Jingliu is a 5-Star Ice character of The Destruction path added to Honkai: Star Rail in Phase 1 of version 1.4. <\/p>\n
While Jingliu is featured as the boosted 5-Star character on her Gentle Eclipse of the Moon Banner in version 2.1, she will eventually return to Honkai: Star Rail at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to her. <\/p>\n
Whether you have her or want to prepare for if you do Warp for her successfully, it's good to know the best Jingliu build, including her best Relics and best team. It's also handy to learn what her Eidolons are, and what Ascension materials and Trace materials are needed to level up Jingliu to her full potential. <\/p>\n

Jingliu is a 5-Star Ice character of The Destruction path and is best at providing both single-target and multi-target damage, while paired with characters who have high HP, or with a healer who can heal allies consistently. <\/p>\n
All of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Traces. <\/p>\n
Here's a summary of Jingliu's kit in Honkai Star Rail: <\/p>\n
You need to use Jingliu Ascension materials to upgrade her health, attack, defence, and critical hit effectiveness. <\/p>\n
You need to get a lot of Gelid Chitin and Immortal based materials for Jingliu to fully upgrade her capabilities. <\/p>\n
In total, the Jingliu Ascension Materials in Honkai: Star Rail are: <\/p>\n
For more details, here's what Jingliu Ascension materials you need per level: <\/p>\n
Just like Ascension, to get the most out of using Jingliu you will have to level-up her attacks and passive abilities by using Trace materials, which vary from character-to-character. <\/p>\n
For Jingliu you need to use a lot of Safeguard of Blade and Immortal based materials to fully upgrade her capabilities. <\/p>\n
In total, to upgrade all of her Traces, the Jingliu Trace Materials you need are: <\/p>\n
By getting duplicates of Jingliu from Warping on Banners, you will receive her Eidolon. This material allows you to unlock Eidolon levels, with each upgrade either improving an existing attack or passive ability. <\/p>\n
Here are all of Jingliu's Eidolons in Honkai: Star Rail: <\/p>\n
Your goal with Jingliu is to achieve two stacks of Syzygy as soon as possible so she can enter the Spectral Transmigration state and increase her attack damage. To do this, you need to use her ordinary Skill, or Ultimate. You can also gain one at the start of the battle in the overworld by using Jingliu's Technique. <\/p>\n
When she's in the Spectral Transmigration state, Jingliu's Crit Rate and Ultimate Damage is greatly increased, but she's locked to only using the Blast version of her Skill, which doesn't build Syzygy stacks. You want to keep Jingliu in the Spectral Transmigration state as long as possible for maximum DPS potential, so you can keep building Syzygy by just using her Ultimate as much as possible. <\/p>\n
The only time you don't want Jingliu in her special state is when your allies are low on health, or hitting in an AOE helps the enemy attack you. Remember that Jingliu consumes your party's health while in the Spectral Transmigration state. So if it looks dicey for a team member, stop using Jingliu's Ultimate! <\/p>\n
You'll almost always want a good healer in your Jingliu teams, preferably one who can heal multiple allies at once. Luocha is a great healer to pair with Jingliu because he automatically triggers healing when an ally falls below 50% HP, but any other healer with multi-targets healing abilities will work too. <\/p>\n
Then, you can choose to run a Harmony character to buff Jinglu, or a Nihility character to debuff the enemies. Or, one of each if you have the space in your party! We recommend Bronya if you have her so she can give Jingliu another turn while in the Spectral Transmigration state, or to help quickly build Syzygy stacks. Tingyun is another great Harmony character, as she boosts attack and helps recharge Jingliu's Ultimate. Ruan Mei is also fantastic for your mono Ice teams, especially if you want to break an enemies Weakness quicker. While Sparkle and Hanya can help if you have other greedy Skill Point characters on your team, Jingliu is actually very Skill Point efficient, so they're not as recommended. <\/p>\n
For Nihility debuffers, Silver Wolf or Pela are great picks. Pela helps out more in AOE situations and in mono Ice teams, but Silver Wolf's weakness implantation and general debuffing skills make her more desirable for single-target combat situations. <\/p>\n
The last slot is pretty flexible in Jingliu teams if not going with a Harmony and Nihility team, so it's worth going for what you need in a specific combat scenario. If you need help surviving, then Preservation characters like Fu Xuan or Gepard can also help. <\/p>\n
However, if you're not struggling with health and you want to maximise damage even more, then Blade is Jingliu's ideal DPS buddy! He benefits from taking damage, so Blade will output more damage with Jingliu due to her taking his HP. As a bonus, Blade is also very Skill Point efficient, freeing up Skills for your Harmony and Nihility teammates. <\/p>\n
We recommend the 2-piece Hunter of Glacial Forest and 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat as the best Relics for Jingliu in Star Rail. This safely ensures you're getting a boost to both Jingliu's Ice damage and attack stat. <\/p>\n
You might want to go with the 2-piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace instead of Musketeer if you need more Speed, or even switch to the 4-piece Hunter of Glacial Forest if you have good uptime on your Jingliu's Spectral Transmigration state, so you can take advantage of its increase to Crit Damage after using Jingliu's Ultimate. <\/p>\n
The 4-piece Genius of Brilliant Stars is actually a very good Relic set for Jingliu, as it ignores 10% of an enemies' defence, basically giving Jingliu a huge damage boost even though she doesn't benefit from the 2-piece buff to Quantum damage. Pick the sets with the best main and substats for an edge in battle! <\/p>\n
For Planar Ornaments, if you're struggling with Energy regeneration, we recommend Sprightly Vonwacq for its 5% Energy Regeneration increase. Although, to fully take advantage of it and gain the upper hand at the start of a battle, you need Jingliu to have at least 120 Speed. <\/p>\n
However, the best Planar Ornaments will be either the Space Sealing Station or Rutilant Arena sets. Station for its attack increase, and Arena for its Crit Rate and Skill damage increase. To get the most out of Station, Jingliu needs to have at least 120 Speed, and to get the most out of Arena, Jingliu needs a Crit Rate of at least 70% <\/p>\n
For your main and substats, prioritise building Jingliu's Crit Damage, and Crit Rate if you need it, but Crit Damage is more important. However, Speed boots can help with meeting Planar Ornament requirements and general speed-focused builds. Ice Damage and Attack are also recommended for your Planar Ornaments' main stats. <\/p>\n
As it's her signature, the 5-Star 'I Shall Be My Own Sword' Light Cone is Jingliu's best weapon in Honaki: Star Rail. <\/p>\n
At Rank 90 (Superimposition 1), 'I Shall Be My Own Sword' increases Jingliu's Crit Damage by 20%. When an ally gets attacked or loses HP, Jingliu gains one stack of Eclipse, up to a maximum of three stacks. Each stack of Eclipse increases the damage of Jingliu's next attack by 14%. When three stacks are reached, the attack ignores 12% of the enemy's defence, but this effect is removed after Jingliu uses an attack. <\/p>\n
For other 5-Star options, we recommend 'On the Fall of an Aeon' to increase Jingliu's attack when she hits and when she inflicts Weakness Break. 'Something Irreplaceable' can also work, as can 'The Unreachable Side', but we recommend going for the Simulated Universe's 'On the Fall of an Aeon' if you can. <\/p>\n
There are actually a lot of decent 4-Star options, but after testing we think the best of these is 'A Secret Vow' for its increase to Jingliu's damage. You could also use 'Under the Blue Sky' for its increase to attack and Crit Rate, or 'Nowhere to Run' for its attack increase and HP restoration abilities, and if you don't have either of these, 'The Moles Welcome You' is a great substitute as long as you're using one Basic, Skill, and Ultimate attack each battle for maximum DPS. <\/p>\n
If you only have 3-Star Light Cones to pick from, then go with Collapsing Sky until you can get a good 4-Star or 5-Star. <\/p>\n
Version 2.1 with Acheron, Aventurine, and Gallagher is here! So make sure to redeem those new codes for Stellar Jade if you want them or future characters - and check all characters out on our regularly updated tier list. For everything else, we have pages on the next Banner, Ministry of Education quiz answers, how to get more Star Rail Passes, and an English voice actors list. <\/p>\n
Keeping in mind that the best team comps in Star Rail are very situational, if you want to take advantage of her damage capabilities will keeping her alive, we have compiled what we think is currently the best Jingliu build in Honkai Star Rail: <\/p>\n
It's entirely up to you whether you want to spend your Stellar Jade to Warp on Jingliu's Banner, but she's a fantastic Ice damage dealer who can take advantage of other character's kits readily, uses very little Skill Points, and is particularly useful if you have Blade. <\/p>\n
Good luck levelling up Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail! <\/p>\n
