Headline 1 Jing Yuan is finally here and in this post I am going to showcase him with best teams and light cones at Eidolon 0 as well as provide you a guide on how to build Jing Yuan.
So Jing Yuan is pretty strong with all things considered but there are some things you need
to know about him. Now before I explain how he
works, my Jing Yuan is level 70 and Eidolon 0
and to showcase his F2P potential, I will be
using the Seriousness of Breakfast light cone,
which is fully superimposed and you can get all
the copies from the Forgotten Hall shop. But
later in the video, I will compare the damage
difference between this light cone and his
signature Before Dawn. Also, his traces are raised
to level 5 for Basic Attack and level 7 skill and
ultimate.
Finally, he is equipped with Band of
Sizzling Thunder relic 4-set set with these stats
and his Planar Ornament set is Inert Salsotto.
Now moving onto Ultimate – it’s got a pretty
hefty cost of 130 and just like the skill – it
doesn’t deal that much damage, however, it
does hit all enemies, increases the Lightning
Lord stacks by 3 and inflicts strong break
damage, which I’ll talk about in a moment.
But here’s the tricky part – you always want to
make sure Jing Yuan is using his ultimate before
Lightning Lord, so that he can give those extra 3
stacks and boost the damage. Same goes for
buffers like Bronya – if using her skill,
you want to build her with lower Speed than Jing
Yuan, so that he can for example, use his skill,
then Bronya advances his action forward, he uses
the skill again and then if you have the energy,
he also activates the Ultimate, this way
you can easily achieve 10 Hit Count stacks.
All in all, when it comes to his kit, its pretty
strong to say the least, although you do have to
understand that the majority of damage comes from
the Lightning Lord. Also, keep in mind if Jing
Yuan is defeated or he becomes crowd controlled,
the Lord will disappear, so make sure
to keep this general well and healthy.
So, let’s start this damage showcase first with
a fully superimposed Seriousness of Breakfast
light cone. His skill will deal 3407 DMG to
one enemy, while the ultimate will unleash
7700 damage or so. This damage of course accounts
for the Band of Sizzling Thunder 4-set bonus but,
you can also get up to 3 ATK stacks from the light
cone for a total of 24%, which gives a big boost
to damage, however, you can only gain these stacks
by defeating an enemy, so it becomes fully powered
up after 3 enemies are taken out by Jing Yuan or
his Lightning Lord. And so with all 3 stacks, his
skill hits for 3734 and ultimate goes for about
8493, which results in roughly 10% DMG increase.
Overall, with a F2P light cone, I personally
think his damage is quite good, its obviously not
gonna be as strong as Seele’s, Yanqing’s or Dan
Heng’s since they specialize in killing bosses.
However, Jing Yuan gains quite a massive boost
in damage when using his signature light cone,
to the point I almost thinks it’s unfair.
Basically, if we look at these damage numbers
side by side and considering the previous
assumptions I made, against 3 targets,I am actually
surprised how unfair this 5-star weapon is.
But regardless,
Now for a quick guide on how to use Jing Yuan,
his best in slot relic set will be Band of
Sizzling Thunder 4-set, but considering
we’re all still pretty early in the game,
a 2-set combination of this and the
Musketeer set is a nice alternative or
you can even go with a full Musketeer set instead.
For the stats, focus on getting Speed Boots which
are really important for him because he has really
low speed and he needs it to help him activate
more often, especially considering this helps him
build more stacks for the Lightning Lord. However,
it is viable to just skip the speed boots and
go for ATK instead, since that boosts Lightning
Lord’s damage. And as for the body, either
Critical Rate or Damage is the way to go but
if you don’t have it, ATK% works fine.
Moving over to Planar Ornaments,
there’s Inert Salsotto to further boost his
critical rate, although keep in mind he does
get 22% of it from the traces once you get him
to the final ascension. Another great set would
be Space Sealing Station for extra ATK and its
located in World 3 which has 2 great sets there
You could also
go for a team with Tingyun and Bronya together
as well as a healer but I can assure you, you
won’t survive in Memory of Chaos without a tank,
especially on the later stages.
there’s still one big problem that
we have in this game – if you don’t own Bailu,
then you will not be able to clear Memory of
Chaos – you desperately need 2 healers to beat
all 10 stages and if you care about this, then
I would suggest you save up the Jades for when
Luocha comes, since he is a healer, or you know,
you can try your luck with Jing Yuan and hope you
get Bailu when you lose your 50/50 but that’s too
unpredictable, especially if you’re F2P.
Still, his banner is really good, Tingyun,
March 7th and even Sushang all are great
characters but obviously, Tingyun is insane with
Jing Yuan and she’s overall the best 4-star in the
game right now, so if you do wanna try your luck,
maybe pull for Tingyun, but since the 4-star
rates are basically the same as in Genshin,
I highly suggest to pull on featured
banners only when you want the 5-star.
But overall, I really like him, I expect he
will become even better once I reach his final
ascension,
