Honkai's Star Rail The return of IPC debt collector Jade and the much-loved Firefly are included in edition 2.3. There is undoubtedly a lot to like about both characters, but which one should you choose to root for?
In Honkai: Star Rail 2.3, should you cheer for Firefly or Jade?
For the majority of individuals, choosing between Firefly and Jade won't be tough. Players have had a lot more time to get to know Firefly and see her activities in the tale as she has been a part of the Penacony plot since 2.0. Jade, on the other hand, hasn't really accomplished anything notable as of yet; she's just been heard about and seen in a flashback. She hasn't had an opportunity to connect with the player base, but that will probably change with 2.3. Thus, Firefly is the superior pull in terms of plot. Here's some food for thought, however, if you're approaching this subject from a meta-perspective.
Firefly
Character Fire Destruction character Firefly is intensely focused on dealing Damage to Breaks constantly. She is best used as the hypercarry on a team, and she will find it difficult to perform other duties. She obsesses on Break Damage and how it impacts her possible team mates, which is the reason. You see, if the target is not damaged or cannot be broken, Firefly does not cause any significant harm. Despite her incredible skill, her gameplay suffers greatly since she is solely dependent on shattering her adversaries. She actually only has one team comp that she can play because to this unfavorable aspect: Ruan Mei, Harmony MC, and Gallagher.
Firefly's emphasis on Break Damage makes her very weak without the aforementioned setup. Firefly needs all three characters to function properly; if you remove even one, your Firefly will be far less powerful. Particularly Ruan Mei is an unquestionably huge performance booster for Firefly. I would even go so far as to argue that you shouldn't pull Firefly if you don't have Ruan Mei. If you are unable to pull Ruan Mei, you might be better off selecting a different character. Thankfully, a repetition of her banner is scheduled for 2.3. Unfortunately, Firefly's comp won't be feasible until you get two five-star characters.
Firefly is an incredible force that can help you demolish everything in the game if you already have Ruan Mei and the other listed team members. Firefly receives a large increase to Break Damage from Ruan Mei. Firefly can now do Super Breaks thanks to Harmony MC, and this will scale very well with her. In addition to helping Firefly reach her goals, Gallagher assists her in becoming better. One of the best team competitions in Honkai: Star Rail is this one.If you're able to put everything together.
Jade

Her whole kit is designed with the fact that she is a Follow-Up attack character in mind. Jade is primarily a sub-DPS who, at the expense of the target's health, bestows an SPD and ATK bonus known as Debt Collector on them each time they launch an attack. Jade accumulates charges proportional to the number of targets attacked, up to a maximum of eight, when she or the target of her Debt Collector hits a target. Jade's follow-up strike triggers when she has eight charges left, doing a lot of damage. All foes on the field will receive quantum damage. Jade's Ultimate enables her Follow-up strikes and does AOE damage.
Jade's biggest vulnerability, keeping the most crucial components of her kit in mind, is her obsession with AOE damage—that is, her drive to strike as many targets as you can in a single round. Jade thrives in battles if there are a lot of opponents and thoroughly defeats them. Her damage, however, is significantly reduced in battles with few enemies. With the majority of the challenging confrontations in Honkai: Star Rail consisting of three targets or less, this feature alone is enough not to pull for Jade. Because to her less-than-average multipliers and inability to obtain more than two stacks every cycle (one for herself and one from the Debt Collector target), Jade performs poorly in single-target battles.
But if you need a character to assist you in passing Pure Fiction, Because Jade is such a great character, you may want to think about pulling her. Building up a character like Jade will naturally benefit you a lot in that regard, since Pure Fiction is an end-game scenario that is hard to finish without AOE. It's a good idea to take Jade into consideration for Pure Fiction once it appears, as version 2.3 will provide Memory of Chaos, Apocalyptic Shadow, and Pure Fiction as endgame options.
In the end, I see Firefly and Jade as specialized attractions within the larger scheme of . Honkai: Star RailI don’t think either character is a must-pull since they are both very strong in their roles—but only in the right situations. If you already have Ruan Mei, Firefly is the safest character to pull, if I had to choose. While I am a major supporter of Follow-up team compositions, Jade’s additions to the already extremely formidable Topaz, Dr. Ratio. Other than taking Dr. Ratio's place in encounters with a lot of AOE, Robin and the Aventurine crew have no real function. In the same way that Topaz's function wasn't revealed until later characters were introduced in order to enhance her performance, I too think her actual role is still unknown.
