Jianxin 5 star Resonator

Jianxin Overview

Jianxin, born amidst the untamed realm and nurtured within the confines of a Taoist community, has been bestowed with the wisdom of Fengyiquan, a formidable martial art. Her formative years cultivated within her an unwavering commitment to refining her martial prowess, driven by an unadulterated and unwavering determination. Now, she embarks on a voyage into the realm of ordinary existence, eagerly seeking to taste the complexities of everyday life and attain a profound comprehension of the world that encompasses her. In Wuthering Waves, Jianxin is a 5-Stars Aero character and uses Gauntlet during the fight.

Jianxin Review

Jianxin is a permanent 5-Star Aero character in Wuthering Waves.

Possesses comprehensive support abilities, capable of providing shields, healing, and pulling enemies together. The range and intensity of the pulling enemies are currently the best in the version, but still not excellent.

Resonance Skill is a damage-immune defensive counter, making it very suitable for novice players unfamiliar with action games to tackle high-difficulty dungeons.

Although it has damage output capabilities, the multipliers are very low and it lacks burst methods.

Pros

• Can provide high-value shields that are shared across the team, and during the shield duration, continuously restores the health of on-field characters.
• The pulling enemies effect of Resonance Liberation is particularly helpful in floors with many small enemies, providing support to high-burst but small-area damage characters, saving a lot of time.

Cons

• The efficiency of accumulating Concerto Energy and Resonance Energy is low, and Forte Circuit energy cannot be used in batches.
• Once Forte Circuit is used, regardless of whether the energy is fully consumed, the Forte Circuit energy will be cleared after exiting the charge state.
• Jianxin’s pace is relatively slow, creating a sense of disparity with the fast-paced combat characteristic of Wuthering Waves. Moreover, if there is already a healer in the team, Jianxin’s shield and healing abilities seem somewhat redundant.
