If you're a Honkai: Star Rail fan, you've probably already noticed the changes to Jingliu in the latest patch. With her rework and buffs, there's a lot to unpack. Whether you're pulling for her or just curious about how she performs now, this guide will break down everything you need to know: the best builds, optimal teams, and recommended Light Cone options.
Let’s dive in!
Jingliu's New Stats and Reworked Abilities
After her rework, Jingliu has gained significant power, but there are some important things to keep in mind. The biggest change is the shift from HP scaling to Attack scaling. Her entire kit is now designed to maximize the damage output based on her HP, which opens up new opportunities for stronger builds but also introduces some challenges.
Key Changes to Jingliu’s Kit:
-
HP Scaling: Unlike her original kit, where her damage was reliant on attack, her new abilities scale with her HP. This is a major shift that may require a change in how you build her.
-
Spectral Transmigration Buffs: Jingliu’s new passive abilities let her enter a state that boosts her damage and provides some interesting interactions with her CCG stacks.
-
Changes to Eidolon Effects: Jingliu’s Eidolons (E1, E6, etc.) have also been updated. The E6 effect now comes as part of the base kit, making it available earlier.
While these changes make her more versatile, there are some trade-offs—especially since certain elements of her build are now reliant on her HP.
The Best Team for Buffed Jingliu
Jingliu's performance is heavily influenced by the team you build around her. The right team composition will unlock her full potential, especially since she gains buffs from her CCG stacks and other synergies.
Top Recommended Team Composition:
-
Jingliu (Main DPS): She’ll be your primary source of damage.
-
Hyacinth: A great support character who can boost Jingliu’s damage output with their own abilities.
-
Gallagher (Sub-DPS): If you don’t have Hyacinth, Gallagher can fill in nicely, offering additional damage.
-
TB (Support): TB can provide important buffs and sustain for the team.
-
Main Character (Buffer): You’ll need a character that can support and boost your overall team performance.
This is the core team that works best with Jingliu, but as always, feel free to swap out some characters based on your available roster and playstyle.
Spectral Transmigration & Eidolon Effects in Combat
Jingliu’s new abilities allow her to deal significant damage while managing her HP. When entering the Spectral Transmigration state, you gain extra stacks of CCG, which boosts her damage output. At E6, this effect becomes even stronger, letting you get up to five stacks of CCG, allowing for 25% defense penetration on the next attack after maxing the stacks.
Here’s how the interaction works:
-
Max CCG Stacks: When you hit the maximum stack count (4 stacks at E0, 5 at E6), the next attack will ignore 25% of the enemy’s defense, which is huge for dealing with high-HP bosses or tanky enemies.
-
CCG Stacking Mechanism: Every time an ally’s HP drops, Jingliu gains additional CCG stacks. This means that self-damaging units like Blade can also play a role in speeding up this stacking process. If you’re using the Remembrance Light Cone, Jingliu will gain additional stacks, further boosting her damage.
How to Use Jingliu’s CCG Mechanism Effectively
The key to maximizing Jingliu’s damage output is managing her CCG stacks. Every time her teammates lose HP, Jingliu gains a stack of CCG. This makes her a great character to pair with units like Blade, who deals damage to himself, or other team members who can self-harm or take damage over time.
Tip: Make sure your team is set up to take advantage of this. Jingliu benefits greatly from teammates who can handle a little self-damage, and you’ll want to make sure that you’re consistently triggering her CCG stacks.
Jingliu’s Light Cone Options
Light Cones are a crucial part of any character’s build in Honkai: Star Rail. For Jingliu, certain Light Cones can significantly boost her performance, especially given her new HP scaling abilities.
Top Light Cones for Jingliu:
-
Mighty Light Cone (Signature Light Cone): This Light Cone is perfect for Jingliu. It boosts her HP and offers additional crit damage, making it one of the best options for her. It’s also great because it works in synergy with her CCG stacks, giving you even more ways to deal massive damage.
-
Remembrance Light Cone: Another excellent choice for Jingliu. This one boosts her crit damage, and more importantly, it provides an additional passive that allows her to gain more CCG stacks when her allies lose HP. This can make Jingliu an even more potent damage dealer, especially in longer fights.
-
Second Tier (Non-Signature): If you don’t have the best in slot Light Cones, the second tier Light Cones that boost HP or crit damage are a decent alternative. These provide decent boosts to Jingliu’s performance, but they won’t be as powerful as the signature Light Cones.
Light Cone Strategy
The key with Jingliu’s Light Cones is understanding how her abilities work with her team. Since she gains stacks based on her allies’ HP loss, pairing her with a Remembrance Light Cone ensures that you can take advantage of the extra stacking speed. The Mighty Light Cone will help you maximize her crit damage, allowing her to burst down enemies quickly.
The Best Build for Buffed Jingliu
Now that we’ve covered her Light Cones and team synergies, let’s talk about the best build for buffed Jingliu. Since her new kit revolves around HP scaling, you'll need to adjust her stats to make the most of her new abilities.
Main Stats and Substats:
-
Main Stats:
-
Body (HP%): Since Jingliu scales with HP, you’ll want to prioritize HP% in her body slot. This will directly impact her damage potential.
-
Focus (Crit Rate): Make sure she has enough crit rate to trigger her high crit damage abilities effectively.
-
Feet (Speed): Speed is essential for setting up Jingliu’s attacks, and it ensures she can make the most out of her abilities in a fight. Aim for around 136-137 speed to sync with team buffs.
-
-
Substats:
-
Crit Damage: You’ll need to stack as much crit damage as possible, as Jingliu’s passive ability can significantly boost her crit damage.
-
Speed: Since her optimal speed setup is around 135, don’t forget to invest in speed to ensure that she’s not falling behind in turn order.
-
HP: After crit rate and crit damage, you’ll want to focus on HP as it will scale with her damage. But don’t go overboard since it’s already a major factor in her base kit.
-
Artifact Set
The best artifact set for Jingliu right now is the Cast Set or Blade’s New Set. These provide a huge boost to her crit damage and HP, allowing her to scale better in both the early and late phases of combat. Here's a breakdown of what to prioritize:
-
2-Piece HP Set: Boosting her HP is key to increasing her overall damage potential.
-
4-Piece Set: You want a set that boosts crit damage or attack speed, giving her the ability to deal more damage faster.
Conclusion
Jingliu has undergone a significant transformation in Honkai: Star Rail, and the buffs she’s received have opened up new possibilities for building and playing her. While there are some challenges in adjusting to the new HP scaling, the rewards are more than worth it. With the right team composition, Light Cones, and build, Jingliu can easily become one of the most powerful characters in your roster.
