Honkai: Star Rail – Jingliu build and ascension guide

by

Display the prowess of the ex-Sword Champion of Luofu, utilizing an exceptional Honkai: Star Rail Jingliu setup. Despite being labeled a traitor by Xianzhou following his fall to Mara, Jingliu appears to have regained a semblance of normality. As an adherent of the Destruction’s Path, she inflicts Ice damage while draining the health of her allies to power her fighting style.

Title Skill: Transcendent Flash
Description: This skill unleashes an icy blast that inflicts damage on a single enemy, the severity depending on Jingliu’s Attack Power. Additionally, it places a stack of Syzygy on the targeted foe.

Title Skill: Flash of Transcendence
Description: This skill shoots an icy projectile at one enemy, dealing damage based on Jingliu’s attack power. It also adds a Syzygy stack to the enemy hit.

Jingliu’s final ability, called Dreamflux of Fleeting Flowers, dishes out ice damage that scales with Jingliu’s attack power to a single enemy. It also impacts adjacent foes and adds a single layer of Syzygy to the targeted opponent.

After Jingliu collects two piles of Syzygy, her unique ability called Crescent Transformation activates. This transition places her in the Spectral Transmigration state, increasing her action by 100% and enhancing her CRIT Rate. While in this state, Jingliu is only able to employ the enhanced skill Moon On Glacial River. This skill drains the health of Jingliu’s allies, amplifying her ATK stat according to the amount of health taken. The Moon On Glacial River Skill then delivers Ice damage to a single target based on Jingliu’s ATK, and it also deals burst damage to nearby enemies, consuming one stack of Syzygy in the process.

Jingliu could potentially possess a maximum of three sets of Syzygy altogether. Once all these sets are empty, she exits the Spectral Transmigration state once more.

With each extra version of Jingliu obtained, her capabilities become enhanced at the Eidolon Levels.

Level 1 amplifies both her Ultimate and Enhanced Skill by dealing extra damage when only a sole target is present, while also raising her Critical Damage (CRIT DMG). Level 2 intensifies the damage of the next Enhanced Skill employed following the activation of her Ultimate. Level 4 boosts the Attack (ATK) that Jingliu gains from consuming the health of allies. Lastly, at Level 6, Jingliu can acquire another Syzygy stack when transitioning into the Spectral Transmigration state, which in turn raises her CRIT DMG in this state.

Honkai: Star Rail – Jingliu: best Light Cones

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but appreciate Jingliu’s offensive-focused gameplay. Amplifying her Attack (ATK), Critical Rate, and Critical Damage (DMG) is indeed a brilliant strategy. Her signature move, I Shall Be My Own Sword, perfectly embodies this approach by enhancing her Critical DMG. This ability also harmonizes beautifully with the HP consumption mechanic: whenever an ally takes a hit or loses HP, Jingliu gains a stack of Eclipse, with a maximum of three stacks. Each stack empowers her next attack, making it deal more damage. If she reaches the maximum stacks, this empowered attack partially bypasses the target’s Defense.

For most Destructive Light Cones, their advantages aren’t fully realized by her because Jingliu doesn’t deplete her own health points. However, she can still gain significant statistics from them.

Best Light Cones for Jingliu in HSR:

  • I Shall Be My Own Sword (5-Star)
  • On the Fall of an Aeon (5-Star)
  • Something Irreplaceable (5-Star)
  • The Unreachable Side (5-Star)
  • Under the Blue Sky (4-Star)
  • Nowhere to Run (4-Star)
  • Collapsing Sky (3-Star)

Honkai: Star Rail – Jingliu: best teams

Jingliu insists on having a substantial duration of sustain for her team because she often depletes her allies’ health points, and this also helps activate the skills of specific other characters.

  • Jingliu (Main DPS), Sunday (Support), Ruan Mei (Support), Huohuo (Support)

On Sundays and alongside Huohuo, they can swiftly rejuvenate Jingliu’s energy, enabling her to unleash her Ultimate more frequently, thereby enhancing her overall damage capacity. Meanwhile, Ruan Mei contributes to offensive enhancements and ensures the opponents remain vulnerable due to her own Ultimate.

  • Castorice (Main DPS), Jingliu (Sub DPS), Tribbie (Support), Hyacine (Support)

In this team setup for Castorice, Jingliu stands out as a reliable Sub DPS due to her ability to capitalize on any health loss by her own team members. On the other hand, Tribbie and Hyacine make excellent Support characters because they both excel in HP-oriented gameplay.

You could also play this composition with Blade as the Main DPS.

Honkai: Star Rail – Jingliu: ascension materials

As an avid enthusiast, here’s a breakdown of the steps I followed to help Jingliu reach the peak level and maximize all her talents:

1. Consistently complete daily quests and challenges to earn experience points (XP).
2. Participate in battles against powerful enemies to gain battle points (BP), which can be used for talent upgrades.
3. Regularly open treasure chests, as they often contain valuable items that aid in leveling up and talent enhancement.
4. Collaborate with other players for additional XP and BP rewards through cooperative gameplay.
5. Prioritize completing special events, as they offer unique bonuses and opportunities to accelerate Jingliu’s growth.
6. Keep an eye on any updates or announcements regarding the game, as developers may release limited-time events or boosts that can help speed up Jingliu’s progress.

To reach level 80, Jingliu needs these ascent materials on top of the required experience points:

  • Credits x308,000
  • Immortal Scionette x15
  • Immortal Aeroblossom x15
  • Immortal Lumintwig x15
  • Gelid Chitin x65

You can gather Immortal Scionettes, Aeroblossoms, and Lumintwigs from foes in Xianzhou Luofu and the Simulated Universe. Additionally, you can produce or trade them using the Omni-Synthesizer on the Astral Express. Immortal Scionettes are a common resource that can be effortlessly produced through your characters’ Daily Assignments, providing a consistent supply. Gelid Chitin is obtained from the Stagnant Shadow (Cloudford) or by exchanging other scarce materials of similar rarity. The primary source for Credits is the Golden Calyxes scattered throughout the universe.

Jingliu requires the following materials to upgrade her combat abilities and Traces:

  • Credits x3,000,000
  • Immortal Scionette x41
  • Immortal Aeroblossom x56
  • Immortal Lumintwig x58
  • Shattered Blade x18
  • Lifeless Blade x69
  • Worldbreaker Blade x139
  • Regret of Infinite Ochema x12
  • Tracks of Destiny x8

To find Shattered Blade, Lifeless Blade, and Worldbreaker Blade, look up in the section above where these materials were previously listed. They can be obtained from the Crimson Calyx (Storage Zone). Following our regular procedure, you can craft high-level materials by using lower-level ones in the Omni-Synthesizer onboard the Astral Express.

The Scarce Resource called Regret of Infinite Ochema is exclusively found within the domain known as Scalegorge Waterscape from Echo of War. On the other hand, Tracks of Destiny can be acquired during special events, through The Embers Exchange, The Nameless Honor, or as a prize for accumulating Simulated Universe Points.
