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 Sierra Gale with Gusts of Welkin or Windward Pilgrimage on Iuno if you lack Sierra Gale echoes (they provide the same Aero DMG increase). Iuno is the premier Heavy Attack DMG buffer for Jiyan (provides a large ~50% amplification), making her the ideal partner. Shorekeeper offers team-wide damage buffs and strong sustain; Verina is a valid healer/buffer replacement if needed.

Start the battle with Shorekeeper and run through her combos, then cast Stellarealm. When her Concerto Gauge is filled, switch to Iuno., With Iuno on-field, cast Liberation to fill her Forte immediately. Once Forte is full, enter New Moon state, perform three Basic Attacks and two Enhanced Resonance Skills to consume Sentience and increase their DMG., When Iuno's Concerto is full, use her Outro Skill to switch to Jiyan and grant Heavy Attack DMG amplification., Use Jiyan's Resonance Liberation to enter Qingloong Mode and output high damage with Resonance Skill and Heavy Attacks while under Shorekeeper and Iuno buffs., Continue charging Concerto Energy as Jiyan; when full, swap to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm. Repeat this loop 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 (Ciaccona) and amplifying Aero DMG on Jiyan. Aero Rover serves as a secondary damage source and sustain provider.

Initiate with Ciaccona to generate Ensemble Sylphs and apply Aero Erosion stacks. When her Concerto is filled, switch to Aero Rover., Use Aero Rover's rotations to deal damage and, when available, cast Unbound Flow. Then switch back to Ciaccona when her Outro is ready to increase the Erosion stack limit., With Ciaccona on-field again, apply more Erosion stacks and perform a Solo Concert during combos to boost Aero DMG for the team., When Ciaccona's Forte is full, use a Heavy Attack to group enemies and deal damage, then cast Resonance Liberation for off-field damage before switching to Jiyan., On-field, have Jiyan cast Resonance Liberation and enter Qingloong Mode; maximize Aero DMG using buffs from Ciaccona and Aero Rover to deal high AoE damage., If Jiyan is low on HP or you need sustain, switch to Aero Rover for heals via Cloudburst Dance and Resonance Liberation. Repeat the loop until enemies are defeated.

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 to supply Resonance Energy so Jiyan can use Resonance Liberation more frequently; any reliable healer can fill the third slot.

Start with Yangyang and charge Concerto Energy until Resonator icons are ready; use Yangyang's Resonance Liberation to group small enemies if needed., Once Jiyan is 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 heavy damage with Resonance Skill and Heavy Attacks., Switch back to Yangyang to continue charging Concerto Energy. If healing is needed, switch to Baizhi for a quick heal., Repeat the cycle until the enemy is defeated.
