Wuthering Waves: Ultimate Jiyan Guide | Best Build, Weapons, Echoes & Teams

DPS is one of the first things to consider when building a team in Wuthering Waves. It plays a big part in dictating what your team composition will be and what playstyle to adopt. When it comes to choosing a DPS character in this game, the best option in most cases will be Jiyan.

Jiyan is very good at what he does, which is dealing damage. He can take care of any enemy in no time at all, making him an ideal pick for almost any situation. Like all characters in Wuthering Waves though, to get the best out of him, you must use him correctly.

In this guide, we will be looking at what the best way is to play Jiyan in Wuthering Waves. Other than him being very strong, Jiyan is also extremely fun to play. So, by picking him up you will be getting the strongest character and one of the most fun ones to play.

Best Build for Jiyan

How you build a character in Wuthering Waves plays a big part in determining how strong they will feel. The main aspects to consider for your build are your Echos and Weapons. Alongside that it is also important to assemble the perfect team to bring the best out of your character.

We will be looking at the Echoes, Weapons, and team selection in more detail below.

Echos

For your Echos, the Feilian Beringal is easily the best Main Echo to go for. It is one of the best Echos for Aero damage dealers, making it perfect for Jiyan. Other than Feilian Beringal, the Cyan-Feathered Heron is also a perfectly fine option to go for. It isn’t as good as Feiling Beringal, but good enough to do the job.

The stat bonuses you need to be looking at for the secondary stats are going to be:

• Energy Regen
• CRIT Rate
• CRIT DMG
• ATK
• Heavy ATK

Energy Regen is easily going to be your highest priority, mainly because Jiyan is fully dependent on having his Resonance Liberation. He uses a lot of energy and having Energy Regen will make it significantly easy to pilot him. Once you get used to him, you can sacrifice a little bit of Energy Regen for more damage.

Lastly for Sonata effects, you will ideally want to have a full 5-set Sierra Gale bonus. Jiyan loves to have Aero effect bonuses, and having a full Sierra Gale set will help you increase your damage by a lot. Other than that, Lingering Tunes is also not a bad option.

Weapons

As it is his signature weapon, The Verdant Summit is easily the best weapon option for Jiyan. The weapon will give him a huge damage bonus in the form of extra damage related to Resonance skills. This is perfect for Jiyan, as it perfectly complements his overall playstyle and ideal fighting pattern.

If you don’t have the Verdant Summit or want to use something else, weapons like the Lustrous Razor or Autumntrance are pretty good alternatives. Jiyan is mainly just going to be used to dish out damage, and in that aspect, both of these weapons are a bit worse than the Verdant Blade.

Team

You can use up to 3 characters in a team when playing Wuthering Waves. Your team in Wuthering Waves should always be focused on balance above anything else. So, you will need a good balance of DPS and support.

For Jiyan, what you need is 2 characters that will help Jiyan do what he does best, which is dishing out maximum damage. So, what is the best team composition for Jiyan?

Well, Jiyan is always going to be your team’s main DPS. Alongside him, you will ideally want one support too. Verina perfectly fits that role as she is at the moment, one of the best support characters in Wuthering Waves. She will provide a lot of damage boost and healing to your team, helping you substantially increase Jiyan’s overall damage.

The third character to round out your comp can be a Sub-DPS character. This character should be able to deal good secondary damage and help out your team. Mortefi should be able to do that as he has more than good enough damage and will help boost Jiyan’s heavy attack damage.

Both Mortefi and Verina have to be unlocked if you want to use them. If you don’t have them, you can go for someone like Yangyan for Sub-DPS and Baizhi for support. they are both unlocked by default, meaning everyone will have access to them. Of course, they aren’t as good as the previous 2, but they are good enough to do the job until you unlock Mortefi and Verina.

Overall Playstyle

Jiyan is honestly pretty easy to play, considering how strong he is. He will take you some time to get used to his attack patterns and stuff, but nothing too complicated.

The main thing to remember about Jiyan is how reliant he is on his Resonance Liberation move. To fully maximize your damage potential, try to always use Jiyan with his Resonance Libteration. Once you get a hang of how he works, Jiyan becomes a force to be reckoned with.
