Best Echo Sets for Jiyan
Sierra Gale is Jiyan's best Echo set as he benefits from the increase in Aero DMG provided by the 2-pc and 5-pc bonuses. Together with Nightmare: Feilian Beringal, he gets two more passive buffs to his Aero DMG and Heavy Attack DMG Bonuses.
Mixing in a 2pc Lingering Tunes provides a good increase in ATK while keeping the Aero DMG bonus from Sierra Gale. Do this if you're still farming for a full set of Sierra Gale with great sub-stats.
Jiyan's Best Primary Echo
Nightmare: Feilian Beringal
Increases Jiyan's overall Aero DMG and Heavy Attack DMG. The perfect main echo for buffing Jiyan's attacks as much as possible. Use Feilian Beringal while you don't have access to Rinascita.
Feilian Beringal
As an early game option, Jiyan's best main echo should be Feilian Beringal as it provides decent Aero DMG and Heavy Attack DMG Bonuses after its attack string. A downside to this echo is its long attack animation. Recommended to replace with its Nightmare version once Rinascita is accessible.
Cyan-Feathered Heron
An early game echo for Jiyan, perfect for just dealing damage when needed. Change to a better echo towards the endgame.
