How the kit works
Before a fight, Shine of Truth creates a dimension for 20 seconds and freezes enemies inside it. Entering combat with those enemies gives Jingliu 15 Energy and one Syzygy stack, with a 100% base chance to Freeze them for one turn. Only one allied Dimension Effect can exist at a time.
Use Transcendent Flash to gain Syzygy. At two stacks, Crescent Transmigration gives her another stack, advances her action by 100% and replaces the Skill with Moon On Glacial River. The enhanced Skill consumes one Syzygy and hits adjacent targets without costing a Skill Point.
Florephemeral Dreamflux also hits the main target and adjacent enemies, then grants one Syzygy after the attack. You can use it to reach the entry threshold or extend the enhanced state. Syzygy normally caps at four, and the state ends at zero.
While enhanced, each attack consumes 5% of each teammate’s Max HP, without reducing them below 1 HP. Allies taking damage or consuming HP grants Moonlight: each stack gives 44% CRIT DMG, up to five stacks. Moonlight disappears when the state ends. After allies take damage or consume HP 20 times in total, Jingliu gains one Syzygy; each attack received by each target counts once.
Build and why
Use four pieces of Scholar Lost in Erudition. It gives 8% CRIT Rate and 20% Skill and Ultimate DMG; after an Ultimate, the next Skill gains another 25% DMG. Pair it with Bone Collection's Serene Demesne for 12% Max HP and, at 5,000 Max HP, 28% CRIT DMG.
Rutilant Arena is an alternative planar set. Its 20% Basic ATK and Skill DMG bonus needs 70% current CRIT Rate, so count the 50% gained in Spectral Transmigration. Hunter of Glacial Forest is another relic option. Genius of Brilliant Stars offers DEF ignore, with more against Quantum Weakness, although its two-piece Quantum DMG bonus does not help Jingliu’s Ice attacks.
For main stats, use HP Percentage or CRIT DMG on the body, SPD or HP Percentage on the feet, Ice DMG Boost on the sphere, and Energy Regeneration Rate or HP Percentage on the rope. The recommended substat order is CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, HP Percentage, then SPD. Avoid building excess CRIT Rate once her in-combat bonus is counted.
Flame of Blood, Blaze My Path is the first weapon choice: it raises Max HP and boosts Skill and Ultimate attacks while consuming the wearer’s HP. I Shall Be My Own Sword follows; teammates losing HP can build its Eclipse stacks for her next attack. A Trail of Bygone Blood is a four-star option with CRIT Rate and Skill and Ultimate DMG.
Leveling priority
Follow the game’s order: level Transcendent Flash first, then Florephemeral Dreamflux, Crescent Transmigration and Lucent Moonglow. The Skill comes first for Jingliu’s attacks, while the Ultimate and Talent support her damage and enhanced state. Basic is last.
For maximum ascension, you need 308,000 Credit, 65 Gelid Chitin, and 15 each of Immortal Scionette, Immortal Aeroblossom and Immortal Lumintwig.
For all skills, you need 3,000,000 Credit, 8 Tracks of Destiny, 18 Shattered Blade, 69 Lifeless Blade, 139 Worldbreaker Blade and 12 Regret of Infinite Ochema. You also need 41 Immortal Scionette, 56 Immortal Aeroblossom and 58 Immortal Lumintwig.
Eidolons worth it
As a suggested priority, Eclipse Hollows Corporeal Husk is the largest upgrade to consider. Entering Spectral Transmigration raises the Syzygy limit by one and grants two extra stacks. It also gives 30% Ice RES PEN during that state.
Lunarlance Shines Skyward Dome adds 20% CRIT DMG per Moonlight stack while enhanced. Crescent Shadows Qixing Dipper gives the next enhanced Skill 80% more DMG after the Ultimate, making that sequence more rewarding.
Moon Crashes Tianguan Gate gives 36% CRIT DMG for one turn when Jingliu uses her Ultimate or enhanced Skill, and adds Ice DMG to the primary target. E3 and E5 raise skill levels rather than adding a separate mechanic. They are less distinct stopping points; you still need to obtain earlier Eidolons to reach later ones.
Teams
Jingliu wants sustain because her attacks in Spectral Transmigration drain the rest of the team. Hyacine is a Wind sustain option named for her teams; Lynx is a Quantum alternative. Leave room for a buffer or debuffer rather than relying on Jingliu alone to increase her damage.
For example, pair Jingliu with Hyacine, Tribbie and Silver Wolf. Tribbie is a Quantum buffer, while Silver Wolf is a Quantum debuffer. Bronya is another Wind buffer to consider. Match the remaining slots and elements to the fight.
Jingliu gives the team Ice damage against a primary target and adjacent enemies. Her enhanced Skill does not use Skill Points, leaving those points available for teammates.
Common mistakes
Do not ignore the team’s HP just because Jingliu’s drain cannot reduce teammates below 1 HP. Enemies can still attack them, so bring sustain and watch their health during longer fights.
Do not judge CRIT Rate from the character screen alone. Jingliu gains 50% in Spectral Transmigration, and Rutilant Arena checks her current CRIT Rate. Check the in-combat value before replacing useful CRIT DMG or HP Percentage.
Do not treat every Ultimate as a reason to wait for the enhanced state. Its Syzygy stack can help Jingliu enter that state as well as extend it. Also keep the four-stack limit in mind: gaining Syzygy at the limit makes her next attack ignore 25% of the target’s DEF.
