Jianxin

Who is Jianxin?

Jianxin is a calm martial arts master who follows the teachings of the Tao and treasures her inner peace; she is affiliated with Jinzhou. She is a standard 5★ Resonator who wields Gauntlets with the Aero element. Her attacks build Chi, and while she spends that Chi through her Forte Circuit, she becomes resistant to interruption and gains a shield; as long as the shield lasts, the active character is healed at regular intervals. Her Resonance Liberation creates a wind field that pulls enemies toward its center. Her real value lies in her Outro: It amplifies the next character's Resonance Liberation damage by 38% for 14 s, so she is played as a support next to Liberation-based DPS units.

How to get Jianxin

Jianxin is a standard 5★ Resonator and is not tied to any specific banner. She can come from the permanent Tidal Chorus banner, which you pull with Lustrous Tides, from losing the 50/50 on limited character banners, and from the Beginner's Choice Convene that new players can use once (the 5★ you pick is guaranteed within 80 pulls). On Tidal Chorus a 5★ is also guaranteed every 80 pulls, but you cannot choose which character you get.

Jianxin skills

Normal Attack

Fengyiquan

Consists of a four-hit Aero combo, a Stamina-consuming Heavy Attack, a powerful diving kick from midair and a Dodge Counter. Hits fill Chi, her Forte resource.

Resonance Skill

Calming Air

Holding Resonance Skill puts her into Parry Stance; if she is attacked during it, she takes no damage and immediately strikes back with Chi Counter. Releasing the button cancels the stance into Chi Parry; using the skill and landing hits both grant Chi.

Forte Circuit

Primordial Chi Spiral

When Chi reaches 120, hold Basic Attack to start Primordial Chi Spiral and enter Zhoutian Progress: She becomes resistant to interruption, takes 50% less damage and fires Chi Strikes around her as she spends Chi. The higher the Zhoutian stage she reaches, the stronger the shield she gains, and while the shield lasts, the active character is healed every 6 s. Releasing the button early stops the progress and loses all remaining Chi.

Resonance Liberation

Purification Force Field

Creates a powerful wind field that keeps pulling the enemies inside toward its center while dealing Aero damage, then hits them again with a burst as the field fades. Ideal for grouping small packs of enemies; the pull is weaker on heavy enemies.

Intro Skill

Essence of Tao

Pulls enemies in range toward her on entry, dealing Aero damage and granting Chi. Opening the rotation with the Intro both groups enemies and gives her Forte a quick start.

Outro Skill

Transcendence

The incoming character's Resonance Liberation damage is amplified by 38% (Amplify) for 14 s or until they leave the field. This buff is Jianxin's real value to the team.

Inherent Skill

Formless Release

The damage of the Resonance Liberation Purification Force Field increases by 20%, so the enemy group you pull together takes a harder blast.

Inherent Skill

Reflection

The shield from the Heavy Attack Primordial Chi Spiral is 20% stronger, which makes survival in tough content noticeably easier.

Tune Break

Tune Break: Gauntlets

When the target's Off-Tune level is full, Jianxin can perform the Gauntlets-specific Tune Break attack. It is a mechanic shared by all Resonators that opens an extra damage window on the staggered enemy.

Jianxin sequences (Resonance Chain)

Jianxin's contribution to the team comes from her Outro and shield, so she does her job even at S0. S1 and S2 speed up her rotation, while S4 greatly increases her Liberation damage and gives the biggest jump to players who use her for her own damage.

1. S1

   Verdant Branchlet

   For 10 s after the Intro Skill, Basic Attacks generate 100% more Chi, so you fill your Forte much faster.

2. S2

   Tao Seeker's Journey

   Resonance Skill Calming Air can be used one more time.

3. S3

   Principles of Wuwei

   After she stays in Parry Stance for 2.5 s, Chi Counter becomes available immediately, so you can counterattack without waiting to be hit.

4. S4

   Multitide Reflection

   Using Primordial Chi Spiral increases Purification Force Field's damage by 80% for 14 s.

5. S5

   Mirroring Introspection

   Purification Force Field's area of effect expands by 33%, making it easier to group enemies.

6. S6

   Truth from Within

   If you perform Pushing Punch during Zhoutian Progress, you can use Special Chi Counter once within 5 s: It deals Aero damage equal to 556.67% of ATK that counts as a Heavy Attack and grants the strongest (level 4) Zhoutian shield.

Jianxin tips

• Enter the field with the Intro and fill Chi to 120 quickly using Resonance Skill and Basic Attacks.
• Do not release Basic Attack early during Primordial Chi Spiral: The progress stops and all your Chi is lost. For the strongest shield, reach the Major Zhoutian - Outer stage before your Chi runs out.
• Cast the Liberation into the middle of enemy groups: The wind field pulls them to the center and sets up an ideal target for your teammates.
• Use Parry Stance against attacks whose timing you know; Chi Counter both blocks the damage and grants Chi.
• The Outro buff only boosts Resonance Liberation damage, so pair Jianxin with Liberation-based DPS units such as Iuno, Xiangli Yao or Calcharo.
