Wuthering Waves best Jianxin build
Jianxin is a 5-Star Aero Resonator who uses a Gauntlet. Once you've obtained her through the Permanent Convene, here's the gear and team you should pick to support her:
-
Best weapon: Marcato
- Our top Gauntlet pick for Jianxin is the 4-Star Marcato, which possesses the Ceaseless Aria skill. When Resonance Skill is released, it restores Resonance Energy by eight. This effect can be triggered again every 20 seconds.
-
Best main Echo: Impermanence Heron
- The World Boss, Impermanence Heron, is a solid choice of Echo for Jianxin. By equipping its Echo Abilities, it will deal great damage, but will also restore Resonance Energy and increase the attack of the next character. Solid stat boosts for Jianxin in a support role.
-
Best Echo Sonata Effect: Moonlit Clouds
- By equipping Impermanence Heron, you also achieve the Sonata Effect, Moonlit Clouds. This is where you can take full advantage of the Echo Abilities listed above, increasing the stats of the next member of your team.
-
Best teammates: Calcharo, Yanyang (or any other main DPS and sub DPS Resonators)
- Jianxin works as a great support character for Calcharo due to her Outro Skill boosting Resonance Liberation damage for her teammates. Use this in conjunction with Yangyang in another support position, providing extra Resonance Energy Regen with her Outro Skill and you've got a deadly combination. Calcharo can also be replaced by another main DPS character, as long as damage counts as Resonance Liberation damage to take advantage of Jianxin's Outro Skill. Jianxin can also provide an additional shield for Calcharo, as such she's a great healer to have on your team.

How to use Jianxin in Wuthering Waves
Jianxin is a great support character to your other Resonators, especially when placed in a healing role. Jianxin excels for her skill at providing shields to teammates, healing them, and providing defense by pulling enemies together. Using her Forte Circuit, she can pass on the shield she gets from it to one of her teammates when switching them in. This means it can provide healing boosts to someone other than herself.
Jianxin's Outro Skill, Transcendence provides a buff of the Resonance Liberation damage to the next character switched to on the team. But her helping hand doesn't stop at healing. Using her Intro Skill, Essence of Tao, she can also pull enemies into her target range, dealing Aero damage, and then switching out for another more attack-heavy role to take on the fight.
Jianxin is focused on building up Chi and channeling it into increasingly devastating heavy attacks, dealing out Aero damage to targets around her. While she's a great 5-Star character to have in attack, she excels as a sub-DPS.
