Should You Pull?SITUATIONAL

Situational—Jianxin is an Aero Liberation amp / shield hybrid. Liberation “Purification Force Field” hits every nearby target in one cast. Best with Jiyan / Changli / Calcharo. Outro Liberation amp only pays if the next Resonator actually dumps Liberation on cue. Skip when you already run Shorekeeper/Verina sustain and don’t need Liberation amp.

Jianxin is a 5★ Aero Support who fights with a Gauntlets. Liberation “Purification Force Field” hits every nearby target in one cast. Forte “Primordial Chi Spiral” applies shield or damage reduction for the active Resonator. Outro “Transcendence” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff.

Strengths

  • Liberation “Purification Force Field” hits every nearby target in one cast — team value spikes when this window is online every rotation.
  • Forte “Primordial Chi Spiral” applies shield or damage reduction for the active Resonator, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Outro “Transcendence” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
  • Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.

Weaknesses

  • Value collapses if you cannot use the Amplification niche on Outro “Transcendence”.
  • ER / Concerto investment competes with DPS Echo farming until Liberation is reliable.
