Honkai: Star Rail Jingliu Build Guide - Best Teams, Light Cones, Relics, and Traces

Jingliu, the former Sword Champion of the Luofu, is a powerful 5-star Ice element character in Honkai: Star Rail. As a member of the Destruction Path, Jingliu excels as a main DPS, dealing massive single-target and AoE damage. This guide will provide an in-depth look at Jingliu's kit, best team compositions, Light Cones, Relics, and Traces to help players maximize her potential.

Jingliu's Kit Overview

Jingliu's kit revolves around the Syzygy mechanic, which grants her stacks when using her Skill or Ultimate. Upon reaching two Syzygy stacks, Jingliu enters the Spectral Transmigration state, granting her a significant CRIT Rate boost and advancing her action by 100%.

In this state, Jingliu's Skill becomes enhanced, dealing increased damage to a single target and adjacent enemies without consuming Skill Points. However, Jingliu consumes a portion of her allies' HP to increase her own ATK during the Spectral Transmigration state.

Best Team Compositions for Jingliu

Jingliu works well in various team compositions, but some notable examples include:

Pairing Jingliu with Blade creates a potent DPS duo, as Blade benefits from the HP consumption mechanic. Bronya is a valuable support for Jingliu, providing ATK buffs and turn manipulation. Sparkle and Tingyun offer additional support through CRIT DMG boosts and Energy regeneration, respectively. Pela can reduce enemy DEF, further amplifying Jingliu's damage output. Huohuo serves as a reliable healer to counteract the HP consumption from Jingliu's Spectral Transmigration state.

Best Light Cones for Jingliu

• "I Shall Be My Own Sword" (Signature Light Cone): Increases CRIT DMG and grants the Mask effect, boosting allies' CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG.
• "On the Fall of an Aeon" (5-star alternative): Increases ATK when Jingliu hits and inflicts Weakness Break.
• "Something Irreplaceable" (5-star alternative): Provides a solid ATK boost.
• "A Secret Vow" (4-star alternative): Increases Jingliu's damage.
• "Under the Blue Sky" (4-star alternative): Boosts ATK and CRIT Rate.

Best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Jingliu

• 4-piece Hunter of Glacial Forest: Provides bonus Ice DMG and increased CRIT DMG after using her Ultimate.
• 2-piece Hunter of Glacial Forest + 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat: Offers a balance of Ice DMG and ATK bonuses.
• Rutilant Arena (Planar Ornament): Boosts Skill DMG when CRIT Rate reaches 70%.
• Firmament Frontline Glamoth (Planar Ornament): Focuses on ATK and DMG increases.
• Space Sealing Station (Planar Ornament): Provides an ATK boost.

Trace Priority and Eidolon Recommendations

When upgrading Jingliu's Traces, prioritize her Skill and Talent, as they directly impact her damage output and Spectral Transmigration state. Her Ultimate should be upgraded next, followed by her Basic ATK.

In terms of Eidolons, Jingliu's E1 and E2 are highly recommended, as they increase her CRIT DMG and Enhanced Skill damage after using her Ultimate. E4 and E6 further enhance her Spectral Transmigration state by increasing the ATK gained from consuming allies' HP and granting additional CRIT DMG.
