Jiyan Wuthering Waves Build Guide: Best Weapon, Echoes, Teams, Skills, and Materials

Jiyan Overview

Jiyan is a 5-star Aero Broadblade Resonator released on May 23, 2024. He is a sustained burst main DPS who performs best when the team sets up buffs first and then lets him stay on field to complete his empowered sequence.

Jiyan remains one of the cleanest Aero carries in the game. He is especially strong in grouped content, scales well with premium supports, and still feels reliable in endgame bossing when played with a proper setup.

If you are preparing pulls or weapon resources, Topuplist offers a convenient option through the dedicated Wuthering Waves top up page.

Kit Snapshot

Jiyan is built around entering his empowered Liberation state and converting that into a long, high-value damage window. He wants the field prepared for him before he starts, because breaking his rhythm early costs real damage.

His main strengths are:

excellent grouped Aero damage,
clean main-DPS rotation,
strong scaling with polished support shells.

He performs best when the team clears setup before he starts his empowered field time.
