Light Cone
Before DawnCRIT DMG and direct Skill, Ultimate and follow-up amplification cover Jing Yuan's entire rotation, with the largest bonus landing on Lightning-Lord.
A Dream Scented in WheatIts CRIT Rate and direct Ultimate and follow-up damage bonuses match Jing Yuan and Lightning-Lord without a false activation condition.
A Battle Pass four-star cone; use it only when already available on the account.
Geniuses' ReposeIt supplies ATK and strong CRIT DMG after a kill, making it effective in waves but less reliable against a lone boss.
A permanent four-star Warp cone that does not require a limited signature.
Relics
Lightning-Lord's many hits rapidly stack the four-piece ATK bonus, which remains the most coherent general set for Jing Yuan's kit.
Planar Ornaments
Lightning-Lord is a summoned target, so the set grants its full 48% CRIT DMG without a separate activation threshold.
CRIT Rate and Ultimate/follow-up damage directly support Jing Yuan and Lightning-Lord.

Trace priority
- Talent
- Ultimate
- Skill
Jing Yuan uses Skill and Ultimate to add hits to Lightning-Lord, then Sunday advances the summon so those stacks convert into damage before they are wasted.
How to play it
- 1Keep Jing Yuan one SPD above Sunday after persistent buffs.
- 2Use Jing Yuan's Skill, then let Sunday advance him and Lightning-Lord.
- 3Use the Ultimate before Lightning-Lord acts when its three extra hits can reach a high stack count.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
Prydwen's displayed calculations assume three targets and its major build update is 4.0; Icy Veins independently confirms the follow-up core. The released 4.0–4.4 compare and exact snapshot were used to verify BananAmusement Park and current IDs. CRIT targets explicitly separate sheet stats from self and planar buffs.
