Build Guide – Best Relics, Light Cone & Teams
⚡ A-TIER LIGHTNING-LORD DPS ⚡🎁 Free Character — Gifted to All Players in Version 4.0
The Dozing General · Commander of Lightning-Lord
Jing Yuan — the languid, masterful general of the Xianzhou Luofu’s Cloud Knight forces, one of the Six Charioteers, a legendary strategist who wins battles before they begin — is a 5-star Lightning Erudition character and the second limited 5-star ever released in Honkai: Star Rail. As of HSR 4.0, Jing Yuan holds a comfortable A-Tier position — relevant, capable of clearing all endgame content, and significantly revitalised by Sunday’s release, but not among the game’s top meta DPS characters in the current patch.
Jing Yuan’s entire kit revolves around one mechanic: the Lightning-Lord (LL) — an autonomous summon that attacks all enemies on its own turn, dealing massive AoE Lightning Follow-Up DMG. Every action Jing Yuan takes — Skill, Ultimate, Support Attacks — feeds the Lightning-Lord more Hits Per Action (HPA), increasing how many times it strikes when its turn arrives. The higher the HPA stack when LL acts, the higher its SPD and the more devastating each LL action becomes. Jing Yuan’s primary goal as a DPS is simple: stack as many HPA before Lightning-Lord’s turn as possible, then watch it obliterate entire waves of enemies with up to 10 individual strikes.
In February 2026, Jing Yuan was gifted to all players for free in Version 4.0 — making him one of the most widely-accessible A-Tier damage dealers on every account. With the right team (especially Sunday + Robin), he can compete meaningfully with higher-tier characters in Pure Fiction wave content.
Meta Context — A-Tier Honesty
Kit & Lightning-Lord System
The Lightning-Lord is Jing Yuan’s autonomous summon — present in battle at all times via his Talent. Its core rules:
- Hits Per Action (HPA): LL starts each turn with 3 HPA. Each time Jing Yuan uses Skill, LL gains +2 HPA. Each Ultimate gives +3 HPA. Maximum 10 HPA. When LL’s turn arrives, it strikes the primary target and adjacent enemies for each HPA stack. More HPA = more total hits = more total damage.
- SPD scales with HPA: LL’s SPD increases based on current HPA stacks. Higher HPA = faster LL turn = LL acts more frequently per combat cycle.
- LL actions count as Follow-Up Attacks — triggering FUA-based relic bonuses (Ashblazing Grand Duke ATK stack), FUA Light Cone bonuses (Before Dawn Somnus Corpus), and Duran ornament Merit stacks.
- Critical weakness — Crowd Control: If Jing Yuan is affected by Freeze, Imprisonment, or other CC debuffs when LL’s turn arrives, LL cannot act. This is Jing Yuan’s most significant structural vulnerability. Build Effect RES to mitigate; avoid content with heavy CC when possible.
- Sunday synergy: Sunday’s kit is purpose-built for summon characters — he can advance LL’s action and increase its damage simultaneously. Running Sunday allows LL to act before the normal turn order would permit, enabling more HPA stacks to land before LL fires and more LL actions per fight cycle. This is the single biggest upgrade available to Jing Yuan in the current meta.
Hits Per Action — Stack Values
Best Light Cones
Before Dawn
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Signature — Best in Slot
Why it’s #1: Before Dawn is custom-built for Jing Yuan’s FUA playstyle. It provides +36% CRIT DMG, +18% Skill and Ultimate DMG, and crucially, the Somnus Corpus mechanic: after Jing Yuan uses Skill or Ultimate, he gains Somnus Corpus. When LL next fires (as a FUA), Somnus Corpus is consumed and the FUA DMG increases by 30–50% (at S1: +30%). This timing aligns perfectly — use Skill + Ultimate before LL’s action, then Somnus Corpus fires on the subsequent LL hits for a massive FUA multiplier.
The combined CRIT DMG, Skill/Ultimate DMG, and Somnus Corpus FUA boost make Before Dawn substantially ahead of all alternatives. The CRIT DMG also makes it the ideal loan to Jade (who uses Before Dawn as her best non-signature option) — if you have Before Dawn, use it on whichever character benefits most on your roster.
Yet Hope Is Priceless
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jade’s Sig — Strong Stat StickPremium Alt (if you own it): Jade’s signature provides +16% CRIT Rate and a conditional FUA DMG% bonus scaling with CRIT DMG excess over 120% — providing meaningful FUA DMG amplification to LL’s actions. While designed for Jade, Jing Yuan benefits from both the CRIT Rate (helping reach the 60%+ threshold without relying heavily on substats) and the FUA DMG scaling if his CRIT DMG is high. A strong 5-star stat stick if you’ve pulled Jade’s banner and have it available.
Night on the Milky Way
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Standard — Pure Fiction SpecialistBest Standard 5-Star Alt: Himeko’s signature provides stackable ATK% per enemy on the field (up to +45% ATK at 5 enemies) and a flat DMG% bonus when an enemy is Weakness Broken. In Pure Fiction with 5 enemies consistently on field, Night on the Milky Way’s ATK cap is always at maximum — providing enormous ATK totals that scale LL’s hit multiplier. Outside PF with fewer enemies, stacks collapse. An excellent PF-only option if you own it on the standard banner; marginal in MoC and AS.
Today Is Another Peaceful Day
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Battle Pass — Best 4-Star OptionBest Non-5-Star Choice: Provides DMG% equal to 0.2% × Max Energy (Jing Yuan’s Max Energy is 130 — so +26% DMG at full effect). This unconditional, universal DMG% bonus applies to all of Jing Yuan’s attacks including LL hits, Skill, and Ultimate. The DMG% amplification is more impactful than a straightforward ATK% increase and requires no conditions. Mobalytics notes it as “brilliant as it gives an unconditional, universal DMG Bonus.” Available from the Battle Pass — purchase if you want the strongest accessible non-signature option.
The Seriousness of Breakfast
⭐⭐⭐⭐ F2P Shop — AccessibleF2P Standard Option: Provides +24% DMG at S1, stacking ATK% when defeating enemies (up to +24% ATK at S5 with 3 stacks). In Pure Fiction where enemies die constantly, stacks are always maxed. Available from the Forgotten Hall rewards shop — zero-cost. Superimpose to S5 when possible for the highest ATK% bonus. The flat DMG% bonus is reliable regardless of enemy count; a solid budget choice while working toward Battle Pass or 5-star options.
The Birth of the Self
⭐⭐⭐⭐ FUA Specialist 4-StarFUA Niche Option: Increases the wearer’s FUA DMG by 24%, with an additional +24% FUA DMG when the target’s HP ≤ 50%. LL actions are FUAs — so this directly buffs every LL hit. Against bosses at low HP (the second half of most AS encounters), this can reach +48% FUA DMG — competitive with higher-rarity options in HP-threshold scenarios. Available from the standard warp pool. The conditional high-HP phase weakness is a drawback, but the FUA-targeting makes it a workable option for players who pulled it randomly.
Before Dawn is Jing Yuan’s signature and genuinely his best LC. However, at A-Tier, pulling Before Dawn for Jing Yuan is a difficult value proposition — the investment level required (signature LC purchase on top of potentially re-pulling for Jing Yuan) is high relative to his current meta ceiling. Mobalytics advises: “DPS on rerun are never the play unless you really like the unit and don’t care about meta.” Today Is Another Peaceful Day (Battle Pass) provides excellent performance for Jing Yuan at a fraction of the cost. If you already own Before Dawn, use it on Jing Yuan. If not, Battle Pass + good relics is the recommended F2P path.
Best Relic Sets
4-Piece Cavity Relics
Why It’s #1: LL actions count as FUAs — and LL deals multiple hits per action (up to 10 at max HPA). Ashblazing’s 4-piece grants Jing Yuan +6% ATK per LL hit, reaching +48% ATK by the 8th hit of a single LL action. Against the primary target, the first LL hit triggers the buff, and each subsequent hit within the same LL action continues stacking — meaning at 8+ HPA, Jing Yuan gets near-full ATK stacks from a single LL turn. The 2-piece’s +20% FUA DMG applies to every LL hit unconditionally. Combined, Ashblazing provides the best total DPS amplification available in a single relic set. Approximately the most-used relic for Jing Yuan across all sources.
When to Use: Band of Sizzling Thunder has been Jing Yuan’s traditional relic set since release — the Lightning DMG bonus amplifies LL’s Lightning-type damage, and the +25% ATK after Skill use coincides with LL’s upcoming action (since Jing Yuan typically Skills immediately before LL acts). The 4-piece ATK bonus is conditional on Skill timing but is powerful when the timing is correct. Competitive with Ashblazing in rotations where the Skill → LL action window aligns consistently. Use as an alternative if you have excellent Band piece rolls or as a transition while farming Ashblazing.
When to Use: The 2+2 hybrids are competitive with pure 4-piece Ashblazing when individual piece quality is high — particularly if the Pioneer 2-piece CRIT DMG bonus pushes Jing Yuan’s total CRIT DMG to exceptional levels during LL actions. Worth considering when you have excellent individual pieces from different domains and can’t assemble a clean Ashblazing 4-piece.
Planar Ornaments
Why It’s #1: Lightning-Lord is always on the field once summoned — making BananAmusement Park’s +32% conditional CRIT DMG permanently active in battle. Combined with the base +16%, this provides +48% CRIT DMG from a single ornament — an extraordinary CRIT DMG boost that compounds with Jing Yuan’s CRIT DMG from relics, Before Dawn (if equipped), and substats. At high CRIT DMG totals, BananAmusement Park’s contribution to LL hit damage is remarkable. All sources agree this is Jing Yuan’s best-in-slot ornament.
When to Use: In builds where CRIT Rate is approaching 50% from other sources and the conditional +15% FUA DMG activates reliably, Inert Salsotto provides a competitive alternative to BananAmusement Park — particularly useful for players who don’t have good BananAmusement Park rolls. The +8% CRIT Rate also helps reach the 60%+ threshold without substat investment. Second-best ornament; use until BananAmusement Park is obtainable.
When to Use: In high-SPD Jing Yuan builds (with fast Sparkle or Hanya providing significant external SPD buffs), Glamoth’s stacking ATK% can provide substantial damage amplification when the 160+ SPD threshold is reached. However, Glamoth’s value is entirely dependent on maintaining SPD thresholds — and Jing Yuan’s optimal SPD varies significantly by support (Sunday build uses different SPD than Sparkle build). Use Glamoth specifically in Sparkle-fast SPD compositions where 160+ SPD is reliably achieved. Use BananAmusement Park in all other setups.
Stat Priorities
Main Stats
SPD Breakpoints — Support-Dependent
Target Stats
Substat Priority
- CRIT DMG — Jing Yuan’s highest-priority substat. BananAmusement Park already provides +48% CRIT DMG while LL is active — base CRIT DMG from relics compounds with this bonus multiplicatively at the CRIT calculation level. More base CRIT DMG = exponentially higher effective CRIT DMG during LL windows. Stack as many CRIT DMG rolls as possible in every available slot.
- CRIT Rate — Must reach and sustain 60%+ for reliable crits. Jing Yuan gets +10% CRIT Rate from A6 trace during LL action windows — build to 50–55% from relics for the effective 60%+ threshold when it matters most (LL turns). With a CRIT Rate body piece, this is easier; with CRIT DMG body, invest more CRIT Rate from substats.
- ATK% — Every LL hit scales with Jing Yuan’s ATK. Ashblazing’s stack mechanic also builds on base ATK — higher ATK% from substats provides proportionally more value from each LL hit and each Ashblazing stack layer. Third priority after CRIT stats are sufficient.
- SPD — More SPD = more turns per combat cycle = more Skill uses = higher HPA stack counts before LL fires. Critical for teams without external advance (non-Sunday, non-Sparkle compositions). Fourth priority; SPD boots handle the bulk of SPD investment.
- Effect RES — Prevents CC from shutting down LL. In content with heavy CC (Apocalyptic Shadow, certain MoC sides), Effect RES is functionally a damage stat — without it, LL misses turns entirely. Prioritise Effect RES substats to 50%+ in CC-heavy content even at the cost of other offensive stats.
Trace Priority
- Talent — “Prana Extirpated” (Lightning-Lord)
Higher Talent levels increase LL’s DMG multiplier per hit — applied to every single hit across every LL action throughout the entire fight. With 7–10 HPA stacks, LL fires 7–10 hits per action; Talent level affects every one of them. Max first without question — this is Jing Yuan’s most impactful upgrade and the source of the majority of his total damage output. - Skill — “Rifting Zenith”
Higher Skill levels increase the AoE Lightning DMG dealt to enemies — a meaningful portion of Jing Yuan’s non-LL damage. More importantly, Skill is used every turn possible (since it’s also used to stack LL HPA), so higher Skill DMG fires frequently. Second priority — upgrade alongside Ultimate for balanced output. - Ultimate — “Lightbringer”
Higher Ultimate levels increase the AoE Lightning DMG of the Ultimate itself and the Before Dawn Somnus Corpus trigger is most efficient here. Ultimate is used less frequently than Skill (Energy gated) but the AoE damage and +3 HPA contribution are both amplified by higher levels. Third priority — upgrade to a comfortable level after Talent is maxed. - Basic Attack — “Glistening Light”
Lowest priority. Jing Yuan almost never uses Basic Attack in endgame rotations — only to recover SP in SP-critical situations. Upgrade Basic Attack last; cap at Level 6 (the 4-star cap for Basic Attacks) when resources allow without sacrificing Talent/Skill/Ultimate investment.
A6 — “War Marshall”: After LL takes action, all allies gain +10% CRIT Rate for 2 turns. This is a team-wide benefit that directly reduces Jing Yuan’s personal CRIT Rate threshold — he only needs to reach 50–55% CRIT Rate from relics to achieve effective 60%+ during LL action windows. Unlock first among bonus abilities — the CRIT Rate gift is both personally efficient and marginally benefits all allies.
A2 — “Battalia Crush”: When LL acts and hits targets with Weakness, those enemies’ Lightning RES is reduced by 10% for 2 turns. Applied Lightning RES reduction stacks multiplicatively with Technique’s RES reduction and Pela’s DEF shred for compounding damage amplification in Lightning-weakness content. Unlock second — particularly impactful in fights with Lightning-weak enemies.
A4 — “Savant Providence”: When Jing Yuan uses Skill, LL gains +10% DMG for the next action. Directly amplifies LL’s outgoing damage — and since Jing Yuan uses Skill as often as possible, this bonus is consistently active before each LL turn. Unlock third — compound benefit with Talent upgrades for maximum LL output.
Best Team Compositions
Mobalytics states plainly: “Both Jing Yuan and Lightning-Lord gain substantial mechanical advantages from Sunday’s ability to advance their summons… Without this advantage their placement on the tier list suffers.” All top Jing Yuan teams should include Sunday if possible. If Sunday isn’t available, performance drops to the “good but not great” range that reflects his A-Tier rating. Plan to build Sunday alongside Jing Yuan for the best results.
⚡ Sunday + Robin — Premier Jing Yuan Core
The current meta-optimal Jing Yuan team as of HSR 4.0. Pocket Tactics and dbltap both identify this as Jing Yuan’s strongest composition. Every unit fulfils a precise role:
Sunday is the cornerstone of this team — he advances Lightning-Lord’s action forward by a percentage on his turn, enabling LL to fire more frequently than its base 60 SPD would normally allow. Sunday’s kit directly addresses Jing Yuan’s historical weakness (LL acting “once per blue moon”) by compressing the time between LL actions. Sunday also provides significant DMG buff to summon characters — amplifying LL’s output directly. Run Jing Yuan at 1 SPD faster than Sunday (the -1 SPD setup) for guaranteed 7-stack LL pushes per cycle.
Robin provides Concerto team action advance, flat ATK buff to all allies during Concerto, and the permanent +25% FUA CRIT DMG from A4 that applies to every LL hit. LL’s multiple hits per action generate Robin’s Concerto counter repeatedly — Robin and Jing Yuan feed each other’s action economy in a virtuous loop.
Aventurine as sustain provides Follow-Up Attack support (contributing to Robin’s Concerto counter), shield FUA interactions, and survivability without SP cost. Lingsha is an alternative providing Break-adjacent Toughness reduction and better healing in survival-critical content.
⚡ Jing Yuan + Topaz — FUA Density
A FUA-dense variant using Topaz in Robin’s slot. Topaz contributes her own FUA through Numby and provides enemy debuffing that increases FUA DMG taken. Each Numby action also contributes to Jing Yuan’s Ashblazing ATK stack, and Topaz’s Fire Weakness implantation (when relevant) opens additional Toughness damage opportunities.
Topaz’s value is specifically in content where enemies naturally have Fire Weakness (Topaz’s debuff mechanic is maximised there) — combining with Sunday’s LL advance for consistent action acceleration. This team trades Robin’s universal FUA CRIT DMG buff for Topaz’s situational Weakness exploitation and Numby’s independent DPS contribution. Best when the content features Fire-weak enemies; use Robin otherwise.
⚡ Sparkle or Tingyun — Legacy Supports
The pre-Sunday Jing Yuan team — still functional if Sunday isn’t available. Sparkle at 160+ SPD advances Jing Yuan twice before LL fires, enabling Skill + Ultimate stacking before the LL action window. In this setup, run ATK% boots on Jing Yuan (not SPD) since Sparkle handles action frequency externally.
Tingyun provides Energy regeneration — alleviating the pressure to use Basic Attack for energy generation, freeing Jing Yuan to use Skill more frequently. Tingyun’s ATK% buff also contributes to total damage output. The combination of Sparkle’s action advance and Tingyun’s energy support enables consistent 7–9 HPA stacks before LL fires even without Sunday’s direct LL advance mechanic.
Mobalytics notes: “Running a -1 setup with Sunday, where JY is 1 speed faster than Sunday, can guarantee at least a 7 stack Lightning-Lord every time Sunday pushes up the stand.” Sunday is preferable — but Sparkle + Tingyun is a historically proven, accessible alternative for players without Sunday.
⚡ F2P Jing Yuan — Budget Build
A fully F2P-accessible team using Jing Yuan alongside accessible characters. Asta provides SPD buff to the team (including Jing Yuan — helping reach 140 SPD for acting twice before LL) and Fire DMG contribution. Pela reduces enemy DEF, amplifying LL’s Lightning DMG multiplicatively. Tingyun provides energy regeneration and ATK buff — helping Jing Yuan cycle Ultimate more frequently for more HPA stacks.
Gallagher is the recommended free sustain — his SP-positive economy keeps Jing Yuan’s Skill usage high (more SP available = more Skill casts = higher HPA stacks), and he contributes Fire Toughness reduction in fights with multiple element weaknesses. This team can clear Memory of Chaos 8–10 and performs well in Pure Fiction wave content. Progress toward Sunday and Robin as long-term investments for MoC 12 performance.
Eidolons Guide
| Eidolon | Effect | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| E0 | Full base kit — Lightning-Lord summon (always present), Skill +2 HPA, Ultimate +3 HPA, max 10 HPA stacks, A6 +10% CRIT Rate for all allies after LL action, A2 Lightning RES reduction on hit, A4 LL +10% DMG after Skill. Jing Yuan is fully functional and capable of clearing all content at E0 with proper relics and Sunday support. All endgame content is achievable at E0. His A-Tier rating is based on E0 performance. | Functional A-Tier |
| E1 | “Slash the Zongshen” — Lightning-Lord DMG to adjacent enemies increases by 25%.
LL already hits adjacent enemies as part of its AoE attack pattern — this directly amplifies that damage by 25% against all adjacent targets. In multi-enemy content (Pure Fiction waves, MoC sides with 3+ enemies), E1 is a significant AoE DPS increase since adjacent-target hits are a substantial portion of total LL damage output in wave-clearing scenarios. |
AoE Power Boost |
| E2 | “Ascend the Heavenly Stairs” — After LL takes action, the DMG dealt by Jing Yuan’s Basic Attack, Skill, and Ultimate increases by 25% for 2 turns.
A personal DPS boost to Jing Yuan’s own attacks after LL fires — his Skill AoE and Ultimate AoE both deal 25% more DMG for 2 turns following each LL action. Since Jing Yuan typically uses Skill immediately after LL fires (to begin stacking HPA for the next LL window), E2’s buff is well-timed and contributes meaningfully to total output. A solid upgrade for the overall damage profile. |
Personal DMG Buff |
| E4 | “At the Forefront of Battle” — After Jing Yuan uses his Ultimate, he regenerates 10 Energy for each current HPA stack of LL (maximum 100 Energy if at max 10 HPA stacks).
At high HPA (7–10 stacks), this provides enormous Energy regeneration after the Ultimate — essentially refunding a significant portion of its 130-Energy cost. This accelerates Ultimate cycling dramatically, enabling more frequent +3 HPA boosts from Ultimate per combat cycle. A powerful quality-of-life and DPS upgrade that significantly improves rotation speed. |
Rotation Acceleration |
| E6 | “Reign of the Dozing Lord” — LL’s ATK increases by 100% of Jing Yuan’s ATK. When LL hits enemies affected by Vulnerable debuffs (LL can inflict Vulnerable), they take additional damage.
E6 is a transformative whale-tier upgrade — LL’s ATK essentially doubles relative to what it could previously reach, and the Vulnerable self-inflict + bonus DMG loop means each LL action generates its own damage multiplier. E6 Jing Yuan with Sunday and Robin and Before Dawn is genuinely one of the highest individual-action-damage characters in the game. However, reaching E6 on a rerun A-Tier character is an extraordinary investment — only for those who adore the character and aren’t concerned with meta efficiency. |
Whale Tier |
Jing Yuan’s eidolons are genuinely impactful — E1 buffs AoE, E2 boosts personal attacks, E4 massively accelerates rotation speed. However, he is an A-Tier character on reruns with a competitive Lightning DPS pool (Aglaea being mentioned as an upcoming character in his space). Multiple sources including Mobalytics advise: “DPS on rerun are never the play unless you really like the unit and don’t care about meta.” If you love Jing Yuan and pulled him on rerun, E1 and E2 are excellent value targets. E4 for rotation fluency is worthwhile for dedicated players. E6 is for true devotees of the Dozing General only.
Should You Build Jing Yuan?
✅ Build If:
- You received him for free in Version 4.0 — he’s a free gift to all players, making him an excellent investment of relic resources without any pull cost. Free A-Tier DPS is always worth building.
- You own or plan to pull Sunday — Sunday transforms Jing Yuan’s performance significantly. If Sunday is on your account, Jing Yuan becomes noticeably more competitive and the pair together is a worthwhile investment.
- You enjoy the Lightning-Lord summoner playstyle — watching LL annihilate entire waves with 7–10 individual strikes is visually spectacular and uniquely satisfying in Pure Fiction content.
- You want a capable AoE DPS for Pure Fiction — Jing Yuan with Sunday + Robin is genuinely strong in PF and clears consistently with proper investment.
- You’ve had Jing Yuan since 1.0 or 2.7 and want to finally give him his best build — Sunday was the missing piece, and building Jing Yuan properly now is rewarding for loyal fans.
⚠️ Consider Skipping or Deprioritising If:
- You’re looking to pull him on rerun specifically for meta performance — he is A-Tier in a competitive DPS pool and not recommended as a targeted rerun pull if meta output is the goal. Use those stellars on S+ Tier characters.
- Your primary content is Apocalyptic Shadow — LL’s CC vulnerability and the single-boss format are genuinely problematic. Don’t build Jing Yuan if AS is your main focus; use Firefly, Acheron, or Feixiao.
- You don’t have and can’t build Sunday — without Sunday, Jing Yuan’s performance in MoC drops to the lower end of A-Tier. He’s still functional but not the most efficient relic investment at that point.
Final Verdict: Jing Yuan is a beloved, visually spectacular, and genuinely capable A-Tier AoE DPS who was gifted free to all players in Version 4.0. He’s worth building — especially if you have Sunday — with realistic expectations. He won’t compete at the top of the meta with S+ Tier DPS like Firefly, Acheron, or Feixiao in their optimal environments. But in Pure Fiction with Sunday + Robin, he performs well, and his Lightning-Lord fantasy is uniquely satisfying. Build him because you enjoy him, give him good relics and Sunday, and he’ll reward you with spectacular wave-clearing performance.
Jing Yuan vs Other Lightning DPS
vs Acheron (S+ Tier): Acheron specialises in Lightning DoT-adjacent multi-hit Ultimate spam in Nihility support teams — a fundamentally different team archetype from Jing Yuan’s summon-FUA setup. Acheron consistently outperforms Jing Yuan in MoC and AS single-target contexts. Use Acheron as primary Lightning DPS; Jing Yuan for AoE PF specialisation.
vs Aglaea (upcoming Remembrance): Aglaea is mentioned in Prydwen’s tier list as a future Remembrance character who will likely use Sunday as a core support — creating competition for Sunday’s slot with Jing Yuan. If Aglaea is released and performs at a higher tier, she may be a more efficient use of Sunday’s support. Wait to evaluate Aglaea before investing heavily in the Jing Yuan + Sunday pairing at E0.
vs Jade (S+ Tier, Erudition): Jade is the premier AoE Erudition DPS and outperforms Jing Yuan in Pure Fiction and MoC. Jing Yuan and Jade don’t directly compete for the same team slot — they both run Erudition compositions but with different partners. If choosing between them as primary investment, Jade is the higher-tier choice.
