Wuthering Waves: Jinhsi Build Guide

If you want to get a specific limited character in Wuthering Waves, you have to pull on the event banners using the gacha currency, which is quite difficult to build up. The game's also releasing cool characters one after another, but if you're an F2P or low-spending player, you likely can't get them all.

You have to choose between these characters, and Jinhsi was added to the choices during the first half of the Version 1.1 update. She's a five-star Spectro unit with the Broadblade as her weapon type. Once you build her properly, you'll have a satisfying time while using her.

Best Jinhsi Weapons

After successfully getting Jinhsi on your account, the next step is to find the correct weapon for her. Unfortunately, Wuthering Waves doesn't have a lot of good choices of weapons for F2P players, but here's what you can use:

Rank	Weapon Name	Synergy With Jinhsi
1	Ages Of Harvest	Of course, Jinhsi's signature weapon will give you the most value for her as it not only gives you 12 percent DMG by default, but also increases your Resonance Skill DMG by up to a whopping 48 percent. Other than all this, you can have some free Crit Rate just for upgrading this weapon.
2	Lustrous Razor	While this weapon might not give you any Crit, it does increase your Liberation DMG by up to 21 percent once you release three Resonance Skills, which is quite fast for Jinhsi.
3	Verdant Summit	This weapon can easily compete with Lustrous Razor, and it can even be better than the former in some cases because of the Crit DMG provided. However, the Heavy Attack DMG boost isn't of much use to Jinhsi.
4	Autumntrace	If you're looking at four-star options, one of your best choices will be the battle pass weapon as it gives you ATK for using your Basic and Heavy attacks. It also provides you with a decent bit of Crit Rate.
5	Broadblade Of Night	Finally, if you don't have any of the above options, you can use this Broadblade to get a decent bit of ATK whenever you use your Intro Skill.

Jinhsi Echo Guide

While it's highly important to upgrade and get a good weapon while you build Jinhsi, you'll get some hefty boosts with your echoes as well. The former takes priority since these boosts are given to your base stats, which are higher with your level. However, once you do that, you have to think of a synergistic echo set.

Unfortunately, Jinhsi only has one choice when it comes to this: Celestial Light. This set already gives her a 10 percent Spectro DMG bonus once you have five pieces from it, but you can get an extra 30 percent after using her Intro Skill. This is one of the main parts of her kit, so it works out perfectly.

Best Primary Echoes For Jinhsi

When you're on Jinhsi's echo screen, you'll see five echo slots with one of them being larger than the rest. This slot is used for the primary echo, and you can use the primary echo's special skill during the battle. It's highly important to choose the correct one for Jinhsi, and here are your best choices:

Jue	When you use Jue's ability, it deals some Spectro DMG in a large area and gives a special effect to your Resonance Skill. When you use this Skill and hit the enemy, Jue deals extra damage to these enemies at regular intervals for quite some time. Another good thing about this echo is that it's a summon and not a conversion of your Jinhsi into Jue, which lets her move around and prevent damage.
Mourning Aix	Using this echo's ability will turn you into Mourning Aix for a short period and deal some damage to the surrounding enemies. However, the main effect is the Aix increasing Jinhsi's Spectro and Liberation DMG even further.

Jue

When you use Jue's ability, it deals some Spectro DMG in a large area and gives a special effect to your Resonance Skill. When you use this Skill and hit the enemy, Jue deals extra damage to these enemies at regular intervals for quite some time.

Another good thing about this echo is that it's a summon and not a conversion of your Jinhsi into Jue, which lets her move around and prevent damage.

Mourning Aix

Using this echo's ability will turn you into Mourning Aix for a short period and deal some damage to the surrounding enemies. However, the main effect is the Aix increasing Jinhsi's Spectro and Liberation DMG even further.

Both of the echoes mentioned above are phenomenal on Jinhsi, so you can choose either one based on your play style.

Jinhsi Echo Stat Priority

Finally, here are the best stats to have on each echo while building Jinhsi:

Echo Type	Main Stat Priority
Overlord/Calamity (Cost 4)	Crit Rate/DMG
Elite (Cost 3)	Spectro DMG Bonus
Common (Cost 1)	ATK Percent

The main stat for your Cost Four echo highly depends on the weapon you're using and the Crit Ratio you have on the build .

You'd want at least 60 percent, ideally 70 percent, Crit Rate on Jinhsi, so that will be your main stat in most cases.

Apart from the main stats, you should be looking for Crit Rate/DMG > Resonance Skill DMG Bonus > Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus > ATK Percent on your sub stats. You can also get a bit of Energy Regen, but it's not necessary at all. Moreover, the best Echo cost combination to use with Jinhsi is four — three — three — two — one.

Both the Cost Three echoes will be Spectro DMG Bonus, especially if you're using a weapon with ATK percent as main stat.

Best Jinhsi Team Compositions

Unfortunately, if you want the best team composition for Jinhsi, it'll involve another limited five-star along with a standard five-star. Thankfully, you also have a decent F2P-friendly team option.

Main Jinhsi Team

Character	Role	Description
Jinhsi	Main DPS	Jinhsi's main role in most of the team will always be the on-field DPS as she takes a long time on the field to deal some significant damage. You'd commonly want to switch to her with an Intro Skill in this team.
Yinlin	Coordinated Attacks	Jinhsi has some special forte abilities (discussed below) that benefit from characters who can perform coordinated attacks. There's hardly any better character do to that than Yinlin in the game.
Verina/Baizhi	Buffer/Healer	Finally, Verina is usually the best support unit for Wuthering Waves' teams as she not only heals your character, but also gives them an overall boost with her Outro Skill.

F2P Jinhsi Team

Character	Role	Description
Jinhsi	Main DPS	Same as the last team, Jinhsi will be the character you'll use on the field most of the time.
Mortefi	Coordinated Attacks	Mortefi can also launch some coordinated attacks with his Resonance Liberation, so you'll need as high Energy Regen as possible on this character if you want to use this team.
Taoqi	Buffer/Sustainer	Finally, Taoqi can reduce the damage taken by her team while also increasing Jinhsi's Skill DMG with her Outro Skill, making it a decent combination.

Jinhsi Forte Overview And Priority

While you're trying to build Jinhsi, the hardest part will arguably be understanding how her forte/abilities work since character kits in Wuthering Waves are quite intricate. Not to worry though, here's a simple explanation of her skills:

Ability Name	Type	Description
Slash of Breaking Dawn	Normal Attacks	Jinhsi can perform up to four consecutive attacks as Basic Attacks while also doing the general Heavy, mid-air attacks, and dodge counter.
Trailing Lights of Eons	Resonance Skill	Dashes forward and deals a bunch of instances of Spectro DMG to the enemies.
Overflowing Radiance	Resonance Skill	After performing your fourth Basic Attack or Intro Skill when you're not in Incarnation, you get this special Skill that puts you into Incarnation.
Incarnation	Forte Circuit	Lets Jinhsi stay in the air and replaces all types of her attacks. Her Basic Attacks in Incarnation are considered as Resonance Skill DMG, and thus get buffed from that type of DMG bonus.
Illuminous Epiphany	Resonance Skill	This skill becomes available after the fourth Basic Attack in the Incarnation state and is the main damage source for Jinhsi. It summons Jue to deal a ton of AoE damage. Jinhsi also gains the Unison effect after casting this skill, but this can only happen once every 25 seconds. Moreover, the damage of this ability gets buffed based on your Incandescence.
Unison	Forte Circuit	When Jinhsi has this effect, it's essentially considered as her Concerto Energy being full as she can use her Outro Skill and also trigger the next character's Intro Skill. When you switch out from Jinhsi, Unison is prioritized to trigger her Outro Skill over the Concerto Energy.
Incandescence	Forte Circuit	This is the main ability that you see in the Forte bar on Jinhsi. It can hold up to 60 stacks, and you get a stack whenever an attribute type deals damage or triggers coordinated attacks. The stacks you can from attribute damage and coordinated attacks are separate, with each having a three-second cooldown. Moreover, this cooldown is for each attribute, which means that you can have multiple stacks with different attribute damages or coordinated attacks.
Purge Of Light	Resonance Liberation	Summons Jue and deals two instances of massive AoE Spectro DMG.
Loong's Halo	Intro Skill	Jinhsi takes the field and deals Spectro DMG. This ability also instantly lets her trigger the Overflowing Radiance skill.
Temporal Bender	Outro Skill	Increases the Incandescence stacks you get from the same attribute type by one for each trigger for 20 seconds.

Once you understand Jinhsi's kit and play as her for a bit, you'll quickly understand that most of her damage comes from the Resonance Skill, followed by her Resonance Liberation, making these the priority for forte upgrades. After that, you can upgrade her Intro Skill and then the Resonance Skill.

You don't have to upgrade Jinhsi's Normal Attacks as you wouldn't want to use them in an ideal scenario. If your rotations are correct, you'll always trigger the Incarnation state with your Intro Skill and not the Basic Attacks.

Tips To Play As Jinhsi

After you've completely built Jinhsi with her best echoes and weapons, the next step is to use her in battle. Here are a few tips that will help you use her efficiently and get the most value from Jinhsi:

The third Basic Attack from Jinhsi can partially crowd control the small enemies. If you're using these attacks, it can be a decent option to group enemies for your special Skill.
As mentioned above, you wouldn't want to use your Basic Attacks to trigger Incarnation in most cases. However, if you're still doing that in some instances, like the very start of the battle, it's highly recommended to not interrupt this combo until you get the Overflowing Radiance skill.
It takes quite a long time to execute Jinhsi's combination and get the Illuminous Epiphany skill ready, which makes it even more frustrating when this Skill doesn't hit anyone. It has quite a small radius for the initial beam, so you'd want to position yourself properly.
Talking about positioning, once you're in the Incarnation state, you get a dash with decent length as your Resonance Skill. This can be used to position yourself right before you get the damage dealing Skill.
