Powerful Aero Attacker & Great against Multiple Enemies

His attacks have a wide range and can attack rapidly with a high damage output. His weapon has a long range which makes it easy to parry attacks, so he is recommended for beginners as well.

Attacks after Resonance Liberation is Powerful

He can enhance his own attacks with his Resonance Liberation. After it's activated his attacks are considered as Heavy Attacks, so he is a great match with Mortefi's Outro Skill.

How to Use Jiyan

Close Range Aero DPS with High Burst Damage Output

Jiyan is a powerful DPS that truely shines when he activates the Resonance Liberation skill. When he uses it a Dragon follows up his attacks, with its high firepower and wide attack range. If he uses the Resonance Liberation after he gets a buff from his allies with for example an Outro Skill, his burst damage will become even more powerful.

Watch the 2nd Gauge to Increase DMG

The 2nd gauge above Jiyan's HP is his "Resolve". You consume this to increase Resonance Skill DMG or activate additional attacks when using Resonance Liberation to increase damage.

Resolve will not increase during Resonance Liberation

Once activated, the Resolve acts as the remaining time of the effect and you won't be able to increase it. You need to have the gauge filled up before you activate it.

Try to Unlock Resonance Chain 2

The Resolve starts decreasing 15sec after the last time Jiyan attacks. The Resolve will keep going down even when his allies are the ones attacking so you will have no choice but to have Jiyan fight around that 15sec mark if you don't have Resonance Chain 2 unlocked. If you do unlock it, you only need to activate the Intro Skill to gain Resolve, so it makes it much easier.

Resonance Chain 4 Buffs Allies

Jiyan can not only act as the Main DPS but also as a Sub DPS/Buffer. He shines as a Sub DPS at Resonance Chain 4 or 5 so keep that in mind if you want to use him aggresively.

Jiyan Skill Tips

Increase Energy and use Intro Skill

The "Qingloong Mode" you activate with the Resonance Liberation is key to dealing massive damage. You want to get in that state when you are buffed so change to another character once you have enough energy so you can make use of your ally's Outro Skill. Use the Echo at that timing too.

Activate "Qingloong Mode" after ally uses Outro Skill

Ally uses Outro Skill so Jiyan can use his Intro Skill. At Resonance Chain 2, you will get a 14sec buff with the Intro Skill and at Chain 6 you can use "Momentum" for a even stronger buff. If you don't have enough energy you can use the Resonance Skill to charge more energy first.

Wait for the Right Time

Jiyan is not good at defense. If you don't time it right, the enemy may knock you down. Watch the enemy closely so that you can counterattack. Jiyan becomes more powerful once you know when to strike.

Jiyan - Best Echoes and Weapons

Equip 5 Sierra Gale Echoes

Effect	Echoes
Sierra Gale

Sierra Gale can increase Aero Damage. The Cost 4 Echo Feilian Beringal can increase Heavy DMG so it is a good match with Jiyan.

Best Weapons

Weapon	Tier/Advantage
Verdant Summit	【Tier】★★★★★ - Increase Heavy ATK damage
Autumntrace	【Tier】★★★★・ - Obtain from Battle Pass - Better to Syntonize
Emerald of Genesis	【Tier】★★★・・ - Increase Energy Regen - Easier to activate Resonance Liberation
Helios Cleaver	【Tier】★★・・・ - For Free Gacha Players - The buff duration time is close to Jiyan's buff duration

Focus on Heavy ATK damage and Resolve

The Resolve state is the most important factor for Jiyan. Use weapons that enhance Heavy ATK damage and more buff duration time. Weapons that increase Energy Regen are also a good match.

Jiyan - Best Resonance Chain

Get Resonance Chain 2

At Node 2, you get an ATK buff after using the Intro Skill. You will also be able to gain [Resolve] just by using the Intro Skill so Node 2 will increase your DMG output and make combat a lot easier.

Node 4 and 5 is Great for Sub DPS and Support Role

Node 4 increases Heavy ATK damage when using Liberation. Node 5 increase the Outro Skill multiplier, making it better to use as ATK Support or Sub DPS. With this, you can pair him up with another Heavy ATK DPS as strong as Jiyan to achieve massive firepower.
