Jianxin Best Full Build Guide -- Wuthering Waves

Archive>>

Jianxin is the successor of Fengyiquan. She has dedicated her life to the pursuit of ultimate martial arts.

From the passage above, it's clear that Jianxin, as a universal wind resonator, can carry the team, provide support, parry attacks, and gather enemies on the battlefield. In the open world, she moves with remarkable agility. Yet, Jianxin is still waiting for the one who recognizes her genius! So, could that very person be a Rover?

Today, LDShop brings you the ultimate full build guide for Jianxin—covering Weapons, Echoes, Materials, and Team Compositions.

 

Jianxin Overview

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Aero | Weapon: Gauntlets

Jianxin's role is a powerful sub-DPS and a flexible "utility card" — she can step in wherever needed. She's also super easy to build for new players: she's complete at Chain 0 and works wonderfully with any Rover. If you manage to get her S2 or above, you can even run her as your main DPS early on!

 

Jianxin Kit Breakdown

Jianxin is a versatile Aero character who functions as a Support, Sub-DPS, Crowd-Control (CC) unit, and Parry specialist. Her kit allows her to flexibly fill multiple roles in a team, from protecting allies to grouping enemies and dealing sustained Aero damage.

• Parry & Counter: Her Resonance Skill (Calming Air) is a central mechanic, allowing her to negate damage and retaliate.
• Chi Management: Building and spending "Chi" is key to unlocking her powerful Heavy Attack: Primordial Chi Spiral.
• Sustained Stance (Zhoutian Progress): By spending Chi, she enters a powerful, tanky state that deals continuous damage and ends with a strong shield.
• Crowd Control: Her Resonance Liberation (Purification Force Field) is a powerful grouping tool that pulls enemies together.

Jianxin Weapon Recommended

Best Choice

Abyss Surges (Top)

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ATK: 587.5 | ATK: 36.45%

This gauntlet stands out as Jianxin's best permanent weapon option. Its Energy Regeneration stat dramatically eases her build requirements, while the passive effect provides a massive ATK increase. The additional DMG for Basic Attacks and Skills is a welcome bonus, though not the main reason for its strength. This makes it an exceptionally powerful and reliable pick for her.

 

Second Choice

Stonard (High)

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ATK: 412.5 | Crit.Rate: 20.25%

This Gauntlet, exclusive to the Battle Pass, provides a substantial CRIT Rate boost despite its modest Base ATK. Its passive enhances Liberation DMG following the use of a Skill. Although this aligns with Jianxin's primary damage source, the overall contribution to her total damage output is limited. Consequently, this weapon tends to be outperformed by several other 4-star alternatives.

 

Alternatives

Gauntlets#21D

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ATK: 387.5 | Energy Regen: 38.88%

When the Resonator dashes or successfully dodges, their ATK is increased by 8%/10%/12%/14%/16% and their Dodge Counter DMG is increased by 50%/62.5%/75%/87.5%/100%. These effects last for 8 seconds. Additionally, upon successfully performing a Dodge Counter, the Resonator heals for 5%/6.25%/7.5%/8.75%/10% of their Max HP. This healing effect can be triggered once every 6 seconds.

 

Echo Sets

It is noteworthy that when Jianxin's Resonance Efficiency attains approximately 180%, the choice of main stats becomes more lenient; both ATK and DEF are viable options, significantly bolstering her durability. Moreover, she has less stringent requirements for Echoes during the early phases of the game, when resources are limited.

Endgame Choice

Sonata Set

Moonlit Clouds 2-piece Energy Regen + 10%. 5-piece Upon using Outro Skill, increases the ATK of the next Resonator by 22.5% for 15s.

Echo

Impermanence Heron Transform into Impermanence Heron to fly up and smack down, dealing 310.56% Havoc DMG. Long press to stay as Impermanence Heron and continuously spit flames, each attack dealing 55.73% Havoc DMG. Once the initial attack lands on any enemy, the current character regains 10 Resonance Energy. If the current character uses their Outro Skill within the next 15s, the next character's damage dealt will be boosted by 12% for 15s. CD: 20s.

 

Echo Stats

Main Stats

COST 4	Crit.Rate / Crit.DMG
COST 3	2 Aero DMG
COST 1	2 ATK

Obtain a Zhoutian Progress 4 Shield (Benefits from Inherent Skill Reflection's bonus effect.)
