About the character

Jianxin grew up alone in the forest as a wild child until she was taken in as a student by Taoist monks. She spent her entire life mastering martial arts and awakened as a resonator, gaining the ability to use the powers of the Aero element to enhance her attacks.

In combat, she can use and transform the Qi energy around her to create purifying protective barriers and force fields. She can also use air currents to damage opponents and group them in one place.

How to get

Jianxin is the default Aero character in Wuthering Waves. There are several ways to obtain her:

  • Take a newbie from the banner for 50 spins;
  • Get it for 80 spins in a special summon by setting the path to it;
  • Select as a ticket reward in a special banner;
  • Receive instead of event legendary;
  • Take for standard spins in a regular call.

Although there are quite a few ways to get a character, you can only be guaranteed to get a legendary in cases 2 and 3. But if you suddenly change your mind and have not yet knocked out the hero in a special summon, you can change the path.

Recommended stats

At level 90, Jianxin’s recommended stats are:

Advertising

  • 140-150% energy recovery;
  • 2000 attack power;
  • 50% Aero Damage;
  • 50% critical hit chance;
  • 200% critical damage;
  • 15,000 HP;
  • 1000-1200 protection.

The most important parameter for our support is energy regeneration. The thing is that it is important for her to activate the ult very quickly to pull enemies for the damage dealer. Crits are not so important, but you can collect them in a ratio of 1:2 to cover the position of the support DD.

Primordial Chi Spiral : When Chi reaches max, perform a Heavy Attack to trigger Primordial Chi Spiral and enter Zhoutian Progress.
In Zhoutian Progress, Jianxin gains increased Interrupt Resistance and takes 50% less damage. She also continuously consumes Chi and performs Chi Strike  instead of normal attacks.

As Zhoutian Progress accumulates , different types of Zhoutian status appear, giving different effects:

·         Before Minor Zhoutian : Grants a level 1 shield. If progress is interrupted, performs a knockback attack.

Transcendence Outro Skill / Outro strike The next character that enters the field gains 38% bonus to the Ultimate’s damage for 14 seconds.

Passive skills

Skill name Skill Description
Formless Release The damage of the wind flow created by the Ultimate is increased by 20%.
Reflection The shield gained after Primordial Chi Spiral’s heavy attack has been increased by 20%.
Skillful Cooking Can prepare a special dish.

Priority of pumping

First of all, we pump Forte Circuit / Resonance Scale, since Jianxin’s main gameplay is built around it and enhances the imposition of shields. After that, we pump the ult, which allows you to pull enemies to one point. These two skills are extremely important for supporting the team, so we pay attention to them first.

Next in importance of pumping are E-shka and Intro strike. The last one is the basic attack, we will need it at most to accumulate the Resonance Scale and the ult.

Weapons for Jianxin

Name Base stat Characteristics Description
Abyss Surges 8.1–36.4% attack power Grants 12.8-25.6% energy recovery speed. If the enemy is hit by an E-type attack, the normal attack is increased by 10-20% for 8 seconds. If the enemy is hit by a normal attack, the E-type attack is increased by 10-20% for 8 seconds. The best option among all weapons. Gives a lot of attack power and energy recovery in the passive. Allows you to collect in the DD support due to bonuses to skills.
Marcato 11.5–51.8% energy recovery After activating E-shki, restores 8-16 energy for character change. The effect occurs once every 20 seconds. Another good option that can be put on Jianxin. Due to her E mechanics, the weapon will work great and heal if necessary.
Gauntlets#21D 8.6–33.8% energy recovery When the wearer performs a dodge, their attack power increases by 8-15% and counterattack power by 50-100% for 8 seconds. After a successful counterattack, restores 5-10% of the wearer’s HP every 6 seconds. Another good option that can be put on Jianxin. Due to her E mechanics, the weapon will work great and heal if necessary.
Stonard 4.5–20.3% critical hit chance After activating E, increases the damage of the ult by 18-54% for 15 seconds. Suitable for a DD build where you need crits and ult. Overall slightly worse than other 4✦ options.
Gauntlets of Night Attack Power: 5.4–24.3% When the wearer performs an Intro Strike and enters combat, their Attack Power is increased by 8-16% for 10 seconds. The best choice at the beginning of the game. Allows you to act as a damage dealer in a team with quick character switching.

Which Echo to install?

Moonlit Clouds

Since Jianxin is played as a support, it is very important for her to collect a lot of energy recovery and buff her allies. To do this, we put a full Moonlit Clouds set. Two parts give 10% “recovery”, and 5 parts, when activating Outro, give 22.5% attack power to the next character who enters the battlefield. The set combines well with the Outro mechanics of our heroine and gives even more boosts to the main damage dealer.

We put Echo of the boss Impermanence Heron on the first slot . It gives another 12% bonus to the damage of the next resonator after the carrier. So with such a set you will be able to get all possible buffs.

Sierra Gale

As usual, the Sierra Gale set is a great choice for Aero characters. Two pieces give 10% Aero damage, and five pieces after the Intro give another 30% for 15 seconds. This build increases Jianxin’s own damage and allows her to comfortably play the SUP role.

We put the Feilian Beringal boss on the main Echo slot to get even more elemental damage. It also gives a heavy attack bonus, which is useful in our case.

2+2 combo

If you don’t have a full set with good stats, put 2 pieces from the Sierra Gale and Moonlit Clouds sets . This way you’ll get 10% Aero damage and energy recovery and will be able to effectively use the girl as a Sap DD.

It’s best to put Echo of  the Impermanence Heron boss on the first slot . An extra buff never hurts. But if you don’t have it, you can also put Feilian Beringal .

Commands for Jianxin

The first version of the team is tailored for the support DD position. In this case, we take a strong damage dealer and simply coat him with various buffs and stats. For the third slot, you can take either a healer or another support.

Such a squad may include:

  • Calcharo/Encore
  • Jianxin;
  • Yangyang/Sanhua/Mortefi/Verina.

The second build option is aimed at those who want to play Jianxin as the main damage dealer. In this case, we buff her as much as possible.

We are taking into the squad:

  • Jianxin;
  • Aalto;

The third option we will call “blow-off”. This is a team with a core in the form of Jiyan, whom we strengthen as much as possible with two supports.

Its composition looks like this:

  • Jiyan;
  • Aalto;
