Rotation
Jade Knight QTE is easy to trigger and the best start for her rotation, we have two options:
1. QTE > WEAPON ACTIVE(if you have her signature weapon)>ULTIMATE>HOLD ATK>SWITCH
or if you are farming SP
2. QTE>COMBO ATK(3 bolt slashes connecting to back wind slash and hold atk)>SWITCH
This will buff Ranged Attack DMG like HoHE or HoR's Charged Attack.
Bolt Slash x3 + tap [ATK] = Back Wind Slash = 20 SP
B-B-B + A = Back Wind Slash = 20 SP
B = Ultimate ****on
A= ATK ****on
Jade Knight can restore 20 SP by unleashing Combo ATK [Back Wind Slash] (off-field Back Wind Slash can't regen SP) Without her signature weapon, Jade Knight must use B-B-B-A to unleash on-field [Back Wind Slash]. With signature weapon, process is faster even if we count weapon active animation. [Signature weapon active animation + on-field Back Wind Slash] is faster than [B-B-B-A]. After signature weapon active, Jade Knight can directly connect to on-field [Back Wind Slash] by pressing A without B-B-B.
Gear Options
Weapon
Her best in slot weapon is Nocturnal Stealth: Beam (PRI version of nocturnal stealth),this weapon provides Jade Knight with her needed SP while also buffing her Combo ATK and providing Ice DMG and TDM for the team. It can also immediately connect to Back Wind Slash after casting the weapon skill, this provides her with more SP while also buffing the team outside burst rotations.
If you are unlucky to not get it a good alternative can be Cosmic Duality. Although this weapon doesn’t provide as much SP like her signature and can't activate the team Total DMG buff it still provides a bit SP for Sushang which is something she needs.
Stigmata
Most ATKs can trigger : Newton-B, Mei Beach Party-M, Turgenev-B, Jin Shengtan-2pc
Combo can trigger :Cezanne-B, Sushang-T
Ultimate can trigger Margrave-2pc (with B), Adler-B, Aslaug-B, Sushang-B
With her passive, Jade Knight can apply Newton-B, Mei-M, Jin-2pc, Cezanne-B, Sushang-T from off field. Back Wind Slash is registered as Combo DMG (not Ultimate), so Jade Knight can't refresh Aslaug duration from off field. Jade Knight needs to be on the field to apply Margrave/Adler/Aslaug/Sushang-B by using her Ultimate
She is very dependent on her signature stigma set.
Full Sushang Set or Sushang TB/Mei Beach M are best in slots stigmata for Jade Knight. Other alternative Stigmata will be Turgenev, Irene Adler and Margrave.
Team synergy
She can replace HB in the majority of the bosses (but that's not always the case ) and works really well when paired with Reverist Calico together with your chosen DPS.
For example SW-JK-RC , HoR-JK-RC , HoHE-JK-RC ecc
Is also possible to run triple support team with sus HB and pardofelis especially at hight rank
Best supports elfs are elf elysia and water edge :
SUMMARY
Signature Weapon ~> Without this, Jade Knight's SP regen will be lower and rotation will be longer.
Signature Stigmata-B & 2pc ~› Both are needed. Without Sus-B or Sus-2pc effect, just use another stigmata set. Alternative Stigmata ~> Turgenev-TB (with Mei-M or Paganini-M) is best alternative, only Sushang-TMB and Sushang-TB is better than that.
