Best Echo Sets for Jianxin

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

The 5 pc. Moonlit Clouds set makes Jianxin lean towards a more supportive build by increasing her Energy Regen Rate and by buffing the next character used after her Outro Skill. Note that this set is best used on a more rotation heavy or Resonance Liberation focused team comp.

Sierra Gale
5pc
Sierra Gale

A 5 pc. Sierra Gale set makes Jianxin lean towards a more offensive build by increasing the damage of her Aero attacks.

Sierra Gale
2pc
Sierra Gale
Lingering Tunes
2pc
Lingering Tunes

Use this set if you don't have a 5 pc. set with the ideal stats. This will give her a good balance of generic Aero and ATK Boosts. Optionally, you could also replace Lingering Tunes with Moonlit Clouds if you want extra Energy Regen instead of ATK.

Jianxin's Best Primary Echo

Impermanence Heron

Impermanence Heron

Restores Jianxin's Resonance Energy so she can cast her Ultimate more. Increases the next character's DMG dealt, good for a semi-support role for Jiaxin.

Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

Best Tips & Tricks for Jianxin

Focus on upgrading her Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation above her other skills, as majority of her heals, shields, and damage come from these two abilities.
Jianxin can double as an off-tank thanks to her Resonance Skill being able to absorb attacks and her Forte Circuit healing her and reducing damage taken.
You essentially want to get about 140% Energy Regen on her at S0 due to her slow rotations; an Energy Regen 3-COST is viable, but recommended to get via sub-stats instead.

Best Teams for Jianxin

Jianxin Full Aero Team

Jianxin is a great Sub-DPS for someone like Iuno, a new Aero character that majorly scales off Resonance Liberation. This synergy works because Iuno can make use of Jianxin's Outro Skill that provides Resonance Liberation DMG Amplification. Rover Aero is chosen to be the defacto healer-support for the team to facilitate the usage of Rejuvenating Glow and provide additional Aero DMG Bonus on the side.

Start the battle with Aero Rover, and use their internal rotations to gain Concerto Energy. Don't forget to use their Resonance Skill to deal aerial attacks that will heal the party and trigger the Rejuvenating Glow effect. Swap to Jianxin afterwards., Cycle through Jianxin's kit to build her Forte Gauge. Use Jianxin's Forte Circuit to gain a shield, and her Resonance Liberation to group enemies. Then, swap to Iuno with full Concerto Energy., With Jianxin's Outro Skill buff, build up to and use Iuno's optimal rotations. Make sure to maximize damage by managing Sentience., When Concerto Energy is max and after casting Absolute Fullness, swap back to Aero Rover. Note that even though Iuno provides Heavy Attack DMG Amplification to the next Resonator that comes in, Aero Rover won't be able to use it., Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

Jianxin General Team

Jianxin is viable as a sub-DPS for any Resonance Liberation DMG-based DPS unit like Xiangli Yao. She fits into these teams quite well, as she is essentially a jack-of-all-trades unit with her ability to provide additional sustain and buffs.

Initiate with Shorekeeper and build up her Resonance and Concerto gauges with her internal combos. Then, cast her Liberation and activate Stellarealm when available. Once Concerto is full, switch out to Jianxin., Cycle through Jianxin's kit to build her Forte Gauge. Once full, hold her attack and use her Forte Circuit to gain a shield, followed up by her Resonance Liberation to group enemies. Then, swap to Xiangli Yao via Outro., As Xiangli Yao, maximize Jianxin's Resonance Liberation DMG buff by going through his combos to build up his Resonance Energy., Once available, activate his Liberation and enter the Intuition state. Aim to use his Resonance Skill three times before the state ends to deal optimal damage and fill his Concerto gauge. Lastly, switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm., Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.
