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 that can demolish multiple enemies.

This Jing Yuan build focuses on all aspects of his DMG. The Ashblazing Grand Duke and The Wondrous BananAmusement Park will increase his Follow-up attack and CRIT DMG respectively.
| Stat | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| CRIT Rate | 70% or above |
| CRIT DMG | 140% or above (Outside of Combat) |
| ATK | 2500 or above |
| SPD | 135 / 143 / 160+ |
Jing Yuan wants the usual stats for a DPS which are ATK, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. As usual, the ideal 1:2 Ratio for CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG is recommended. As for ATK, having 2500 or higher is enough out of combat.
Having 135 SPD is great for Jing Yuan to get two turns in the first cycle and meet Glamoth's SPD requirement. Higher SPD is even better, but try to hit SPD Breakpoints.

| War Marshal | ★★★★★ - Highest Priority This gives Jing Yuan a good boost to CRIT Rate after he uses his Skill, which can help his Lightning Lord and other attacks crit for more damage. |
