Jade in Honkai Star Rail is a senior manager of the IPC Strategic Investment Department, who has recently manifested in a Trailblaze Mission after months of being a leaked entity. She was later revealed in the drip marketing campaign, which further sets her up to be an upcoming playable unit in patch 2.3. Due to this, players are likely to wonder whether she will be worth pulling in the future.
Although the majority of her kit is still under speculation, a clear picture can be drawn regarding her pull value based on the available leaks and she is definitely worth pulling. So, let’s look at her potential gameplay and team role to determine whether she is worth summoning in the forthcoming update.

Jade’s pull value in Honkai Star Rail, based on leaks
For starters, Honkai Star Rail’s drip marketing campaign revealed Jade as an upcoming 5-star unit from the Quantum roster that treads on the Erudition Path. Her character type alone is indicative of her DPS role for future teams.
According to the database of HomDGCat, a credible third-party source, Jade can activate her Skill to apply a Nephrite effect on an ally, boosting their SPD while consuming a portion of their Max HP. When the marked teammate attacks an enemy, she deals additional Quantum DMG to the target.
The property of the Nephrite effect itself brings a fresh gameplay element to the title, something many players will prefer in a turn-based combat.
Jade’s Ultimate deals Quantum DMG to all enemies, and she gains a number of enhanced Follow-up-Attack (FuA) charges. The charges will be consumed to add extra damage to her FuA. Now, HSR has been providing solid characters that utilize this auto-attack mechanic, and Jade might just be one of them.
However, players either love or hate the Follow-up-Attack so determining her pull-value will totally boil down to preference.
This brings us to Jade’s potential Talent, which ultimately enables her to unleash a follow-up dealing Quantum DMG. The mechanic is triggered once she reaches a certain number of Credit, generated whenever allies with the Nephrite effect attack an enemy.
Should you pull for Jade in Honkai Star Rail?
Based on Jade’s leaked kit in Honkai Star Rail, it can be concluded that she is definitely worth pulling, as her gameplay loop appears to be quite unique. However, her damage Max HP consumption brings in a risk element, which you might find difficult to tackle considering many bosses are capable of nuking a vulnerable character.
Nevertheless, it is still too early to speculate how she will perform in the future, and summoning her will be up to your discretion.
