Should You Pull for Jing Yuan?

Jing Yuan is a strong DPS character who can deal a lot of AoE DMG through his Lightning-Lord. He can also deal a decent amount of DMG against a single target thanks to the Lightning-Lord's multiple hits.

The only downside to using Jing Yuan is that if he gets affected by a Crowd Control debuff, his Lightning-Lord will not move. Despite this, Jing Yuan is still a strong unit who can demolish multiple enemies.
