Although the 2.3 version of Honkai Star Rail hasn't started yet, early leaks have given players a glimpse at what Jade might bring to the table. Her kit appears to focus heavily on follow-up attacks and support abilities:
| Rarity | 5-Star |
| Basic Attack | Deals Quantum DMG to a single target and adjacent targets |
| Skill | Applies the Nephrite effect to an ally, allowing Jade to deal with additional Quantum DMG when that ally attacks. Also increases the ally's SPD. |
| Ultimate | Deals Quantum DMG to all enemies and grants Enhanced Follow-Up charges for extra damage on Jade's follow-up attacks. |
| Talent | Enemies provide Jade with Credits when attacked by allies with Nephrite or when hit by Jade's Basic ATK/Ultimate. At certain Credit thresholds, Jade unleashes a powerful AOE follow-up attack. She also gains Jadeite stacks to boost her ATK. |
