Who is Jing Yuan in Honkai Star Rail
As the general of the Cloud Knights who commands the Xianzhou Alliance, Jing Yuan undoubtedly carries the aura of a great leader who can keep the peace of Xianzhou Luofu. Assigned as one of Luofu's six generals, everyone can rely on Jing Yuan's deep combat experience. Even before the war itself began, Jing Yuan's great mind had already developed brilliant tactics to win the battle.
After you complete the first chapter of the main story, the Pathfinders will embark on a new journey to Xianzhou Luofu because there is "news" that Stellaron will cause a big disaster if no one does anything about it. At the same time, Blade, a member of the Stellaron Hunters, also escapes to Xianzhou Luofu. Will Jing Yuan, as the Cloud Knights' general, be able to keep the peace in Xianzhou Luofu?
By giving him the best light cone, relics, and crew, you can also help Jing Yuan prevent Xianzhou Luofu's disaster!
Best build for Jing Yuan in Honkai Star Rail
Since Jing Yuan is a Path of Erudition character, his kit revolves around delivering electrical attacks to enemies. Some might even say that adding Jing Yuan to your team means you'll also have a "hidden fifth character", the Lightning Master himself, who will always unleash successive electrical attacks on enemies. Jing Yuan can be assembled as a great Electro DPS with area attacks, as well as becoming an Electro Resistance Destroyer.
For the Relic build Jing Yuan and Planar Orb better prioritize by still increasing the buff of Jing Yuan's Electric Attacks first and then his ATK. Because even though his set revolves around his ATK, the Shock damage buff will still buff all of Jing Yuan's damage.
Concerning Light Cone builds Jing Yuan, you can focus on the Light Cone Paths of Erudite, as we cannot activate the effect from another Light Cone Path. Here are the best light cones, relics, planar spheres, and the best commands for Jing Yuan.
Best light cone for Jing Yuan in Honkai Star Rail
Even though Jing Yuan has a follow-up attack the same as Gerta or Himeko, Himeko's set is more focused on overcoming enemy resistance while Gerta's Light Cone only focuses on boosting her follow-up attack. But Jing Yuan's kit is more focused on dealing high damage from his ultimate attack and skill attack. So it's better to increase his overall damage or find a bonus to increase the damage of the ult from a 4 or 3 star Light Cone.
Here are the recommended light cones for Jing Yuan
Before Dawn
✦✦✦✦✦
Light Cone Skill - Long Night. Increases crit. damage by 32-64% and damage of skills and ultimate ability by 20-40%. After using a skill or ultimate ability, the owner receives the status of "Sleeping Body". After using a follow-up attack, the Sleeping Body status is consumed and the damage dealt by the follow-up attack is increased by 48-96%.
"Before Sunset" - The best light cone in the slot for Jing Yuan.
An increase in skill and ultimate damage, not to mention an increase in critical damage (which is a very rare buff for a light cone).
It will also increase the damage of the next attack.
If you have this light cone, just equip it and you don't have to think about anything else.
Let the world not subside
✦✦✦✦
Light Cone Skill - Sound Power. At the beginning of the battle, the wearer recovers 20-32 HP. energy, and the damage from the ultimate ability is increased by 24-48%.
The energy recovery only activates once, but the ultimate damage buff here is the reason why this cone of light is also recommended for Jing Yuan.
Data Bank
✦✦✦
Light Cone Skill - Erudite. Increases the damage of the owner's ultimate ability by 24-48%.
"Budget" version of the cone Let the world not subside.
But since this is a 3-star light cone, you can easily get the maximum overlay effect, which can potentially be even lower than the light cone. Seriousness.
Seriousness of breakfast
✦✦✦✦
Light Cone Skill - Get Ready. Increases the wearer's attack power by 15-24%. For each enemy defeated, the wearer's attack power is increased by 4-8%, stacking up to 4 times.
A "budget" replacement if you don't have Jing Yuan's signature light cone.
With a damage boost buff for Jing Yuan's entire attack, not to mention an extra ATK buff after defeating an enemy, this cone of light comes in handy when you're fighting a bunch of enemies.
Passkey
✦✦✦
If you don't have a 4 or 5 star light cone, this cone will help Jing Yuan use his ultimate more often.
Thanks to its 3-star rarity, this light cone will also be easier to max out.
Insight
✦✦✦
Jing Yuan's set revolves around his ATK. Since the buff lasts for 2 turns, this is a good compensation to keep Jing Yuan's damage high.
We recommend to equip Passkey for Jing Yuan.

On the team, Jing Yuan will act as your area damage dealer, reducing electrical resistance. So you can target another element's DPS or add a healer or shielder to keep your team survivable.
