So, you want to build your Wuthering Waves Jianxin? A very wise choice! Jianxin is an excellent unit, especially in the early game, as she can create a shield, heal herself and her teammates, and deal some respectable damage while grouping smaller enemies together. Plus, she’s pretty cool.

What’s the best Wuthering Waves Jianxin build?
Jianxin is a five-star resonator available in the standard pool that uses gauntlets and the aero element.
Element | Aero |
Rarity | Five-star |
Role | Sub-DPS, healer, shield |
Best weapon | Abyss Surges |
Best echo set | Moonlit clouds or rejuvenating glow |
Best echo | Bell-Borne Geochelone |
Main stats | Aero damage bonus, crit rate/damage, attack |
Jianxin is an excellent sub-DPS and support unit that fits in many teams. She’s a five-star unit that uses the aero element and gauntlets as a weapon type.

The best weapon for her is the Abyss Surges and the best echo set to go for is a five-piece set of either moonlit clouds or sierra gale, depending on whether you wish to boost her energy regeneration or personal aero damage.
What’s the best weapon for Jianxin?
Jianxin uses the gauntlet weapon type, and there are a few good options for her, even early in the game. The best weapon for Jianxin is the Abyss Surges, though this can be a trick to get. The next best option for her is Marcato – both of these weapons help her kit by adding attack damage or energy recharge.
Abyss Surges | Increases energy regeneration by 12.8%. When Jianxin hits a target with her resonance skill, her basic attack increases by 10% for eight seconds. When hitting a target with basic attacks, her resonance skill damage increases by 10%, lasting for eight seconds. |
Originite: Type IV | When hitting a target with basic attacks, Jianxin restores HP. This can trigger once every three seconds. Recommended at S5. |
Marcato | When Jianxin uses her resonance skill, she restores eight resonance energy. This effect can trigger once every 20 seconds. |
Gauntlets#21D | When Jianxin dashes or dodges, her attack increases by 8%. Her counterattack damage also increases by 50% for eight seconds. When she uses her counterattack, she restores HP equal to 5% of her max HP. This can trigger once every six seconds. |
Gauntlets of Night | When Jianxin uses her intro skill, her attack increases by 8% for ten seconds. |
What’s the best Jianxin team comp?
Jianxin can fill a few roles, but as we’ve discussed, she’s best as a shielder and sub-DPS. Therefore, you can use her with whoever you want to keep safe and provide a little extra damage to.
Here are the best synergies for Jianxin:
- Wuthering Waves Calcharo – Jianxin’s outro skill boosts resonance liberation damage, so Calcharo’s Death Messenger attack gets a boost from this. Not only that, but she can provide a shield while he goes to work hitting things.
- Wuthering Waves Verina – Though Jianxin can shield herself and use a bit of healing if you’re going into a big battle, we recommend taking Verina. She can heal the entire team, and provide an attack buff with her inherent skill. Also, she can shield your party members from a fatal blow once during battle, which is always helpful.
- Wuthering Waves Jiyan – If you really want to amp up the aero damage, you can use Jiyan as your main DPS in a team with Jianxin.
- Wuthering Waves Mortefi – Mortefi’s deal is that he boosts heavy attack damage with his outro skill, so if you swap off him to Jianxin, then use her ultimate, you can get some great damage if you want to use her as a DPS. Her Chi Spiral counts as heavy attack damage, so his buff applies here. His coordinated attacks can double during her Chi Spiral, so use these together for even more hits.
