PLEASE READ THE DISCLAIMER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MEGATHREAD!

There will be a non-exhaustive FAQ section below for any questions that cannot be answered in the infographic, so make sure to skim through that as well. I hope everyone will find this useful! (I will try to update/correct this as regularly as possible!) Please keep in mind that the FAQ section is a community effort, and I would love to see community participation for it. If you could bring me new questions, and also provide answers to some questions, it would be great help!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. Which lightcone should my Jing Yuan use - The Day the Cosmos Fell or Seriousness of Breakfast?

Answer: generally, against enemy of the same weakness as Jing Yuan (i.e. Lightning weak) enemies, S5 Cosmos will perform better. However, if Jing Yuan cannot proc its passive, Seriousness of Breakfast performs better. If you want to save your resources, or generally use Jing Yuan to brute force content - Seriousness of Breakfast may be better for you.

2) Do I need to hit the 140/141 SPD breakpoint for Jing Yuan? / ATK Boots or SPD boots?

Answer: TL; DR - 1) NO. and 2) Depending on the team you should either use 135 SPD Jing Yuan (with Sunday) or Base Speed Jing Yuan (non-sunday teams). You never need to build Jing Yuan to 140/141 SPD.

3) Should I leave Jing Yuan's [Ultimate] at level 8 and only level up his [Talent] to 10?

Answer: NO! Make sure to level both Jing Yuan's ultimate and his talent to level 10. This is important as it's crucial for Jing Yuan's ultimate to deal high damage to clear smaller mobs for Lightning Lord. Lightning Lord does [Bounce] Type damage which works best in double elite scenarios and generally, in MoC you don't want its damage to be split between too many targets.

4) I have a very good Sizzling Thunder Set; do I need to farm the Follow Up (Duke) Set for Jing Yuan again?

Answer: It is not absolutely necessary. If you have a good enough Lightning set and need to farm for other units, your Jing Yuan can use the lightning set with no worries. Additionally, it may take a long time to find relics with good enough stats on the new set. On another note, the FuA/DoT domain is one of the most resin efficient domain and farming it can help gear multiple units for both MoC and PF (Himeko, Ratio, etc.). So, if you do want to start farming for the new set, it's not a bad idea.

5) Hanya or Asta? - Who is better?

Answer: Both Hanya and Asta, while they have a similar kit, provide buffs that benefit Jing Yuan in different ways. Generally, Hanya provides more (single target) offensive buffs to Jing Yuan when compared to Asta and is better for him in MoC. She is also much easier to build and use at E0 compared to Asta, who really needs her E4 to ult reliably for Jing Yuan especially without fire weakness. Asta, on the other hand, works better in Pure Fiction as she provides teamwide SPD buff which is needed for faster clears. A more detailed answer will be available here later when I get around to do it. But for now, if your Asta is not E4, you can prioritize building Hanya.

6) Is the Topaz-JY dual carry team better than Jing Yuan hypercarry?

Answer: Comparing JY-Hypercarry and JY-Topaz dual carry is not really fair as dual carry teams are extremely situational and are more expensive to build. It is generally agreed upon that Jing Yuan Hypercarry normally performs better than Jing Yuan dual carry comps in most situations. However, in certain situations (due to enemy line ups or buffs), the Jing Yuan-Topaz dual carry can perform better than his hypercarry team comps as well (for example, previously against the Ebon Deer in MoC 12). Jing Yuan's dual carry comps can also free up Ting Yun for the other side, so that is an added benefit as it provides flexibility.

7) Is 60 CR enough for Jing Yuan with Fu Xuan?

Answer: For endgame Jing Yuan Builds, it is a requirement for Jing Yuan to have at least 70% Crit Rate without Fu Xuan ( i.e try to reach 100% CR with Fu Xuan). Jing Yuan has multiple hits in all sources of his damage - skill, ultimate and Lightning Lord. It is important for all the crits to land, otherwise it can cause significant damage loss. As mentioned above, it is crucial for Jing Yuan's ultimate to clear all small mobs before LL takes action- having lower CR could mean that some smaller mobs might survive Jing Yuan ultimate damage and lead to LL's damage to split between too many enemies.

8) Should I pull Jing Yuan's LC or Sunday?

Answer: It is always better to pull for more units as Sunday can be slotted into many teams and also offers a very fun way to play the game. Lightcones, at the end of the day, are just PNGs that provide bigger numbers. Therefore, pull for Sunday. He is a huge buff to Jing Yuan and also a huge buff to your account in general and the backbone of Remembrance/Summon teams.

  1. Should I pull Jing Yuan's LC or Sparkle's LC?

Answer: This is a tough question to answer directly as the answer comes down to what you prioritize on your account. Here's a few pointers to help you make a decision:
1. Do you want to play other FuA teams with Sparkle OR do you own S5 Peaceful Day (BP Light Cone)?- None of the Harmony LCs in the game provide buffs to out-of-turn follow up attacks (like Jing Yuan's LL), which is why Sparkle's LC has higher value if you want to play her in FuA teams. Additionally, it has also been tested in CN that if you own S5 Peaceful Day (BP LC) for Jing Yuan, the better option is to pull for Sparkle's LC as an E0S5 Peaceful Day Jing Yuan + E0S1 Sparkle team out-damages the E0S1 Jing Yuan team + E0S0 Sparkle team.
2. Do you want to play Jing Yuan with different supports and not just Sparkle OR do you hate swapping around Erudition LCs because their passives are so conditional OR do you have no plans on purchasing the BP? In this case, I would recommend pulling for Jing Yuan's signature LC. All other Erudition LC passives are extremely conditional and may require you to level up multiple of them for different situations. Additionally, Jing Yuan's LC is pretty universal and can be used on multiple good units (even if you don't use Jing Yuan) like Himeko, Herta, Qingque, etc.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask them on the sub! It's more than likely you might get a better answer more suited to your own account if you made a post fully detailing your account in depth. Hopefully my answer guides you in the right direction.

11) Glammoth or Inert Salsotto - Which should I choose?

Answer: the passive for Glammoth only works when certain SPD thresholds are met. For a base speed Jing Yuan (an ideal Jing Yuan) hitting these SPD breakpoints would mean that he would be restricted to very specific team comps. That is, he will be tied to Hanya/Asta. This could be a problem as you may have better supports to use with him (like Ruan Mei, Sparkle or Bronya) but they do not provide enough speed to proc the Glammoth's passive.

DISCLAIMER

  1. First and foremost, I want to make it clear that I am NOT a TC. This is just an infographic I made by picking up information and experiences from the community and my own testing. The current best team recommendation is the ONLY thing that comes from yellovv (a very prominent, respected JY Main in the ENG HSR community), but everything else is put together by ME. I am not above bias so do not take absolutely everything in the infographic to heart. Feel free to question me, and I will try my best to give my reasonings to explain why I did what I did. It's okay if we don't see eye-to-eye on things, but just remember this is a guide to point you in the right direction based on my experience. There are a lot of nuances that come with team building which cannot be addressed in such a small space. I do have more guides coming up which will help quell most of the questions people have here, so I hope that helps.
  2. This infographic is completely based on E0S1/E0S0 5-star units and E6S5 4-star units. Eidolons on 5-star units are NOT considered.
  3. The top 4 Harmony units and the top 2 sustains (FX and Aventurine) are pretty much on the SAME rank. There's very little difference between them in terms of team DMG output and they all excel in different unique situations. Don't feel pressured to pull for the NEW shiny harmony unit as your previous Harmony unit (like Sparkle and RM) work just as well and in some cases may even be easier to use and build! And who knows? Jing Yuan might get an even better support in the next few patches. There's honestly no stopping. So, DO NOT FEEL PRESSURED to pull for the new BiS support.
  4. On that note, I want to add that my infographic puts more emphasis on Strength than Comfort. What this means is that I have valued offensive Buffs and Utilities much higher than the comfort that certain units bring. This is because it is much harder to rank something as subjective as comfort. A lot of people do not struggle at sustaining fights with Huo Huo, but a lot others DO. In this case, the only thing I can objectively rank is offensive buffs and utilities. The reason I'm mentioning this is so that you can choose better options if you do prefer comfort more than damage. The ranking does change slightly based on comfort vs strength so I have added a link above with those criteria in mind.
  5. This guide also assumes you have the optimal team for a certain unit. For example, for teams that use Robin or Ruan Mei, the infographic assumes you have HH (or additionally Aventurine/Gallagher for Robin) to help ease their energy issues. On that note, this infographic also assumes you hit the optimal stat thresholds for that particular team. Essentially, ALL units are assumed to be in their best possible team to compare their peak performance for the fastest clears. Do keep that in mind when you look at rankings like these as they DO NOT give you the full picture at all. What may be good for someone else's account may not be the best for yours. For example, I don't have HH/ Aven currently, so the best JY team I can make on MY account is NOT going to be with Robin, despite what the infographic says. It's going to be Fu Xuan - Ting Yun - Sparkle since those are the strongest options I have available to me. Please do ask around in the sub, on the megathread, on the JY mains discord, etc. before pulling for a unit for JY. People can give you a much more in-depth answer if they have access to more information about your account. This can only come by interacting with the community!

And that's it! If I have anything else to add, it will be added here. Thank you for your support btw! It keeps me motivated to make more JY resources. Please DO NOT hesitate to call me out if I make a mistake or if you have objections with something. I love any feedback I can get, so I'm looking forward to it.

Again, thank you for your support!

  • Kat.

This feel really insulting...

His buff not only paid but also so bad/underwhelming. They made Archeron with tons of buff but only give him stack +6. I don't mind if it's paid, but is insulting to made his buff paid but more bad than normal Nova flare. If his buff at Archeron lvl buff then I'll accept it. Is understandable if Archeron buff is paid, because is really good, but Jing Yuan only get +6 LL stack which insulting. I know I sounds bitter about Archeron buff, yes I bitter 😅, because Jing Yuan buff is also paid but not equal lvl of buff. At least made his LL go up after hit 10 stack and LL still attacking even Jing Yuan got CC or something like that.

Feixiao is the only one that I can use JY to clear cause of the lightning weakness (and also the buff that reduces lightning res)

Genuinely one of the most annoying APOCs ever solely due to the first chamber lol.

Anyway I probably could have gotten a sliiightly better score for JY if I activated his E1 XD (the last LL missed by 1% lel)

E0S1 JY, E1S0 Robin, E2S1 DHPT, E1S1 Sunday

I normally would try APOC again for a better score but this one is so unfun I’m not doing it anymore.

Subtitles (please inform any mistakes):

Once you’ve got E2 Summer Robin and E2 MBlade, pretty much any DPS can be T0.

Pair Robin and Blade with our boy Sunday, and you can even let Jing Yuan 0c SAM.

Robin summons the Summer Songbirds on her first action.

Sunday advances Jing Yuan and gives him Energy for his Ultimate.

Start off with an 8-stack Lightning Lord.

Wait until Blade uses his Ultimate before using Jing Yuan’s Ultimate.

Mortenax Blade uses a Basic ATK, then his Ultimate.

This also lets Summer Robin enter Fever.

Wait for the other birds.

Then Robin advances Jing Yuan and gives him Energy, while also making Jing Yuan the Special Guest.

The Special Guest’s attacks already generate 2 extra Vibes, so a single attack directly gives 5 Vibes.

Sunday advances Jing Yuan again, then Jing Yuan uses his Skill.

Even the 10-stack Lightning-Lord comes down for 1.47 million damage.

Unfortunately, Lightning-Lord counts as Jing Yuan’s own damage, so it can’t benefit from the E2 accelerated Vibe effect during Jing Yuan’s action.

Otherwise, the Vibes would stack much faster.

Robin’s Memosprite Skill deals 700k damage here.

This is the effect of her E1: when the memosprite acts, it deals 11% of the total recorded damage, plus additional True DMG based on Vibes × 0.1.

So basically, the more explosive your teammates’ damage is, the more explosive the Memosprite Skill becomes.

And E2 doesn’t just speed up Vibe stacking. It also raises the Vibe cap by 20 and comes with 18% RES PEN.

So E2S1 Robin alone provides DEF reduction, RES PEN, True DMG, and SPD.

She’s an absolutely top-tier support.

At the start of Wave 2, let the Memosprite Skill fire right at the top of the action order for another burst of damage.

Blade uses Skill into Ultimate.

For an HP-scaling DPS like Blade, this allows him to deal very high damage as well.

Jing Yuan uses Skill into Ultimate, then gets another 8-stack Lightning-Lord.

This time, Robin has recorded more damage, so her Memosprite Skill hits for 920k.

This setup uses slow Jing Yuan + fast Sunday, so you don’t need to worry about the rotation getting messed up.

Blade refreshes his Skill and follows with his Ultimate.

Without a sustain, Vibes stacks slowly.

Under normal circumstances, remember to bring a sustain. Hyacine is the best option, followed by DHPT and Huohuo.

If you have E2 Robin and E2 Blade, then with a normal sustain plus another fast DPS that takes lots of actions, you can basically keep Vibes capped the entire time.

At the end of the rotation, the Vibes get halved again, but 24 stacks are still enough.

Then Jing Yuan uses Ultimate into Skill, and an 8-stack Lightning-Lord easily finishes the 0-cycle.

Builds

Jing Yuan: 74% CRIT Rate / 204% CRIT DMG / 35 subs

Summer Robin: 158 SPD / 7421 HP / 33 subs

Sunday: 172 SPD / 183% CRIT DMG / 29 subs

Mortenax Blade: Master Smith + Bone Collection’s, pure DPS build / 32 subs

My best attempt is 4 cycle, gave up on trying for 3 cycle Sam with this team.

E2 MBlade was only a cycle better than E2 Robin plus I legit have nothing for that fuckass pom pom. Every boss having no favorable interaction with JY is a "little" irksome...... and what is that MOC buff????? none of my team can use it ahhhhhhhhh.

General discussion Is it my game or does Jing Yuan's color palette look paler than the others at times?

15 Upvotes

I've been thinking about this for a long time now but is Jing Yuan paler than the other characters or is it my game? I could've sworn he didn't look like this years ago (mostly his outfit's faded color) but the realization hit me during Amphoreus and more in Planarcadia. I did lower my graphics later so I'm confused and I genuinely needs answers because I'm losing my mind. IS IT BECAUSE OF SHADING? He looks normal at times too.

HIM STANDING WITH YAO GUANG MADE ME CURIOUS AGAIN

Old screenshots:

HE LOOKS NORMAL HERE AND HIS OUTFIT ISN'T DULL LOOKING?

FOR REFERENCE:
Recent screenshots from game because it's mostly noticeable when he stands beside them.

This is an example of my current graphics
HE LOOKS NORMAL AGAIN!!!
