Besides, "Ashen Roast" can cause Fire DoT damage, making Jiaoqiu possible to be a part of the DoT teams.
► Rarity: Five-star ► Combat types: Fire ► Path: The Nihility
Trace Priority
Prioritize levelling up Jiaoqiu's talent. Talent is Jiaoqiu's primary damage source and support tool. Next, work on upgrading his Ultimate. But if your Jiaoqiu is mainly used in a DoT team, this may not be as critical. As for his Basic ATK and Skill, they don't provide significant combat advantages, so you can conserve resources by skipping their upgrades. Extra traces are all important to be unlocked. And other traces of Stat bonus can be selectively unlocked according to your own situation. In conclusion, the trace priority for Jiaoqiu is Talent > Ultimate > Skill > Basic ATK.
Light Cones
1. Best choice: Those Many Springs
