[Bodily Furnace] effect adjusted: Every time after J’s attack successfully inflicts [Burn], J grants the same number of [Burn] stacks to self (triggers even when the inflicted stacks overflow). Self becomes immune to [Burn] damage, and own [Burn] stacks are no longer depleted on resolution. [Bodily Furnace I]>[Bodily Furnace III] effect adjusted: At the start of the round, based on the number of [Burn] stacks on self, the following effects are applied and can each be granted multiple times: If stacks ≥ 10: Grant all allies DMG Taken Reduction +1% per stack of [Burn] for 1 round. If stacks ≥ 20: Dispel all [Neg Status] except [Burn] and 1 type of [Stats Down] or [Control] from self and dispel 1 type of [Neg Status], [Stats Down], or [Control] from all other allies.

| 3 | [Over the Haight Street!] deals additional Reality DMG equal to 100% of the base Reality DMG.

If the target already holds a Shield, the new Shield value is stacked onto the existing Shield, up to a maximum of J’s ATK x600%. [Tempering] deals additional Reality DMG equal to 900% of the base Reality DMG, and no longer deals additional Reality DMG based on Missing HP. Instead, for every stack of [Burn] on self, deals additional Reality DMG equal to 50% of the original Missing HP-based bonus. After attacking, grants all allies a Shield with (J’s ATK x90%) Shield value. If the target already holds a Shield, the new Shield value is stacked onto the existing Shield, up to a maximum of J’s ATK x600%.

J Playstyle And Combat Role Analysis
J is a sustain character of the Riposte archetype and Beast Afflatus whose skill kit and abilities revolves around setting up powerful sustaining buffs and shielding for the entire team while also counterattacking enemies whenever the team is attacked when they have shielding.
J’s main Incantation Skill is his 2nd Skill, which allows him to set up an entire team with a big shield buff and reduces the damage taken by the entire team. Additionally, he grants himself the counterattack buff, which allows him to deal an instance of AoE damage against all enemies whenever an ally with shield is attacked, allowing him to deal powerful damage to enemies based on how low his HP is. Additionally, his Riposte attacks will inflict burn on the enemies and allow him to gain burn on himself, the more burn stacks he has on himself, the less damage he takes and the more damage deal.
Upon accumulating enough Moxie, J can unleash his Ultimate, dealing massive amounts of damage and inflict multiple Burn stacks on enemies based on his own Burn stacks. The more Burn stacks he has, the more damage this attack will deal.
Best Psychubes And Resonance Build
Best Psychubes
As a Support Sustain character for the Riposte Archetype, J wants Psychubes that can help boost his sustain effect further and boost his counterattack damage output.

Should You Roll For Extra J Portraits
