Characteristics of Jiyan

As the hero's level increases, his main characteristics increase: health, defense and attack power. The exact increments to certain indicators depending on the stage of elevation can be found using the table:

Level of	Base HP	Base attack power	Basic protection
1	839	35	97

In the process of ascending, Jiyan receives additional increases in crit. chance and base attack power. In the first case +8%, in the second - +12%.

Jiyan's abilities

Jiyan is a basic DPS character who specializes in dealing Aero damage. Copes well with groups of opponents, in addition, perfectly demonstrates its own combat potential in battles with bosses and high-level elite enemies. His main advantage is heavy hits, including heavy fall attacks, as well as his ultimate skill. Under the influence of the effect of the ult, it deals the highest percentage of damage, which is why it can claim not only crit. assemblies, but also builds that offer the hero additional increases in the rate of energy recovery.

Next, we will analyze in detail the features of Jiyan’s skills in WuW, as well as significant nuances associated with their mechanics. Additionally, we will consider switching skills (Intro and Outro), ive talents and resonant chains - consts, which are analogous to constellations and eidolons.

Active skills

• Basic attack, heavy attack and its enhanced variations, air attack and counterattack

Basic Attack [Basic Attack] - performs up to 5 consecutive attacks, causing Aero damage.

Heavy attack [Heavy Attack] — spends stamina and performs consecutive strikes, causing Aero damage.

1. Heavy Attack: Windrunner Strike [Heavy Attack: Windborne Strike] - Hold Basic Attack to perform a Heavy Strike to cast Windrunner and deal significant Aero damage.
2. Heavy Attack: Deep Strike [Heavy Attack: Abyssal Slash] - Use a series of heavy strikes to deal significant Aero damage with Deep Strike.

Air attack [Mid-air Attack] — spends stamina and deals a “piercing” Aero blow while falling.

1. Air Attack: Victory Banner [Mid-air Attack: Banner of Triumph] - after activating “Heavy Attack: Windrunner” or the main resonance skill in the air, deals a “piercing” Aero strike while falling.

Counterattack [Dodge Counter] - Use a basic attack after a perfect dodge to deal Aero damage.

• Resonance Skill [Resonance Skill: Windqueller] — makes a sharp leap forward, causing Aero damage.

• Resonant release, enhanced state "Azure Dragon Qing Long", active exclusively during resonant release, and enhanced heavy attacks, active exclusively during resonant release

Resonant release [Emerald Storm: Prelude] — puts the character into an enhanced state.

1. Enhanced state [Qingloong Mode] — offers the hero the following buffs: 1) increased resistance to interrupting attacks; 2) active attacks are replaced with enhanced heavy attacks.
2. Enhanced Heavy Attack [Heavy Attack: Lance of Qingloong] — performs up to 3 continuous heavy attacks, causing Aero damage.

• Resonance scale [Forte Circuit: Qingloong at War] — when using the resonance skill, if the energy of the resonance scale is filled by 30 units. or more, this amount of resonance is consumed to increase the damage from the resonance skill by 20%. In case Jiyan is in an enhanced state (from resonance release), using the resonance skill does not consume the resonance scale. At the same time, the damage from the skill is still increased by 20%.

• Enhanced Resonant Release [Emerald Storm: Finale] — when applying resonant release, if the energy of the resonance scale is filled by 30 units. or more, a given amount of resonance is consumed to enhance the resonant release. This inflicts a heavy Aero strike, which can also be played from the air at low altitude.

The maximum amount of energy on Jiyan's resonance scale is 60. The character is able to fill the resonance scale using normal and heavy attacks, as well as an Intro skill (entry skill). In this case, the hero must hit the enemy with blows. If a character does not deal damage with active abilities for several seconds, his resonance scale gradually decreases.

Switching skills

• Intro skill [Intro Skill: Tactical Strike]

Jiyan pierces the opponent in the air, dealing Aero damage.

• Outro skill [Outro Skill: Discipline]

When the next character's Heavy Attack hits the enemy, Jiyan summons Qing Long's Azure Dragon and performs a contiguous strike that deals damage equal to 313.40% of the attack power. The effect on the allied hero is an azure-colored aura, its duration is 8 seconds: Qing Long strike is carried out once every 1 second. Their total number for the specified time period is 2.

ive skills

• Natural Talent 1 [Inherent Skill: Heavenly Balance]

After using the Intro skill, Jiyan's attack power increases by 10%. The duration of the effect is 15 seconds.

• Natural Talent 2 [Inherent Skill: Tempest Taming]

When Jiyan's attacks hit the target, he gains an additional boost to crit. damage in the form of 12%. The duration of the effect is 8 seconds.

The order of pumping skills

Resonance Release ≥ Resonance Gauge > Resonance Skill > Intro Skill ≥ Basic Attack

To strengthen Jiyan evenly, it is recommended to upgrade your skills in a sequential manner. Especially if there are enough resources. Otherwise, the priority of skills is as follows:

• resonant release [Emerald Storm: Prelude => Finale] and resonance scale [Forte Circuit: Qingloong at War] - interconnected abilities, where the resonance scale, when filled, greatly enhances resonant release - the main source of damage, and therefore is paramount within the investment;
• resonance skill [Resonance Skill: Windqueller] - similar to resonant release, it receives a third-party boost when the resonance scale is full and complements the rotation while Jiyan is in the state of the Azure Dragon Qing Long, additionally has a short recovery time, therefore, can often be used to cause high damage ;
• Intro skill [Intro Skill: Tactical Strike] - strengthens the hero, offering additional increases to attack characteristics, in addition, it deals good damage and is relatively often used in rotation due to switching to other resonators and back;
• basic attack [Basic Attack] - ideally rises on par with the Intro skill and resonance skill, however, if there are no materials, it “fades” into the background, given the general’s general connection to the game from resonance release.

Resonant circuits (consts)

All Jiyan resonant circuits:

Sozvezdie	Description
Benevolence	The resonance skill can be used repeatedly (+1 times). Activating the skill consumes 15 units. resonance scale energy.
Versatility	After using the Intro skill, Jiyan receives 30 units. resonance scale energy, and his attack power increases by 28% for 15 seconds. This effect can be activated no more than once in 1 seconds.
Spectacle	After using the Resonance skill, Resonance Release, Enhanced Resonance Release or Intro skill, crit. Jiyan's strike increases by 16% and crit. damage - by 32%. The duration of the effect is 8 seconds.
Prudence	After activating Normal or Enhanced Resonant Release, the damage bonus from Heavy Attacks of all squad is increased by 25%. The duration of the effect is 30 seconds.
Resolution	Outro skill damage multiplier increases by 120%. Each time Jiyan hits an enemy, he gains 3% attack power. This bonus can be stacked up to 15 times and lasts 8 seconds. Additionally, the effect is immediately enhanced after using the Intro skill.
Fortitude [Fortitude]	Every time Jiyan uses a Heavy Attack, Intro skill or Resonance skill, he will gain 1 lvl. “Impulse” effect, which can stack up to 2 times. Empowered Resonant Release "absorbs" levels of the Impulse effect, and in return offers an additional 120% damage boost to hits made while in Empowered Resonance Release.

The best consts of Jiyan are considered to be - Cost-3, Cost-5 и Cost-6:

• third constellation offers an additional boost to such important combat characteristics as crit. damage and crit. blow, due to which the overall combat potential of the character increases;
• fifth constellation significantly increases the hero's attack power, which will be especially useful during prolonged battles - for example, in the process of completing high-level content “Tower of Adversity” or “Depths of the Illusive Realm”.
• the sixth, as one of the most expensive investments, is aimed at increasing the combat potential of the Midnight Rangers General's enhanced resonance release (an ultimate ability at "R" when the energy of the resonance scale is filled). Thus, the significance of the ability increases significantly, and subsequently the importance of additional increases in the “energy recovery rate” characteristic.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Jiyan

Having figured out how Jin’s skills work in Wuwaring Waves, we can conclude about the main “pros” and “cons” of the Midnight Rangers general.

Advantages	Disadvantages
High explosive damage and AoE potential, which consists of the resonant release of the hero. Able to quickly deal with crowds of opponents, “twisting” them into the tenacious “storm” grip of the Azure Dragon Qing Long under “Emerald Storm: Prelude” and/or “Emerald Storm: Finale”.	Requirement for energy. Since the largest percentage of damage occurs in the enhanced state from resonant release, there is a need for third-party increases in the “energy recovery rate” characteristic, or requires heroes who can “drown out” this need.
High synergy with many epic resonators, including those issued for free. The most attractive pairings are, for example, Jiyan and Yang Yang or Jiyan and Mortefi.	“Linking” to the energy of the resonance scale. Activating the resonance skill and ultimate skill while the resonance scale is full receives additional boosts.
Low requirements for Resonance Chain and signature weapons. There is an extensive list of epic alternatives that are good replacements for legendary weapons.

Best Jiyan builds in WuW

Jiyan in Wuvering Waves is the main combat unit of the squad, specializing in dealing Aero damage. Predominantly relies on heavy hits that consume stamina and an ultimate skill that acts as a resonant release. Easily deals with groups of opponents, demonstrates high damage figures during battles with single targets, be they bosses or elite monsters encountered while exploring the open world.

Despite the fact that allied characters are largely capable of strengthening the general’s attacks, his equipment also becomes an important factor for the character. Without suitable weapons, as well as in the absence of useful Echo components, the hero loses most of his own combat potential. To avoid this problem, you need to understand how to collect Jiyan in WuVe. In addition to equipment, it is important to know which characteristics should be upgraded first. Next, we will present the rating of the best weapons and Echo for Jiyan, which will allow you to fully realize the characteristics of the character.

Recommended value of characteristics

Based on the main and secondary characteristics that need to be pumped up for Jiyan, you can come to their optimal value for the maximum stage of character elevation (level 90):

• Attack Power — from 2-000 units;
• Aero damage — from 40-70% and above;
• Crete. chance — from 50-75% and above;
• Crete. damage — from 100-150% and above;
• HP — from 15 units;
• protection — from 1 units.

Separately, it is worth considering such an indicator as “energy recovery rate.” This stat can be upgraded to 125-140%, if the squad has a second active DPS character, who, during a break from Jiyan’s main actions, also scrolls through his own rotation. In this case, the general’s accumulation of energy will take place in a more accelerated manner, and he will be able to use a combination of personal skills on an ongoing basis. If Jiyan is the only DPS hero in the group who takes priority time on the battlefield, then the optimal stat value is 115-125%.

Best weapon

A weapon for Jiyan should not only increase the damage of his main skills, but also preferably offer additional boosts to offensive stats, be it attack power or crit. chance and crit. damage. The best weapon for a character is considered to be the general's signature sword - Verdant Summit, but in its absence some epic and even rare alternatives will do. For the latter, level 5 is important. awakening [Rank 5].

Best Echo

If we talk about artifacts for Jiyan, the highest priority options will be sets or combinations of sets aimed at increasing elemental damage, that is, Aero elements. As an addition, in turn, you can also consider percentage increases in the rate of energy recovery, especially if you want to base the general’s gameplay on frequent activation of resonant release.

Recommended key metrics for Echo:

Cost-4	Crete. chance or crit. damage
Cost-3	Aero damage
Cost-3	Aero damage or energy recovery rate
Cost-1	Attack power in %
Cost-1	Attack power in %

As secondary characteristics, it is worth considering additions to the following stats:

• energy recovery rate;
• Crete. damage and crit. chance - in the range of 2:1, that is, at 150% crit. The damage should be about 50% crit. chance;
• attack power - percentage increases are considered first.

In a separate guide, you can find Echo's tier list.

Units for Jiyan

Jiyan in Wuwaring Waves primarily occupies the position of the main damage-dealing hero, since his abilities are tailored for continuous attacks on opponents. In groups, he highly values ​​ characters, especially those whose skills are aimed at increasing the combat characteristics of allies. Additionally, secondary damage dealers who prefer to deal damage from the “pocket” will be happy.

Best characters

Let's take a look at the characters that offer good synergy to Jiyan:

Top Teams

With the heroes presented above, you can create the following units for Jiyan:

A budget option with Jiyan as a hypercarry, which will be effective both in the early and late stages of mastering the game. Rotation within the battle:

1. Yang Yang enters the battle and charges the Concert gauge, simultaneously accumulating energy to activate Resonant Release. Once the other resonator icons light up, use your ultimate to pull normal enemies and group them around a more powerful enemy.
2. Switch to Jiyan: Outro with Yang's skill Yang will restore the general's energy, Intro with Jiyan's skill will cause targeted Aero damage to one of the opponents. Activate the Echo skill, followed by the resonance skill.
3. Use the resonant release of Jiyan to enter an enhanced state. Deal increased damage with heavy attacks and reactivating the resonance skill.
4. Switch to Yang Yang and repeat the sequence 1 => 2. If you need healing, use Baiji's active skills, then return to the rotation 1 => 2.

An ideal squad for Jiyan as a main DPS character:

1. Verina begins the battle: the heroine charges the Concert gauge and accumulates energy to use her own resonant release. When the icons of other characters “light up”, the transition to Mortefi is made. Thus, Verina's Outro skill will increase his attack power, and also offer a bonus to increase outgoing damage to the entire group.
2. Continue attacking Mortefi's opponents: complete the damage "roll" of the Resonance and Resonance Release skills. Then switch to Jiyan. Mortefi's outro skill will increase the damage from heavy blows of the general.
3. Use Jiyan's active abilities, including Resonance Release. Then return to Verina and repeat the sequence of actions 1 => 3.

How to Play as Jiyan: Rotation

Jiyan's rotation in WuVe, in turn, is based on the constant “scrolling” of the following recommendations:

1. Selected character or secondary DPS hero starts the battle and charges its own skills until the icons of other resonators “light up”. If Verina is present in the squad, then she becomes the initiator of the battle, and switching heroes comes down to the following: Verina => secondary DPS hero (for example, Mortefi) => Jiyan. If a hero is chosen as , whose skills are aimed only at strengthening one character (for example, Yang Yang), then the starting rotation comes down to the following: Yang Yang, completing the rotation with the resonance skill (“screed”) => Jiyan.
2. In case Jiyan is equipped with an Echo that offers bonus increases to elemental damage or other stats, then before using the general's abilities, it is recommended to activate the main Echo creature ("Q" by default).
3. The general’s attacks come down to the constant activation of heavy blows - either “direct” or in the fall, that is, from the air, since they offer high damage figures. that if the resonance scale (active bar above HP) is charged, that is, it has from 30 units. energy, the applied resonance skill will cause increased damage.
4. As for resonant release, its activation should be carried out at the full scale of resonance (again, from 30 units of energy). This convention will allow Jiyan to enter the enhanced state of Qing Long's Azure Dragon.

Is it worth knocking out Jiyan at Wuthering Waves?

The General of the Midnight Rangers is a powerful independent DPS character of the highest tier, whose features will allow you to resist monsters of various activities, be it the “Tower of Adversity” or the “Depths of the Illusive Realm”. Among the epic characters, he has a lot of resonators, which will become an excellent for the hero not only in of the proposed gains, but also as an additional DPS unit. He doesn’t need a signature weapon: there is a good variety of epic alternatives that also allow you to maximize Jiyan’s DPS and offer good bonus increases to both attack characteristics and overall outgoing damage from certain types of attacks.

Rotation is not distinguished by “complex” nuances. The principle of playing as a general is moderately simple and extremely effective: a combination of heavy attacks and resonant release offers high damage figures. As a result, Jiyan is a good unit that can cover the need for third-party independent damage, which will help you the starting content, as well as high-level content, without any problems. If you need a hypercarry for the first or second/third squad, the general of the Midnight Rangers will be an ideal option.
