How skills work

The girl's skills are aimed at inflicting ice damage on one or more targets, making her effective not only against elite opponents, but also enemy clusters. The main feature of the character is considered to be the state that advances her action, increases the critical chance and allows you to use an enhanced skill, which is the main source of damage. However, in return, the health of allies decreases, which requires a more careful and attentive approach to the battle.

The order of leveling abilities

Skill ≥ Talent > Superpower > Basic Attack

Emboldening Salvo — the main source of DPS. As a rule, it is the enhanced skill that is used, which does not consume skill points. After that, they are pumped up in parallel талант to get buffs and superpower to apply additional damage to the area. Level base hit is increased last because it is used the least (or not used at all).

Tracks

Overall increase in stats from upgrading the talent tree:

Crete. damage	37,3%
Speed	9 units.
HP	10%

Eidolons

All character cons:

E1	Using a super ability or enhanced skill increases crit bonus by 24% for 1 turn. If only one enemy is hit, they also receive ice damage equal to 100% of the heroine's attack power 1 time.
E2	After using the super ability, the damage of the next enhanced skill "Moon on the Frozen River" is increased by 80%.
E3	Superpower level +2. Talent level +2. The maximum level is 15.
E4	In the Spectral Transmigration state, the attack power gained from consuming allies' HP is further increased by 90% of the total HP consumed by the entire squad, up to a maximum increase of 30%.
E5	Skill level +2. Max level - 15. Basic attack level +1. Max level - 10.
E6	When entering the Spectral Transmigration state, 1 level of the Syzygy status is granted. While in this state, the critical bonus is increased by 50%.

Jingliu's Best Eidolons: E1, E2 и E4.

• First - increases the overall combat potential of the heroine during combat by increasing critical damage and inflicting additional damage on one target.
• Second - Increases the damage of the enhanced skill if used after the super ability. A great buff that is easy to activate.
• Fourth — provides an additional increase to ATK in the state of "Spectral Transmigration". Due to this, the overall DPS also increases, since the heroine is in this state almost the entire battle.

As a result, the Eidolons are good, but they do not provide serious buffs that would fundamentally affect the gameplay. Therefore, it is not necessary to knock them out. If you still want to invest, we recommend paying attention to the signature cone.

How to Play Jingliu in HSR

In combat, the heroine relies on her enhanced form of Spectral Transmigration to deal increased ice damage to multiple targets. To enter this state, she must gain 2 level status "Syzygy". This can be done in the following ways:

• Use technique before battle - 1 stack.
• Use normal skill - 1 stack.
• Use Super Ability - 1 stack.

The main goal is to enter a special state and stay in it for as long as possible. However, it is important to keep in mind that performing attacks in an enhanced form spends not only the HP of allies, but also status levels. Therefore, it will be necessary to restore stacks in time to extend the effect of Spectral Transmigration.

General principles for constructing a Jingliu rotation:

1. Before the battle, use the technique to create a frost field. Thanks to this, the former Sword Master will receive 15 units of energy, 1 level Syzygy status, and also has a 100% base chance of freezing enemies.
2. Use the skill to deal Ice damage to one target and gain more 1 level status. Thus, at the end of the action, the heroine will go into the state of "Spectral Transmigration".
3. The status will advance the action by 100%, so activate the enhanced skill immediately after the transition. This will also consume 1 status level and remove 4% of HP from the max health of other allies.
4. Cast the Ultimate when there is 1 stack remaining to deal increased damage from the Ultimate and extend the duration of Spectral Transmigration. It is recommended to activate the Ultimate while in Stance to maximize DPS.
5. Use the enhanced skill for the next 2 turns to spend the remaining levels. After that, the swordswoman will return to her normal form (if the ultimate has not yet been charged). To re-enter the state, use skill + skill or skill + superpower.

At step #4 (i.e. after using the enhanced skill), you can re-use the skill if the super ability is not yet charged. While the animation is happening, the heroine will receive energy and will be able to activate the ultimate to extend the effect of the form.

Advantages and disadvantages

Jingliu is an experienced swordswoman who can defeat any opponent. However, like many other heroes, she has her strengths and weaknesses.

Advantages	Disadvantages
Universalism. Deals high damage to an area and to one enemy. Shows itself well in various situations and is effective in ing difficult combat content.	Consumes HP of allies in the Spectral Transmigration state. Although the health loss is small, it can have a negative effect in a prolonged fight.
Saving Skill Points. The empowered skill does not consume skill points, which simplifies rotation and gameplay through auto-combat. This also allows other allies to use the skill more often.	The team is in particular need of a character. Paths of Abundance, since taking into the constant waste of HP, allies become quite vulnerable.
Built-in buffs. Talent increases critical chance by 40-50%, ATK and advances its action. In addition, the traces contain additional bonuses to critical damage, speed and health.	While the action progression mechanic gives an advantage over enemies, it "burns through" buffs/shields that last a certain number of turns (meaning they end early).
Flexibility. Being "friendly" in of spending skill points, she can, if necessary, take the position of a secondary damage dealer, which expands the choice of teammates.	You need to be in a stance most of the time. For this purpose, you will need speed and/or a with the necessary buffs, otherwise the overall DPS will drop.
Suitable for F2P. Shows well on E0 with a free cone from Hertha's store "On the Fall of the Aeon". Although her signa is strong, it is not considered mandatory, like the Eidolons.

Squad Guide

In the team, Jingliu plays the role of the main DPS, as she is able to deal with opponents alone. Her classic squad consists of secondary damage dealers and s, who help with additional damage, various buffs, protect or heal.

In turn, healers are a priority over shielders, since allies lose HP anyway due to the mentor's talent, which makes them vulnerable (especially in difficult battles). You can refuse a healer if the shield is applied to everyone, and it is strong enough.

Due to the fact that the heroine is quite economical in of spending skill points, she is also able to play in the same team with other main DPS if necessary.

Which characters are suitable?

The following heroes are best paired with the Swordswoman:

Examples of the best teams

Examples of possible units:

Is it worth knocking out?

Jingliu is a Path of Destruction character who specializes in dealing ice damage to single and multiple targets. Her specialty is the "Spectral Transmigration" state, which moves the action forward by 100%, increases crit. chance, attack power, and allows the use of an enhanced version of the skill. However, the "nuance" is that in this mode, the HP of allies is consumed.

The former Sword Master does little to compensate for the team's lost HP, except that she doesn't spend skill points in her enhanced form and has good synergy with those who get buffs from it (like Blade). Despite her specificity, she can play with literally any character. But getting a well-trained healer is practically a must in a squad with her.

Overall, the heroine is quite F2P friendly: she doesn't have any particularly important eidolons and is able to show herself effectively with a free cone for "On the Fall of the Aeon"). It is also not very demanding to assemble, since it receives a large amount of critical chance in an enhanced form, which means it allows you to focus on other important parameters.

Achievements with character

There are two achievements associated with the girl, but neither of them can be completed in the test run.

• Out of four people... - Use a unit to reduce any ally's HP to 1 in a single battle. Reward: star jade ×5.
• Martial Arts Ceremony: Fencing - Use the unit to deal the final blow and star jade ×5.
