Jiaoqiu
Who is Jiaoqiu?
Jiaoqiu is a 5★ Fire support of the Nihility Path and, as of Patch 4.2, a premium debuffer and Acheron's premier amplifier (source: Prydwen). He stacks Ashen Roast on enemies — a Fire DoT that also raises the damage they take (Vulnerability) — which Acheron own kit lacks.
Kit Summary

Pyrograph Arcanum sets Ashen Roast to the battlefield maximum and deploys a Zone where enemies take +15% Ultimate DMG.
Acheron premier amplifier and Slashed Dream generator; needs Effect Hit Rate so Ashen Roast lands.
