This may not be THAT OP but this version makes him a good Sub-DPS (at E2) not only for Acheron, a good DoT DPS and Burn detonator at E2, and some QoL and buffing capabilities.

Technique - I really want his Technique to be a Status Effect instead of Dimension. Dimension is TOO RESTRICTIVE. They should abolish the condition of only 1 Dimension can be used. If played on DoT team, you can't utilize his Technique as Hysilens takes the priority.

Skill - Made it AoE so it's easier to stack Ashen Roast on AoE contents, especially in PF. Also applies stacks on all enemies, not only primary target.

Ultimate - Some changes including Heal. First, the ULT vulnerability debuff is removed, but the other effects remain unchanged, doubling trigger count for more Acheron stacks. Second, High ULT DMG, greatly increasing his Sub-DPS potential especially for Acheron teams (OG Silverwolf has 380% ULT Multiplier, JQ should also have higher ULT Multiplier to be considered a Sub-DPS as he barely does any DMG). Third, the Healing. The healing trigger is based from Luocha's A2 Passive, but with slightly higher base heal. I based it on Luocha's as his heals scales off ATK.

Talent - Now his Ashen Roast stack focuses on vulnerability. ULT vulnerability from ULT removed, but the Talent now provides 60% vulnerability at max stacks. Also increased his Burn DoT at E0, he had lower Burn DoT than Guinaifen (218%).

Traces
A2 - Now provides more Energy at start. Small QoL is also added, where he gets advanced at the start of each wave (inspired from Moze's Trace).
A4 - Can now share ATK Bonus on allies, while Kafka requires the ally to have 75 EHR for 100% ATK increase, Jiaoqiu can share 50% of his Bonus ATK gained to allies, so 120% ATK increase at 240 EHR for allies.
A6 - Same A6 plus a new effect. His heal can also cleanse ally one time per Ultimate use.

Eidolons
E2 - This is where his gameplay changes, his DoT team is elevated so as his Sub-DPS Potential at none DoT team. I mean if Guinaifen can detonate Burn DoT, why Jiaoqiu can't right?
E4 - Minor addition, DMG Taken reduction for allies.

I always noticed how Jiaoqiu is the upgraded version of Guinaifen, but with lesser synergy with DoT. This time, his DoT team gets fixed, and his Burn DMG does more at E0.
These changes may not be that OP, but this makes him more useable than before and may also open up more team viability with other units. At E2, he becomes the Sustain for DoT team. Acheron Synergy is still there, allowing him to be a Sub-DPS and also deal DMG, not just buffing Acheron. 120% ATK increase for allies is also tied to his own EHR, unlike Kafka. And the for Healing for sustain, while not strong, can definitely help the team not only as a Sub-DPS dealing decent DMG, but also sustains the team.

If Nahida's Passive also increases nearby party member's EM instead of the active character, how good will she be especially for Lunar Bloom Reaction? Will she be decent for Burn as well? Will she enable more teams? Can she enable brute forcing endgame outside specific bosses that require specific element/reaction?

Something like: "The EM of the active character nearby party members within the field will be increased by 25% of the EM of the party member with the highest EM. The member with the highest EM does not gain this effect."

If she ever gets a Buff (including some Sumeru characters), do you think she should have this kind of Passive which is not locked behind having 2 faction members (like Hexerei)?

Sucrose is unmatched, even the Dendro EM buffer does not provide team-wide EM buff like Sucrose does. Maybe the only saving grace is having a 5 star instructor than can proc even if the wearer is off-field.

What do you think of adding a "Bleed DMG" bonus Gene? I've been wondering this since Susannah was released. I thought we'll be getting one when Lunar Vow was released, yet until now, we didn't have a Gene Limit for Bleed. Should the game add a new Gene limit?
Also, the counterpart bonus is just a boost for any type of Trauma (Bleed, Rime, Fire, Lightning), similar effects provided by M Piece Stigma of Bastet, Cezanne, and Ai: Kurikara. Or maybe just similar SP restoration from Basic and Charged ATKS instead.
