Sacrificial jade in Genshin Impact: where to get and to whom to give

In Genshin Impact Sacrificial jade is epic catalyst received as a reward for reaching a certain level when purchasing Battle Pass. This weapon will be useful for heroes whose abilities increase with HP. The equipment item also gives mastery of the elements and a valuable percentage of critical hit chance. From this guide you will learn how to get and to whom to give the Sacrificial Jade, as well as its principle of operation.

Where to get Sacrificial Jade

The Sacrificial Jade is a special trophy that, as of Patch 4.0, is included in the updated Battle Pass weapon set. There are two main conditions for obtaining it:

• purchase the "Pearl Anthem" - a subscription to the Battle Pass Permit.
• reach BP level 30.

At the thirtieth level of the BP, you will have access to a chest with ten different guns, among which you need to choose this catalyst.

Read more about the BP system and ways to increase its levels in our separate guide.

Remember : After opening the chest with the reward, you can only get 1 copy of Sacrificial Jade. Therefore, for his full awakening, you will have to buy the Pearl Anthem 4 more times.

Weapon Description Sacrificial Jade

• Type: catalyst
• Rarity: epic (4 stars).
• Upper parameter: BA (basic attack) - 41-454.
• Lower parameter: SK (critical hit chance) - 8% -36.8%.

Passive Mechanics[Нефритовый круговорот] : When the Achievement: Hero is in the pocket for more than 5 seconds, his HP increases by 32-64%, and MS - by 40-80 units. If the owner of the weapon returns to the battlefield, the buffs will last for another 10 seconds before disappearing.

How to upgrade Sacrificial Jade

When planning to reach the maximum level of the catalyst, you should stock up on the following amount of resources:

• Valuable item from the Guyun stone forest: glowing sand / shiny stone / relic / remains of the gods. Complete the dungeon "Hidden Palace of Lianshan Formula" on the territory of the Geo region and get parts of this material of different rarity. You can farm on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays.
• Trophies for defeating the Cicine Mages: pollen / pouch / Mist Grass Wick.
• Trophies for defeating Shamachurls: Divining Scroll/ Sealed Scroll/ Forbidden Curse Scroll.
• Mora x755 000.
• Enhancement ore x605.

Advice : if there is a lack of materials, look into the Paimon’s Bargains - it has almost all the necessary resources in its assortment.

How to awaken Sacrificial Jade

To fully awaken the Sacrificial Jade, you need to get more four identical catalysts, and then select them as the pumping material. In addition to duplicates, you will need more 15 thousand mora. It is worth noting that the elevation of any weapon from BP - the process is not fast. Therefore, setting a goal to raise it to the 5th awakening, consider this feature and be patient.

How to play with Sacrificial Jade Catalyst

The rotation when playing with Sacrificial Jade has strict conditions, without observing which, you can easily miss a useful boost from his passive. Weapon bonuses indicate that its main benefit will be received by heroes playing out of pocket, or procasters who enter the field solely to squeeze their ultimate, after which they give way to other members of the squad. The mechanics of weapons has several nuances:

• At the start of a fight, do not start the game as a hero equipped with Sacrificial Jade minimum 5 seconds - after this time, the passive will begin to act.
• After receiving buffs, if it becomes necessary to summon the owner of the catalyst, do so no longer than 10 seconds. If you exceed the specified timing, the effect of the weapon will disappear.
• The bonus will not disappear until you overcome the threshold for the time the hero has been on the field.

To achieve the desired control of actions, try the following sequence:

• At the beginning of the battle, in the delayed 5 seconds, use the abilities of all members of the squad, except for the hero wearing Sacrificial Jade - he must remain in stock.
• Summon the owner of the catalyst and use his talents, but no longer than 10 seconds. Then return the character to your pocket and continue the battle for the allies.

Which characters to put Sacrificial Jade on

The specific mechanics of the Sacrificial Jade makes it a very situational weapon, as it does not fully suit any playable character at the time of the current version. So far, the main contenders for a BP gun are healers, for which the HP indicator is important, as well as support damage dealers (procasters and bursters who do not need to be on the battlefield for a long time) who will not refuse an increase in HK and mastery of the elements. Take a look at heroes like:

• Barbara. Both healing abilities of the heroine do not require her to run in the vanguard for a long time: the elemental skill will heal any active ally, and the ult immediately restores the health of the entire pack and will definitely not exceed the 10-second limit. As a healer, she will benefit from a health buff, and thanks to her passive role in the pack, Barbara will easily be able to implement the conditions for obtaining a boost.
• Sangonomiya Kokomi. The Catalyst will greatly buff not only her outgoing healing, but also increase her attack damage. Unfortunately, due to the minus crit chance, the weapon's lower stat is completely useless on Sangonomiya Kokomi, however, the MC bonus, combined with a good medusa Hydro status stack, can show up on teams playing with Vape Blow or Budding.
• Nahida. Dendro archon is very important element mastery stat. She is also able to contribute to the overall damage without being actively present on the field, so she can easily trigger the effect of the weapon bonus.
• Baizhu. It combines the skills of healing and buffing, so the use of weapons for it will be similar to the two previous heroines, and the MS parameter can be revealed in packs through Stimulation (but remember that Sacrificial Jade has a very small increase in ATK, so you will have to tighten this characteristic for the account of the lower stats of artifacts).
• Yae Miko. Due to the increase in MS, the catalyst will be useful for her in units with elemental reactions (for example, Stimulation). Given that the heroine will not play the role of the main damage dealer, the crit chance will balance the damage from her thunder sakura, but it is important to monitor the time the heroine is on the battlefield, and also take care of good ATK buffers.

The heroes listed above will be able to benefit from the Sacrificial Jade to varying degrees (the results also depend on the build of the cannon carriers). Another good weapon option would be for Lisa, but taking into account the speed of the animation of her attacks, you may not have time to return the heroine to the pocket, from which the weapon bonus will be reset. All other heroes attacking with the same type of weapon are unlikely to benefit from it.

The unique mechanics of the considered weapon suggests that it was created with a reserve for the future - new updates may introduce characters that can fully use the full potential of the catalyst, so stay tuned for updates to our article.

Remember : weapons require not only physical investments, but also financial costs. And given that it is far from universal, we advise you to carefully weigh all the risks before choosing Sacrificial Jade as a BP reward.
