Honkai Star Rail Jiaoqiu build guide: Best Relics, Light Cones, Trace priority, teams, and materials

When building Jiaoqiu in Honkai Star Rail, understanding how his abilities work and what stats to aim for is essential. Since he is a brand-new unit, players might not be familiar with the stats he needs to have an impact on the battlefield. Moreover, since he is a support/debuffer treading on the Nihility Path, players need the correct Relic sets, Planar Ornament, and Light Cones to perfect their build.

This article takes a look at the best gears you can use on Jiaoqiu in Honkai Star Rail to make sure he can assist his allies to the fullest.

Best Relic sets for Jiaoqiu in Honkai Star Rail

Since there are no Relic sets in Honkai Star Rail that are tailor-made for Jiaoqiu, you need to mix and match a few when building him. The Relic sets you can use on him are:

• Two-piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace + two-piece Prisoner in Deep Confinement
• Two-piece Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters + two-piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Since Jiaoqiu is a support/debuffer unit, he needs the 6% SPD buff from the Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Relic Set. You can farm for either of the Relic sets as both suit Jiaoqiu well.

Best Planar Ornament sets for Jiaoqiu in Honkai Star Rail

• Two-piece Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise
• Two-piece Broken Keel

Since Jiaoqiu requires a hefty amount of Effect Hit Rate to inflict debuffs on enemies, the Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise ornament set is one of the best that you can give to him.

If you have already achieved the perfect amount of Effect Hit Rate without the Planar Ornaments, Broken Keel is one of the best ornament sets you can use on Jiaoqiu. It boosts his Effect RES by a significant amount, helping him inflict debuffs without any interruptions.
