All of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Traces.

After engaging enemies in the dimension, he deals Fire damage equal to 100% of his attack to all enemies and has a 100% base chance of applying one Ashen Roast stack. Only one dimension created by allies can exist at the same time.
- Bonus Trace 1: Pyre Cleanse - When a Field exists, the enemies' Effect Hit Rate is reduced by 30%, and at the start of each turn, they receive additional Fire damage equal to 150% of Jiaoqiu's attack.
