Wuthering Waves · 5★ Resonator
"Nether Qi Art" The lone wanderer of the mirage realms
Jingran is a Nethermancer from Mengzhou: A lone explorer who roams mirage realms and forgotten ruins, bound to no sect or doctrine. He wields a Broadblade with the Fusion element, switching between the Yin Vessel and Yang Font stances to build Qi and unleashing it with big Heavy Attacks. His DEF is permanently 0; he draws his power from Max HP and grows his damage with the Ghost Shroud he builds up as he gains shields. He is the newest main DPS of Version 3.6.
Jingran is a limited 5★ Resonator; he arrived in the second phase of Version 3.6 (September 10-29, 2026) with the "Where Santu Beckons" banner. He does not drop from the standard banner, so you can only pull him with Radiant Tide while his banner is active; a 5★ is guaranteed within 80 pulls, and your first 5★ has a 50% chance to be the featured character. His signature weapon, Thousandfold Deliverance, was on the weapon banner during the same period.
2-piece: HP + {0}
5-piece: Upon gaining a Shield, gain {0} increase in Crit. Rate for {2}s, max {1} stacks. This effect can be triggered every {3}s. At max stacks, gain {4} Fusion DMG Bonus.
The 2-piece gives HP +10%; the Crit. Rate that stacks as he gains shields and the 15% Fusion DMG at max stacks are a perfect fit for Jingran, who gains shields constantly.
Myriad Snare: Rustfire Chassis
Its Echo Skill deals Fusion DMG based on Max HP; in the main slot it provides 12% Fusion DMG and 12% Heavy Attack DMG Bonus.
With his signature weapon, the 4-4-1-1-1 layout (two crit 4-costs + three HP% 1-costs) is usually recommended; aim for 50,000+ HP and 120-125% Energy Regen at Lv 90. Jingran's DEF is 0, so DEF substats are completely wasted.
Signature weapon. Its 72.2% HP main stat makes the high HP threshold easier to reach; with Crit. DMG that stacks from shields and Intros, plus Heavy Attack Crit. Rate and DEF ignore bonuses, it is by far the best.
Augusta's signature weapon; a strong alternative with a Crit. Rate main stat and a Heavy Attack DMG bonus after an Intro or Resonance Skill, but it makes the HP target harder to reach.
Jiyan's signature weapon; its Crit. DMG main stat and stacking Heavy Attack DMG Bonus passive also work on Jingran.
The best 4★ option: A Crit. DMG main stat plus ATK and a Heavy Attack DMG bonus after the Liberation.
A 4★ Broadblade with a Crit. Rate main stat; it gives an ATK bonus that stacks on Basic and Heavy Attack hits.

Totals are calculated from game data: Every ascension stage from 1→90, skills 1→10 and every skill tree node.
In Yin Vessel he performs the four-hit Drink Soul combo, in Yang Font the four-hit Devil's Bane; the 3rd and 4th hits count as Heavy Attacks and fill 50 Qi each. Dodge Counters grant 100 Qi, and Shadow Step, performed with a directional dodge, links into the combo chain.
Deals Fusion DMG with Encroaching Yin or Scorching Yang depending on the stance and grants a short Cleanse of Impurity. During it, a mid-air Basic Attack performs Netherworld Traverse or Afterlife's Guide, which count as Heavy Attacks, and fills 100 Qi.
Once 300 Qi is full, holding Basic Attack performs a big Heavy Attack, Soul Raid or Stardome Meander, and switches stance. As Fire of Life from the Liberation is consumed, the multipliers of these hits increase for every 1,000 Max HP above 25,000; his DEF is permanently 0.
Lands a Fusion strike that counts as a Heavy Attack; it grants 100 Fire of Life, 200 Qi and 3 Wayfarer's Mark, and if his HP is above 50%, pulls it down to 50%. In the 15 s Yinghuo state, each big Heavy Attack summons Chimei Wangliang, which deals extra Heavy Attack DMG.
Deals Fusion DMG on entry, grants 100 Qi and converts accumulated Ghost Shroud into Fortune in Disguise stacks. Each stack provides extra Fusion DMG Bonus based on Max HP (up to 2.5% per stack).
As Jingran leaves the field, he lands a single powerful strike that deals Fusion DMG equal to 795% of his ATK.
Using his Intro or Resonance Skill grants Earth Charm for 15 s: While he is on the field, dealing damage creates shields based on Max HP (smaller in Yinghuo). These shields feed Ghost Shroud and set bonuses.
On entering combat, Ghost Shroud is topped up to at least 25; Jingran also collects Ghost Shroud whenever teammates gain shields. A passive that rewards playing with supports who give shields.
When the target's Off-Tune level is full, he can perform a Tune Break; pressing Basic Attack afterward continues the combo with the 2nd hit of Drink Soul or Devil's Bane depending on his stance.
He is fully functional at S0; aim for his signature weapon first. As a first Sequence investment, S2 gives the biggest jump, S3 is a good stopping point, and S6 is his damage ceiling.
The multipliers of his Resonance Skills and their mid-air follow-ups increase by 80%; these attacks become immune to interruption.
The multipliers of Soul Raid and Stardome Meander increase by 46%; on entering combat he gains 300 Qi and Netherworld's Boon, which grants an energy refund and 180% DMG Amplification.
Big Heavy Attacks grant Ghost Shroud; for 15 s after the Liberation he gains 50 extra ATK for every 1,000 Max HP (up to 2,500).
When anyone on the team gains a shield, the whole team gets 20% All-Attribute DMG Bonus for 30 s.
When he takes a fatal blow he is not downed and gains a shield equal to 50% of Max HP for 15 s (once every 10 minutes).
Targets take 40% more Heavy Attack DMG from Jingran, Chimei Wangliang's multiplier increases by 80%, and dealing damage in Yinghuo summons additional Chimei Wangliang.
Jingran
Iuno
Shorekeeper
Iuno is the best sub DPS for Jingran and boosts Heavy Attack DMG; Shorekeeper restores the HP his Liberation takes away while boosting crit stats.
A lineup that backs up Fusion DMG with Lupa and Mornye; a strong alternative if you do not have Iuno.

Jingran is a limited 5★ Resonator. He arrived in the second phase of Version 3.6 (September 10-29, 2026) with the "Where Santu Beckons" banner and can only be pulled with Radiant Tide while his banner is active.
5-piece Lamp of Nether Road; its HP bonus and the Crit. Rate and Fusion DMG gained from shields are made for him. Use Myriad Snare: Rustfire Chassis as the main Echo.
His signature weapon, Thousandfold Deliverance, is by far the best; its 72.2% HP main stat makes the high HP target easier. Thunderflare Dominion and Verdant Summit are alternatives, and Aureate Zenith and Autumntrace work as 4★ options.
It is not a bug but part of his design: Jingran's DEF is permanently fixed at 0. He draws his survivability and damage from Max HP, shields and healing, so DEF stats give him nothing.
The strongest lineup is Jingran + Iuno + Shorekeeper. Lupa and Mornye for Mono Fusion, and Lynae and Mornye for a Tune Break focused team, are good alternatives.
To ascend him you need Forged Empyrean's Sigh from Calamity Effigy, Cloudperch Seed and Whisperin Cores. His skills use the Carved Crystal series, Whisperin Core and Skyward Glazed Heart, the weekly material dropped by Thousand-Puppet Pavilion.
