Jianxin Overview

Jianxin, born amidst the untamed realm and nurtured within the confines of a Taoist community, has been bestowed with the wisdom of Fengyiquan, a formidable martial art.
Her formative years cultivated within her an unwavering commitment to refining her martial prowess, driven by an unadulterated and unwavering determination.
Now, she embarks on a voyage into the realm of ordinary existence, eagerly seeking to taste the complexities of everyday life and attain a profound comprehension of the world that encompasses her.
In Wuthering Waves, Jianxin is a 5-Stars Aero character and uses Gauntlet during the fight.

Jianxin Review

Jianxin is a permanent 5-Star Aero character in Wuthering Waves.

Possesses comprehensive support abilities, capable of providing shields, healing, and pulling enemies together. The range and intensity of the pulling enemies are currently the best in the version, but still not excellent.

Resonance Skill is a damage-immune defensive counter, making it very suitable for novice players unfamiliar with action games to tackle high-difficulty dungeons.

Although it has damage output capabilities, the multipliers are very low and it lacks burst methods.

Pros

  • Can provide high-value shields that are shared across the team, and during the shield duration, continuously restores the health of on-field characters.
  • The pulling enemies effect of Resonance Liberation is particularly helpful in floors with many small enemies, providing support to high-burst but small-area damage characters, saving a lot of time.

Cons

  • The efficiency of accumulating Concerto Energy and Resonance Energy is low, and Forte Circuit energy cannot be used in batches.
  • Once Forte Circuit is used, regardless of whether the energy is fully consumed, the Forte Circuit energy will be cleared after exiting the charge state.
  • Jianxin’s pace is relatively slow, creating a sense of disparity with the fast-paced combat characteristic of Wuthering Waves. Moreover, if there is already a healer in the team, Jianxin’s shield and healing abilities seem somewhat redundant.

Details

Base ATK : 337

Secondary Stat – Energen Regen : 51.8%

When Resonance Skill is released, restores Concerto Energy by 8/10/12/14/16. This effect can be triggered 1 time every 20s.

As mentioned in the review session, the fatal flaw of Jianxin is that the efficiency of accumulating Concerto Energy and Resonance Energy is too low. Therefore, as a Sub DPS, sacrificing Jianxin’ DPS with to use the weapon with the highest energy regen is the best option. Marcato is the best choice for Yanxin as a Support weapon.

Jianxin Team Comp

Jianxin Best Team

Sub DPS – Yinlin/Sanhua/Jianxin

Yinlin’s Outro Skill perfectly complements Calcharo. During Resonance Liberation, Calcharo’s Liberation Damage and Basic Attack Damage are approximately in a 2:1 ratio. Yinlin also provides Resonance Liberation Deepen and Electro Damage Deepen.

Sanhua’s Outro Skill provides a 38% Basic Attack DMG Deepen, which is lower than Yinlin’s. However, Sanhua’s Concerto Energy generation efficiency is higher.

Jianxin’s Outro Skill provides a 38% Resonance Liberation DMG Deepen. At first glance, Jianxin might seem more suitable for Calcharo than Sanhua. However, Jianxin’s low Concerto Energy generation efficiency results in a slower start-up for Calcharo.

On the upside, Jianxin can provide an additional shield, which enhances Calcharo’s survivability in high-difficulty contents (given that Calcharo’s operation difficulty is relatively high).

Healer – Verina/Baizhi

Verina’s healing abilities and Concerto Energy acquisition abilities are both greater than Baizhi’s, making her the preferred healer character. Verina’s Inherent Skill provides a one-time death immunity effect. Baizhi also has a similar effect that is even better, but it requires unlocking at Sequence 5.

Verina’s healing amount is based on her ATK, so Verina has a certain degree of damage output. If you build it well, her damage should not be underestimated.

Verina’s Inherent Skill can provide a 20% attack buff to the entire team, while Baizhi can only provide a 15% attack buff to a single character.

More Build Guides

Danjin

High damage, low survivability. Among 4-star characters, Danjin has the highest overall damage output. The Resonance Chain benefits are the highest among 4-star characters.

With a smooth-damage output flow, a high Resonance Chain Danjin has damage close to or even surpassing low Resonance Chain 5-star characters. Danjin has the shortest attack animation lock in the entire game. In a single damage output cycle, Resonance Skill damage and Heavy Attack account for approximately 45% and 42% respectively.

Danjin’s unique feature is that using Resonance Skill accumulates Forte Circuit Energy even if it doesn’t hit the enemy, thus in actual combat, the proportion of Heavy Attack damage will be higher.

Chixia

Obtained immediately upon entering the game, this character has the highest burst damage among four-star characters and is the best fit for the Battle Pass Pistol. Using R1 permanent five-star weapons as the 100% standard, a fully leveled Battle Pass Pistol can reach 110%.

In Chixia’s burst damage output, Resonance Skill damage accounts for over 60%. If the Double-Boom Boom technique is mastered (using Resonance Liberation immediately after the second Boom Boom and then using Boom Boom again after Resonance Liberation ends), the proportion of Resonance Skill damage can be even higher.

Although the Resonance Liberation Energy requirement is quite high, the Resonance Liberation Multiplier is the highest among four-star characters, making the damage very considerable.

Mortefi

A off-field synergy attack character with great potential. It is the 4-star up character in the same banner as Jiyan.

The Outro Skill buff is very suitable for Jiyan, making it Jiyan’s best support so far. Due to the Inherent Skill 2 has increment effect, the theoretical damage provided during the Resonance Liberation is very high. Additionally, the efficiency of Resonance Energy and Concerto Energy acquisition is decent.
