Ultimate Jean Guide: Best Builds and Team Compositions

Jean's Abilities and Playstyle

Elemental Skill: Gale Blade

Pressed: Quick, deals AoE damage and gathers some particles. Ideal for swift Swirl reactions.

Held: Pulls and lifts enemies, enabling fall damage strategies. Particularly effective against smaller foes.

Use the pressed version frequently in rotations for consistent damage and Swirl reactions.

The held version is situational, best used for controlling enemy positions or when fall damage can be exploited.

‍

Elemental Burst: Dandelion Breeze

Delivers AoE Anemo damage and provides immediate healing to all team members.

Leaves a Dandelion Field that continuously deals Anemo damage to enemies and heals active party members.

Scales off Jean’s ATK, making her a potent healer.

‍

Tactical Use

Use the burst for both healing and damage, particularly effective in tight situations.

The Dandelion Field serves as a secondary healing source and can be used for cleansing certain elemental effects.

‍

Normal and Charged Attacks

Jean can heal the team with her normal attacks, adding to her versatility.

While not the primary source of healing, her attacks can provide additional healing in combat.

‍

Talent Priority

Healer/Support Role

Elemental Burst: Central to her healing capability. Enhancing this talent increases both the healing amount and the AoE Anemo damage. The burst provides immediate team-wide healing and creates a field that continuously heals and damages enemies.

Elemental Skill: Regular use provides Swirl reactions, particle generation, and moderate damage. Essential for crowd control and setting up elemental reactions.

Normal Attack: While her normal attacks can heal, they are not the primary source of healing or damage in a support role. Supplemental healing and consistent damage when abilities are on cooldown.

‍

DPS Role

Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst: Both talents contribute significantly to Jean's DPS output. The skill for continuous damage and control, and the burst for AoE damage and healing. Maximizing these talents enhances Jean's ability to deal consistent damage while maintaining her healing utility.

Normal Attack: In a DPS role, her normal and charged attacks become more relevant for sustained damage. Important for maintaining damage output between skill and burst cooldowns.
