Jasper in Honkai Star Rail: guide to the best builds

In Honkai: Star Rail, Jasper is a 5-star character with a Quantum type of combat and belongs to the path of Erudite. In a squad, she can play the role of a primary or secondary damage dealer with bonus attacks. In this guide we will tell you about her best builds, light cones and relics. You will also learn about the recommended commands with it.

Note: KMM TOP Manager has not yet been officially released, so the data presented here is based on information obtained as part of beta testing. If necessary, we will update the guide when the heroine appears in the game.

Main features of Jasper

How to get Jasper

This heroine can only be obtained during the event Jump. In the near future, the corresponding banner will be launched as part of the second phase of patch 2.3 (July 10). If you want to be one of the first to know about her next rerun, we advise you to bookmark this article.

Let’s add that HoYoverse only once gave a 5-star character in honor of winning the nomination for “best mobile game of the year” and never once for completing various events, so it is highly likely that you will be able to unlock this TOP manager of KMM only with the help of Jumps.< /p>

Progression of Jasper’s characteristics

In the table below you can see how the heroine’s basic parameters change as her level increases.

< td class="center">1

< td class="center">103

Level	Attack Power	Defense	HP	Speed
90	69	148	103
20	175	135	288	103
40	337	260	554	103

80	660	509	1087

Note that her critical damage, critical hit chance, and taunt are 50%, 5%, and 75 units respectively at any level, and her energy reserve is 140 units.

Advantages and disadvantages of Jasper

Thanks to her unique abilities, Jasper can quickly destroy large groups of enemies. Her advantages also include:

• An excellent damage dealer for inflicting mass damage on enemies, because even her basic attack affects several enemies at once. For this reason, she is great for clearing the levels of “Pure Fiction”, where you have to deal with constant waves of enemies.
• Well suited for teams with two damage dealers, as she can strengthen her colleagues, increasing their speed and giving them additional quantum damage.
• Under certain conditions, she can play the role of a hypercarry in a squad, supported by two supports. The ideal option would be buffers that enhance bonus attacks.
• Capable of independently strengthening itself during battle, increasing its critical damage and attack power.
• Saves skill points, since Jasper only needs to use the skill once every three turns.
• Does not need Eidolons, legendary supports or paid weapons to effectively perform its main function, so it will appeal to F2P players.

However, there are some downsides, some of which follow directly from its advantages:

• Has a rather expensive super ability (140 units), which is why it takes longer to fully restore energy.
• Doesn't perform very well in battles with single opponents – the difference in damage to 1 and 5 enemies can differ several times. For this reason, Jasper is not the best choice for clearing the “Hall of Oblivion” and “Illusion of the End”, unless the boss is able to summon minions.
• The hypercarry option is possible, but it will still be inferior to a team with two damage dealers, so it is mainly suitable only for beginners who have not yet managed to collect a large number of heroes.
• It is highly desirable to have a hero capable of attacking several targets at once as a second damage dealer, so that Yashma can quickly gain Charge levels necessary for her to perform a bonus attack and increase her stats.
• Although the heroine is able to increase her crit. damage and attack power, but this happens rather slowly, because to receive maximum buffs she needs to gain 50 stacks of Charge.
• The damage dealer who becomes a Debt Collector begins to spend her health when performing attacks. For this reason, it is advisable to have a good healer on your team. The shield warrior will be a little less useful.

Jasper’s abilities

When using the basic attack “Lash of Wealth”, it deals quantum damage equal to 45~117% and 15-39% of its attack power to the selected enemy and nearby targets. At the same time, it restores 20 units of energy and penetrates 30 units of durability to the main target, and 15 units to the neighboring ones.

Explanation: You will use them often, but they do little damage as such. The main task of basic attacks is to gain additional charge levels if Jasper herself is a Debt Collector, since in one hit you can get up to 3 stacks.

After using the “Guarantee of Acquisition” skill, the heroine transforms the marked ally into the Debt Collector, increasing its speed by 30 units for three turns. When performing an attack, the collector inflicts additional quantum damage on each enemy hit in the amount of 15-30% of Jasper's attack power and spends 2% of his maximum health (if there is a shortage of it, the HP scale is immediately reduced to 1 unit).

The KMM TOP manager herself can become a Debt Collector, but in this case she does not have speed increases, and its impacts do not lead to a decrease in HP. At the beginning of each of her turns, the duration of this status is reduced by 1 turn. While there is a Debt Collector on the battlefield, the heroine cannot activate her skill, which, by the way, gives 30 energy.

Explanation: Jasper's joint attack, which deals quantum damage, does not provide energy and does not reduce the durability of opponents, so it is at least pleasant, but certainly not the main source of damage to the heroine. So the main task of the skill is to provide the Debt Collector status to one or another character, which is necessary to gain charge levels (this is discussed in more detail in the talent). The speed buff, by the way, is extremely important, as it allows the bearer of the effect to walk earlier and more often than Jasper, which has a positive effect on the duration of the bonus.

Having activated the superpower “Contract Signing Pool”, the heroine inflicts quantum damage to all enemies in the amount of 120-300% of her attack power. The bonus attack multiplier increases by 40-100%. This bonus can work up to two times.

Explanation: Ultimate can do quite a bit of damage at level 10 (240%). For comparison, Jing Yuan's ultimate has a multiplier of only 200%, and Himeko's – 230%. However, she is still not the main source of damage for the heroine, because her talent in this regard is almost two times inferior.

As for the buff, it will only be valid for two subsequent bonus attacks. Then you need to activate the ult again. To use it every rotation, you will have to take a rope to restore energy, but we do not recommend that you do this, since increasing the attack power will be more beneficial.

If we talk about the heroine’s passive talent – ​​“Fang of Withdrawal”, then it gives 1 level of charge to Jasper for each target hit by an ally or by the heroine herself if she has the Debt Collector status. Having collected 8 stacks, the TOP manager spends them, and then carries out a bonus attack, causing quantum damage to all enemies in the amount of 60-150% of his attack power. This hit does not grant charges.

When performing a bonus attack, Jasper immediately receives 5 levels of Pledge status, each of which increases her critical damage by 1.2-3%. This bonus can stack up to 50 times.

Explanation: Bonus attacks are the main source of damage, as they will trigger quite often, especially when fighting a large number of enemies. The main thing is that the Debt Collector be able to deal damage to several enemies at once (Erudition and Destruction fighters are suitable). It is for this reason that Jasper can attack 3 targets with her basic attacks – this allows her to play the role of a collector herself, if necessary.

It is highly desirable that the Debt Collector could walk often (have high speed), because this will also increase the frequency of Jasper’s bonus attacks. Note that the extra charges (>8) do not burn out, but go to the next bonus attack. If Jasper is stunned, she will not be able to perform bonus attacks, but the charges will continue to accumulate, so immediately after regaining consciousness she will perform a bonus attack (if 8 charges have been accumulated).

As for the buff, at level 10 talent even 15 stacks of Pledge will give a 36% increase in crit. damage to the heroine, and 50 is a 120 percent bonus. These levels will be gained throughout the battle, that is, the longer the battle goes on, the stronger Jasper will become.

We also can’t help but mention the “Hunter’s Vision” technique, the use of which imposes a Weak Will debuff on enemies in a certain area for 10 seconds, due to which they cannot attack your team. If you independently attack enemies with this status, then Jasper will immediately inflict quantum damage on them in the amount of 50% of her attack power and receive 15 levels of Pledge.

Traces of Jasper

In addition to the above abilities, the heroine’s leveling tree also includes other enhancements that provide passive bonuses or permanent increases to characteristics. Basically we are talking about increasing attack power, quantum damage and resistance to effects. You can get acquainted with them all in the picture below.

Next, we will briefly consider special traces with their own mechanics:

• Buyback – Jasper receives 1 level of Pledge when an enemy enters the battle . At the start of her turn, she gains an additional 3 levels of Pledge. Stacks are given for each enemy, that is, the more there are, the better. This trace significantly speeds up the collection of Collateral.
• Collateral Check – advances the heroine's action forward by 50% at the beginning of the battle. Compensates for Jasper's low speed by allowing her to appoint another damage dealer as Debt Collector as soon as possible.
• Asset Forfeiture – Each level of Collateral increases Jasper's attack power by 0.5%. At 50 stacks, attack power will increase by 25%. This bonus will mainly be useful for the heroine in the role of hypercarry, since she will have to take the boots at speed.

Eidolons of Jasper

To unlock them, you need materials of the same name, issued when duplicates of the hero appear, which, of course, is random. And considering the rarity of 5-star character drops, be prepared to spend a lot of money and time on this. Fortunately, even without eidolons, Jasper can easily serve as a primary or secondary damage dealer on a team. Below is a list of them:

1. Altruism? It can be traded – increases bonus attack damage by 32%. When the Debt Collector hits 2 or 1 enemy, the heroine receives 1 or 2 additional energy units respectively.
2. Morality? It is certified by her – increases Jasper's critical chance by 18% after collecting 15 stacks of Pledge.
3. Honesty? You can make a deposit – the level of skill and talent increases by two. The maximum level for both increases to 15. Increases overall damage well.
4. Sincerity? Optional – when using an ult, the damage caused by the heroine ignores 12% of the enemy’s defense for 3 turns.
5. Hope? Long sold out – the level of the ultimate increases by two, and the base attack by one.  The maximum level for the first increases to 15, and for the second – to 10.
6. Fairness? Requires a guarantee – increases the penetration of Jasper's quantum resistance by 20% when there is a Debt Collector on the battlefield. In addition, she herself also becomes a collector.

If you plan to knock out eidolons and have a limited budget, then you may well stick to E1, which significantly increases the damage from bonus attacks and allows you to gain charges faster in a team with damage dealers who move often, but can only hit one target at a time (Topaz, Zele, Dr. Ratio and so on). If you have a choice between the signature and the first eidolon, then we recommend taking the second option.

How to play for Jasper

There are two options for playing for Jasper: when she works with another damage dealer ( preferably also from the path of Erudition) or serves as a hypercarry. Let's look at the second option first, since it will be less popular and in demand due to its lower combat potential.

So, in this case, the Top Manager will stick the Debt Collector on herself, and then gain charge levels with basic hits. Bonus attacks will still remain the main source of damage for the heroine, but you can also include regular use of your ult into your rotation if you take as your second support a character who can restore the energy of an ally (Tingyuan or Hoho).

You will definitely need to take boots for speed, since Jasper must walk often to gain charges faster and use bonus attacks. You can compensate for the lack of attack power with buffers and certain light cones (for example, Eternal Reckoning), but again, it is better not to use this heroine against strong single bosses who are not able to call for help.

Overall, her optimal rotation as a hypercarry would look like this:

1. Use Jasper's technique and attack the enemy to instantly gain 15 levels of Pledge, giving her a 36% and 7.5%  bonus to critical damage and attack power, respectively.
2. Thanks to the “Deposit Check” trail, Jasper will be one of the first to go, so immediately use the skill on her to give her the status of Debt Collector.
3. Now start using basic attacks on your enemies. Do not hit opponents at the edges, otherwise you will not be able to get 3 charges if there are 3 or more mobs on the field. In 3 turns (they can be completed in one cycle, if you have enough speed and a support capable of promoting the actions of your allies forward), you can accumulate the required number of stacks to perform a bonus attack, which will give the heroine additional levels of the Pledge.

< li>If the ult is ready, then use it immediately to get a large number of charges, because it hits all enemies on the field at once.

4. After the skill ends, use it on Jasper again to repeat the cycle.

The next option involves using Jasper in a team with another damage dealer. It is on him that you will apply the status of Debt Collector. Main DD should be fast and able to hit multiple enemies at once. However, the last condition can be ignored if Jasper has an open E1, and the selected fighter also uses bonus attacks (Topaz, Doctor Ratio) or can independently advance his action forward (Zele).

Jasper can be left slow, because the Debt Collector's action depends on her moves, so it will be very good if a damage dealer with this status can go 2-3 times before actions of the KMM TOP manager. This will also allow the heroine to carry out her bonus attack faster. The optimal rotation will look like this:

1. Use Jasper's technique and attack the enemy to instantly gain 15 levels of Pledge, which will give her a 36% and 7.5% bonus to critical damage and attack power, respectively.
2. Thanks to the “Pledge” trace check” Jasper will be one of the first to go, so immediately use her skill to give the Debt Collector status to another damage dealer.
3. Now start hitting the mobs with the Debt Collector. It is advisable to use his skill and/or ult to hit several enemies at once and gain more charge levels. When fighting large groups of enemies, you can easily gain 8 stacks in 3-4 turns. If necessary, use a support capable of pushing allies' actions forward (Armor, Sparkle, Robin). This will cause Jasper to perform a bonus attack, granting her additional Pledge levels. Consequently, her subsequent bonus attacks will become even stronger.
4. If Jasper's ult is ready, then immediately use it to deal additional damage.
5. After the skill ends, use it again on the damage dealer to repeat the cycle.

Best builds for Jasper

Best light cones

When choosing a weapon, you should pay attention to those options that increase attack power, crits and bonus attacks. The table below presents the most interesting options.

< th scope="col">Ability

< td>

Increases attack power by 9-15% for each enemy on the battlefield, can stack up to five times. If there is an enemy with a broken vulnerability, it increases damage by 30-50% for one turn.

Also significantly increases attack power when fighting a large number of enemies. In battles with single bosses, the usefulness of the cone is noticeably reduced. However, you are unlikely to take Jasper to such battles. We also recommend taking supports into your squad, who increase the effectiveness of breaking through vulnerabilities.

Name	Characteristics
But hope is priceless (5 stars)	HP: 43- 953   Attack power: 26-582 Defense: 24-529	Increases critical hit chance by 16-28%. If the wearer's critical damage during battle exceeds 120%, then the damage from his bonus attack increases by 12-20% for every 20% exceeding the specified value. This buff can stack up to four times. At the beginning of the battle or after using a basic strike, the ult and bonus attack ignore 20-36% of the target's defense for two turns. Jasper's signature, which perfectly balances her crits. The second passive will trigger regularly thanks to the talent that increases crit. damage. Ignoring the defense will allow you to inflict even more damage on your enemies. However, the 1st eidolon will still be more useful.
Continuous computing (5 stars)	HP: 48-1058   Attack power: 24-529 Defense: 18-397	Increases attack power by 8-12%. Each enemy hit increases the wearer's attack power by an additional 4-8%. The bonus stacks up to 5 times and lasts until the next hit. If the number of enemies hit is equal to or higher than 3, then the owner's speed increases by 8-16% for 1 turn. The main advantage of this cone is that it can be purchased in Gerta's store for bonds, so you can reach the 5th overlay without any problem. In addition, he can increase Jasper's ATK by an impressive 52%, which will significantly increase her damage. True, speed will be useless to her unless she is in a hypercarry position.
Night on the Milky Way (5 stars)< /p>	HP: 1164 ATK: 582 DEF: 396
Today is also a peaceful day (4 stars)	HP: 846 ATK: 529 DEF: 330	Increases the wearer's damage at the beginning of the battle by 0.2-0.4% per each unit of energy up to 160 points. Significantly increases Jasper's overall damage on the 5th cast, making it very likely to be the best 4-star option for her. But you can only get it from a paid battle pass, so it’s better to save money and just give the heroine “Non-stop Computing.”
Until Dawn (5 stars)	HP: 1058 ATK: 582 DEF: 463	Increases critical damage by 36-60%, damage from skills and superpowers by 18-30%. After using a superpower or skill, the damage from the bonus attack increases by 48-80%. A useful, but rather controversial cone. Firstly, critical damage is less important to Jasper than critical chance, since she can already gain critical damage from the talent. Secondly, the heroine's skill does not cause damage and is used once every three turns, and she does not use her ult often, so the buff to bonus attacks will work quite rarely. However, in the absence of alternatives, you can put it on.
The birth of yourself (4 stars)	HP: 952 ATK: 476 DEF: 330	Increases damage dealt by bonus attacks by 24-48%. If the target enemy's health is at or below 50%, the damage from bonus attacks is increased by an additional 24-48%. Significantly increases the damage from bonus attacks on the 5th cast, which are the main Jasper's source of damage, coming close in efficiency to “Continuous Computing”. However, it will be less useful on 1-3 overlays.
Rest of geniuses (4 stars)	HP: 846 ATK: 476 DEF: 396	Increases attack power by 16-32%. Destroying an enemy increases critical damage by 24-48%. Greatly increases ATK, which increases Jasper's overall damage. Crete. damage only triggers when killing enemies, so the second part of the passive will be useful only when fighting large groups of enemies.
< p> The day the universe fell (4 stars)	HP: 952< /p> ATK: 476 DEF: 330	Increases the owner's attack power by 16-24%. If after a hit at least 2 targets have a corresponding vulnerability, the owner's critical damage is increased by 20-40% for 2 turns. Provides less attack power and crit damage than the previous weapon, but can be obtained completely free of charge in the Light Cone Passage.

Best Relics

As for the choice of common relics mined in the Caves of Corrosion, the table below shows the most optimal options.

Name	Bonuses	Advantages
Genius of Diamond Stars	2 parts: increase quantum damage by 10 %. 4 parts: in case of damage, the wearer ignores 10% of the enemy's defense. If the enemy has a quantum vulnerability, the owner will ignore the additional 10% protection.	An optimal option for Jasper, which increases her personal damage. Shows himself even better with Pela in the team.
Genius of Diamond Stars Burning Duke	2 pieces: increases bonus attack damage by 10%. 2 pieces: increases quantum damage by 10% .	A good alternative to the previous set, which will make it easier to choose good stats. It enhances Jasper's main source of damage and its overall damage.
The Burning Duke	2 parts: increase the damage of bonus attacks by 20%. 4 pieces: When the wearer performs a bonus attack, their attack power increases by 6% each time that bonus attack deals damage. This effect can stack up to 8 times and lasts for 3 turns. The effect is removed the next time the owner performs a bonus attack.	Another good option that not only increases the damage from bonus attacks, but also gives additional attack power, which affects the damage of all Jasper’s abilities.
< p> Courage of the Wind	2 parts: increase attack power by 12%. 4 pieces: Increases critical hit chance by 6%. After using a bonus attack, it increases the damage from your superpower by 36% for 1 turn.	A good set that will increase Jasper’s overall damage. With it it will be easier to balance the heroine’s crits, and the ult will begin to be more useful. The main thing is to remember to activate it only after the bonus attack has been made.

Now we move on to planar jewelry, which is mined in the Virtual Universe. The list below shows the recommended options (the numbers indicate the priority of choice):

Planar decoration	Bonuses	Reasons for choice
1) Duran Wolf Dynasty	2 parts: when an ally performs a bonus attack, the wearer receives 1 level of Feat (maximum 5). Each stack increases the owner's bonus attack damage by 5%. Having gained 5 levels of the Feat, the wearer additionally receives a 25% bonus to critical damage.	The best option for Jasper if she is in a team with characters who also actively use bonus attacks. Otherwise, it is better to choose one of the sets below.
2) Frozen Salsotto	2 parts: increase the chance of a critical hit by 8%. If this parameter exceeds 50%, then the damage from the ult and bonus attacks will increase by 15%.	A more universal option that will be good in any situation, as it will simplify the balancing of crits and increase the damage from bonus attacks . Ulta will also become a little more useful.
3) Barren Sigonia	2 parts: increases crit. carrier chance by 4%. When defeating an enemy, increases the owner's critical damage by another 4%. The bonus can be stacked up to 10 times.	The best option for Pure Fiction, where Jasper can easily gain maximum buff stacks.

As for the relic stats, you should choose as follows:

• Body: Critical Hit Chance or Critical Damage (depending on what weapon and relic sets you use, the main thing is to keep the ratio 1 to 2)
• Legs: Attack Power (Speed, if Jasper is a hypercarry)
• Planar Sphere: Quantum Damage Bonus (priority) or Attack Power%
• Connecting Rope: Attack Power
• Additional Stats: Critical Damage/Crit Chance > Attack Power > Speed

If we talk about the optimal indicators of the heroine’s attributes, they look like this:

• Attack power: from 2800 units and above
• Critical hit chance: 60-70%
• Critical damage: 120-140% (excluding talent bonus)
• Speed: 110-115 units (in teams with other damage dealers)

The best commands for Jasper

As we noted above, Jasper performs best in company with other damage dealers, and it is desirable that they can deal damage to several enemies at once, that is, belong to the paths of Erudition and Destruction. In this case, other fighters with high speed, as well as those capable of delivering bonus attacks and/or independently propelling their actions forward (Topaz, Dr. Ratio, Zele, etc.) are also suitable.

As a buffer, you can take a support that can advance the Tax Collector's action so that he can make more turns per cycle, such as Armor, Sparkle, or Robin. In general, any supports that increase attack power, damage from bonus attacks, crits, and/or speed (preferably not all, but only selected allies) will do.

If you are going to make a hypercarry out of Jasper, then you will need two supports, and one of them can be a debuffer. For example, Pela, who is able to cut down enemy defense, shows herself to be quite good. In the table below, you can see the optimal teams with a TOP KMM manager.

Main DD	Sub DD	Sub-DD/Support	Support
Serval	Jasper	Tingyun (Asta)	Gallagher
Gerta	Jasper	Sparkle	Fu Xuan
Doctor Ratio (Topaz)	Jasper	Robin (Ruan Mei)	Aventurine
Himeko (Hook)	Jasper	Armor	Aventurine (Natasha)
Zele	Jasper	< /p> Silver Wolf (Armor)	Fu Xuan ( Hoho)
Qingque	Jasper	Sparkle	Fu Xuan (Lynx)
Jing Yuan	Jasper	Tingyun (Sparkle)	Hoho (Fu Xuan)
Jingliu (Blade)	Jasper	Armor	Hoho
Argenti	Jasper	Tingyun	< /p> XoXo
Jashma	Tingyun	Armor (Sparkle, Robin, Asta)	Hoho
Jasper	Sparkle	Silver Wolf	Fu Xuan (Lynx)
