Introduction
Welcome to the complete Jackie guide, within this guide you will find info about Jackie and how to play her. First lets introduce Jackie herself!


Jacquline "Jackie" Quilt was originally the first character everyone had in Eternal Return: Black Survival (noted as ER:BS from henceforth) and is a melee brawler most known for her relatively high mobility.

The game is always undergoing updates and it can often take some time for information to be gathered or updated. If at any time you feel the exact stats or info in this guide is behind, refer to the wiki, patch notes or another reputable information source

Jackie's Skills & Weapons
Jackie's role is a "Brawler" specializing in close range, elongated fights, but is vulnerable to ranged encounters. Let's take a look at the skills that give her this role.

Main Skills

Hack & Slash (Q) Jackie swings twice in a small cone in front of her, each swing dealing moderate damage and applying a bleed damage over time effect to her target(s)



Adrenaline Burst (W) Jackie gains a burst of speed and a flat heal on each attack for a short time. She also gains slightly more speed and increased skill damage when chasing bleeding enemies.


Leaping Strike (E) Jackie jumps towards the cursor, slowing enemies when she lands. Bleeding enemies are slowed more. It's important to note that this skill lets you jump over walls/obstacles, but does not go above enemy skills or traps.


Chainsaw Murderer (R) Jackie draws her chainsaw, applying a bleed on attacks and increasinges her attack speed for 15 seconds. At the end of the duration, the chainsaw will explode, dealing damage around Jackie. She can also manually end the buff 7 seconds after activating the skill, activating the explosion early. The explosion is delayed occur if Jackie is stunned or silenced. It will NOT occur if she is downed or killed.

Bloodfest (Passive) Jackie gains a % increase to her Attack Power for a decent duration after killing something. Killing Bears, Androids, or other Survivors gives a stronger buff than other animals

Weapon Skills

Jackie has access to 4 weapon types, currently the most of any ER:BS character. Each different weapon type grants a different weapon skill which is unlocked at Level 7 Weapon Mastery, and is upgraded at Level 14 Weapon Mastery.

Dagger
Daggers are a small but fast weapon, typically granting decent attack power and movement speed bonuses.
Cloak & Dagger is the weapon skill for daggers. The skill cloaks Jackie for 2 seconds, making her invisible unless players have detection such as cameras or certain abilities, as well as granting a large movement speed boost during the skill. It can also be reactivated within a short time to teleport behind a target and auto attack them.

Dual Swords
Dual Swords are the most brawl proficient weapon for Jackie, However you often leave yourself vulnerable in encounters your cannot commit to. They are notable for hitting twice for every Auto-Attack, making them powerful Auto-Attack based weapons.
Dual-Swords Rampage is the weapon skill for Dual-Swords. Jackie will walk slowly in a short path and wildly slash with her swords, dealing 6 instances of damage quickly. If she hits with at least 4 of the 6 slashes she can reactivate the weapon skill to dash and deal considerable damage.

Two-Handed
Two-Handed weapons are a great balance between offense and defense for Jackie as she gains a blocking skill her kit lacks. Two-Handed is typically built using Auto-Attack based items and is used as a true brawler to rush down your enemies.
Parry is the weapon skill for Two-Handed weapons. Jackie stops for .75 seconds and shields herself with her sword, becoming unstoppable and blocking all damage before making a lancing strike forward. This skill is best used to block an intense damage skill you know is coming, or to prevent being stunned, silenced, or otherwise slowed by an enemy skill.

Axe
Axes are strong hitters, but are slow to strike. Making slightly delayed attacks thier staple.
Maleficent Helix is the weapon skill for Axes. After attacking 4 times (3 If Upgraded) she can activate it to deal a large mount of damage in a small AOE as well as heal her. This has no cooldown and can be used to greatly boost your damage output.

Closeing Statements
It's important to remember that
Skill comes with time and practice.
Each person learns at a different pace.
Someone, inevitably, has to be the first to lose the game.

There are many things to learn about ER:BS but the most important thing to remember is that first, and foremost ER:BS is a game. Learn to have fun!

Shoutout to Jynx for their awesome guide on Sua. I hope that the rest of the characters will someday get guides as good as this one!

Shoutout to Dest for thier guide on Alex, who at the moment is a very complicated combo character! Another large guide for a character and I hope to see more!

Jackie focuses on dealing damage with her auto attacks and only uses Q for animal farming or to apply bleed. the bleed is used to make W give its full effect, at which point the cooldown for Q is already low enough compared to Ws cooldown.
Q used to be maxed first in order to farm animals on dagger and amp builds, but isnt nearly as common anymore

Thanks for the guide! Could you explain why hack and slash has such a low priority? I'm pretty new and I've been prioritizing it rather high
Saltygrease  [author] 17 Mar, 2022 @ 4:34pm 
@BottomScorer X/10 are unrated skills, and the rating is just there as a placeholder, unfortunately i'm getting alot of work IRL right now so don't have the time/energy to work on the guide as much.

many are X/10 WDYM?
