How Strong is Jianxin?

Strengths
・Resonance Liberation is great for grouping mobs ・Forte Circuit can provide shielding ・Resonance Skill can negate an enemy's attack ・Outro Skill can buff the next character's Resonance Liberation
Weaknesses
・Has lower ATK than most other 5-Star characters ・Doesn't have an innate Aero DMG Boost ・Resonance Liberation is less effective against heavier enemies

Jianxin is a versatile DPS and Sub-DPS Hybrid that can provide crowd-control with her Resonance Liberation and party-wide shields with her Forte Circuit. Her Outro Skill buffs the next character's Resonance Liberation.

While Jianxin is amazing against AoE scenarios, she struggles against heavier enemies due to her crowd-control only being effective on light enemies.

Jianxin excels as a Sub-DPS thanks to her Ultimate and Intro Skill grouping enemies, and her Outro Skill buffing the next character's Resonance Liberation DMG. She can also double as an off-tank thanks to her Resonance Skill being able to absorb attacks and her Forte Circuit healing her and reducing damage taken which she can then pass to the next character taking the field. Pair this with a 5-pc Moonlit Clouds set, and your main DPS unit will be unstoppable.

Jianxin Best Echo Sets

Optimal Main Echo

Main Echo	Explanation
Impermanence Heron	・Restores Jianxin's Resonance Energy so she can cast her Ultimate more. ・Increases the next character's DMG dealt, good for a semi-support role for Jiaxin.
Feilian Beringal	・Increases Jianxin's overall Aero DMG. ・Great when using Jianxin as a damage dealer.

Echo Tier List

Jianxin Best Sonata Effects

Echo Set	Rating
Moonlit Clouds (5-pc)	★★★ - Best The 5 pc. Moonlit Clouds set makes Jianxin lean towards a more supportive build by increasing her Energy Regen Rate and by buffing the next character used after her Outro Skill. Note that this set is best used on a more rotation heavy or Resonance Liberation focused team comp. Recommended Main Echo: Impermanence Heron
Sierra Gale (5-pc)	★★☆ - 2nd Best A 5 pc. Sierra Gale set makes Jianxin lean towards a more offensive build by increasing the damage of her Aero attacks. Recommended Main Echo: Feilian Beringal
Sierra Gale (2-pc) Lingering Tunes (2-pc)	★☆☆ - 3rd Best Use this set if you don't have a 5 pc. set with the ideal stats. This will give her a good balance of generic Aero and ATK Boosts. Optionally, you could also replace Lingering Tunes with Moonlit Clouds if you want extra Energy Regen instead of ATK. Recommended Main Echo: Feilian Beringal

List of All Weapons

Jianxin Best Weapon Explained

Ideally, Jianxin wants Gauntlets that can either boost her damage output or increase her Energy Regen for more Ult casts. Abyss Surges is the best choice for this since it offers both stat increases, but you can use any of the other weapons listed above if you don't have it or someone else has them equipped.

Jianxin Best Teams

Jianxin Sub-DPS Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Calcharo	Jianxin	Shorekeeper

Jianxin is a great Sub-DPS for someone like Calcharo since his attacks, like Heavy Attack: Death Messenger, counts as Resonance Liberation damage and get boosted from her Outro Skill. The Shorekeeper provides potent buffs to the former two Resonators, while also providing some damage with her butterflies.

As a note, you can replace Calcharo with any other character that likes to spam their Ultimate Ability. Just make sure that the damage counts as Resonance Liberation damage since Jianxin's Resonance Liberation Boost doesn't affect enhanced attacks unless it's explicitly stated like in Calcharo or Encore's Forte Circuit descriptions.

General Rotation

1	Start the battle with Shorekeeper, and use her Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill to generate Flare Star and Dim Star Butterflies.
2	Fill up Concerto Energy, then use Shorekeeper's Resonance Liberation followed by her Outro Skill through swapping to Jianxin.
3	Cycle through Jianxin's kit to build her Forte Gauge. Use Jianxin's Forte Circuit to gain a shield, and her Resonance Liberation to group enemies. Then, swap to Calcharo with full Concerto Energy.
4	With Jianxin's Outro Skill buff, build up to and use Calcharo's Resonance Liberation. Try to use as many Dodge Counters as possible to maximize the Resonance Liberation DMG Boost.
5	As Calcharo, fill up Concerto Energy to the max, then swap back to Shorekeeper to detonate her Resonance Liberation Field.
6	Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

How to Play Jianxin

Jianxin Gameplay Guide
Charge Forte to Use Heavy Attack Use Jianxin's Charged Heavy Attack Cast Ultimate to Gather Enemies

Charge Forte to Use Heavy Attack

How to Gain Chi Stacks	・Basic Attack ・Heavy Attack (uncharged) ・Mid-air Attack ・Dodge Counter ・Tap Resonance Skill ・Long Press Resonance Skill ・Intro Skill

Resonance Skill doesn't need to hit enemies to get Chi.

Jianxin's general playstyle revolves around charging her Forte Circuit gauge by stacking Chi. Listed above are the abilities that can generate Chi.

Resonance Skill Parrries Attacks

Jianxin's Resonance Skill can parry attacks, even from bosses, by holding down the Resonance Skill button. She does not take damage when this ability triggers. But, if you release the button, Jianxin will deal Aero DMG.

Use Heavy Attack: Primordial Chi Spiral

After filling up Jianxin's Forte Circuit gauge, use Heavy Attack: Primordial Chi Spiral by long pressing the Baic Attack button. This starts Zhoutian Progress.

Charged Heavy Attack Explained

How to Use Heavy Attack

When the Forte Circuit gauge is full, hold Heavy Attack to increase Jianxin's anti-interruption, deal continuous Aero DMG, and slowly consume Chi. Release the button when you reach your desired Zhoutian progression.

Zhoutian Progress (Breakdown)

[Before Minor Zhoutian] ・This occurs if Chi consumption has yet to reach ①. ・Gains a shield. ・Deals Aero DMG when the Heavy Attack button is released. [Minor Zhoutian] ・This occurs if Chi consumption reaches ①. ・Gains a stronger shield compared to the one above. Also, casts Shock to deal Aero DMG. ・Deals Aero DMG again when the Heavy Attack button is released. [Major Zhoutian: Inner] ・This occurs if Chi consumption reaches ②. ・Gains a stronger shield compared to the one above. ・Has the same damage-related abilities as Minor Zhoutian. [Major Zhoutian: Outer] ・This occurs if you fully consume Jianxin's Chi. ・Provides the same shield as Major Zhoutian: Inner and also casts Shock. ・Aim to reach this progression to maximize the shield and damage provided by the ability.

The table above lists the different stages that can be reached when you continue to hold down Jianxin's Heavy Attack. You ideally want to consume all Chi to maximize the abilities' effect. It is also worth noting that the shield that it provides will also heal the on-field character!

Cast Ultimate to Gather Enemies

Jianxin's ultimate simply pulls in enemies to the center of the wind field and deals continuous Aero DMG. When the wind field disappears, it deals Aero DMG again to affected targets. This ability is great to use before swapping out to a different character!

Jianxin Recommended Combos

Optimal Rotation Combo

Combo
Intro Skill → Res. Lib → Res. Skill (Hold) → Basic Attack Combo x2 → Heavy Attack - Primordial Chi Spiral → Echo → Outro

Start by using Jianxin's Intro Skill followed by her Resonance Liberation. Afterwards, use Jianxin's Resonance Skill on hold and do two full Basic Attack combos to collect the maximum Chi and fill up Concerto energy.

Once her Chi is full, hold down the Heavy Attack until the animation ends. Finally, use Jianxin's Echo and switch to the DPS character to have their Resonance Liberation DMG Amplified.

Jianxin Skill Priority and Forte List

Skill	Priority	Explanation
Normal Attack	★★★☆☆	Whenever Jianxin isn't using her Ult or Forte Circuit, she'll be attacking to generate Concerto and Resonance Charges. Upgrade her Basic Attack after her Resonance Liberation and Forte Circuit, but remember to not neglect it and leave it too low level.
Resonance Skill	★★☆☆☆	The damage increase from leveling this skill up is nice, but Jianxin's Resonance Skill should still be mainly used to negate an attack rather than for the damage that it deals.
Forte Circuit	★★★★★	While upgrading this skill is great for the damage boost it'll get, its biggest draw is that it also increases the Shield and Healing that you get. This is extremely useful for supporting your team, especially if you don't have a dedicated Shielder/Healer. You can swap this skill's upgrade priority with her Resonance Liberation if you prefer damage over safety.
Resonance Liberation	★★★★☆	Jianxin's Ultimate is one of her most important abilities since it groups up enemies while dealing a lot of damage. Upgrading this skill is a high priority since it will greatly improve your efficiency at killing mobs. As mentioned above, you can also swap this skill's upgrade priority with her Forte Circuit if you so choose.
Intro Skill	★☆☆☆☆	While her Intro Skill is great for grouping enemies without having to use her Ult, it's still the lowest priority upgrade when compared to every other skill that she has.

Since Jianxin will most of the time focus on healing and shielding allies while dealing damage, focus on upgrading her Forte Circuit first to improve on those aspects. Afterward, go for her Resonance Liberation to improve damage while grouping enemies.

Jianxin Resonance Chain

Recommended Sequence Nodes

	Why We Recommend It
S1	★★★☆☆ - Good This Sequence Node is great since it will help you quickly max out her Chi and get the strongest possible Shield from her Forte Circuit. While it's not the most important upgrade out there, it's still a wonderful buff to have if you can get it.
S2	★★★★☆ - Great Having an extra charge to counterattacks is an amazing upgrade to get since it gives an extra layer of safety during fights. The extra charge also allows you to generate more Concerto Energy every time you hit an enemy with her Resonance Skill.
S3	☆☆☆☆☆ - Unimportant While the extra damage from Chi Parry turning into Chi Counter is nice, this ability should still be mainly used to negate an attack rather than for the damage that it deals.
S4	★★★★★ - Amazing Having an upgrade to her Ult's damage after using her Forte Circuit is amazing since you'll want to swap out to your Main DPS after using her Ult. The combination of her Outro Skill buff, Forte Circuit defenses, and Resonance Liberation damage will help your Main DPS safely destroy a wave of enemies.
S5	★★★★★ - Amazing Similar to her S4 upgrade, increasing the range of Jianxin's Ult is amazing since it will allow you to suck in even more enemies to quickly kill off with your Main DPS. This is especially great against enemies that spawn relatively far apart and wouldn't get CC'd without the upgrade.
S6	★★★★★ - Amazing Jianxin's final Sequence is overloaded with amazing buffs to her kit. This upgrade allows her to cancel a 1 charge Forte Circuit and immediately counter with a heavily empowered Resonance Skill for free. On top of that, she will also gain a Zhoutian Progress 4 Shield, which cannot be obtained without this upgrade! If you plan on heavily investing in your Jianxin, then this is a must-have skill to get since it heavily improves both her DPS and Supportive capabilities.

Unlock All Sequence Nodes if You Can

While Jianxin's S1 and S2 upgrades are great buffs to get, she really starts to shine the more levels you get in her Resonance Chain. Admittedly, her S3 isn't that great outside of a DPS boost, but everything after that more than makes up for it.

If you plan on using her in the long run, even after newer characters are added to the game, then heavily investing in her Resonance Chain becomes well worth it.

All Sequence Node Effects

S1	Verdant Branchlet After casting Intro Skill Essence of Tao, Jianxin gains 100% extra Chi from Basic Attacks for 10s.
S2	Tao Seeker's Journey Resonance Skill Calming Air can be used 1 more time.
S3	Principles of Wuwei After staying in the Parry Stance of Resonance Skill Calming Air for 2.5s, Resonance Skill Chi Counter becomes immediately available.
S4	Multitide Reflection When performing Forte Circuit Heavy Attack: Primordial Chi Spiral, Jianxin's Resonance Liberation Purification Force Field damage is increased by 80% for 14s.
S5	Mirroring Introspection The range of Resonance Liberation Purification Force Field is increased by 33%.
S6	Truth from Within During Forte Circuit Heavy Attack: Primordial Qi Spiral, if Jianxin performs Pushing Punch, enhanced Resonance Skill Special Chi Counter can be used 1 time(s) in 5s. Special Chi Counter: Deals Aero DMG equal to 556.67% of Jianxin's ATK, considered as Heavy Attack DMG. Obtain a Zhoutian Progress 4 Shield (Benefits from Inherent Skill Reflection's bonus effect.)
