Best Echo Sets for Jianxin

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

Best — leans Jianxin toward a supportive/sub-DPS playstyle by increasing Energy Regen and buffing the next character after her Outro. Best on rotation-heavy or Resonance Liberation-focused comps.

Sierra Gale
5pc
Sierra Gale

Second best — favors a more offensive build by increasing Aero damage, suitable if you want Jianxin to deal more damage herself.

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

Use if you lack a 5-pc optimum set. Provides a balanced mix of Aero and ATK boosts. Optionally swap Lingering Tunes for Moonlit Clouds if you prefer extra Energy Regen.

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 a semi-support/sub-DPS role.

Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

Increases Jianxin's overall Aero DMG. Good when using her as a primary damage dealer or when focusing on Aero scaling.

Best Tips & Tricks for Jianxin

Jianxin functions well as a Sub-DPS because her Resonance Liberation groups enemies and her Intro can also group targets.
Her Outro Skill buffs the next character's Resonance Liberation DMG, making her valuable for enabling heavy finishers.
She can act as an off-tank: Resonance Skill can absorb/negate attacks and her Forte Circuit grants shields and healing.
Moonlit Clouds (5-pc) is recommended for sub-DPS/support builds because it increases Energy Regen and buffs the next character after her Outro.
Stat priority: prioritize CRIT (4-cost) and Aero DMG or Energy Regen (3-cost). 1-cost pieces should aim for ATK%.
Target ~140% Energy Regen at S0 due to slower rotations; Energy Regen can come from substats (recommended) or a 3-cost main stat if needed.
Weapon choices: Verity's Handle for Resonance Liberation focus; Moongazer's Sigil for ATK + Resonance Liberation scaling; Abyss Surges for Energy Regen/ATK; Marcato for rotation/energy support.
Skill upgrade priority: Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation first, then Normal Attack, then Resonance Skill, and Intro last.

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.
