Jiyan Build Guide | Wuthering Waves

One of the most attractive features of Wuthering Waves is being able to grind the game to get a currency called Astirite, and then using it to get various new characters and weapons. The best way to use this currency is by spending it on limited banners where you can get the currently featured unit.

Jiyan was the first character you could find during the launch of the game, and he's an Aero Broadblade main DPS. While he already has some phenomenal animations, you'll also have to build him properly to make him satisfying to play as.

Best Jiyan Weapons

Verdant Summit

Autumntrace

Guardian Broadblade

Weapons are an integral part of a character in Wuthering Waves, and you're asked to place one on each character at all times. These weapons are used by the characters during battle where they can utilize various special stats and bonus abilities. Here are the weapons that suit Jiyan's kit the most:

Jiyan Echo Guide

Echo is a mechanic in Wuthering Waves that you don't necessarily need to pay much attention to during the early game, but they become vital for building Jiyan in the late game. You can have up to five echoes on each character, but you'll only be able to use the special ability of the echo placed in the main slot.

This makes it important to have either Feilian Beringal or Hoochief in this slot, with the former being better than the latter. Feilian Beringal works perfectly for Jiyan as it increases both the Aero DMG and Heavy Attack DMG for the equipping character. Other than the main echo, here are the general sets you should look for:

Echo Stat Priority

Once again, thinking of Jiyan's echo stat priority isn't something you should worry about until you reach at least Union level 30. Once you do, here are the stats you should look for:

If you're planning to use two Elite-type echoes, you can decide the main stat for the second one based on your build. For example, if you have a lot of Aero DMG Bonus already, you can go for ATK Percent and vice-versa. Other than that, you should look for Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK Percent, and Heavy Attack DMG on sub-stats.

Best Jiyan Team Members

Morfeti

Verina

Aalto

Baizhi

Even after having a good Jiyan build in Wuthering Waves, you'll not get much value from the character if you don't place the correct units in a team with him. Some of the best units you can use with this character are mentioned above, and here's the main reason for each one:

Jiyan Forte Priority

Resonance Liberation

Basic Attack

Forte Circuit

Intro Skill

Resonance Skill

While building Jiyan, you'll realize that upgrading his Forte is one of the most time-consuming parts, especially during the late game. This is because you have to upgrade up to five main abilities while also unlocking some stat boosts and Inherent Skills whenever possible. For Jiyan, you'd want to focus on his Resonance Liberation first.

While his attacks during the Liberation count as Heavy Attacks, their multipliers are still on the ability. After that, you can follow the order mentioned above while unlocking his Inherent Skill whenever possible. It's important to unlock the Gift of Nature skill as soon as you can since it's crucial for his synergy with the Intro Skill.
