	How to Use

▲Back to All Builds and Roles▲

Support Geo Character

Yun Jin is designed as a support Geo character who uses her Elemental Burst to buff the entire party's Normal Attacks based on her current DEF stat.

By unlocking her 4th ascension, she receives a passive that increases her DEF based on the number of different elemental characters in the party when she uses her Elemental Burst!

Elemental Skill Explanation

Hold Down for More Damage

Elemental Skill Charges: Level 1 and Level 2

During Yun Jin's Elemental Skill, she will perform the Opening Flourish stance and begin charging the attack. During this, she will be protected by a shield based on her max HP.

After fully charging or when her shield breaks, she will unleash the attack in a wide AoE that scales in damage based on her current DEF stat!

Parry with Elemental Skill

Opening Flourish
Charge Level 1	Charge Level 2
Perfect parry timing

Like Beidou's Tidecaller Skill, Opening Flourish will deal max damage if the skill is used just as an enemy's attack hits. You can tell if it was timed correctly by how bright the flags on her back appear.

Shieldbreak Leads to Less Damage

If Yun Jin's shield breaks before being able to charge the level 2 version, she will cast the skill early instead. Though the skill will always deal max damage if fully charged, players should still always take advantage of its parry capabilities.

Elemental Burst Explanation

Buff Party's Normal Attack DMG

Elemental Burst: Cliffbreaker's Banner

Using Yun Jin's Elemental Burst, Cliffbreaker's Banner, allows her to grant all party members the Flying Cloud Flag Formation; an ability that buffs the active character's Normal Attack DMG and deals AoE Geo DMG to her enemies when cast!

What is Flying Cloud Flag Formation

Bonus DMG is based on Yun Jin's current DEF and will be added when the active character deals Normal Attack DMG. This means that any buffs she receives that increase her total DEF will contribute to the bonus DMG she will provide!

This buff can only be triggered 30 times. Hitting multiple enemies with a single Normal Attack will trigger this effect multiple times based on the number of opponents hit!

More Than 200% Energy Recharge Recommended

Depending on how many different Elements are in your team and how many energy particles they can create, Yun Jin will need around 200% - 240% in order to comfortably use her Elemental Burst off cooldown.

Increase DEF by Different Elements in Party

Yun Jin's talent, Breaking Conventions, will increase her DEF based on the number of different elements in the party.

At most, you should only use three different elements in the party since the resonance bonus provided by two of the same element can outweigh the small DEF increase provided by the talent.

Best Elemental Resonance Setup

Cook Adventure Food

When Yun Jin achieves Perfect Cooking on dishes with Adventure-related effects, she has a chance to double the number of dishes produced!

Adventure-related effects include food that increases stamina or reduces cold buildup.

Yun Jin Talents (Skills)

Normal Attack: Cloud-Grazing Strike

Talent Description
Performs up to five consecutive spear strikes. Charge Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way. Plunge Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Opening Flourish

Talent Description

Ms. Yun may just be acting out fights on stage, but her skills with the spear are real enough to defend against her foes. Tap Flourishes her polearm in a cloud-grasping stance, dealing Geo DMG. Elemental Skill Hold: Takes up the Opening Flourish stance and charges up, forming a shield. Hold Details: DMG Absorption is based on Yun Jin's Max HP and has 150% effectiveness against all Elemental DMG & Physical DMG. The shield lasts until she finishes unleashing her Elemental Skill. When the skill is released, when its duration ends, or when the shield breaks, Yun Jin will unleash the charged energy as an attack, dealing Geo DMG. Based on the time spent charging, it will either unleash an attack at Charge Level 1 or 2. Flavor Text: One glorious moment on-stage, a decade of preparation behind it.

Cliffbreaker's Banner

Talent Description

Deals AoE Geo DMG and grants all nearby party members a Flying Cloud Flag Formation. Flying Cloud Flag Formation When Normal Attack DMG hits opponents, Bonus DMG is dealt based on Yun Jin's Current DEF. The effects of this skill will be cleared after a set duration or after being triggered a specific number of times. When one Normal Attack hits multiple opponents, the effect is triggered multiple times according to the number of opponents hit. The number of times that the effect is triggered is counted independently for each member of the party with Flying Cloud Flag Formation. Flavor Text: As the drums, resound, as swords and halbers weave and class, the doyenne is transformed into a mighty general. As the instruments on stage strum in unison, lo, see how she vanqiushes these demons!

Yun Jin's In-Game Information

Character Thoughts on Yun Jin

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Hu Tao	Yun Jin always appears so graceful on formal occasions, but you'd be surprised how friendly she is in private! I made a bet with her once, and the loser had to sing lyrics of the winner's choice in their own singing style. My my, I wish you could have heard her operatic version of the Hilitune!
Keqing	When you're passing by Heyu Tea House and have to squeeze your way through the biggest crowd you've seen in your life, that's when you know Yun Jin's on stage performing. There's not a merchant in Liyue who wouldn't buy up the place if they had the chance, and Yun Jin is the reason it would be worth every Mora.
Ningguang	Yun Jin... Are you able to appreciate her performances? It might be difficult at first, but I would encourage you to give it a chance. The reason why I decided to invest into her opera troupe is quite simple: Elegant art forms like these deserve to be passed down to future generations.
Shenhe	Yun Jin performs... It's called "Liyue opera," isn't it? I like this particular type of social interaction. You can get to know about the other person's background without having to actually interact with them one on one. If she ever includes your story in one of her performances, I'm sure the result will end up being quite incredible. I'm looking forward to it.
Xingqiu	When Yun Jin drinks a beverage she is fond of, she will be inspired to write a new play. So, I keep a jar of tea leaves under my bed at all times, ready to deliver to her on the day that her inspiration dries up. This way, I shall never run out of heroic tales to listen to!
Xinyan	Tell you a secret ー but you gotta keep it that way, you hear? She’s fond of rock ‘n’ roll. Comes to watch me at least three times a week no matter how packed her schedule is. You’d think that the head of Heyu Tea House’s troupe would be into finer arts and all, eh? But I guess it gets suffocating after a while. Haha.
Yaoyao	Now, Yun Jin's really good at spear dancing, and her Liyue opera performances are very popular. Master even takes me to go see them sometimes. You won't find an empty seat when she's on stage... but, um... does anyone understand what she's singing about?

Yun Jin's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Hu Tao	About Hu Tao Ah yes, Hu Tao. Very expressive face, and she has a sharp mind too - you can be discussing the most mundane thing in the world, and she'll always bring out a string of witty remarks. I admire her a lot. There's never a dull moment when you have friends like her around.
Kazuha	About Kazuha Kaedehara Kazuha is among the many outlanders who enjoy Liyue opera. Whether it's an orchestral section or a percussive piece, he always sits there and listens quietly. Talk about great manners!
Keqing	About Keqing I have yet to see the Yuheng ever attend an opera performance. Now that I think about it, whenever I happen to see her out on the street, she always seems to be in a great hurry.
Ningguang	About Ningguang The Tianquan is a big spender and has made several very generous donations to our troupe. I can only return her generosity by delivering my best possible performance.
Shenhe	About Shenhe I have long since known "The Divine Damsel of Devastation" inside out, back to front, but it was only very recently that I learned that the "divine damsel" in question is actually a real person. Life is full of strange twists sometimes! My only hope is that she can find true friendship and never be lonely again.
Xingqiu	About Xingqiu Oh, so you are also acquainted with Xinggiu? Haha, he is quite the clever one, and with a sharp wit as well. The moment you let your guard down, you're at risk of becoming the butt of one of his practical jokes... Don't say I didn't warn you.
Xinyan	About Xinyan The elders of the troupe are always harping on about rock 'n' roll being a bad influence. Needless to say, they never approve of me going to see Xinyan's shows. "It's for your own good," they say. Hmph, all it's really about is their inability to accept anything new. Whatever, those old fogies can't tell me what to do. I'm going to keep rocking out at Xinyan's gigs, every week, and that's that.
Zhongli	About Zhongli The customs of the opera are very particular, and are passed down from generation to generation. Sometimes I find that I only know the hows but not the whys behind what we do. But when speaking with Zhongli, it is abundantly evident that he knows the origins behind almost everything. Who wouldn't be delighted to have such a connoisseur in their audience?
