Jingliu’s Abilities in Honkai Star Rail
Jingliu’s Traces are exceptionally good in Honkai Star Rail
- Basic Attack: Lucent Moonglow – Deals Ice DMG to a single enemy target.
- Skill 1: Transcendent Flash- Deals Ice DMG to a single enemy target and gains a number of stacks of Syzygy.
- Enhanced Skill: Moon on Glacial River – Deals Ice DMG to a single enemy target and a proportional amount of Ice DMG to adjacent targets. Consumes a number of stacks of Syzgy. This ability doesn’t consume Skill Points.
- Ultimate: Florephemeral Dreamflux – Deals Ice DMG to a single enemy target and a proportional amount of Ice DMG to adjacent targets. Gains a number of stacks of Syzgy after the attack ends.
- Talent: Crescent Transmigration – When Jingliu has 2 Syzygy stacks, she enters the Spectral Transmigration state with her Action Advanced, and her CRIT Rate increased. Then, Jingliu’s Skill “Transcendent Flash” is enhanced to “Moon On Glacial River,” and only this enhanced Skill is available for use in battle. When Jingliu uses an attack in the Spectral Transmigration state, she consumes HP from all other allies equal to a percentage of their respective Max HP (this cannot reduce allies’ HP to lower than 1). Jingliu’s ATK increases proportionately based on the total HP consumed from all allies for this attack, capped at a percentage of her base ATK, lasting until the current attack ends. Jingliu cannot enter the Spectral Transmigration state again until the current Spectral Transmigration state ends. Syzygy can stack up to 3 times. When Syzgy stacks become 0, Jingliu will exit the Spectral Transmigration state.
- Technique: Shine of Truth– After using this Technique, creates a dimension around Jingliu that lasts for a duration that inflicts Freeze on all enemies in this dimension. After entering combat with enemies in the dimension, Jingliu immediately regenerates Energy and obtains 1 Syzygy stack, with a 100% base chance of Freezing enemy targets for a number of turns. While Frozen, enemy targets cannot take action, and receive Additional Ice DMG at the start of every turn. Only 1 dimension created by your team can exist at a time.
Jingliu Eidolons in Honkai Star Rail
Jingliu’s Eidolon 1 makes her a powerhouse in the game
- Level One: Moon Crashes Tianguan Gate – When using her Ultimate or enhanced Skill, Jingliu’s Crit Damage increases by 24% for one turn. If only one enemy target is attacked, the target will additionally receive ICE DMG equivalent to 100% of Jingliu’s ATK.
- Upon activating her Ultimate, Jingliu’s enhanced Skills will receive an 80% damage increase as part of the Level Two upgrade, known as Crescent Shadows Qixing Dipper.
- The level of Jingliu’s Ultimate and Talent will be increased by two with a maximum upgrade level of 15 in Level Three: Halfmoon Gapes Mercurial Haze.
- In the Spectral Transmigration state, Jingliu’s attack is boosted by 90% of the total HP consumed from all allies. The limit for this increased attack is also raised by 30%, at Level Four: Lunarlance Shines Skyward Dome.
- Level Five: Astral Radiance of Night Shades – Enhances Jingliu’s Skill by two levels, with a maximum upgrade level of 15, and boosts her Basic Attack by one level, with a maximum upgrade level of 10.
- Jingliu gains one stack of Syzygy when she enters the Spectral Transmigration state at Level Six: Eclipse Hollows Corporeal Husk. In addition, her Crit Damage is boosted by 50% while in this state.
Top Light Cones for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail
Jingliu’s signature Light Cone is the best one to use for the unit in the game
Jingliu’s signature weapon, Brilliant Fixation, is the optimal Light Cone for her. It enhances the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 20%-32% and also grants a stack of Eclipse when an ally is attacked or loses HP, with a maximum of 3 stacks.
Each Eclipse stack provides a 14%-24% increase in DMG for the next attack of the wearer. Upon reaching 3 stacks, the wearer’s next attack will bypass the enemy’s DEF by 12%-20%. The effect is nullified after launching an attack. The Light Cone can only be obtained from the Light Cone Event Warp.
In addition, for those seeking a free-to-play alternative, On the Fall of An Aeon is a highly rated 5-star Light Cone. Additionally, A Secret Vow and Under the Blue Sky are both viable 4-star options.
It is highly advisable to have both A Secret Vow and Under the Blue Sky at maximum superposition. In case this is not possible, On the Fall of An Aeon would be a better alternative.
Recommended Relic and Ornament Set for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail
The most suitable Relic set for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail is Hunter of Glacial Forest. The set’s bonus, which has been listed below, is particularly beneficial for Jingliu.
- 2-Pc: Increases ICE DMG by 10%
- After activating their Ultimate, the wearer’s CRIT DMG will be boosted by 25% for a duration of 2 turns.
The most optimal Ornament set for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail is the Rutilant Arena. This set enhances Jingliu’s CRIT Rate by 8% and grants a 20% increase in basic ATK and Skill DMG once it surpasses 70%.
Trace level-up and stat requirement for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail
Jingliu needs CRIT DMG as a primary stat to enhance damage
Requirement for Tracing
When it comes to prioritizing Traces, these are the three that you need to focus on:
- Skill
- Ultimate
- Talent
Avoid increasing her Basic ATK level as it only deals insignificant damage and has no effect on her abilities.
Stat Requirement
In terms of statistics, these are the priorities that you must focus on:
| Main Stat | Under the state |
|---|---|
| Body: CRIT DMG | CRIT DMG |
| Feet: SPD | ATK% |
| Sphere: ICE DMG | SPD |
| Rope: ATK | CRIT Rate |
Jingliu’s Talent grants a bonus of increasing your CRIT Rate by 50% while in the Spectral Transmigration state. This allows you to focus on building her CRIT DMG as high as possible. It is recommended to maintain a CRIT Rate of at least 30% as it will increase to over 70% while in the Spectral Transmigration state.
This will result in a higher frequency of CRITs, which will perfectly complement the Ornament set Rutilant Arena.
Eidolon Requirement
When pulling for Jingliu, you should consider the following Eidolons:
- Eidolon 1 (Highest Priority): Jingliu gains enhanced Crit DMG through her Enhanced Skill. Additionally, her single target damage output is massively enhanced. Good investment for low spenders and f2p players.
- Eidolon 2 (Good): Jingliu’s Enhanced Skill deals more damage after using her Ultimate.
- Eidolon 4 (Good): Jingliu will gain more attack whenever she drains the rest of the party’s HP.
- Eidolon 6 (Good): Jingliu will gain an extra stack of Syzygy when in Spectral Transmigration state alongside even more Crit DMG.
Best Team Composition for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail
Pela and Bronya are the best partners for Jingliu in the game
Jingliu is a pure DPS character, requiring supportive allies who can both protect her and enhance her damage potential. The optimal companions for Jingliu are Luocha, Pela, and Bronya.
Bronya is a valuable member of this team, providing ATK and CRIT DMG boosts that greatly benefit Jingliu. Additionally, having Eidolon 4 Pela allows her to reduce the ICE DMG resistance of enemies. Lastly, Luocha plays a vital role in keeping Jingliu and the rest of the party alive.
If you do not have access to Pela, Silver Wolf is a suitable alternative that will perform well. Tingyun or Yukong can also be used instead of Bronya. Similarly, Lynx, Natasha, or Bailu can be substituted for Luocha. In addition, Ruan Mei pairs exceptionally well with Jingliu.
One way to enhance Jingliu’s damage significantly is by utilizing a double Harmony team featuring both Bronya and Ruan Mei. It is recommended to also have a healer and a debuff remover on the team as enemies in Memory of Chaos tend to inflict status effects that can cause significant damage.
Jingliu: Pros and Cons in Honkai Star Rail
Jingliu is a remarkable individual, with both strengths and limitations. The advantages and disadvantages of Jingliu are as follows:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| High damage output | Expensive team |
| Easy to build | Timing dependent due to her Spectral Transmigration State |
| f2p friendly | Resource heavy as her abilities need to be maxed out for optimal damage |
| Skill point efficient |
Is it worth pulling for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail?
It is highly recommended to consider pulling for Jingliu even during her rerun in Honkai Star Rail. This is due to the fact that Jingliu is considered one of the top DPS units in the game, surpassing both Blade and Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae at Eidolon 0 without the need for Light Cone investment.
Jingliu is truly worth investing in due to the ease of building her. Unlike most DPS units that require a lot of stats, she is a low time investment. This is because her skills and Relic set provide her with a significant amount of Crit Rate. All that is needed is to focus on building Crit DMG and she will be ready to perform exceptionally well.
In addition, Jingliu does not need as many skill points to inflict damage. When in the Spectral Transmigration state, Jingliu does not use up skill points, allowing you to pair her with greedy units such as Bronya and Sparkle.
