Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Jericho — Hero Guide

The Rapier identity is punishing Chilled and Frozen enemies. The passive Glacial Barrage grants +3% Crit Damage every time she hits a Chilled or Frozen target, stacking up to 25 times for a massive +75% Crit Damage. On top of that, Frostfang Stab, Ice Blade Dance and the Ultimate all gain +50% Crit Chance against those targets, so once the enemy is frozen Jericho crits constantly with rapidly inflating Crit Damage.

The kit also self-accelerates: hits on frozen targets shave the Normal Skill cooldown (2 sec per hit on Frostfang Stab, plus the Ultimate refunds Special and Normal Skill cooldowns). Glacial Blitz is a high 451% Ultimate. The path is fully self-sufficient damage-wise but depends entirely on the enemy being Chilled/Frozen — run it with Cold support that applies those statuses.

Lance turns Jericho into a Cold-team anchor. Ice Rock grants the whole team a barrier worth 20% of Max HP and, while she already holds a barrier, adds +20% Cold damage for all allies — so she protects and amplifies at once. The passive Frozen Protection rewards keeping a barrier up: while she is shielded, every hit grants allies Frozen Breath (Defense + Fire/Earth Defense), stacking up to ten times, and at max it layers an extra +20% Cold damage.

Her Ultimate, Ice Field, deals 214%, Freezes the target for 6 seconds and scales up by 10% per Frozen Breath stack, while the Tag skill tops the team up with more barriers and Frozen Breath. Personal damage is low — this is a defensive support that turns an Ice composition into a durable, hard-hitting unit.

Dual Swords is built around Frozen Saber. Weapon Enchantment grants it for 10 seconds: while active, every Normal Attack teleports Jericho behind the enemy for bonus damage and +20 Burst Gauge, and Ice Twin Dance's final strike adds a further +300 Burst Gauge. The Ultimate, Ice Needle, gains +40% of damage dealt per hit while Frozen Saber is up, so the window is both a Burst-feeding and a damage spike.

The passive Frozen Edge ties it to Cold-Burst play: activating her Cold Burst strips 25% Cold Resistance off the enemy for 30 seconds and refunds a Tag Point. It is a Buster that accelerates the team's Burst economy and softens targets for Cold damage — strong inside a Cold-Burst composition, weaker outside one.

Across all three paths the pattern is the same: odd levels (1, 3, 8) are flat Attack / Defense / Max HP, while even levels are the meaningful skill amplifiers. You feel the jumps at the amp levels, so prioritise reaching them.

The universal pick is Black Flame Wings (activating a Burst → +28% Attack and +6% Crit Chance for 10 sec), available on the Rapier, Lance and Dual Swords weapon types — strong on the Rapier carry, which already crits hard against frozen targets. The Gluttonous Soul Rapier adds +40% Crit Damage on the Special Attack (useful for the crit-stacking Rapier), but its Wind Burst Efficiency half is off-element for an Ice hero. On the support/Warden paths, raw-damage weapons matter less than her barriers and team buffs.

Which Jericho weapon should I build first?

Rapier if you want a standalone carry — it crits hard and ramps +75% Crit Damage against Chilled/Frozen targets. Lance if your account needs a Cold-team barrier Warden, and Dual Swords for a Burst-gauge Buster that shreds Cold Resistance. All three want the enemy frozen, so build whichever role your Cold team lacks.

Why does Jericho need Chill or Freeze on the enemy?

Her Rapier path's crit core (Glacial Barrage +75% Crit Damage, +50% Crit Chance on skills, cooldown refunds) only triggers against Chilled or Frozen targets. Her own Lance Ultimate Freezes, and Cold teammates can apply Chill, so she is built to be played inside an Ice composition.

Is the Lance path good?

Inside a Cold team it is strong: Ice Rock grants the team a 20%-Max-HP barrier and +20% Cold damage while she is shielded, the passive stacks Frozen Breath defenses, and the Ultimate Freezes for 6 seconds. Outside a Cold composition the buffs fall off — it is a build-around support.

Does Jericho have Combined-Attack partners?

Her in-game data ships no Combined-Attack pairings at the time of writing, so this guide does not list a fixed combo set. Use the live community teams below to see which compositions players actually run her in.

What does her world passive do?

Ice Field freezes water in a radius while spending Stamina, letting her cross water on foot. It is a pure traversal/exploration utility with no combat effect — it does not change her damage.
