Story
| Title | Text |
| Character Details | The Divine Foresight, one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals. Although his appearance may be one of indolence, he is more meticulous than seemingly meets the eye. He does not consider saving a situation from the brink of disaster to be a show of wisdom, and is thus fastidious with routine affairs to avoid any potential problems. Due to his careful management, Xianzhou has enjoyed many years of peace, with Jing Yuan's seemingly lazy demeanor having earned him the moniker of the "Dozing General." |
| Character Story: Part I | "Master Diviner, why do we use a square board but round pieces for starchess?" "Perhaps it's based around the round sky and square earth? Ancient civilizations believed the earth was flat. This set is modeled after the old days of nation-states and imperial conquest over a singular planet, so naturally it's square. As for the pieces... People back then believed the sky was a round dome, and chess pieces spun around like stars in that dome to reflect in human lives. That's why they are also round." "No, no. That's incorrect." "I've already predicted your next forty-eight moves. Jing Yuan, if you want to distract me with questions, I urge you to stop." "Ah, how could you suspect such malice?" "Don't interrupt me. Keep talking." "It's true that chess is a metaphor and describes the human condition. The rules of war are clearly established, with each piece's actions fixed — advance, retreat, and jump. Advance or retreat is always in an orderly manner, which is why the board's square in its orderliness. As for the pieces, the sages said "use intellect with subtlety and suaveness." As each piece is meant to be sentient individuals, they are therefore circular." "The origins of starchess are covered in the Gleaned Pearls of Verdure. I've read lots, Jing Yuan — why are you brazenly lying to me!" "Cloud Knight moves to C3, taking your King. You lost, Lady Fu." "Hang on! How did I not see this in my predictions? B—Back up. Let me see that move again." "Chess pieces are like people. Each has its own sentience. There is no going back on the chessboard. How can anyone return to the past? Haha, how can the head of a Commission act like a sore loser?" |
| Character Story: Part II | Of an alliance spanning six mighty Xianzhou ships, the Cloud Knights emerged out of the ashes of the Flaming Catastrophe. They swore an oath to defend the Xianzhou ships and follow Reignbow's decree of The Hunt, a tradition carried out to this day. Despite the incredible longevity of long-life species, few generals have been able to pass the century mark after taking up the mantle due to the bloody nature of warfare. This is not so much fate as it is tradition. As the armed defenders of Xianzhou against crusading abominations, generals not only must take the lead for planning and dispatching, but also take the lead into battle. Amidst countless names erased too quickly and too cruelly in the annals of history, the Divine Foresight Jing Yuan, leader of the Cloud Knights of the Xianzhou Luofu, stands out from the rest with his centuries-old reign. Under his wise strategy, the Luofu's Cloud Knights have made a name for themselves among the Alliance, achieving an exemplary record. While there are those who complained that he feared combat so much so that he seldom resorted to arms, it remains true that his intellect is no less resourceful than the tip of the sharpest sword in solving thorny problems. |
| Character Story: Part III | One of the hottest pieces of gossip making the rounds today contends that Jing Yuan's family has served the Realm-Keeping Commission for generations. According to the foxian custom of having babies "picking" their future, parents will put various objects and toys around an infant cub, and get them to choose their future career path by grabbing an item. Jing Yuan's parents hoped he would inherit the mantle of a scholar or official at the Realm-Keeping Commission, but Jing Yuan grabbed the toy sword. It seems like prediction from the birthfate tradition came true. After graduating from the academy, Jing Yuan joined the Cloud Knights to escape from a "typical" life against his family's wishes. His first expedition was recorded in the official Cloud Knights' battle record. The Navis Astriger carrying the troops had to make a forced landing on an ocean planet infested by abominations. One new long-life species known as Puppeteer Jellyfish hijacked the Cloud Knights' minds, stowing onto the ship and almost converting their warship into an alien hive. Jing Yuan quickly became aware of the crisis and identified the requirements of Puppeteer Jellyfish possession, then devised a way against them. The rest of the crew eventually passed this ordeal amongst identical friends and foes, defeated the real enemies, and returned home to safety. This bloodless victory showed Jing Yuan's mettle to the Cloud Knights' generals. After returning to the Xianzhou, Jing Yuan demonstrated his adept skill and was appointed to a position of importance in the Knights. His quick-witted and practical approaches had repeatedly given his superiors unforgettable surprises — and headaches. In the end, Jing Yuan was invited by the previous Sword Champion of the Luofu to join her team, and so the legend of the High-Cloud Quintet was formed. |
| Character Story: Part IV | As the most famous legend in Xianzhou history, the five heroes of the High-Cloud Quintet gathered to fight together. Their feats were almost endless: Driving out the borisin invading Thalassa. Destroying the alliance between the Houyhnhnms and the wingweavers in the Abundance Axis. Even rescuing the Xianzhou Yuque and defeating the living planet Ketu Mirage, preserving the eyes of the Alliance that gaze out to the stars... However, all their achievements were no match for the cruelty of time. The High-Cloud Quintet fell apart after less than a hundred short years. As wars waned, the major ships went their separate ways as the Luofu began patrolling cosmic trade routes, seeking out supplies and support for the Alliance. Old friendships became scattered to the winds, and enemies were either captured or dead. Only memories remain. Fallen generals don't have to endure such torment, but those who survive have to go through it all, no matter how great a vision one has dreamed of and no matter how many overwhelming enemies one has defeated, time will always reduce one's strength little by little yet cruelly spares one's life, leaving one cowering in a corner and hating one's own powerlessness. Only the truly wise can stand proud in front of the undefeated enemy called time. |

25 responses to “Jing Yuan”
With the release of Sparkle, Jing Yuan just keeps winning
I’m happy to see him be more powerful than ever
Sparkle has a trace that’s specifically made for JY. I’m glad to see Hoyo not abandoning anyone.
It also works very well for Clara and Ratio, its imo one of the best additions to her kit
Can anyone with Jing Yuan tell me what path he uses in simulated universe?
Elation to make Lightning Lord do big pp dmage, that’s what i’ve seen people do as I don’t own our General
Elation, since his main source of damage is his LL, which is also a follow-up attack
Is best choice is Elation, and the second would be the hunt
question for people who have them : wich worth the most between E1 And S1 for Him ?
Cause unless im Lucky i’ll probably can pull only one of them
E1 offers not too much value (only affects adjacent target dmg)
Meanwhile S1 is a generally amazing erudition LC, so S1 definitely (also it’s cheaper)
Thank you, i’ll go for S1 then
Jing Yuan’s eidolon’s don’t offer much. His light cone is better if you really like him.
By the way I highly recommend Sparkle to you if you plan to use Jing Yuan very often. Sparkle generously offers VERY HIGH crit damage boost to both him AND lightning lord at ALMOST 100% UP TIME and should make him much more strong than ever before.
In comparason, Bronya offers damage amp only to Jing Yuan and not to lightning lord.
Sparkle is just goated for anyone who can crit
wow. that sounds amazing.
as someone who enjoy JingYuan and Dan Heng IL it seems like Sparkle has a lot of value for me.
I already have DHIL and his LC, I’m going to go for JY and his LC. definitely going to pull Sparkle when she’s on rerun.
“Mid Yuan” currently has some of the fastest MoC clears and the new 1.5 relics offer good buffs for him
Just saying this could be a redemption for him
I think some people really have the wrong approach to him, that they’re treating him as a fill-in for Seele or Blade like a main DPS. But he really shines as a secondary damage dealer with his efficiency in crowd sweeping. He’s best suited to pair with a main DPS that isn’t afraid to use a normal attack for a turn (maintaining SP positive/neutral turns). His strengths isn’t in boosting Lightning Lord’s damage in each individual hit, but managing to get close or at 10 stacks. Besides, it’s all apples to oranges if you’re trying to put him on the pedestal with the likes of Blade and Seele, or even Kafka.
The problems with him lie outside his kit anyway. There aren’t really any good Erudition lightcones for him (or anyone, really) aside from his signature and the BP one. It’s a result of the game itself still being relatively new. Who knows? Maybe later on there’ll be a good event LC? A good 4* gacha one? Or maybe the Herta shop will pop out one that screams “jing yuan’s” (doubtful)? All that remains is that Jing Yuan’s current value isn’t as low as people make it out to be, but time will tell if it goes higher or lower.
Is he still a good character even after all the “powercreep” going on over him? Cuz like, I got him at E2 (by luck) and I’m wondering where that lands me. I’m going to keep using him, cuz he’s my only limited character DPS so far. But I’m just a tad bit concerned right now. This is not an invite for doomposters to tell me to pull on the latest banner.
He is the worst limited character released so far. He is also not an idea choice as Kafka will outperform him with the same investment as a lightning dps, and other dps will also be better as they are overall stronger.
I will definently say if you really like him you can use him, but seeing the amount of 5 star dps characters coming out down in the line he will be quickly replaced if you don’t really like the character. despite being e2, if you don’t have his lc he really isnt going to be competitive. He is still better than all of the standard banner dps tho, so he is still a good character.
What constitutes as competitive? Clearing MoC in as few turns as possible? Making Sim Univ runs faster? I don’t really care about that stuff tbh, despite the incentive for efficient clears being the whole aim of the late-game grind. But oh well, I’ll make do with what I have now. I am pulling for Kafka (but with a DoT focused team build), and (whenever she arrives) Jingliu. I can’t say it doesn’t hurt to see my main man JY get done dirty, but I’m used to my favorites dropping the tier list, after the many versions I’ve seen the very same happen in Genshin. Thank you for answering, though.
This can be inaccurate or accurate really depend on the content, MoC buff/line up or even team, I can 0 cycle MoC 12 with E0S1 Jing Yuan with traditional DPS team ( No Sparkle ), where Kafka E0S1 in same team can’t, as well without Black swan in a DoT team. At the same times some line up favor Kafka more like MoC 11 where she can 0 cycle easier than JY ( he still can but base more on luck with my build ) due to the enemies mechanic favor DoT more. E0S1 JY has good consistence 0 cycle showcase on every MoC until first floor 12 show up, Kafka on the other hand are mostly 90% at E2S1 level in most 0 cycle showcase before Black swan release
Overall they are both pretty close to each other performance wise for me, I don’t see where is this ” Outperform at same investment “, as I give them both same relics for these run. If DoT set/stats is the argument then it make the point way worse because Kafka is having over 4.2k ATK and 140 SPD with full DOT Set, which is way better than JY 80/140 set in term of investment. Not to mention this MoC doesn’t benefit JY as much, Kafka get quite a buff for her skill dmg, same goes how E6 Serval can also 0 cycle this MoC fairly easy
And no, I am not gonna build entire DoT team or some crazy BE DoT build, as it cost a lot of resources and times, which is pretty much against the point of Kafka doing better at same investment or need less stats than JY. Other than that, JY does have a lackluster mechanic with his lightning lord acting too slow, at E2 he should be able to perform well enough, don’t listen to the crap of ” Needing S1 “. I gave him Destruction lightcone and he still slap really hard, worse case just 1 cycle slower, heck I did 0 cycle sometimes with that xD. Putting 0 cycles aside, a well build JY can tackle most fight as long lightning weakness is present
Tho to be fair, it is still not wrong to advice not getting him, especially this late of the game now. Hoyoverse purposely don’t favor him as much, you either see it favor DHIL or Jingliu with the line up, or just buff that favor them if there is a line up for JY
I don’t know if you’re still here, but I wanna say that my worst limited character is now a powerhouse. It only took 19ish months for a character to fix his big glaring problem. But it’s fixed. E2 has finally paid off.
Jing Yuan as a lightning attacker is almost equivalent to kafka without a powerful DoT assigner like black swan.
Who makes Jing Yuan so incompetitive is Bronya. The lightning lord can never receive the damage increment from Bronya (without E6), while most of the other attackers can make full use of her.
However, the lightning lord do receive full bonus from Sparkle and Ruan Mei, which should make Jing Yuan a bit more competitive.
He’s gonna be mine.
Want him no matter what. He looks so fine… EN voice is amazing too! Hope he is a good dps unlike my beloved Himeko 😛
You will be mine daddy Juan
