Should You Pull?SITUATIONAL

Situational—Jingliu’s Syzygy Ice carry is mid-tier now. Ultimate “Florephemeral Dreamflux” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies. Best with Sunday / Bronya / Sparkle / Fu Xuan. SP-positive in Syzygy; wants Advance to re-enter state. Skip when you have stronger Ice limiteds (Cyrene/The Herta teams).

Jingliu is a 5★ Ice Destruction Main DPS. Skill “Transcendent Flash” is the primary in-combat spend. Ultimate “Florephemeral Dreamflux” is the payoff window for damage or team utility. This Phase 1 page covers kit text, gear targets, and pull notes—team comps stay empty until Phase 2.

Strengths

  • “Florephemeral Dreamflux” dumps a huge single-target Ice multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • Skill “Transcendent Flash” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Crescent Transmigration” spends HP as a deliberate self-damage cost—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
  • When you own “I Shall Be My Own Sword”, Jingliu’s damage or utility ceiling jumps because the cone was written around this kit’s triggers—not a generic path stick.

Weaknesses

  • E0 without “I Shall Be My Own Sword” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Destruction carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
  • HP-spend skills mean Jingliu can soft-lock if sustain is weak or if a healer tops them up at the wrong time and breaks a low-HP / Charge condition.
  • Spamming “Transcendent Flash” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Jingliu is often the SP sink.
  • If “Florephemeral Dreamflux” is still offline at the end of a MoC cycle, the build is usually Energy/ERR or rotation order—not a missing CRIT roll.

Rotation basics
General

Open with Technique if it helps, spend Skill to advance the kit’s resource, and hold Ultimate for the damage or buff window. Exact teammate order lands in Phase 2.

Supports online

Open supports first, then spend the carry’s Skill/Ult inside the buff window. Exact order varies by the team tab above.

Light Cones

1
I Shall Be My Own Sword

5★ · Path cone

Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 0.2%. When a teammate gets attacked or loses HP, the wearer gains 1 stack of Eclipse, up to a max of 3 stack(s). Each stack of Eclipse increases the DMG of the wearer's next attack by #3[f1]%. When 3 stack(s) are reached, additionally enables that attack to ignore 0.12% of the enemy's DEF. This effect will be removed after the wearer uses an attack.

Why it works —Signature / best-in-slot when owned—passive lines up with Jingliu’s kit triggers.

2
On the Fall of an Aeon

5★ · Path cone

When the wearer attacks, increases their ATK by 0.08% in this battle. This effect can stack up to 4 time(s). After the wearer breaks an enemy's Weakness, increases DMG dealt by 0.12%, lasting for 2 turn(s).

Why it works —Best accessible option for most accounts—raise superimposition when copies drop.

3
A Secret Vow
A Secret VowBF2P Best

4★ · Path cone

Increases DMG dealt by the wearer by 0.2%. The wearer also deals an extra 0.2% of DMG to enemies whose current HP percentage is equal to or higher than the wearer's current HP percentage.

Why it works —Budget path cone—fine while building the account.

4
Under the Blue Sky

4★ · Path cone

Increases the wearer's ATK by 0.16%. When the wearer defeats an enemy, the wearer's CRIT Rate increases by 0.12% for 3 turn(s).

TalentCrescent Transmigration

When Jingliu has 2 stack(s) of Syzygy, she enters the Spectral Transmigration state with her action advanced by 100% and her CRIT Rate increased by 55%. Then, Jingliu's Skill "Transcendent Flash" is enhanced to "Moon On Glacial River," and only this enhanced Skill is available for use in battle. When Jingliu uses an attack in the Spectral Transmigration state, she consumes HP from her teammates equal to 4% of their respective Max HP (this cannot reduce teammates' HP to lower than 1). Jingliu's ATK increases by 540% of the total HP consumed from all allies in this attack, capped at 225% of her base ATK, lasting until the current attack ends. Jingliu cannot enter the Spectral Transmigration state again until the current Spectral Transmigration state ends. Syzygy can stack up to 3 times. When Syzygy stacks become 0, Jingliu will exit the Spectral Transmigration state.

Only 1 Dimension Effect created by allies can exist at the same time.

Is it worth getting?

Modest E1: Flat combat-stat bump tied to a specific trigger. Helpful padding, not a build-defining unlock.

After using Ultimate, increases the DMG of the next Enhanced Skill by 80%.

Is it worth getting?

Kit add-on: After using Ultimate, increases the DMG of the next Enhanced Skill by 80%. Evaluate against your supports—pull only if that specific clause solves a problem you actually hit.

Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.

Is it worth getting?

Ultimate + Talent levels only (+2). Free if you roll into it; never spend currency aiming for E3.

Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Basic ATK Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10.

Is it worth getting?

Skill + Basic ATK levels only (+2). Skip as a goal—grab it if you overshoot toward E6, never hard-pity for it.

E6Eclipse Hollows Corporeal Husk

When Jingliu enters the Spectral Transmigration state, the Syzygy stack limit increases by 1, and Jingliu obtains 1 stack(s) of Syzygy. While she is in the Spectral Transmigration state, her CRIT DMG increases by 50%.

Is it worth getting?

Whale ceiling: Flat combat-stat bump tied to a specific trigger. Only chase if Jingliu is your dedicated Destruction main and E0–E2 already feel finished.

Jingliu is fully usable at E0. Dedicated mains often stop at E0 before chasing higher. First stop: E0. Endgame target: E0.
