Wuthering Waves Jianxin Build Guide
Jianxin, a Taoist monk and successor of <te href=850134>Fengyiquan</te>, has dedicated her life to mastering the ultimate martial art. With the power to harness and transform environmental Chi, she can create protective barriers that purify both body and mind.
Best Echo Sets for Jianxin
Best set for the sub-DPS/support build: increases Energy Regen and buffs the next character after her Outro, leaning Jianxin towards energy/support and enhancing team Resonance Liberation damage.
More offensive option that increases her Aero damage, suitable if you want Jianxin to lean into damage rather than team energy/support.
Fallback if you lack a 5-pc set. Provides a balance 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
Restores Jianxin's Resonance Energy so she can cast her Ultimate more often and increases the next character's damage — great for semi-support / rotation-heavy teams.
Nightmare: Feilian Beringal
Increases Jianxin's Aero DMG. Great when using her more offensively as a damage dealer. Use this if you prefer damage over energy/support or if you don't have Rinascita.
