There is another way of entering Sword Array Mode it is by her QTE Skill.
C. QTE Skill
You can trigger Jade Knight's QTE by damaging enemies with Combo or Charge ATKs, and when her teammate is casting Ultimate.
D. Back Wind Slash
In Sword Array Mode you will be able to use Back Wind Slash when you have 3 Stacks of this :
After casting Back Wind Slash Jade Knight will deal 6x30% ATK of Ice DMG, recovers 20 SP and increases Teammates Non-Burst Mode Ranged Ice DMG for 40% for 10 sec. Casting it again will refresh the duration.
E. Heart Piercer
Holding [ATK] during Sword Array Mode will trigger Heart Piercer. Deals 14x70% ATK of Ice DMG, Activates 3 sec Time Fracture, and end Sword Array Mode. You can switch in to another valk during Heart Piercer animation.
F. Ultimate
SP Cost :150 SP
CD : 20 Sec
Holding [ULT] when you have enough SP will unleash Jade Knight's ultimate skill Blade of Eminence. Casting Blade of Eminence increases all Valkryies elemental breach on their attacks for 14% for 18 Sec. And if Jade Knight have more that 150 SP, she will consume more SP (caps at 25 SP) to deal more damage and boosts team's Ice DMG by (Extra SP Consumed x 1%) for 18 Sec. At SS Rank Blade of Eminence will deal 100% more Ice DMG and Breaks Shield easier by 200%. And also Boosts teams Shieldbreaking capacity by 25%.
G. Passives
Jade Knight's passive that is worth mentioning.
- When a team member casts weapon skill or Deals DMG with Combo or Charged ATK, Jade Knight will casts Back wind slash at the enemy Off Field (will not restore her SP). This will trigger stigmata Effects such as Turgenev, Candy T, Mei Pool M, Newton B, etc.
H. Jade Knight Rank Up Skill Unlocks
Here i will just point out Jade Knight rank up's that will have the most impact on her gameplay. From S0 to SS each rank-up will costs 25 Fragments each, and SS to SSS costs 50 Fragments each.
SS : Blade of Eminence will deal 100% more Ice DMG and Breaks Shield easier by 200%. And also Boosts teams Shieldbreaking capacity by 25%. Off field Back Wind Slash recovers 5 SP. And Increases Elemental Breach when casting Ultimate from 14% to 17%.

SS2 : Casting On Field Back Wind Slash increases team Ice DMG From 40% to 50%
SSS : Increases SS1 buff from 10% to 20%. And Heart Piercer deals extra 2 more fixed DMG to Number Shields.
3. How to play Jade Knight
Jade Knight can quickly buff her teammates without being on the field for too long. You would not want to fill up her Blade Sanction bar manually. Normally u would want to just enter with QTE to instantly enter Sword Array Mode.
Gameplay Sequence :
Felis use her Combo ATK or ULT > Sushang enters with QTE > casts Weapon Skill > Use Back Wind Slash (Press [ATK] Icon) > Use Ultimate > Use Heart Piercer (Hold [ATK]) > Switch to DPS.
Here is how it will look like.
File too big to be shown in GIF.
Mini Rotations.
If your damage is too high and you don't want to waste all that skills, you could just use Felis Purple Combo to apply her TDM Buff, and enter with Jade Knight QTE to apply some buffs. Here is how to do her Mini-rot.
Mini-rot Sequence :
Felis use all Combo Sequence > Sushang enters with QTE > Use Heart Piercer (Hold [ATK]) > Switch to DPS.
4. Jade Knight Abyss Gameplay
Here are Jade Knight gameplay on some bosses.
5. How is Haxxor Bunny now that Sushang is coming
Well to be honest Sushang is going to replace Haxxor Bunny for 80% of Ice Abyss Bosses. But Haxxor Bunny is not 100% dead as you still need her on Hephaestus on Abyss because of her signature weapon Crusher Bunny 19C that is able to apply Freeze trauma, as Hephaestus has a big Freeze trauma bar to fill. Felis itself with her Special combo ATK and ULT will not fill the entire Freeze trauma. And as seen in the showcase the Best line up for Assaka Ranged is Silverwing, Sushang, and Haxxor Bunny. And also if your Jade Knight is not SS, HB will still outperform Jade Knight.
6. Conclusion
Jade Knight is a very strong support for the Ice team that Boosts team's Elemental Breach (strongest buff in the game) and Shieldbreaking Capacity to deal with the new boss HOV in Abyss and SSS Huodou in MA. It is Highly Recommended to have Jade Knight.
