How to Use Jean

Use Gale Blade to Launch Enemies

Gale Blade Can Pull and Push Enemies

Jean's Elemental Skill has the unique ability to not only gather enemies but launch them in the direction of your choice. This gives Jean a high level of utility and control on the battlefield, as enemies can be lauched into water or off of platforms which can immediately end a fight in victory.

Dandelion Breeze For Burst Healing and Damage

Elemental Burst: Dandelion Breeze

Jean's Elemental Burst, Dandelion Breeze, sets up a lare Anemo AoE provides heavy heals over time and damage to enemies entering or exiting the field. Since Jean's healing ability scales with ATK, her elemental burst and innate healing ability to heal herself and the party with normal attacks gives Jean Tank like qualities in solo play and especially in multiplayer.

Guiding Breeze makes cooking a Breeze

Jeans Passive Talent, Guiding Breeze, grants a 12% chance of obtaining double the expected number of items when cooking recovery food. This further boosts Jeans overall party utility.
