Honkai Star Rail: Jing Yuan’s abilities

Glistening Light (Basic Attack)

Jing Yuan’s ATK deals Lightning DMG equal to 50% on a single opponent.

Rifting Zenith (Skill)

Rifting Zenith is an AoE ATK that deals Lightning DMG equal to 50% of Jing Yuan’s ATK to every opponent. This skill also boosts the Lightning-Lord’s attack by increasing its count to 2 on the next turn.

Lightbringer (Ultimate)

Jing Yuan’s ultimate is one of the strongest AoE moves in the game. It deals Lightning DMG equal to 120% of Jing’s ATK to every opponent. Similarly, it boosts Lightning-Lord’s attack count by 3 for the following turn.

Prana Extirpated (Talent)

Prana Extirpated brings forth the Lightning-Lord at the start of the match. The Lightning-Lord has three base attack counts. Each of these counts deals Lightning DMG equal to Jing Yuan’s ATK on single opponents. The adjacent targets are also impacted and they receive Lightning DMG equal to 25% of the damage inflicted on the primary enemy. The Lightning-Lord also has 60 bases of SPD, and its attack count can reach up to 10. Keep in mind that when the Lightning-Lord’s attack count increases, its speed is also influenced. For example, every single increase in attack count increases SPD by 10. The values return to their base number once the action is complete. The Lightning-Lord will not be able to do anything if Jing Yuan is debuffed by Crowd Control. Similarly, the Lightning-Lord will disappear if Jing Yuan is knocked out.

Command Talisman (Technique)

The Lightning-Lord’s Attack count gets increased by 2 at the start of the following fight when Jing Yuan uses the Command Talisman Technique.

Although the Butterfly on Swordtip banner, which features the five-star character Seele, is a strong damage dealer, fans will want to grab Jing Yuan for a more aggressive approach to eliminating multiple enemies in one wave with equal efficiency. Jing’s ability to call upon a Lightning-Lord is the most fascinating feature which lets him deal massive Lightning DMG to enemies.
