Jiaoqiu’s attacks can inflict enemies with “Ashen Roast,” a debuff that functions similarly to Burn. Stacking Ashen Roast increases the damage enemies take.

When Jiaoqiu unleashes his ultimate, the battlefield transforms into a giant hot pot, intensifying the Ashen Roast effect on afflicted enemies based on the number of stacks.
