Best Eidolon for Build Jingliu

According to the author, Eidolon is not the main determinant of Jingliu's strength. This was because this sword master from Jingyuan was already very strong without Eidolon.

However, if you have a lot of Stellar Jade or Star Rail Special Pass, Eidolon could be an option for you to get to optimize Jingliu's strength.

The focus of Jingliu's build lies in Trace Skills and Talents, so you can target Eidolons that can strengthen the Trace. There are 3 Eidolons that we recommend, namely:

  • Eidolon 1 (E1): which can increase Crit DMG from Skills
  • Eidolon 4 (E4): which can increase Jingliu's ATK stat when the character enters Spectral Transmigration state
  • Eidolon 6 (E6): Increases Crit DMG and Syzygy Jingliu stack during Spectral Transmigration

Trace Priority for Build Jingliu

Jingliu's basic ATK is Lucent Moonglow, Jingliu will attack 1 target enemy and deal Ice DMG to that enemy.

Jingliu's skill is Transcendent Flash, Jingliu will attack 1 enemy with DMG greater than Basic ATK while getting 1 stack of Syzygy.

This Syzygy stack becomes an important role for Trace Jingliu who will be associated with Talent.

Ultimate Florephemeral Dreamflux from Jingliu will attack enemies AoE and deal Ice DMG to all enemies. At the end of the attack, Jingliu will get 1 stack of Syzygy.

When 2 Syzygy Stacks are active, Jingliu's talent is Crescent Transmigration will activate and make Jingliu enter the named state or mode Spectral Transmigration.

During Spectral Transmigration, Jingliu will get the following buffs:

  • The skill will be changed to Blast which increases Ice DMG and changes to AoE DMG. In this situation, Jingliu does not use Skill Points and uses Syzygy
  • Crit Rate increased
  • Get Advanced Forward 100% so Jingliu's attack takes precedence
  • Uses HP of characters in the party to increase DMG

Technique Shine of Truth, Jingliu will create an area that can freeze the opponent. When you enter fighting mode, Jingliu will get 1 stack of Syzygy, 15 energy to use Ultimate, and the enemy is in Frozen state.

Recommendation trace priority for Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae is Skill = Talent = Ultimate > Basic ATK = Technique..

Relic Recommendations for Build Jingliu

The stats that Jingliu needs to build are ATK, SPD, Ice DMG, Crit Rate, and Crit DMG.

Apart from that, you can look for additional Break Effect, SPD, ATK and Crit sub stats to strengthen Jingliu.

The most recommended Planar Relic for Jingliu is Hunter of Glacial Forest. This 4-PC Set, which is suitable for characters with the Ice element, can increase the user's Ice DMG as well as Crit DMG. 

You can also combine this set with Musketeers of Wild Wheat 2-PC which can upgrade ATK% and SPD.

Genius of Brilliant Stars could be a unique choice that tends to be very optimal in strengthening Jingliu provided that only a full set or 4-PC is used.

This set, which is basically intended for characters with the Quantum element, can make Jingliu's attacks optimal on enemies because it will ignore the enemy's DEF in the Ice element.

The Planar Ornament section is highly recommended Rutilant Arena which can increase Crit Rate and Basic ATK DMG or Space Sealing Station which increases SPD.

Apart from that, ornaments Inert Salsotto which can increase Crit Rate, Ultimate + Follow up DMG you can also use for Jingliu.

Light Cone Recommendations for Build Jingliu

Light Cones For the Destruction character path, you can use Jingliu. The stats and bonuses that you should prioritize from Light Cone for this character are Crit DMG and ATK.

At 5 star rarity, I Shall be My Own Sword became the best Light Cone for Jingliu.

Jingliu's signature Light Cone can have the effect of ignoring DEF which can increase Jingliu's attacks.

Besides that, Brighter Than the Sun and The Fall of an Aeon  is also a great option to use..

A Secret Vow, Under the Blue Sky. and The Moles Welcome You You can choose the 4 star Light Cone.

Collapsing Sky and Mutual Demise could be an initial option for new Honkai Star Rail players who have just been able to get a 3 star Light Cone.

Recommended Team Composition (Party Setup) for Jingliu Honkai Star Rail

As DPS, Jingliu is focused on giving the most damage to the team. So, Hypercarry team composition or characters in the team only help so that Jingliu gets buffs and doesn't die.

However, Jingliu can also be used with other DPS as long as these two DPS characters do not have inversely proportional abilities.

Use Abundance or Preservation characters to protect characters on the team. This is because a lot of DMG is obtained from reducing the HP of characters in the party.

However, Jingliu is a character that is quite friendly for new players because it doesn't require support characters that are only available exclusively like 5 star characters.

The following are some party recommendations for Jingliu:

  • Jingliu + Asta + Trailblazer (Preservation) + Natasha
  • Jingliu + Asta + Natasha + March 7th
  • Jingliu + Bronya + Pela + Luocha
  • Jingliu + Bronya + Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae + Luocha
  • Jingliu + Blade + Asta + Lynx
  • Jingliu + Bailu + Tingyun + Pela
  • Jingliu + Lynx + Asta + Natasha
  • Jingliu + Lynx + Silver Wolf + Pela
