Should You Pull for Jingliu?

Jingliu is a powerful Ice DPS who can become stronger by entering a special state and consuming the party's HP. Jingliu is also a Skill Point-friendly DPS as she doesn't need to use any of it while in her special state.

If you want a strong AoE DPS who can deal a lot of Ice DMG or don't mind hurting your own party members to become stronger, go ahead and pull for Jingliu!

CRIT DMG ★★★

SPD ★★
CRIT Rate ★★

This build is based on the Version 3.4 changes with her buffs in mind.

This Jingliu Build is designed to deal a lot of DMG using her Enhanced Skill and is stacked with a lot of CRIT DMG from relic stats and Traces. Scholar Lost in Erudition increases the DMG of her Skill and Ultimate, while also giving her some CRIT Rate.

Since Jingliu gets a lot of CRIT DMG from her Talent and from the Bone Collection's Serene Demesne ornament, we recommend using an HP Body to instead increase her Max HP.

Recommended Stat Values

Stat Recommended Value
CRIT Rate 40% - 50%
CRIT DMG 150% or above
HP 6000 or above
SPD Base SPD or 135+

Jingliu should have at least 40% to 50% CRIT Rate from sub-stats to be able to deal consistent CRIT Hits during her Spectral Transmigration state. We recommend having at least 150% CRIT DMG without buffs for optimal DMG.

As for SPD, you can either have her at Base SPD so that hyperspeed Supports can carry her or have her 1 SPD faster than the Supports. Jingliu can even go beyond 135 SPD as long as she manages to reach SPD Breakpoints.

Jingliu's Best Teams

This free-to-play team involves Asta supporting Jingliu using True DMG and SPD buffs. The Ice Trailblazer can give CRIT DMG buffs and turn advance to Jingliu.

A healer like Lynx is important to counteract the party-wide HP consumption from Jingliu's Enhanced Skill. Lynx can also increase Jingliu's Max HP.

Jingliu Gameplay Guide

Skill Deals DMG to a Single Target

Jingliu's Skill at base form will deal Ice DMG to a single target and gain one stack of Syzygy.

Syzygy Enhances Jingliu

Jingliu's Talent can collect a stack of Syzygy by using her Skill or Ultimate. Jingliu can only carry a maximum of three Syzygy stacks. When Jingliu collects two stacks of Syzygy, she'll enter a Spectral Transmigration state.

During Spectral Transmigration, Jingliu's turn will be Advanced Forward by 100% and will gain a massive increase in CRIT Rate.

Spectral Transmigration State

After entering Spectral Transmigration, Jingliu cannot use Basic ATKs in this state and she can only use her Enhanced Skill. Jingliu's Enhanced Skill will also deal DMG to adjacent enemies.

Jingliu's Enhanced Skill will not consume Skill Points. Instead, Jingliu will consume a Syzygy stack plus the HP of all other allies to increase her HP depending on the total HP consumed. Jingliu will exit the Spectral Transmigration state if she has no more Syzygy stacks.

Ultimate Deals AoE DMG

Jingliu's Ultimate will deal Ice DMG to a single target and bonus DMG to adjacent targets. Jingliu will also gain an additional stack of Syzygy. Use her Ultimate during the Spectral Transmigration state to deal increased DMG.

When in the "Spectral Transmigration" state, Jingliu gains 1 stack of "Moonlight" whenever ally targets receive DMG or consume HP. Each stack of "Moonlight" increases Jingliu's CRIT DMG by 22%, up to 5 stacks. Jingliu cannot enter the "Spectral Transmigration" state again until the current "Spectral Transmigration" state ends. "Syzygy" can stack up to 4 times. When "Syzygy" stacks become 0, Jingliu will exit the "Spectral Transmigration" state and remove all "Moonlight."
