Lightning Erudition

Release1.0

Jing Yuan is a Lightning Erudition damage dealer whose real damage comes from the Lightning-Lord, a summon that acts on its own and strikes random enemies with Follow-Up ATKs that splash onto adjacent targets. His Skill and Ultimate add extra hits (up to 10) and speed the Lightning-Lord up, so his teams revolve around giving him as many turns as possible, with Sunday first and foremost. He is solid against groups of enemies but has fallen behind modern carries.

Teams

Recommended teams

Sunday hypercarry

Jing Yuan
Sunday
Tribbie

His most played team: Sunday (1 SPD slower) gives him instant extra turns and buffs the Lightning-Lord, Tribbie adds RES PEN and extra damage, and Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae shields the team and buffs his ATK.

Sunday & Robin

Jing Yuan
Sunday
Robin
Aventurine

Robin adds a huge ATK buff, Follow-Up ATK CRIT DMG and a team-wide action advance. Aventurine is the go-to sustain when a stage throws a lot of Crowd Control.

Asta
Trailblazer (Preservation)
Natasha

Asta's SPD and ATK buffs give him more turns to stack Lightning-Lord hits, the Trailblazer (Preservation) shields and Natasha heals and cleanses.

Guide

How to play

How he works

  • Lightning-Lord (Talent). Summoned at the start of battle with 60 base SPD and 3 Hits Per Action. Each hit is a Follow-Up ATK dealing 66% of Jing Yuan's ATK to a random enemy, and adjacent enemies take 25% of that damage. Every extra hit adds 10 SPD, up to 10 hits; both values reset once it has acted.
  • Skill. An AoE attack that gives the Lightning-Lord +2 Hits Per Action for its next turn. His A6 (War Marshal) also grants +10% CRIT Rate for 2 turns.
  • Ultimate (130 Energy). An AoE attack that gives the Lightning-Lord +3 Hits Per Action.
  • Battalia Crush (A2). At 6 hits or more, the Lightning-Lord gains +25% CRIT DMG for its turn.
  • Weak point. If Jing Yuan is knocked down, the Lightning-Lord disappears; if he is under Crowd Control, it can't act.

Rotation

  1. Use his Technique before combat: +3 hits on the Lightning-Lord's first turn.
  2. Use his Skill every turn. Each extra turn you give him (Sunday, Sparkle, Bronya) stacks more hits before the Lightning-Lord acts.
  3. Use his Ultimate as soon as it's ready to push the Lightning-Lord towards 10 hits.

Tips

  • Speed-tune him with Sunday: Jing Yuan at 134 SPD or more, and Sunday exactly 1 SPD slower, so Sunday's Skill gives him an extra turn straight after his own.
  • Without Sunday, the alternative is "hyperspeed" Sparkle at 160+ SPD, with Jing Yuan on ATK% boots at base SPD.
  • The Wondrous BananAmusement Park is always active on him, because the Lightning-Lord counts as his summon.
  • Every Lightning-Lord hit counts as a separate Follow-Up ATK, which is great for The Ashblazing Grand Duke and for Toughness damage.

Strengths

  • Strong AoE damage and decent single-target damage
  • Playable in every endgame mode
  • The Lightning-Lord's many hits deal great Toughness damage
  • Simple rotation once his SPD is tuned with Sunday

Weaknesses

  • Crowd Control on him cancels the Lightning-Lord's turn, a huge damage loss
  • Heavily dependent on Sunday: no other support replaces him
  • Outclassed by current limited damage dealers in endgame

Notable dupes · Eidolon

E1
Solid upgrade

Adjacent enemies take an extra 25% of the main target's multiplier: better AoE damage.

E2
Optional

+20% DMG for his own Basic ATK, Skill and Ultimate after the Lightning-Lord acts; they are a small part of his damage.

E4
Solid upgrade

2 Energy per Lightning-Lord hit (up to 20 per action): much faster Ultimates.

E6
Big upgrade

Each Lightning-Lord hit makes its target Vulnerable (+12% DMG taken, up to 3 stacks) for the rest of its turn: a big damage increase.
