Jiyan
Windborne Rider
Yes for Aero Heavy Attack hypercarry—Jiyan’s Qingloong window still clears ToA. Liberation “Emerald Storm - Prelude” enters Qingloong Mode and replaces basics with Lance of Qingloong Heavy Attacks. Best with Mortefi / Shorekeeper / Verina. Qingloong Mode wants field time and Heavy Attack amp—swap early and the Liberation dump never lands. Skip when your Aero side is already solved and you won’t build a Heavy Attack support shell.
Jiyan is a 5★ Aero Main DPS who fights with a Broadblade. Liberation “Emerald Storm - Prelude” enters Qingloong Mode and replaces basics with Lance of Qingloong Heavy Attacks. Forte “Qingloong at War” enters Qingloong Mode and replaces basics with Lance of Qingloong Heavy Attacks.

Strengths
- Liberation “Emerald Storm - Prelude” enters Qingloong Mode and replaces basics with Lance of Qingloong Heavy Attacks — that window is where Jiyan’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Qingloong at War” enters Qingloong Mode and replaces basics with Lance of Qingloong Heavy Attacks, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Skill “Windqueller” seeds coordinated pressure so Jiyan still contributes after leaving the field.
- Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
Weaknesses
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Emerald Storm - Prelude” is up — double-DPS swaps dilute the dump window.
- Wants dedicated supports and ER planning; dropped into a random squad, Liberation uptime falls off a cliff.

Premium Jiyan shell: Iuno brings Heavy Attack amp; Shorekeeper locks Stellarealm CRIT Rate/DMG plus heal so Jiyan can greed the full Liberation window.

Only consider Ciaccona in the third slot with Jiyan on Windward Pilgrimage, Iuno in the team, and Ciaccona on her Signature Weapon.

Iuno Outros Heavy Attack Amplification — swap into Jiyan so Heavy / Liberation dumps ride the full amp.
Shorekeeper’s Stellarealm is the premium generalist seat — party CRIT Rate/DMG, heal, and DMG amp so Jiyan can greed the full Liberation window.
