Verified 1.1 level: 57
Jade patrols the roads of Dunley Farmlands.
Use V Blood tracking to locate her current position rather than assuming she will appear at one fixed point.
Because she roams, the location where you begin the fight matters considerably.
Look for a relatively open stretch of road with enough room to dodge her ranged attacks.
Nearby rocks, trees and other obstacles can provide useful cover, but avoid positioning yourself somewhere that restricts your movement.
Check for militia patrols and other roaming V Blood bosses before engaging.
A particularly unfortunate way to fight Jade is to accidentally involve another vampire hunter. One is quite enough.
Shot: Jade's basic ranged firearm attack.
Silence Shot: a red bullet that temporarily prevents attacks if it connects.
Caltrops: ground hazards that damage and stun when stepped on.
Bomb: dropped at close range to punish players who stay beside her.
Invisibility: Jade briefly disappears and repositions.
Deadeye: a tracking precision shot telegraphed by her voice line.
Machine Gun: a rapid six-shot sequence used from roughly half health.
Chaos Barrage: four Chaos projectiles used in the later fight.
Locate Jade and choose your engagement point.
Begin with ranged damage, then observe her first attack.
Avoid immediately charging towards her.
Where available, use natural obstacles to interrupt her line of fire.
When Jade begins aiming, prepare to move.
Avoid dodging unnecessarily early.
A well-timed change of direction is often more valuable than continuously sprinting around the battlefield.
When explosives appear, prioritise leaving the affected area.
Don't remain in place to finish another Longbow attack.
If Jade combines ranged pressure with an explosive, preserve Veil for the more dangerous part of the sequence.
After Jade finishes a major attack, use the opportunity to approach.
Deliver a short Greatsword combination and retreat before she begins another ranged attack.
Avoid chasing her into unexplored sections of Dunley.
Use Chaos Volley and your Longbow between her attacks.
Your objective is consistent damage rather than attempting to overwhelm her through prolonged melee combat.
Keep enough health and defensive options to survive another ranged combination.
Don't abandon your established strategy simply because Jade has little health remaining.
On Brutal, Jade fires more aggressively and her regular firearm pressure can inflict additional control effects, often following her Silence shot. Use open terrain, preserve movement for Deadeye or rapid-fire sequences and do not chase through caltrops or explosives.
Jade unlocks Veil of Chaos, the Advanced Blood Press, Primal Blood Essence, Elixir of the Crow and Pistols.
