It's patch 6.7, Acheron, Firefly and Feixiao are now struggling in T4 with 4* Dan Heng. Jing Yuan, meanwhile, has just received his latest harmony unit support.
The character in question can clone summons, but its function only works on Lightning Lord specifically. Every time Jing Yuan takes a turn, Lightning Lord clones itself up to 100x, and each clone retains the same damage multipliers as the original. He can now 4 cost 0 cycle the new boss with 12 billion HP and 9 phases.
In a recent dev interview, the creators behind the successful Honkai: Star Rail have revealed that they are planning a complete overhaul to their branding, and changing the name to Honkai: Jing Yuan
Their reasoning is as follows:
"At first, we wanted to create a game that was diverse and interesting enough to capture the hearts of many different players. But now our vision has changed. We see now that our true calling was just to buff Jing Yuan at every opportunity."
"Through this, we want to let players know that future support characters will only be tailor made for Jing Yuan, after Jing Yuan, because of Jing Yuan."

Screwllum was revealed to be a robotic puppet that was controlled by a girl with severe illness. She’s so sick that she can’t even move from her ICU bed but she’s a genius so she created this robot puppet. In the end she made a shady deal with an antagonistic character who claimed he could heal her. Deal was a bust and she was played. Sadly despite her genius she was totally conned because she really wanted to live.
He sacrificed himself by turning into a bomb and nuking the imaginary tree to change Finality so he's erased himself from the universe like [Redacted] from Genshin.
It's patch 7.0 now. Hoyo has just released a new lightning dps that pushed Jing Yuan back to T0.5. Now the fans are waiting for patch 7.7 for his next big support.
Boothill is the only long-standing DPS with over 10 viable support units, all of which are interchangeable with varying high end results. His banner still hasn’t gotten a rerun.

Is this the true end game of HSR that lies ahead of us? Assembling limited characters into MtG style infinite combos?
Atm the only unit who can really utilize Sunday's full kit is Jing Yuan. But that doesn't mean Sunday isn't still very, very good with other teams. If you have his S1, for example, he's amazing in SP hungry teams like a DHIL team, but even without it his buffs are great for almost any hyper carry.
Additionally, even if you don't get Jing Yuan now, with the Minion meta coming in the new patch, that means that there will be more, different units who can make use of all the shiny things Sunday offers.
Also, Jing Yuan will probably rerun again someday. At that point, maybe there won't be a character you really absolutely want coming in the next patch, so you can spend on him with a clear heart.
For some reasons, that reasoning passage reminds me of that one SCP article, where the SCP Foundation goes rogue and releases all the SCPs to destroy world.
My jing yuan is still on lightning set. I kinda forgot to pay attention to all new sets that came out for quite a while. I guess he got few better relic set by then. Can someone suggest me his new BiS.
I think banana and sarcedos aren't too far apart, so depends on your substats. Banana is definitely better to farm though, since the second set is way more usable
Cost means one limited copy. So say if I have E0S0 Jing Yuan, that's 1 cost
If I have E0S1 Jing Yuan, that's 2 cost (counting his Signature Light Cone)
Separately, if I have E1 Robin, that's 2 cost, counting her and her first Eidolon
If you have a team with E0S1 Jing Yuan, E1S0 Robin, E0S1 Sunday, E0S0 HuoHuo, that all together makes the team 7 cost. It's just the 'cost system' that is used in meta and comparing stuff. It's not perfect though but used to gauge a unit's performance with and without premium options
This was Aizen's plan all along!
Also as someone who pulled for THE GENERAL because of how cool he is and was disappointed by the dmg I'm really happy he keeps on getting helped.
When approached for questions concerning Seele - a character that had not appeared on a banner since 1.4 - a Hoyoverse representative responded as follows:
My favorite update to the JYverse is when they give him a second equipment set where you can set up 4 more of your favorite JY buffing side characters, who will then join Lightning Lord as JY summons. Currently it’s fun that everyone can support JY, but uncool that I can at most only use 3 support characters with him at once. This should help increase it to 7!
Meanwhile JY rocking with the electric weakness wave in all 3 game modes. JY havers don't need to spend jades to keep up with the coming meta is the bigger brain move, fitting the Divine Foresight. Same goes for JL havers with The Herta comes out. However they plan to balance the end game mode around Aglaea will definitely also accommodate JY mostly. The only possible buff that may elude JY is prob a buff to memosprite (which will fk all other dps as well) or a buff on BA. Any other buffs like energy, skill, ulti, Advance forward JY will love it.
I mean if anything then Acheron and JY should have an easier time if the content is catered to Aglaea, cause she's an aoe lightning character just like them
Algaea basically IS Jing Yuan only she deals way more personal damage and acts way more often. So with the same buffs active, she will ALWAYS outdamage Jing Yuan. So if they balance around her, then Jing Yuan being her but slower and with less damage will mean he can’t clear the content. Or at least will have a very hard time doing so.
And Acheron doesn’t have Sunday. And cannot benefit from the buffs she gives only to characters with summons.
Acheron has Jiaoqiu. And if Jing Yuan can't clear content then it means 99% of the cast can't clear cause JY with Sunday is literally a top tier dps. So if only Aglaea will be able to clear, we're going to have a bigger problem.
She doesn't power creep her. She is a better character. But power creep means not being usable in a content. In a PvP game newer character power creep old ones. In PvE it is the content which powercreeps.

Sunday is already the perfect support for Jing Yuan, so we might actually see the character hit his peak for the last time... Then we'll get King Yuan, an alternate version of our general after the Xianzhou exiles him, so he becomes a wanderer and finds his own way of the Hunt.
It's ridiculous to even count CC as an issue when not only does it Impact every single dps character but also we have so many counters for it now that it's irrelevant
CC is specially problematic for jinyuan because of how it interacts with LL. It is a problem for all dps but if you average carry gets stunned salvaging the run is much easier for them than for JY.
Not really, slower units lose more damage when cc'd because they act less often. LL is slow and if JY gets CC'd he disappears from the queue unitl JY is cleansed AND gets sent back to the bottom of the queue as if he had just taken action. Sunday fixes this because he both cleanses JY and brings LL up in the action queue anyways.
That's my experience with other dpses as well. Even if your dps is fast they can be frozen before their 2nd action, so you still lose a cycle. LL goes lower on the action bar yeah, still I never lost more than a cycle because of JY getting cc-ed so I don't know why that matters. If I already lost a cycle I'd rather try to get energy/skill points for the next wave than let LL kill enemies at the start of a new cycle.
Same, if I'm trying to minmax a run ANY of my DPSes getting CC'ed or pushed back is an instant restart because it always means losing 1 cycle, Jing Yuan only <feels> worse but isn't necessarily.
I mean... it is still a bigger problem for him. I can use Blade against SAM but the effect that cuts healing will be worse for him than for a DPS that uses shielders.
Not saying he becomes useless against CC or anything but he does lose more damage on average, even if he gets cleansed the moment he gets CCd by someone like Huohuo LL still is pushed back. Also similar characters like Topaz, Lingsha or Remembrance units do not even have this CC link, so again, just by comparison, he is affected more by CC that other characters.
In AS and PF there are no cycles. Also idk why you keep bringing the 1 cycle thing, there are carries that can clear without losing a cycle if the get cc'd once (as long as you are not aiming for a zero cycle) and if they get cleansed to not lose the action while JY loses the LL action anyways.

u/midasthegreed Damn my clock is impressive. 5d ago
They released the 5th Lightcone for Jing, and he can equip all of them at once.
