Yun Jin’s best weapon is Engulfing Lightning for its energy recharge stat. Her most reliable artifact set is Husk of Opulent Dreams which buffs her defense and geo damage output. As the bulk of her energy recharge comes from her weapon, Yun Jin’s most important stat is defense. Plus a bit of crit rate here and there never hurt anyone.
How should I use Yun Jin?
Yun Jin is a unique geo support character who wields a polearm and excels at buffing her allies. In fact, the attack buff from her elemental burst is so strong that she can even rival Genshin Impact’s Bennett in some situations. She’s pretty easy to build and works well in both geo and non-geo teams, though her passive is best utilized in multi-element team comps.
Yun Jin is a pretty good off-field support for her team, so the best way to use her is to use her skill and build energy for her burst to buff the other attackers on her team. In our opinion, you shouldn’t bother with her normal attack.
What are the best weapons for Yun Jin?
It’s a pretty contested weapon, but if you’ve got one lying around, Yun Jin can make great use of Engulfing Lightning thanks to its energy recharge bonus stat. As far as stat sticks go, its passive is pretty decent too, increasing her energy recharge further when you use her burst. Perfect for a burst support!
Favonius Lance is also a strong option, providing additional energy recharge through both its base stat and passive. This weapon does require some crit rate (generally around 45%) in order to trigger its passive, but you should still prioritize defense and energy recharge over crit when choosing her artifacts. Finally, there’s Prototype Starglitter, a great choice for boosting Yun Jin’s energy recharge if you’ve got spare billets and materials.
| Weapon | Effect | How to obtain |
| Engulfing Lightning | Bonus stat: energy recharge Skill: attack increased by 28% of energy recharge over the base 100%. You can gain a maximum bonus of 80% attack. Gain 30% energy recharge for 12 seconds after using an elemental burst | Event gacha |
| Favonius Lance | Bonus stat: energy recharge Skill: critical hits have a 60% chance to generate a small number of elemental particles. This regenerates six energy for Yun Jin. It can only occur once every 12 seconds | Gacha |
| Prototype Starglitter | Bonus stat: energy recharge Skill: after using an elemental skill, increases normal and charged attack damage by 8% for 12 seconds. Max two stacks | Forge via blacksmith |
What are the best Yun Jin artifacts?
The best Yun Jin artifact set in terms of reliability is easily Husk of Opulent Dreams, offering a big boost to her defense and geo damage. Gaining and maintaining stacks is also pretty easy with Yun Jin’s playstyle, as she requires very little field time.
Alternatively, you cancombine two Husk of Opulent Dreams with two Emblem of Severed Fate if you need to balance your energy recharge and defense sub-stats. We’ve also suggested a slightly cheaper option below for newer builders.
