Jiyan Best Full Build Guide -- Wuthering Waves

As the first limited main DPS in Wuthering Waves, Jiyan holds considerable potential in Aero teams, particularly due to his ease of use. He specializes in auto-dodging and high burst damage, can gather enemies, and gains interruption resistance during his ultimate.

In this article, LDShop will provide a detailed Jiyan Best Full Build Guide to help you maximize his potential.

 

Jiyan Overview

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Aero | Weapon: Broadblade

Jiyan is a 5-star Aero Broadblade-wielding Resonator positioned as a main DPS, with strong versatility. He is relatively straightforward to pick up, excels in AoE combat with multi-hit attacks, and relies on his Resonance Liberation to enter a special state for high-damage heavy attacks. While his initial learning curve is gentle, mastering his combo rotations presents a greater challenge, but once perfected, it enables him to deal substantial damage.

Jiyan's Kit Breakdown

Jiyan's kit revolves around his unique "Resolve" mechanism and powerful "Qingloong Mode."

• Core Mechanism: Resolve
• Ways to Gain:
  • Hitting enemies with Normal Attacks.
  • Hitting enemies with the Intro Skill "Tactical Strike."
• Normal Attack: Its primary function is to accumulate "Resolve" and prepare for the core damage rotation.
• Resonance Liberation: This is Jiyan's core damage state. The entire skill rotation is designed to activate and maximize damage during the "Qingloong Mode" duration.

Skill	Priority
Resonance Liberation	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Top

Jiyan Best Weapons

Best Choice

Verdant Summit

ATK: 587.5 | Crit. DMG: 48.6% | Recommendation: Top

As Jiyan’s signature weapon, it excels not only in his hands but also serves as a top-tier option for any Broadblade-wielding damage dealer. It boasts a substantial CRIT DMG stat for strong scaling, a consistent 12% universal damage bonus, and a conditional Heavy Attack DMG increase of up to 48%—triggered after using one or two skills or a Resonance Liberation.

 

Alternative 5-Star

Ages of Harvest

ATK: 587.5 | Crit. DMG: 24.3% | Recommendation: High

An excellent fit for Jiyan, especially if you already possess Ages of Harvest for Jinhsi, who gains a more significant boost from it. The weapon offers standout stats—high base ATK, 24% CRIT Rate, and a 12% DMG Bonus—that benefit any Broadblade DPS. Jiyan can also make solid, though not exceptional, use of its additional Skill DMG Bonus.

 

Alternative 4-Star

Aureate Zenith

ATK: 412.5 | Crit. DMG: 40.5% | Recommendation: Mid

This weapon boasts solid base ATK and CRIT DMG. Its passive effect is triggered upon using the Ultimate, granting a boost to both ATK and Heavy Attack DMG. It is particularly potent for Broadblade users who specialize in Heavy Attacks, while remaining a versatile pick for other damage dealers.

Conclusion - Is it worth pulling for Jiyan's Resonance Chain?

F2P/low-budget players should skip Jiyan's Resonance Chain. Whale players can aim for C3 or C6. His signature weapon should be your top priority. As an alternative, pulling for the new Aero DPS, Cartethyia, gives you more bang for your buck compared to Jiyan's Resonance Chian. There are also rumors of a Cartethyia rerun in the future, so keep an eye out for that.
