Understanding Jingliu’s Kit in 2026

Before diving into team compositions, it’s crucial to understand how Jingliu works after her massive HP scaling rework in version 3.4. Unlike her previous ATK-based kit, all of Jingliu’s abilities now scale with her Max HP instead of her ATK, fundamentally changing how we build and support her.

Key Mechanics:

• Spectral Transmigration: When Jingliu has 2 stacks of “Syzygy,” she enters the “Spectral Transmigration” state with 40% increased CRIT Rate and 100% action advance
• HP Consumption: When Jingliu uses an attack in the Spectral Transmigration state, she consumes HP from her teammates equal to 5% of their respective Max HP
• Moonlight Stacks: Each stack of “Moonlight” increases Jingliu’s CRIT DMG by 22%, up to 5 stacks – that’s a whopping 110% CRIT DMG at max stacks!

The key to maximizing Jingliu’s damage is maintaining her Spectral Transmigration state as long as possible while managing the HP drain on your team. This is where proper team composition becomes essential.

Honkai: Star Rail – Premium Jingliu Team Compositions

1. The Hypercarry Destroyer Team

Team Composition:

• Jingliu (Main DPS)
• Sunday (Action Advance Support)
• Tribbie (Damage Amplifier)
• Hyacine (Premium Sustain)

This is hands down the strongest Jingliu team in the current meta. Sunday’s Ultimate restores Energy to a selected teammate and transforms them into “The Beatified,” enhancing their CRIT DMG based on Sunday’s own CRIT DMG. Combined with his skill that provides immediate action advance, Sunday solves both of Jingliu’s main issues: energy generation and action economy.

Tribbie’s skill grants “Numinosity” which increases all ally targets’ All-Type RES PEN, while her ultimate creates a damage amplification zone. This synergizes perfectly with Jingliu’s already high damage multipliers.

The real MVP here is Hyacine. Not only does she provide consistent healing to counteract Jingliu’s HP drain, but Hyacine’s Ultimate can increase allies’ max HP, directly boosting Jingliu’s damage output. If you have her signature Light Cone, Hyacine will be able to syphon HP from all allies herself as well, playing perfectly into Jingliu’s Talent for more Syzygy stacks.

Rotation Tips:

1. Start with Tribbie’s skill to apply Numinosity
2. Use Hyacine’s ultimate when available for the Max HP buff
3. Sunday skill → Jingliu skill to quickly enter Spectral Transmigration
4. Maintain Sunday’s Beatified buff on Jingliu at all times
5. Use Jingliu’s ultimate whenever you’re at risk of losing Spectral Transmigration

2. The Action Economy Team

Team Composition:

• Jingliu (Main DPS)
• Sunday (Primary Support)
• Bronya (Secondary Support)
• Hyacine (Sustain)

By having two units with Action Advance effects, players will be able to get more charges for Jingliu’s Talent more quickly, greatly increasing the uptime of her max damage state. This team essentially lets Jingliu take multiple turns in succession, maintaining near-permanent Spectral Transmigration.

The double action advance strategy requires careful speed tuning:

• Jingliu: 135 SPD
• Sunday: 134 SPD
• Bronya: 133 SPD
• Hyacine: 160+ SPD

This setup ensures your supports always act right before Jingliu, maximizing action advance efficiency.

F2P and Accessible Team Options

3. The Zero-Dollar Destroyer

Team Composition:

• Jingliu (Main DPS)
• Remembrance Trailblazer (F2P Support)
• Asta (Speed Support)
• Lynx (F2P Healer)

Don’t have the latest premium supports? No problem! This team proves you don’t need to whale to make Jingliu work. Trailblazer Remembrance can summon “Mem” which increases the Crit DMG of teammates and can advance allies’ actions by 100%.

The Ice Trailblazer can give CRIT DMG buffs and turn advance to Jingliu, making them an excellent F2P alternative to premium supports. Asta provides team-wide speed buffs and fire damage for breaking shields, while Lynx can also increase Jingliu’s Max HP – remember, more HP means more damage!

Why This Works:

• Completely F2P accessible (everyone has these characters)
• Provides all necessary buffs: CRIT DMG, action advance, speed, and healing
• Lynx’s targeted healing keeps Jingliu healthy despite HP drain
• Surprisingly competitive damage output

4. The Synergy Masters Team

Team Composition:

• Jingliu (Main DPS)
• Blade (Secondary DPS)
• Pela (DEF Shred)
• Lynx (Sustain)

This is my personal favorite for players who want something different. This team uses Jingliu and Blade for maximum damage and SP efficiency. Whenever Jingliu uses her Empowered Skill, she will drain HP from all allies. This works wonders with Blade, whose Talent gains one stack whenever he takes damage.

Pela is preferred over the likes of Bronya and Tingyun thanks to the DEF shred effect on her Ultimate, which benefits both DPS characters. At E4, Pela becomes even better with AoE defense shred.

Key Advantages:

• Two damage dealers means less reliance on Jingliu alone
• Blade benefits from HP loss, creating positive synergy
• Extremely SP positive once both DPS enter enhanced states
• Great for content with multiple waves

Specialized Team Compositions

5. The Break Effect Team

Team Composition:

• Jingliu (Main DPS)
• Harmony Trailblazer (Break Enabler)
• Ruan Mei (Break Support)
• Gallagher/Luocha (Sustain)

While not Jingliu’s strongest team, this composition has gained popularity with the rise of break meta. Ruan Mei and Imaginary Trailblazer together form the backbone of Break-focused teams. The former increases Weakness Break Efficiency and All-RES PEN, while the latter enables Super Break damage.

Ruan Mei’s skill increases allies’ DMG and Break Efficiency, while her ultimate deploys a field that increases allies’ All-Type RES PEN. This team excels in content where enemies have ice weakness and high toughness bars.

6. The Quantum Synergy Team

Team Composition:

• Jingliu (Main DPS)
• Silver Wolf (Debuffer)
• Ruan Mei (Support)
• Luocha/Fu Xuan (Sustain)

For those who pulled Silver Wolf and want to use her, this team offers incredible versatility. Silver Wolf is a very good option, especially since stacking DEF reduction on top of the DEF ignore that Jingliu can get results in laughably high damage.

Silver Wolf can implant ice weakness on any enemy, making Jingliu viable even in off-element content. Her defense shred stacks multiplicatively with Jingliu’s DEF ignore from her A6 trace, creating massive damage spikes.

Advanced Team Building Strategies

Understanding Support Priorities

When building teams for Jingliu, prioritize supports in this order:

1. Max HP Buffers (Hyacine) – Directly increase Jingliu’s damage
2. Action Advance (Sunday, Bronya) – More turns = more damage
3. RES PEN/DEF Shred (Tribbie, Pela) – Multiplicative damage increases
4. CRIT Buffers – Good but Jingliu already has high CRIT stats

Speed Tuning Guidelines

Proper speed tuning can make or break your team’s performance:

• Hypercarry Setup: Jingliu at 135 SPD, supports at 134 SPD
• Fast Jingliu: 160+ SPD with speed boots and substats
• Base Speed: Keep Jingliu at 96 SPD if using hyperspeed supports

Managing Skill Points

Jingliu is usually going to be the only DPS on your team, which makes it quite important for her to not get crowd-controlled by the enemy. During Spectral Transmigration, Jingliu doesn’t consume skill points, making her incredibly SP positive. Use this to your advantage:

1. Front-load support skills before Jingliu enters enhanced state
2. Save skill points during Spectral Transmigration
3. Use saved points for emergency healing or rebuffing

Character Investment Priorities

Jingliu Build Essentials

Relics:

• 4pc Scholar Lost in Erudition (Best in Slot)
• 2pc Ice DMG + 2pc Quantum/Crit alternatives

Planar Ornaments:

• Since Jingliu gets a lot of CRIT DMG from her Talent, we recommend using an HP Body to increase her Max HP
• Crystalline Resonance (If you can reach 5000+ HP)
• Rutilant Arena (Standard CRIT option)

Stats Priority:

• HP% > CRIT Rate (cap at 50%) > CRIT DMG > Speed

Light Cones:

1. Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (Mydei’s signature) – BiS
2. I Shall Be My Own Sword (Jingliu’s signature)
3. On the Fall of an Aeon (F2P option)

Support Investment

Don’t neglect your supports! Here’s what to prioritize:

• Sunday/Bronya: Max speed, Energy Regen Rope
• Tribbie: HP% and Effect Hit Rate
• Healers: Speed > HP% > Outgoing Healing

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Over-investing in CRIT Rate: Jingliu should have at least 40% to 50% CRIT Rate from sub-stats to be able to deal consistent CRIT Hits during her Spectral Transmigration state. Remember, she gains 40% for free!
2. Ignoring HP substats: Every bit of HP directly translates to damage now
3. Poor speed tuning: Make sure your supports move before Jingliu
4. Skill point mismanagement: Save points during enhanced state for emergencies
5. Using ATK% main stats: These are completely useless post-rework

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Jingliu still worth pulling in 2026? 

A: Absolutely! The new buffs may not propel her to the comical heights of Madam Herta or some of our other top contenders, but Jingliu is definitively strong, and most assuredly worth your time yet again.

Q: Can I use Jingliu without premium supports? 

A: Yes! The F2P team with Remembrance MC, Asta, and Lynx can clear all content with proper investment.
