firefly if the boss starts unbreakable and will not lower the shields within 150 AV but that doesn’t matte, 0 cycling does not reward additional jades.
My friend said he ran into that problem though so i was working with what i got told from him. I don’t have Firefly myself so imma be a bit ignorant.
I have Firefly and as much as I can tell no existing enemy stand a threat in MoC, PF, and AS, unless the said enemy is specifically crafted against Firefly. You might need Firefly’s E2 and the HTB to have S5 DDD in order to grind 40k score in PF.
1. No toughness lock mechanic -> swiftly broken and destroyed and little interaction with the team.
2. Toughness lock after some point -> swiftly broken and destroyed before that point.
3. Thoghness lock since start and unlocks it after some point -> swiftly broken and destroyed after that point.
When fighting the bosses in SU / DU then things might be difficult if you don’t have the right blessings. Bosses have way higher HP and toughness meter than usual meaning if you don’t destroy them swiftly enough they will lock their toughness meter over and over again. In this case no unit do a job without the right blessings. I suppose your friend might ran into the said issues challenging DU V6 with Firefly superbreak comp where long toughness meters and toughness locks are usual.
Not necessarily the strongest imo, but she is indeed a low invest DPS queen over all other characters currently. When you talk about 0 cycle, she may actually fall short against some enemies like 2 phase bosses or weakness shielded / can’t break fast enough
But in term of how low effort it is to clear everything within 0 – 3 cycles with almost no strategy in mind, Firefly is at the top for most players, hence gave her the reputation of being a powercreep of Boothill or even Acheron for most players. Which is fair tbh, the other powerful DPS like Acheron, Jingliu, Seele, etc … require more strategies and team stats build ( 1 – 2 copies of S5 DDD, E1 / E2 supports like RM / Robin / Sparkle / Broyna with Eagle set and Vonwacq, around 161 SPD as well )
Firefly just wants an E0 RM and you are all set, just slap whatever relic with at least some BE% and correct main stats, mix set relic even and she can demolish everything currently within comfortable clear time ( within 5 cycle, normally 1 – 2 )
That say I know there are people who can make DPS like E0S0 Archeron, Seele, etc… to 0 cycle everything without limited 5* teammates ( or any LC ), but I wouldn’t use them as a base standard as they somehow can build the stats and deal the dmg that may be even higher than E0S1 standard, that I can’t exactly understand how, nor I have the RNG luck for relic to bother
I’m working with a Acheron that does 600k damage single target as well so imma be a bit bias as well on that front.
@Dazz Aephiex That’s thanks to Sparkle ofc. 670k vs1 or 1,3m vs 3. Quantum team may take a back seat from hear out.
@Random Comment Enjoyer
If you find yourself looking for a circumstance where she isn’t strongest then you effectively agreed. Every character is different, there can’t be someone who outperforms the other under any circumstance, unless it’s a direct copy-paste of existing characters and only the numbers are tuned up which isn’t how Hoyo make new characters. A unit doesn’t have to be the strongest to be worthy since there can be only 1 strongest and Firefly will cease being the strongest when the stronger comes out.
@Reina
Yes, Sparkle work very well with Acheron save for the fact she isn’t nihility. E0S1 Acheron may opt to have Sparkle as the 3rd member of the team rather than some nihility units with little damage increment and the resulting team can’t be bad. Since you have E2 Acheron it is equivalent to 18% additional crit rate and an additional 1.6 / 1.15 ≈ 39.1% damage increment above all else, which is very delicious when viewed as pay for damage.
@Dazz Aephiex Actually i have E2 Sparkle too. :X
i feel like it’s a ”Childe needs his c6” type of thing
Well you’re not wrong. Jia only needs his S1/E2.
Given the current circumstances, Jiaoqiu would be a nice addition to my Acheron team despite with his 6 debuff per ult limitation. His present would be beneficial especially on Pure Fiction, although the 6 debuff limitations would be saturated faster.
The usual team would consist of
Acheron, Pela, Guinafen, Gepard (universal market)
This team is lacking on sustain and prone to get crowd controlled by the enemy. With Jiaoqiu on the team, you could replace Gepard with other free sustain like Lynx as debuff cleaner while maintaining a good Acheron ult cycle.
I see other nihility character on Acheron team comp just for the debuff only, but given that he is 5* surely we want more than that. He gives 35% increase DMG received on max stack + 15% increased DMG ult from his ultimate.
While this is nice, this kind a buff isn’t really important (?) on Pure Fiction compared to other mode like MOC.
He is a nice addition to the team, but he doesn’t fix the underlying problem with the F2P Acheron team comp which is the sustain. Tbh, idk whether I would pull or not. E0S0 is probably the max I would do.
I hope the website updates his kit to the current one.
The only reason I consider pulling him is for the Pure Fiction potential, but on other mode I would prefer a Sustain Character like Aventurine which give 50% effect Res.
If what I care only pure fiction, isn’t Jade would be the better option?
I don’t have Himeko, so for pure fiction I run both Firefly team and Acheron team.
If you take only PF into consideration then Jade + Herta is a ruthless 40k score grinder that fear not even the DoT PF. Only E0S0 Jade is required for the purpose.
If you take every mode into consideration then probably get Jiaoqiu for Acheron if you don’t have the DoT comp.

it’s actually 15% increase ult damage taken by the enemies(which is diff from a straight damage dealt increase)
only pulling for prospective skimpy mod atm
username checks out
also what the fu-
The egregious nerfs and his extremely modest attire mean only mod casting couch makes him worth 94 expected pulls to me. Otherwise since I have Trend on Gepard and Pela and Silver Wolf, why would I need a “healer” that can’t heal and does what Guinaifen does?
is it better to get his e1 rather than his LC?
his LC make enemies take 24% more damage while his e1 is 40%
Depends. The 40% as far as i can tell is a normal damage bonus and gets hit by major diminishing returns. If your DPS has 100% elemental damage bonus alr then that buff is massively weakened. If your DPS also has a Harmony unit giving another 60+ % then at that point the LC wins out pretty easily.
The upgrade to his debuffs stack generation is nice but it’s barely a factor, he gets high stacks after 1 turn. But ig it’s something to consider.
So ig it depends, is he for Acheron to be a team mate with SW/Pela? Or is your Acheron E2 and you’re using a Harmony with her?
Either way though both are very nice and getting both is even nicer.

pulling bc pink-haired foxman is cute to me 🤗
