Back to All Characters

Jingliu has caused great excitement among Honkai: Star Rail players due to her mysterious introduction during the Trailblazer's journey. As a new playable character, she brings her own unique style as an Ice Destruction character, offering players another option for Ice DPS alongside Yanqing. However, Jingliu's gameplay differs significantly from Yanqing’s, as she excels at dealing damage to multiple enemies at once, unlike Yanqing who focuses on single-target attacks. Nevertheless, Jingliu surprisingly still leans towards single-target attacks for a Destruction character, due to her specific damage modifiers.

7 Collapsing Sky

- Enhancing Jingliu's Appeal

This aspect of Jingliu's character adds to her allure, providing players with a unique playstyle and a plethora of strategic options within the game. Jingliu's ability to consume the HP of other team members even serves as a valuable complement to other Destruction characters, such as Blade. Additionally, her varied light cone choices can be subtly influenced by team compositions, while her ATK-based damage scaling allows her to unlock a vast array of light cone options from different rarity levels in Honkai: Star Rail.

Increases the wearer’s Basic ATK and Skill DMG by 32%.

Collapsing Sky proves to be an ideal choice for players in search of a free-to-play (F2P) option. This 3-star rarity weapon perfectly complements Jingliu's abilities, allowing her to effectively utilize its power. As her primary DPS output stems from her Skill, Collapsing Sky enhances her skill's capabilities exceptionally well, particularly when she enters a unique state that further boosts its efficiency.

However, it's worth noting that her Basic ATK won't contribute significantly to accumulating stacks for this special state. Nevertheless, prioritizing the enhancement of her Skill DMG alone is still a valuable consideration, despite the weapon's lower rarity.

6 A Secret Vow

Increases DMG dealt by the wearer by 20%. The wearer also deals an extra 20% of DMG to enemies with a higher HP percentage than the wearer.

A Secret Vow provides a flat increase in damage with its passive ability, which is even more powerful when Jingliu's HP is lower than her enemies'. Although Jingliu may not fully optimize this secondary effect since she doesn't deplete her own HP or directly gain from it like Blade does, there are still instances where this aspect can be beneficial.

Notably, in terms of being a Destruction character, Jingliu possesses a higher taunt rate in comparison to numerous other path users, thus potentially rendering the increased damage from the passive effect of A Secret Vow significant in specific scenarios.

5 The Moles Welcome You

When the wearer uses Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate to attack enemies, the wearer gains one stack of Mischievous. Each stack increases the wearer's ATK by 12%.

The Moles Welcome You is a good choice for Jingliu's light cone if players want to increase her ATK value, which she can greatly benefit from. To fully benefit from this weapon, Jingliu should use her Basic ATK, Skill, and Ultimate at least once to acquire all three stacks as early as possible.

It's worth noting that while The Moles Welcome You is a solid 4-star weapon for Jingliu, most 5-star options will perform better. This becomes especially relevant as some 5-star weapons can be obtained without relying on the Gacha system.

4 On the Fall of an Aeon

Whenever the wearer attacks, their ATK is increased by 16% in this battle. This effect can stack up to 4 times. When the wearer inflicts Weakness Break on enemies, the wearer's DMG increases by 24% for 2 turns.

On the Fall of an Aeon is a fantastic option for players to obtain and maximize in the Herta Store. It is completely free-to-play (F2P) and works seamlessly with Jingliu. This weapon not only provides a significant ATK boost, often surpassing The Moles Welcome You when fully maximized, but it also amplifies Jingliu's damage when she is the one exploiting an enemy's weakness. This is particularly beneficial for players who do not have access to multiple copies of the 4-star rarity option.

3 Something Irreplaceable

While this effect can be situational in certain battles, it is advisable for players to primarily employ Jingliu against adversaries with vulnerabilities to Ice. This will make it comparatively easier to attain the desired condition.

Increases the wearer's ATK by 24%. When the wearer defeats an enemy or is hit, immediately restores HP equal to 8% of the wearer's ATK. At the same time, the wearer's damage increases by 24% until the end of their next turn. This effect cannot stack and can only trigger 1 time per turn.

Clara's signature light cone, Something Irreplaceable, complements Jingliu perfectly. Not only does it boost her damage output, but it also provides healing, adding a defensive aspect to her gameplay. Fulfilling the conditions to activate the HP restoration and damage bonus is relatively easy, especially when facing opponents who frequently deal AoE damage. Moreover, Jingliu's increased likelihood of being targeted, assuming there are no preservation characters in the party, contributes to triggering this effect more often.

To consistently activate the effect, players can utilize characters like March 7th or Lynx, who can increase Jingliu's chances of being targeted each turn. This synergy makes Something Irreplaceable a valuable choice for players seeking to maximize Jingliu's damage potential while incorporating survivability into her play style.

2 The Unreachable Side

S1 Passive

Increase the wearer's CRIT Rate and Max HP by 18%. After the wearer is attacked or consumes their own HP, increases the wearer's DMG by 24%. This effect is dispelled after the user uses an attack.

Despite not benefiting significantly from an increase in HP, Jingliu can still make effective use of Unreachable Side, which is originally designed for Blade. This is due to the substantial Crit Damage boost she receives from her skill tree traces or eidolons, along with the additional Crit Rate she gains during her enhanced state. By combining these abilities with the Crit Rate provided by The Unreachable Side, players can prioritize other stats such as maximizing Crit DMG or enhancing Jingliu's speed and ATK through her relics. This synergy ensures that Jingliu consistently lands critical hits and achieves maximum damage output.

Regarding the second passive effect, although Jingliu is unable to consume her own HP, she can still reap the advantages of the damage increase in a manner similar to achieving it for Something Irreplaceable. However, if players are primarily focused on further augmenting Crit Rate, technically, Imbibitor Lunae's distinctive light cone, Brighter Than the Sun, can also be taken into consideration. Nevertheless, the secondary effect of this weapon may not be as accessible for Jingliu, since she won't frequently utilize her Basic Attacks to fully derive its benefits.

1 I Shall Be My Own Sword

Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 20%. When ally gets attacked or loses HP, wearer gains 1 stack of Eclipse, up to a max of 3 stack(s). Each stack of Eclipse will increase the DMG of the wearer’s next attack by 14%. When 3 stack(s) are maxed out, an additional attack will be delivered that ignores 12% of the enemy’s DEF. This effect will be dispelled after the wearer delivers their attack.

I Shall Be My Own Sword is specifically designed as Jingliu's signature light cone, making it the best choice for her. Not only does it provide additional Crit DMG, but the other effects are also easily accessible for her. She can consume an ally's HP or conveniently attack and cause allies to lose HP against enemies focusing on AoE. Additionally, pairing her with characters like Fu Xuan makes it even easier to obtain stacks. As a result, this light cone is worth investing in for players who don't mind spending extra resources on light cone banners. Its effects are not only valuable for Jingliu, but also for other Destruction characters. Achieving these effects is relatively simple, making it a valuable addition to any arsenal.

Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
