Best Echo Sets for Jiyan

Sierra Gale
5pc
Sierra Gale

Sierra Gale 5-piece is Jiyan's best set — it increases Aero DMG (2pc and 5pc) which directly buffs his Heavy Attack/Qingloong damage. Pairs excellently with Nightmare: Feilian Beringal for stacked Aero & Heavy Attack bonuses.

Lingering Tunes

Lingering Tunes

Mixing 2pc Sierra Gale + 2pc Lingering Tunes keeps the Aero DMG boost while adding ATK from Lingering Tunes. Good interim option while farming a full Sierra Gale set.

Jiyan's Best Primary Echo

Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

Increases Jiyan's overall Aero DMG and Heavy Attack DMG — the ideal main echo to buff his Heavy Attack/Qingloong output. Use this when available (especially once Rinascita access is limited).

Feilian Beringal

Feilian Beringal

Good early-game option that provides Aero DMG and Heavy Attack DMG bonuses after its attack string. Works well until you can replace it with the Nightmare version. Downside: longer animation.

Cyan-Feathered Heron

Cyan-Feathered Heron

Simple early-game damage echo. Use it temporarily for straightforward damage but replace in endgame.

Best Tips & Tricks for Jiyan

Jiyan is a hypercarry Aero DPS whose Qingloong Mode (Resonance Liberation) and Heavy Attacks deal the majority of his damage — prioritize Resonance Liberation, then Forte Circuit and Resonance Skill.
Look for Energy Regen on Echo substats so Jiyan can enter Qingloong Mode more often; Energy Regen is top substat priority.
Build high CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG and ATK% on echoes to maximize Heavy Attack damage; main echo should be Nightmare: Feilian Beringal when available.
Use Sierra Gale (full 5-pc) for best Aero DMG scaling. As an interim option, use 2pc Sierra Gale + 2pc Lingering Tunes for ATK + Aero balance.
Verdant Summit is best-in-slot for maximum Heavy Attack DMG Bonus and CRIT DMG. If unavailable, pick weapons that boost CRIT/ATK or Energy Regen to improve Qingloong uptime.
Manage Resolve: generate Resolve via Normal Attacks and Intro Skill to consume for Forte Circuit effects and Emerald Storm: Finale. Keep Resolve near 30+ before casting Resonance Skill/Liberation to trigger bonuses.

Best Teams for Jiyan

Jiyan Heavy Attack Boost Team

Recommended Echo sets: Jiyan — Sierra Gale (5‑pc); Iuno — Crown of Valor (3‑pc) + Sierra Gale (2‑pc) optional; Shorekeeper — Rejuvenating Glow (5‑pc). You may substitute Gusts of Welkin or Windward Pilgrimage in place of Sierra Gale since they provide the same Aero DMG increase — choose based on available echoes. Iuno provides a major Heavy Attack DMG amplification (notably a large ~50% amplification for Heavy Attacks) and is the premier partner for Jiyan. Shorekeeper is recommended for team-wide damage buffs and sustain; other healer supports like Verina can be used if Shorekeeper is unavailable.

Start the battle with Shorekeeper and run through her combos before casting Stellarealm. Once her Concerto Gauge is filled, switch to Iuno., With Iuno on-field, cast Liberation to fill her Forte immediately. When her Forte is full, jump to enter the New Moon state, then do three Basic Attacks and two Enhanced Resonance Skills to consume Sentience and increase their DMG significantly., Once Iuno's Concerto is full, switch to Jiyan via her Outro Skill to receive the Heavy Attack DMG amplification., Use Jiyan's Resonance Liberation to enter Qingloong Mode and deal heavy damage with his Resonance Skill and Heavy Attacks while under Shorekeeper and Iuno's buffs., Continue fighting as Jiyan to charge Concerto Energy. When it's full, swap to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm. Repeat the cycle until the enemy is defeated.

Jiyan Aero Erosion Team

Recommended Echo sets: Jiyan — Sierra Gale (5‑pc); Ciaccona — Gusts of Welkin (5‑pc); Rover (Aero) — Windward Pilgrimage (5‑pc). This team centers on applying Aero Erosion to debuff enemies and stacking Aero DMG buffs (Ciaccona + Rover). Ciaccona supplies the Erosion stacks and multiple Aero buffs; Aero Rover functions as a secondary sub-DPS, off-field healer, and support. Shorekeeper is a viable support replacement if needed.

Initiate with Ciaccona and generate Ensemble Sylphs while applying Aero Erosion stacks to enemies. When her Concerto is filled, switch to Aero Rover., Let Aero Rover run their rotations and deal damage quickly. When Unbound Flow is available, cast it and then switch back to Ciaccona once her Outro is up to increase the Erosion stack limit., With Ciaccona on-field again, apply more Erosion stacks with her skills and perform a Solo Concert during combos to boost team Aero DMG., Once Ciaccona's Forte bar is filled, cast a Heavy Attack to group enemies and deal damage, then use her Resonance Liberation to deal off-field damage before switching to Jiyan., On-field, have Jiyan cast Resonance Liberation and enter Qingloong Mode. Maximize Aero DMG buffs from Ciaccona and Aero Rover and deal high AoE damage., Repeat the rotation until all enemies are defeated. If Jiyan is low on HP, switch to Aero Rover for healing via Cloudburst Dance and their Resonance Liberation.

Jiyan Free-to-Play Team

Recommended Echo sets: Jiyan — Sierra Gale (5‑pc); Yangyang — Moonlit Clouds (5‑pc); Baizhi — Rejuvenating Glow (5‑pc). This F2P composition relies on Yangyang providing Resonance Energy to let Jiyan use Resonance Liberation sooner. The third slot can be Baizhi or any other healer/support you have available.

Start with Yangyang and charge Concerto Energy until resonator icons glow. Use her Resonance Liberation to group small enemies if needed., Once Jiyan is fully charged, switch to him so he can use his Intro Skill — switching from Yangyang to Jiyan will restore Jiyan's Resonance Energy., Use Jiyan's Resonance Liberation to enter Qingloong Mode and deal high damage with his Resonance Skill and Heavy Attacks., When Concerto Energy is full again, switch back to Yangyang. If healing is required, switch to Baizhi and use their healing skill., Repeat the rotation until enemies are defeated.
