Jiyan WuWa Guide: 5★ Aero Broadblade Main DPS • kit, weapon, rotation, team and build

This Jiyan WuWa guide covers Jiyan's kit, best weapons, rotation, teams, build and skills.

What is the best build for Jiyan?

The optimal build for Jiyan is the Sierra Gale 5-piece set (4-3-3-1-1) with the Nightmare: Feilian Beringal main Echo, Crit. DMG on Cost 4, Aero% on Cost 3 and ATK% on Cost 1. His signature weapon Verdant Summit is recommended, otherwise Thunderflare Dominion or Ages of Harvest are the best alternatives.

What echo sets should I use for Jiyan?

The best set is Sierra Gale in 5 pieces (4-3-3-1-1) with the Nightmare: Feilian Beringal main Echo, Crit. DMG on Cost 4, Aero% on Cost 3 and ATK% on Cost 1.

How does Jiyan's rotation work?

Jiyan rotation: Intro - Unpredictable Blow → Resonance Liberation - Emerald Storm (cast directly as Emerald Storm II thanks to the 30 Annihilation points from the Intro) → Resonance Skill - Windqueller → spam Basic Attacks - Lone Lance during the buffs → Nightmare Echo → Outro - Discipline.

What are the best teams for Jiyan?

Jiyan's best teams are Jiyan + Iuno + Shorekeeper and Jiyan + Ciaccona + Shorekeeper, the latter offering the most potential for an advanced player thanks to its many cancels/swaps. A Mortefi team (Jiyan + Mortefi + Shorekeeper) is still playable but with lower potential.

Which talents should I prioritize for Jiyan?

Talent priority for Jiyan: 1) Liberation (67% of his damage), 2) Forte (16%), 3) Skill (15%), 4) Intro (2%), 5) Basic Attack. Level up Liberation first as it holds the bulk of his damage.

Meilleures armes Jiyan Wuthering Waves - Weapon Jiyan WuWa

Jiyan arme Verdant Summit

Jiyan's signature weapon is mandatory: he was the game's very first character, so his base damage is fairly low.

Jiyan arme Thunderflare Dominion

Use a Crit. Rate Cost 4 here, depending on your sub-stats.

Jiyan arme Ages of Harvest

Jiyan arme Wildfire Mark

This weapon is only worthwhile if you run Mortefi in the team (or another Fusion character).

Jiyan arme Kumokiri

Jiyan arme Radiance Cleaver

Jiyan arme Lustrous Razor

Jiyan arme Autumntrace (R1)

Jiyan arme Aureate Zenith (R1)

Jiyan arme Waning Redshift (R5)

Jiyan arme Helios Cleaver (R5)

Jiyan arme Guardian Broadblade (R5)

Meilleur build Jiyan sets d'échos Wuthering Waves - Build Jiyan WuWa

Jiyan set Sierra Gale

SG 5-piece set

This is clearly the best set for Jiyan, use it.

Rotation Jiyan Wuthering Waves - Rotation Jiyan WuWa

Intro - 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.

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.

Meilleures teams Jiyan WuWa - Team Jiyan WuWa

Jiyan team Heavy Attack Team

Ces teams là sont les teams "simple" de Jiyan. Vous pouvez les jouer mais si vous souhaitez apprendre à vraiment bien jouer Jiyan, d'autres teams ont plus de potentiel.

Jiyan team Team Ciaccona

Les teams avec Ciaccona ont le plus de potentiel. Vous avez énormement de cancel / swap disponible et, si en théorie les damage sont plus faible en pratique vous avez bien plus de potentiel pour un joueur expérimenté.

Jiyan team Team F2P

Jouer cette team après la 3.x, en sachant qu'on a pas eu de buff est assez compliqué. Les damage sont beaucoup trop faible.

Jiyan team Team Lynae Mornye

Lynae and Mornye work with any DPS, Jiyan included, but this is quite an expensive team.

Jiyan DPR Wuthering Waves - Jiyan DPS WuWa - Jiyan Calculs Wuthering Waves

Jiyan DPR Team Mortefi Shorekeeper

The damage is really very low. If you pull Jiyan for this team, the endgame will likely be very tough.

Jiyan DPR Team Mortefi Mornye

The damage is really very low. If you pull Jiyan for this team, the endgame will likely be very tough.

Jiyan DPR Team Mortefi Verina

The damage is really very low. If you pull Jiyan for this team, the endgame will likely be very tough.

Jiyan DPR Team Iuno Shorekeeper

The damage starts to get interesting. It is roughly equivalent to an Augusta - Mortefi team: still very low but playable.

Jiyan DPR Team Ciaccona Shorekeeper

The DPR looks low, but in practice this is one of the highest-potential teams. An advanced player can chain a lot of cancels/swaps between Ciaccona and Jiyan.

Jiyan DPR Team Iuno Mornye

Utitliser Mornye ici sert à rien. En S1, vous montez à 1 369 035 DGTs

Jiyan DPR Team Iuno Verina

The damage is really very low. If you pull Jiyan for this team, the endgame will likely be very tough.

Jiyan DPR Team Iuno Ciaccona

The damage starts to get interesting. It is roughly equivalent to an Augusta - Mortefi team: still very low but playable, though the team is expensive.

Jiyan DPR Team Mortefi Ciaccona

The damage is really very low. If you pull Jiyan for this team, the endgame will likely be very tough.

Jiyan DPR Team Rebecca Ciaccona

The damage starts to get interesting. It is roughly equivalent to an Augusta - Mortefi team: still very low but playable, though the team is expensive.

Jiyan DPR Team Rebecca Ciaccona

The damage starts to get interesting. It is roughly equivalent to an Augusta - Mortefi team: still very low but playable, though the team is expensive.

Jiyan DPR Team Lynae Mornye

The team looks interesting, but it is a shame to waste Lynae & Mornye here.
