Release1.4
Jingliu is an Ice Destruction damage dealer who was reworked by the Novaflare enhancement in 3.4: all her damage now scales with Max HP. Once she enters Spectral Transmigration, her Enhanced Skill costs no Skill Points, drains HP from her teammates and stacks huge amounts of CRIT DMG, and her improved Energy economy lets her stay in that state for most of the fight.
HP main DPS
Light Cones
Flame of Blood, Blaze My Path BiS
5★
Best in slot since the rework: high base HP, Max HP, and up to +60% Skill and Ultimate DMG. She needs about 8,334 HP in combat for the full bonus (6% of Max HP consumed must exceed 500).
Max HP +18% and Incoming Healing +20%; the Skill and Ultimate consume 6% of Max HP for +30% DMG, or +60% if over 500 HP is consumed.
I Shall Be My Own Sword
5★
Signature and still a strong choice: CRIT DMG, DMG stacks and DEF ignore, even better with other DEF reduction sources.
CRIT DMG +20%; each time a teammate is hit or loses HP, the next attack deals +14% DMG (up to 3 stacks) and ignores 12% DEF at 3 stacks.
The Unreachable Side
5★
Blade's signature: CRIT Rate, Max HP and a DMG bonus when she consumes HP.
CRIT Rate +18% and Max HP +18%; being attacked or consuming HP grants +24% DMG until the next attack.
A Trail of Bygone Blood
4★
Strong 4★ (S5): CRIT Rate and Skill and Ultimate DMG, as long as you don't overcap CRIT Rate.
CRIT Rate +12%, and Skill and Ultimate DMG +24%.
A Secret Vow
4★
4★ fallback with a plain DMG bonus.
DMG +20%, plus another 20% against enemies whose HP percentage is at or above the wearer's.
Ninja Record: Sound Hunt
4★
Accessible 4★ with Max HP, but its CRIT DMG is devalued by her kit.
Max HP +12%, and losing or restoring HP grants +18% CRIT DMG for 2 turns (once per turn).

Teams
Recommended teams
Hypercarry
Sunday's action advance and Energy boost her Ultimate uptime, Tribbie adds RES PEN and extra damage her kit lacks, and Hyacine's healing and Max HP buff are ideal for an HP scaler.
Dual DPS with Blade
Blade and Jingliu both consume HP, so each feeds the other's mechanics, and Hyacine keeps everyone topped up.
Budget
Accessible option: Asta speeds up the team, the Trailblazer (Remembrance) adds True DMG and an extra target to drain HP from, and Lynx heals continuously.
Guide
How to play
How she works
- Syzygy. Her Skill, Transcendent Flash, and her Ultimate each grant 1 stack of Syzygy (4 max). At 2 stacks she enters Spectral Transmigration: she immediately gains 1 more stack, her action is advanced by 100% and her CRIT Rate rises by 50%.
- Moon On Glacial River. In Spectral Transmigration, her Skill is replaced by this Blast attack. It costs no Skill Points but consumes 1 Syzygy; she leaves the state when Syzygy drops to 0.
- HP drain and Moonlight. Each of her attacks in the state consumes 5% of every teammate's Max HP. Every time an ally takes damage or consumes HP during the state, she gains 1 Moonlight: +44% CRIT DMG per stack, up to 5 stacks.
- Staying in the state. After allies take damage or consume HP 20 times, she gains 1 Syzygy, and her Ultimate grants another. Her A4 adds 15 Energy after Transcendent Flash and 8 after Moon On Glacial River, and her A6 makes her next attack ignore 25% DEF whenever she gains Syzygy at the stack limit.
Rotation
- Use her Technique before the fight: enemies are Frozen, and she starts with 15 Energy and 1 Syzygy.
- Use Transcendent Flash once to reach 2 stacks and enter Spectral Transmigration with an immediate extra turn.
- Use Moon On Glacial River every turn, and cast her Ultimate whenever it is ready (her A2 adds 20% Ultimate DMG during the state).
- If the state ends, use Transcendent Flash again to re-enter it.
Tips
- Her pre-3.4 ATK relics are obsolete: she now wants HP% everywhere.
- She gets 50% CRIT Rate from her Talent, so 50% CRIT Rate outside the state (team buffs included) is enough — avoid overcapping.
- She needs a healer, not a shielder: Hyacine and her signature Light Cone make allies lose HP more often, which feeds Syzygy and Moonlight.
- With action-advance supports such as Sunday or Bronya, keep Jingliu 1 SPD faster than her booster.
Strengths
- Very Skill Point efficient: her Enhanced Skill is free
- HP scaling gives her high damage and good durability
- Huge built-in CRIT stats make her easy to build
- Much better Energy economy and state uptime since her Novaflare
Weaknesses
- Her CRIT saturation makes some CRIT-based supports less valuable
- Struggles in large AoE content such as Pure Fiction
- Drains her teammates' HP, so she needs a proper healer
- Her relics had to be farmed again for HP after the rework
