OUR REVIEW
Jiyan WuWa GuideHow to Use
Jiyan is a Main DPS whose damage is considered Heavy Attack DMG and who, when played well, deals solid damage.
Gameplay Style
Jiyan has a simple rotation, but cancels and quick swaps can increase his DPS.
PROS & CONS
Pros
F2P Friendly
Cons
For an average player, his damage is too low.
Requires his signature weapon
RECOMMENDED ROTATION
Jiyan WuWa RotationIntro - Unpredictable Blow: Jiyan always enters through his Intro, never as the first character. It deals Aero DMG and immediately builds 30 Annihilation points.
Resonance Liberation - Emerald Storm: Since the Intro already granted 30 Annihilation points, casting the Liberation directly triggers Forte Circuit: Rage of the Azure Dragon - Emerald Storm II instead of the basic Emerald Storm I, dealing far more Aero DMG in a single Liberation.
Resonance Skill - Windqueller: Cast during the Liberation buff, it triggers Forte Circuit: Rage of the Azure Dragon - Windqueller, boosting its damage thanks to the still-active Annihilation bonus.
Basic Attack - Lone Lance: Spam Basic Attacks while the Liberation and Resonance Skill buffs are active to maximize the Aero DMG dealt during this buff window.
Echo (if Nightmare Echo available): Trigger the Echo to deal extra Aero DMG while the buffs are still active.
Outro - Discipline: Swap out to end the rotation and trigger the coordinated attack that deals Aero DMG to the next team member.
Tip : Animation cancels exist and let you optimize the rotation. It can also vary depending on the Echo used: if you do not have the Nightmare Echo but a regular one, it is better to keep doing Outros onto Jiyan to maximize his damage. For example: Verina Outro onto Jiyan to trigger the Echo, then swap to Mortefi to Outro onto Jiyan, then cast Jiyan's Ultimate for maximum damage.

BEST TEAM COMPOSITIONS
Jiyan WuWa best teamsHeavy Attack Team
These are Jiyan's simplest teams. You can play them, but other teams have more potential if you want to master Jiyan.
Team Ciaccona
Teams with Ciaccona have the most potential. They offer many cancel and swap opportunities. Their theoretical damage is lower, but an experienced player can get much more out of them in practice.
Team F2P
This team is difficult to recommend after version 3.x because Jiyan has not received a buff and its damage is far too low.
Team Lynae Mornye
Lynae and Mornye work with any DPS, Jiyan included, but this is quite an expensive team.
