Best Echo Sets for Jianxin

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

The 5-piece Moonlit Clouds set increases Jianxin's Energy Regen Rate and buffs the next character after her Outro Skill, leaning her towards a supportive/sub-DPS role. Best used in rotation-heavy or Resonance Liberation-focused comps.

Sierra Gale
5pc
Sierra Gale

A 5-piece Sierra Gale set pushes Jianxin towards a more offensive build by increasing her Aero damage. Good when you want more raw DPS from her.

Lingering Tunes

Lingering Tunes

Use this 2+2 option if you don't have a full 5-piece set with ideal stats. It provides a balanced mix of Aero and ATK boosts. Optionally replace Lingering Tunes with Moonlit Clouds for 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 often. Also increases the next character's DMG dealt, making Jianxin an effective semi-support/sub-DPS.

Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

Increases Jianxin's overall Aero DMG. Great when using Jianxin more offensively as a damage dealer. Use Feilian Beringal when focusing on damage rather than energy/support.

Best Tips & Tricks for Jianxin

Jianxin excels as a Sub-DPS because her Resonance Liberation groups enemies and her Outro amplifies the next character's Resonance Liberation DMG.
Build for ~140% Energy Regen at S0 if possible due to her slow rotations; aim to obtain Energy Regen from substats first, though a 3-cost main stat Energy Regen is a viable alternative.
Use Impermanence Heron to restore Resonance Energy and increase the next character's damage — great on support/rotation teams.
Moonlit Clouds 5-piece is the preferred set for a support/sub-DPS playstyle because it increases Energy Regen and buffs the next character after Outro.
If you want a more offensive Jianxin, use Nightmare: Feilian Beringal + Sierra Gale 5-piece to boost Aero DMG.
Upgrade priorities: prioritize Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation first (they provide most heals, shields, and damage), then Normal Attack and Resonance Skill, and upgrade Intro last.
Forte Circuit doubles as off-tank: it provides strong shields, heals, and damage reduction while active — useful if you lack a dedicated shielder/healer.
Moongazer's Sigil and Verity's Handle are top weapon choices because they interact well with Resonance Liberation and energy/DMG mechanics; Abyss Surges and Marcato are good alternatives for Energy Regen and smoother rotations.

Best Teams for Jianxin

Jianxin Full Aero Team

Jianxin is a strong Sub-DPS paired with Iuno because her Outro provides Resonance Liberation DMG amplification which Iuno (a Resonance Liberation-scaling DPS) uses well. Aero Rover is chosen as the team healer-support to enable Rejuvenating Glow and to grant additional Aero DMG Bonus while providing sustain.

Start the battle on Aero Rover. Use their internal rotations to build Concerto Energy; use their Resonance Skill to deal aerial attacks that heal the party and trigger the Rejuvenating Glow effect. Swap to Jianxin afterwards., Cycle Jianxin's kit to build her Forte Gauge. Use her Forte Circuit to gain a shield, then use her Resonance Liberation to group enemies. Swap to Iuno once Concerto Energy is full., With Jianxin's Outro buff active, execute Iuno's optimal rotations — manage Sentience and build to Iuno's best damage windows., When Concerto Energy is max and after casting Absolute Fullness, swap back to Aero Rover to refresh healing/utility; note Aero Rover cannot use Iuno's Heavy Attack DMG amplification on the next Resonator., Repeat the rotation until the enemy is defeated.

Jianxin General Team

Jianxin functions as a flexible Sub-DPS for any Resonance Liberation DMG-based Main DPS (like Xiangli Yao). She provides sustain, grouping, and Resonance Liberation amplification, making her a good fit in general Resonance Liberation teams.

Begin on Shorekeeper: build her Resonance and Concerto gauges using internal combos. Cast her Liberation and activate Stellarealm when available. Once Concerto is full, switch to Jianxin., Cycle Jianxin to build her Forte Gauge. When full, use Forte Circuit for a shield, then Resonance Liberation to group enemies; swap to the Main DPS (Xiangli Yao) via Jianxin's Outro., As Xiangli Yao, maximize damage with Jianxin's Resonance Liberation buff — run his combos to build Resonance Energy., When available, activate Xiangli Yao's Liberation and enter Intuition state. Use his Resonance Skill multiple times during the state to optimize damage and fill Concerto, then switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm., Repeat the rotation until the encounter is finished.
