Jiyan Overview
Jiyan uses Broadblade during the fight. Jiyan is a 5-Stars Aero character in Wuthering Waves.
Midnight Rangers’ commander, Jiyan, is a man of righteous and resolute heart. He is able to bend the slightest breeze into the sharpest lance. His perennial experience in battles and as a leader on the battlefronts opposing the Lament, allowed him to witness the truths and cruelties of the world.
Being a commander bears the duties of decision making, some pained him, yet none dazed him.
Jiyan Review
Jiyan is a 5-Star Aero character in Wuthering Waves.
Aero Damage’s DPS character relies on the Intro Skill to activate, and after initiating the Resonance Liberation ultimate, Heavy Attacks account for about 90% of the total damage. When Resonance Liberation is activated, the attack mode changes, offering a larger attack range and the ability to suppress lightweight enemies.
The high attack frequency of the Lance of Qingloong allows for the quick activation of stacking Inherent Skills and Weapon Effects. When paired with Morfeti, it can deal very high total damage against multiple enemies.
Pros
- Simple operation and easy to master, requiring little practice to maximize damage during the Liberation period.
- Based on fast-switching combat techniques in Ming Tide, you can switch teammates immediately after each use of the Lance of Qingloong to minimize teammate downtime and increase the overall DPS of the team.
- Jiyan can control small enemies, enhancing his safety in ToA.
Cons
- Overly reliant on the Intro Skill, making it unsuitable for 1V1 scenarios.
- Without proficiency in fast-switching, the charging time is relatively long.
- Requires a certain amount of Energy Regen to improve charging issues (recommended 15%).

Increases Energy Regen by 12.8%/16%/19.2%/22.4%/25.6%. When Resonance Skill is released, increases Resonance Liberation DMG by 7%/8.75%/10.5%/12.25%/14%, stacking up to 3 times. This effect lasts for 12/12/12/12/12s.

Jiyan Team Comp
Jiyan Best Team
Main DPS
Sub DPS
The main damage type of Jiyan is Heavy Attack Damage. Morfeti’s Outro Skill provides Heavy Attack DMG Deepen, making Morfeti the best teammate for Jiyan. Additionally, Morfeti has off-field coordinated attacks, offering substantial output compared to other Sub DPS options.
Sanhua provides Normal Attack DMG Deepen, which is not useful for Jiyan. However, Sanhua’s high-frequency switching and rapid energy restoration make her versatile and applicable to many teams. S6 Sanhua can increase the entire team’s ATK%.
Aalto provides Aero DMG Deepen, making Aalto a good alternative to Morfeti. However, Aalto’s energy insufficiency can affect the team’s overall damage output.
Healer
Verina’s healing abilities and Concerto Energy acquisition abilities are both greater than Baizhi’s, making her the preferred healer character. Verina’s Inherent Skill provides a one-time death immunity effect. Baizhi also has a similar effect that is even better, but it requires unlocking at Sequence 5.
Verina’s healing amount is based on her ATK, so Verina has a certain degree of damage output. If you build it well, her damage should not be underestimated.
Verina’s Inherent Skill can provide a 20% attack buff to the entire team, while Baizhi can only provide a 15% attack buff to a single character.

More Build Guides
Danjin
High damage, low survivability. Among 4-star characters, Danjin has the highest overall damage output. The Resonance Chain benefits are the highest among 4-star characters.
With a smooth-damage output flow, a high Resonance Chain Danjin has damage close to or even surpassing low Resonance Chain 5-star characters. Danjin has the shortest attack animation lock in the entire game. In a single damage output cycle, Resonance Skill damage and Heavy Attack account for approximately 45% and 42% respectively.
Danjin’s unique feature is that using Resonance Skill accumulates Forte Circuit Energy even if it doesn’t hit the enemy, thus in actual combat, the proportion of Heavy Attack damage will be higher.
Chixia
Obtained immediately upon entering the game, this character has the highest burst damage among four-star characters and is the best fit for the Battle Pass Pistol. Using R1 permanent five-star weapons as the 100% standard, a fully leveled Battle Pass Pistol can reach 110%.
In Chixia’s burst damage output, Resonance Skill damage accounts for over 60%. If the Double-Boom Boom technique is mastered (using Resonance Liberation immediately after the second Boom Boom and then using Boom Boom again after Resonance Liberation ends), the proportion of Resonance Skill damage can be even higher.
Although the Resonance Liberation Energy requirement is quite high, the Resonance Liberation Multiplier is the highest among four-star characters, making the damage very considerable.
Mortefi
A off-field synergy attack character with great potential. It is the 4-star up character in the same banner as Jiyan.
The Outro Skill buff is very suitable for Jiyan, making it Jiyan’s best support so far. Due to the Inherent Skill 2 has increment effect, the theoretical damage provided during the Resonance Liberation is very high. Additionally, the efficiency of Resonance Energy and Concerto Energy acquisition is decent.
