Jean Build Guide
I was asked by @acidhues to do a build guide for Jean and Iâm very happy to do so! God, I love Jean! Where even to begin? Thereâs just so much to love about her. Sheâs definitely the best case scenario on a 50/50 loss, imo.
If youâre looking to build Jean hopefully this post is of some use! :3
Role
Jean is a true âJack of All Trades.â She can heal, she can DPS, she can crowd control, she can battery, she can VV shred, she can cleanse elemental debuffs (looking at you floor 11) and she can even be a burst support/sub DPS! She can truly fit into any team comp and preform any role. Sheâs a fantastic character to have!
Jean heals with her auto attacks and her healing scales with her atk%. This means she can be built like a DPS in order to heal. Because of this she fills the role of a sub DPS very well.
If you need crowd control, a good healer or even a DPS then Jean can do it and she can do it well!
Talents
If building Jean as a DPS, prioritize her Normal Attacks over her skill and burst. As a support, focus on her skill and burst over her autos.
Jeanâs Talents level up with Books of Resistance, Stained Masks, and at higher levels, Dvalinâs Plume.
Weapon
âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸- Aquila Favonia; Skyward Blade; Primordial Jade Cutter; Summit Shaper
âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ - Festering Desire; Prototype Rancour; Favonius Sword; The Flute; Sacrificial Sword; Black Sword
Jean can make use of pretty much any 4 or 5âď¸ sword so just use what you have. For DPS, the Aquila Favonia is her BiS weapon whereas Skyward Blade is her BiS for support.
The Festering Desire is a great f2p option for her if you happened to acquire it back in 1.2.
Artifacts
Overview - DPS
(4pc) Gladiator; (4pc) Pale Flame; (2pc) Pale Flame, (2pc) Bloodstained Chivalry, (2pc) Gladiator
Pale Flame is better than 4 pc Gladiator unless you have better sub stats on the Glad. You can run a 2 piece combo of any of the above sets depending on your need for atk% or physical damage increase. Itâs worth nothing that most of Jeans damage comes from fall damage from yeeting her enemies. Since this requires her to hold E 2pc Pale Flame might be better over 4pc for overall more consistency.
Stats
Timepiece - Atk%
Goblet - Physical Damage Bonus
Circlet - Crit Rate or Crit Dmg
Sub Stats
Prioritize Sub stats in the following order:
Crit Rate = Crit Dmg > Atk% > Energy Recharge > Atk
Overview - Support
(4pc) Viridescent Veneerer; (4pc) Noblesse Oblige; (2pc) VV, (2pc) NO, (2pc) Gladiator
Which set you use pretty much just depends on the team comp. If you need resistance shredding and donât have another VV on the team then use that. Vice versa for Noblesse. You can run a hybrid of the two if needed or 2pc VV, 2pc Glad for more healing. Regardless of the set youâll mostly want to stack atk% and energy recharge
Stats
Timepiece - Energy Recharge or Atk%
*Run ER for more bursts/healing, run Atk% for more damage
Goblet: Atk%
Circlet: Atk%
Sub Stats
Prioritize sub stats in the following order
Atk% > Energy Recharge > Crit Rate = Crit Dmg > Atk
Team Comp
Jean can fit into pretty much any team comp and any role. She makes a great battery for other Anemo characters, can support just about anyone with her healing and CC, and can be used in physical or elemental team comps.
As a DPS she would work best with superconduct support to half the resistance of physical damage. Electro and Cryo characters such as Diona or Fishcl work well for this. Zhongli is another great option for his universal resistance shredding.
As a support her team comps are truly limitless.
TLDR:
Jean is an amazing character capable of both support and DPS. In my opinion she is hands down the best off-banner 5 star in the game. Her talents ascend with Books of Resistance, Stained Masks and Dvalinâs Plume. Aquila Favonia, Skyward Blade, and Festering Desire are her BiS weapons. If DPS she can run Pale Flame, Gladiator and Bloodstained artifact sets. As a support she can use a mix of VV and Noblesse sets. If DPS she benefits from physical resistance shredding in her team comp, as a support she fan fit into literally any team.
I wish everyone a very have Jean!! Definitely one of the most useful characters to have. If youâre building her I hope this post helps! :3
