What team role suits Jiaoqiu the best in Honkai Star Rail 2.4?

If you look at Jiaoqiu’s abilities in Honkai Star Rail 2.4, it's easy to deduce that he is a support character for the Nihility units. This implies that he will be a support character for the Nihility characters such as Kafka and Acheron. Additionally, you can place Jiaoqiu with other characters who can deal ridiculous amounts of damage with their Ultimate ability since the former can boost his allies’ Ultimate damage with his abilities.

However, doing so will only handicap Jiaoqiu since he won’t be able to unleash his full potential. Therefore, to make sure he is utilizing his abilities to their fullest extent, Jiaoqiu should be placed in DoT-based (Damage over Time) teams with the Nihility damage dealers.

Pulling for Jiaoqiu solely depends on your account and the characters you have in your collection. If you have Acheron and Kafka, Jiaoqiu is a must-pull unit for you. But if you don’t have them in your collection, you should skip the pull since you won't be able to use Jiaoqiu's kit properly.

Jiaoqiu can place his Ashen Roast debuff on the enemies, which will help the Galaxy Ranger, Achron, to unleash her Ultimate. Moreover, Kafka can deal additional damage since the Ashen Roast stacks also count as Burn DoT.
