How to play Jing Yuan in Honkai: Star Rail

How to play Jing Yuan in Honkai Star Rail

Jing Yuan is a unique Erudition character whose playstyle primarily revolves around his own Lord of Lightning (LL). Jing Yuan's LL damage is considered a next attackso that players can use items that improve subsequent DMG or blessings of euphoria in the simulated universe.

The Lightning Lord has a base SPD of 60 and will automatically strike (players can see him in the turn sequence above left). It has a minimum of three stacks and can have up to 10. Each stack determines how many shots LL will do, and each additional stack also increases his SPD by 10. To get more stacks, players must use Skill and Ultimate, which add two and three stacks respectively.

When his turn comes, the Lord of Lightning will attack three enemies at a time, a main objective AND two adjacent targets. The main target will take full damage, while nearby enemies will take 25% of the original DMG. Please note that this the main objective is randomso the LL can hit an enemy at the end of the line and only hit an adjacent target along with it. Luckily, every shot LL has a different main objectivemeaning that the RNG won't be too cruel even when that happens.

Typically, the Lightning Lord will move immediately after Jing Yuan uses his Skill, so players will only have five stacks. The fact that he needs three or four skill casts to refill his Ultimate can make it quite difficult for players to have more than five stacks, which is why SPD increase and SPD statistics it may be useful to him. Have more than five stacks it's even more crucial once players unlock Jing Yuan's Ascension 2 Trace, which increases the Lightning Lord's critical DMG by 25%.
