Jianxin Build Guide

What to know before spending pulls

Jianxin's full support kit works at S0. She already has the parry, grouping Liberation, shield, healing, and Liberation amplification needed for her role. Build enough Chi and Concerto to complete the handoff before considering an extra copy, because S1 mainly accelerates Chi generation after Intro rather than adding a new team effect.

Do you need the signature weapon?

Jianxin has no dedicated featured weapon in the current recommendations. Verity's Handle is listed first with 588 ATK and 24.3% Crit Rate. It grants 12% Attribute DMG Bonus and a large personal Liberation damage bonus after she casts Liberation. Marcato is the more support-focused accessible option with 338 ATK and 51.8% Energy Regen; casting Skill also restores 8 Concerto Energy once every 20 seconds. Choose Verity's Handle for Jianxin's own damage or Marcato for faster Liberation and Outro access. No controlled comparison is published here.

Another character copy or the weapon?

S1 means Jianxin's first Resonance Chain upgrade. For 10 seconds after Intro, her Basic Attacks grant twice as much Chi. Marcato instead adds Energy Regen and 8 Concerto Energy after Skill once every 20 seconds. S1 shortens the path to a full Primordial Chi Spiral, while Marcato helps cast Purification Force Field and reach the Outro handoff. Her shield, healing, grouping, and 38% Liberation amplification are already complete at S0 with another weapon.

Advice for your account

Easy rotation

Enter through Essence of Tao to deal damage, pull nearby targets, and gain Chi. Cast Calming Air; hold it when an incoming hit can trigger Chi Counter, or release it for Chi Parry when no safe counter is available. Use Basic Attacks until Chi reaches 120. Hold Normal Attack to start Primordial Chi Spiral and keep holding while Zhoutian Progress consumes Chi. Reaching later stages gives the stronger shield, and the active character is healed once every 6 seconds while that shield remains. Cast Purification Force Field to group the wave, finish building Concerto, then switch directly to the Liberation damage dealer so Transcendence applies to them.

Opening vs. repeat cycles

Intro gives Chi immediately, so the opening after a teammate's Outro reaches Primordial Chi Spiral faster than a repeat entry without Intro. Basic Attacks, Calming Air, Chi Counter or Chi Parry, and Intro are all valid Chi sources. Releasing the held Forte early ends Zhoutian Progress and removes all remaining Chi, so choose a shorter shield deliberately when the team cannot afford the full channel.

Why this skill priority

Forte Circuit and Liberation are listed first because they hold Jianxin's transferable shield, periodic healing, and grouping field. Basic Attack and Skill follow because they generate Chi and occupy most of her setup. Intro is listed third even though it is useful for a quick pull and starting Chi.

Required buffs and assumptions

The full sequence assumes Jianxin can safely channel Primordial Chi Spiral long enough to reach the intended Zhoutian stage. She takes 50% less damage and gains interruption resistance during the channel, but this is not immunity. Her Outro only benefits the single incoming character and ends early if that character switches out.

Energy Regen target

No minimum Energy Regen target is listed in the current build data. Purification Force Field costs Resonance Energy and supports both grouping and Jianxin's field contribution, so add Energy Regen when it is not ready each cycle. Marcato supplies 51.8% Energy Regen and Concerto rather than a direct team damage passive.
