Essentially, Jing Yuan's gameplay revolves around his Divine Legion, an entity that deals incredibly devastating damage.
Following Seele, Jing Yuan emerges as the second limited character in Honkai: Star Rail. Highly anticipated, Jing Yuan possesses the Knowledge Destiny attribute with Thunder properties. His gameplay stands out with the ability to unleash widespread Thunder damage on multiple targets simultaneously, serving as both the primary damage dealer and inflicting highly annoying Thunder Break effects on enemies.
In the storyline, Jing Yuan is one of the six generals of the Tianzhou Alliance, commanding the Cloud Cavalry of Tianzhou Luofu. Leading the Cloud Cavalry of Xianzhou Loufu, known for his apparent laziness but underlying finesse, he often employs clever strategies to avoid further trouble. Thanks to these meticulous plans, Xianzhou enjoys prolonged peace, earning Jing Yuan the nickname of the 'blind-eyed general'.
Players who failed to summon Seele may wonder if investing in Jing Yuan is worthwhile. The answer depends on your choices and current lineup, but Jing Yuan is certainly one of the most worthwhile characters in the current 1.0 version with his unique skill set revolving around extremely powerful follow-up attacks from the Divine Legion's innate abilities.
Jing Yuan possesses overwhelming damage-dealing capabilities
As a character with the Destiny of Knowledge, the grand general of the Cloud Cavalry possesses exceptional wide-area damage-dealing capabilities. Both Ultimate and Combat Skills are broad-range attacks, coupled with the terrifying Divine Legion's Celestial Fortune that inflicts follow-up damage as powerful as a strike from Jing Yuan himself.
Additionally, this time Jing Yuan's character summon event includes Tingyun, a supporting character capable of boosting teammates' damage. Consequently, Jing Yuan's damage potential can further increase. Hence, playing Jing Yuan is described by many players as very 'pleasurable,' as he continuously inflicts damage to all opponents on the field.
The Divine Legion is a truly formidable Celestial Fortune
Fundamentally, Jing Yuan's gameplay can be said to revolve around his Celestial Fortune named the Divine Legion. Both Ultimate, Combat Skills, and Celestial Fortune enhance the power of the Divine Legion. With this innate ability, Jing Yuan allows the Divine Legion to continuously attack, counted as follow-up damage.
The more Jing Yuan is attacked, the stronger the Divine Legion becomes. With this innate ability capable of wide-area attacks, players need not worry too much about 'cleaning up,' as Jing Yuan's ability to break through defenses is extremely commendable. Not to mention, in the first Soul, the Divine Legion will be further increased by 25% damage output around, making clearing monsters even simpler.
Jing Yuan is suitable for the 1.0 version meta
In both the Simulation Universe and the Forgotten Hall, Jing Yuan effortlessly showcases his superiority. With the ability to deal significant damage while attacking multiple times, Jing Yuan gains a considerable advantage by leveraging the Joyful Blessing, especially with the Tavern Feast: Cat's Cradle - the most potent blessing currently available. In the Forgotten Hall, facing numerous mechanical foes summoned from Belobog is also an advantage for Jing Yuan, as he possesses the Thunder attribute, something these machines particularly despise.
