Best Echo Sets for Jianxin

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

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.

Sierra Gale
5pc
Sierra Gale

More offensive option that increases her Aero damage, suitable if you want Jianxin to lean into damage rather than team energy/support.

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

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

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

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.

Best Tips & Tricks for Jianxin

Prioritize leveling Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation first (highest impact for healing/shields, grouping, and damage).
Aim for ~140% Energy Regen at S0 to maintain consistent Ultimate uptime; try to get Energy Regen from substats if possible.
Use Moonlit Clouds 5-pc for a support/sub-DPS playstyle — it improves Energy Regen and buffs the next character after her Outro.
Verity's Handle and Moongazer's Sigil are top weapon choices due to Resonance Liberation synergy; Abyss Surges and Marcato are good 4-star alternatives for Energy Regen and rotation smoothing.
Use Resonance Skill parry to absorb attacks and generate Chi; Forte Circuit grants shields and healing, allowing Jianxin to off-tank.
If you want a damage-focused Jianxin, use Nightmare: Feilian Beringal and a Sierra Gale set to maximize Aero DMG.

Best Teams for Jianxin

Jianxin Full Aero Team

Recommended Echo/sets: Iuno – Crown of Valor (3pc) + Sierra Gale (2pc); Jianxin – Moonlit Clouds (5pc); Rover (Aero) – Rejuvenating Glow (5pc). Jianxin is a strong Sub-DPS for Iuno because her Outro grants Resonance Liberation DMG amplification; Aero Rover selected for healing + extra Aero DMG bonus.

Start on Aero Rover. Use Rover's rotations to build Concerto Energy; use their Resonance Skill to deal aerial attacks, heal the party, and trigger Rejuvenating Glow., Swap to Jianxin and cycle her kit to build her Forte Gauge. Use Forte Circuit for a shield and use Resonance Liberation to group enemies., Swap to Iuno with full Concerto Energy and Jianxin's Outro buff. Build Iuno's optimal rotations and manage Sentience to maximize damage., When Concerto Energy is max and after casting Absolute Fullness, swap back to Aero Rover. Note: Rover cannot use Iuno's Heavy Attack DMG Amplification despite it applying to the next Resonator., Repeat the cycle until enemies are defeated.

Jianxin General Team

Recommended Echo/sets: Xiangli Yao – Void Thunder (5pc); Jianxin – Moonlit Clouds (5pc); Shorekeeper – Rejuvenating Glow (5pc). Jianxin fits well as a utility Sub-DPS for Resonance Liberation-based main DPS like Xiangli Yao, offering sustain and damage amplification via her Outro.

Start with Shorekeeper and build Resonance and Concerto gauges through her combos. Cast her Liberation and activate Stellarealm when available; when Concerto is full, switch to Jianxin., On Jianxin, build Forte Gauge. Use Forte Circuit to gain a shield, then use Resonance Liberation to group enemies and swap to Xiangli Yao via Jianxin's Outro., As Xiangli Yao, maximize the Resonance Liberation DMG buff by running his combos to build Resonance Energy., Activate Xiangli Yao's Liberation and enter Intuition; aim to use his Resonance Skill multiple times during the state to deal optimal damage and fill Concerto. Swap back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm., Repeat until the encounter is finished.
