Base Stats

Jean is a 5-star Anemo character who wields a sword in Genshin Impact. She is hailed as the renowned knight of Mondstadt and is the acting Grand Master of the Knights of the Favonius. She is a versatile character, ideal for beginners and pro gamers alike. Whether you need healing, crowd control, or even a Sub-DPS, Jean is flexible and excels in any team. Lore-wise, her dedication and leadership as a knight are truly remarkable, making her one of the fan-favorites among players.

Jean's Tier & Rating

Jean is an Anemo healer who can also knock away enemies with her Elemental Skill. Her Elemental Burst is the source of her healing, making her reliant on her Burst, but her Passive offsets the Energy consumption by refunding 20% of the consumed Energy. Jean's Elemental Burst has a special interaction with Elements applied to the character by Swirling them and spreading them to nearby enemies.

Best Weapon for Jean

Jean performs best with weapons that boost her ATK or Energy Recharge. Weapons that can restore Energy or generate Energy Particles are particularly effective for her.

Premium Weapons for Jean

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best	Freedom-Sworn	Get from Limited Banner - Kazuha's Signature Weapon that can only be pulled for when he's also on rate-up. - Gives an additional buff for Jean's support abilities and has a high Base ATK for better healing.
2nd	Favonius Sword	Get from Banners - The high Energy Recharge stat allows Jean to gain more Energy per particle, and its passive effect also generates Energy Particles. - Has a lower Base ATK than 5-Star weapons, but the effect and ER stat are great for maintaining her Burst uptime.
3rd	Aquila Favonia	Get from Banners - Physical DMG stat doesn't do much for Jean but the Base ATK is high and works great for her healing.
4th	Skyward Blade	Get from Banners - Works best as a stat stick for Energy Recharge and ATK.

Jean's best support weapon is Freedom-Sworn, but Favonius Sword is also an excellent option due to its support passive. The other premium weapons she can use mostly function as stat sticks for Energy Recharge or ATK, though some F2P weapons are better in that regard.

Free-to-Play Friendly (F2P Weapons) for Jean

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best F2P	Amenoma Kageuchi	Inazuma Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon - The ATK main stat increases Jean's healing. - For each Elemental Skill Jean uses, this weapon restores up to 12 flat Energy when she uses her Elemental Burst. This effect is more effective at Refinement Rank 5 (R5).
2nd (Forge)	Serenity's Call	Nod-Krai Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon - Best Energy Recharge stat stick and has the same ER given as Favonius Sword. - Doesn't need Max Refines since Jean doesn't benefit from the HP buff.
3rd (Forge)	Finale Of The Deep	Fontaine Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon - ATK stat stick for boosting Jean's ATK. - Has a Bond Of Life effect when using her Elemental Skill but she can easily clear it by using her Burst. - Needs R5 for maximum ATK increase.

Jean's best F2P weapons are those that can increase both ATK and Energy Recharge for her. Amenoma is craftable and should be prioritized due to its ability to buff ATK and restore Energy for Jean.

Jean Best Artifacts

Jean's best set is Viridescent Venerer since it allows her to shred enemy resistances. But she can also make use of healing focused sets. See the recommendations below:

Artifact	Recommendation Details
Viridescent Venerer	★★★★★ - The best set for Jean's support abilities, as it allows her to shred enemy Resistances. - This allows Pyro, Hydro, Electro, and Cryo characters to deal more damage.
Song Of Days Past	★★★★☆ - The second-best support set. It increases Jean's healing and converts it into a damage buff for teammates.
Ocean-Hued Clam	★★★★☆ - A damage-oriented healing set that increases Jean's healing and allows it to deal Physical DMG based on the amount healed (including overflow).
Any Healing Bonus% Any ATK%	★★★☆☆ - The best 2-piece set combinations for increasing Jean's healing are ATK% and Healing Bonus sets. - An Energy Recharge 2-piece set can also be used, but this stat is easily obtained from her weapon and artifact main stats.

Recommended Artifact Stats

	Main: Flat HP Sub: CRIT Rate (with Favonius Sword) / ATK% / Energy Recharge
	Main: Flat ATK Sub: CRIT Rate (with Favonius Sword) / ATK% / Energy Recharge
	Main: Energy Recharge or ATK% Sub: CRIT Rate (with Favonius Sword) / ATK% / Energy Recharge
	Main: ATK% Sub: CRIT Rate (with Favonius Sword) / Energy Recharge
	Main: Healing Bonus Sub: CRIT Rate (with Favonius Sword) / ATK% / Energy Recharge

Build ATK and Energy Recharge for Healing

If you're using Favonius Sword on Jean, first ensure she has enough CRIT Rate. After that, focus on building her ATK and Energy Recharge so she can consistently use her Burst and maximize her healing.

Best Team Comp Jean

Jean Can Support Any PHEC DPS

Support	DPS	Shielder	Sub-DPS
Jean	Furina	Mavuika	Citlali
Details
- As a VV holder and healer, Jean is best used as a support for any PHEC damage dealer like Mavuika. - Furina is one of her best teammates as well since Jean's healing can help Furina gain Fanfare stacks faster. - Citlali is used as Melt support for Mavuika and can hold Scroll set to allow Jean to use a healing set instead.

Jean is best used to support any PHEC DPS who doesn't have team restrictions. Mavuika as the current top DPS for Pyro and can benefit from her healing and Furina's faster Fanfare generation. While Jean can support Lunar-Charged teams, she doesn't provide much aside from healing and RES shred when Sucrose can buff EM to boost the damage more.

Team Rotations for Jean and Combos

Basic Team Rotation for Jean

As a VV holder, Jean should be used right before your main DPS, since the VV debuff has a short duration. However, if she isn't using the VV set, refer to the non-VV rotation below.

Non-VV Rotation for Jean

When not equipped with the VV set, Jean's rotation is flexible and depends on the team composition. For example, if she is paired with Furina, use Jean's abilities after Furina's. In a Sunfire team, use Jean after Bennett.

Basics of Using Jean (Beginner Guide)

Anemo Healer For Any Team

Artifact	Summary Of Effect
Viridescent Venerer	For Shred Support Jean [ 2-PC Set Effect: ] - Anemo DMG Bonus +15%. [ 4-PC Set Effect: ] - Swirl DMG +60%. Shreds RES of the swirled element by 40% for 10s.
Song Of Days Past	For Healer Support Jean [ 2-PC Set Effect: ] - Healing Bonus +15%. [ 4-PC Set Effect: ] - Gains Yearning effect based on healing including overflow healing (15,000 Max) for 6s. Buffs active character's damage based on 8% of healing recorded by Yearning effect.

Jean's Anemo element makes her a great character to equip the Viridescent Venerer set and support any Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo characters. Since she is also a healer, she can function as both a RES shred support and a healer, or be built as a full healer with a healing-focused set.

Scales on ATK

Jean's damage and healing both scale with her ATK. While her Elemental Skill is a good source of damage, it's still weaker compared to dedicated damage dealers. Building her with two ATK% main stats on her artifacts is a viable option, but you can also use an Energy Recharge Sands since her healing primarily comes from her Burst.

Reliant on Elemental Burst for Healing

Jean's healing mostly comes from her Elemental Burst's activation and healing field but her Normal Attacks have a chance to restore some HP to her teammates. Her Burst has a high Energy cost of 80, but you can use Favonius Sword and funnel the particles from her Skill to herself to reliably use her Burst every rotation.

Passive Offsets Energy Recharge Requirements

One of Jean's passive talents refunds 20% of the Energy cost when she uses her Elemental Burst. This makes it easier to use her Burst again in subsequent rotations.

Burst's Field Has a Special Interaction

The field from Jean's Elemental Burst applies Anemo to characters continuously and deals Anemo DMG to enemies entering or exiting the field. When paired with Bennett's Burst, which continuously applies Pyro to the active character, she can enable the "Sunfire" team composition that relies on this constant reapplication of Pyro for reactions.

Elemental Skill, Burst and Abilities Guide for Jean

How To Use Jean's Skills & Passives?

Anemo Healer With Powerful Healing

Jean is an Anemo healer that uses her Burst to provide instant healing and healing over time within its field. Since her Elemental Skill can apply Anemo, she can also be used as a VV support for Pyro, Hydro, Electro and Cryo characters.

Elemental Skill Can Knock Away And Lift Enemies

Jean's Elemental Skill is a unique skill that deals Fall DMG because it can lift enemies and throw them away. It can be used to throw enemies into a void or body of water, but there will be no enemy drops if the enemy dies that way.

Elemental Burst For Healing And Application Cleanse

Jean's Elemental Burst provides powerful instant healing and healing over time for characters within its range. It applies Anemo to the characters, which can erase any Elements applied on them as well as dealing Anemo DMG to enemies entering. When combined with Bennett's Burst applying Pyro, it can easily apply Pyro to enemies in range via Swirl reactions.

Refunds 20% Of Energy Used

Let The Wind Lead	Using Jean's Elemental Burst, Dandelion Breeze, will regenerate 20% of its Energy. (Refunds 16 Energy)

While Jean's Burst has a high Energy cost of 80, her Passive refunds 20% of the Energy consumed and she can hold Favonius Sword to generate Particles for the team.

Normal Attacks Give Small RNG Healing

Wind Companion	Jean's Normal Attacks hitting enemies will have a 50% chance to regenerate HP based on 15% of Jean's ATK for all teammates.

Another one of Jean's Passives gives her Normal Attacks a small chance to restore HP to the team. This makes her viable to use as an on-field healer, but since it's RNG-based, it is not a reliable reason for her to be on-field.

Should You Pull for Jean's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Constellations Are Nice But Not Necessary

C4 Provides Anemo RES Shred

While Jean has historically been featured on Chronicled Wish banners with Skyward Blade and Aquila Favonia, none are considered her Signature Weapon, especially since she is a Standard Banner character. Because of this, her constellations are the main way to improve her performance without relying on other characters or weapons. If she's featured on a Chronicled Wish banner and you want to boost her performance as an Anemo Support and Healer, consider pulling for her C4. This constellation decreases enemies' Anemo RES with her Burst, making it one of her best upgrades, but this is only recommended if you are willing to spend the resources to specifically get her constellations.

C2 has limited use-cases, but the Movement and Attack Speed it provides can still be a nice bonus, despite not being particularly impactful in most teams. In general, Jean is already great at C0, so you don't need to actively pull for her constellations. Consider any extra constellations you get as a welcome bonus.

Recommended Pull Priority
Primordial Jade Cutter > C4 > C2

Primordial Jade Cutter Is Good to Have On Any Account

In addition to being a universal 5-star sword with a CRIT Rate sub-stat, its passive converts HP into Attack, which directly benefits Jean since her abilities scale with her Attack stat. Jean also deals a decent amount of damage with her Skill and Burst, so the extra CRIT Rate is very useful. Pulling for the Primordial Jade Cutter is a sound decision for any account, and the fact that it's one of Jean's best options makes it a great investment.

While not as universally useful, the Freedom-Sworn is another good alternative due to the team-wide buffs it provides. Fewer characters can make full use of Freedom-Sworn, so it might not be a top priority to pull for. However, it can still be a decent option for Jean, especially if you also want the other weapon featured on its banner.
