Jiyan Best Weapon & Artifacts for 2026
⚡ Why This Build Works
Verdant Summit (signature Broadblade) synergizes with Jiyan's kit because it provides the stats they need most. Combined with Sierra Gale (5pc) Aero DMG + Feilian Beringal (main echo), this build achieves the best balance of damage output and energy efficiency in the current meta. The main stat priority of CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Aero DMG% ensures Jiyan hits the right damage breakpoints while keeping their rotation smooth.
Build Tips & Optimization
Best Weapon for Jiyan in 2026
Verdant Summit (signature Broadblade) is the best-in-slot weapon for Jiyan. This weapon maximizes their damage output by synergizing with Aero damage and their kit mechanics. It provides the optimal stat balance — whether that is ER for burst uptime, CRIT for raw damage, or EM for reaction teams.
F2P Weapon Option
Lustrous Razor (4★ Broadblade) is a strong alternative that performs well without spending primogems on the weapon banner. It provides competitive damage especially at refinement 5. For budget players, this weapon lets Jiyan clear most content without sacrificing too much damage — the gap between Lustrous Razor (4★ Broadblade) and Verdant Summit (signature Broadblade) is usually manageable in endgame content.
Best Artifact Set for Jiyan in 2026
Sierra Gale (5pc) Aero DMG / Feilian Beringal (main echo) is the recommended set. This set provides the best balance of damage and utility for Jiyan in most team compositions. The 4-piece set bonus works directly with their kit to amplify damage, while the 2-piece bonus covers their stat requirements early on.
Stats Priority
- Substats: CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Aero DMG% > Energy Regen
- Main Stats: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Aero DMG%
Getting the right main stats is the most important step — a correct main stat with bad substats will always outperform the wrong main stat. Once your main stats are correct, focus on improving substat rolls to optimize Jiyan's damage further.
Build Variants
One character can fill multiple roles depending on weapon, artifact, and stat investment. These are the strongest Jiyan build directions for different content.
Premium Aero Hypercarry
Best-in-slot for maximum Lance-state Heavy Attacks; signature converts stats into Heavy Attack DMG / ATK.
F2P Aero
Free-path Broadblade still gives the Aero set; pair with a Heavy-Attack buffer (Mortefi) for his ceiling.
Rotation Guide
Buffer builds Concerto + buffs -> Jiyan Intro -> Resonance Skill to enter the Lance state -> spam Heavy Attacks -> Resonance Liberation -> swap out. Rinse and repeat.
Practicing this rotation is essential. Jiyan relies on proper ability ordering to snapshot buffs, maintain uptime, and maximize their damage window. Watch your energy gauge and swap back to supports before Jiyan's buff window expires.
Common Mistakes When Building This Character
- Using wrong main stat on artifacts — stat priority beats set bonus in most cases.
- Ignoring Energy Recharge requirements — not enough ER breaks the rotation.
- Copying whale builds — most guides assume 5-star weapons and high constellations.
- Over-investing in ATK when the character scales with HP, DEF, or EM instead.
- Not leveling the right talents first — some talent upgrades are trap investments.
- Neglecting the team — Jiyan performs best in Jiyan + Mortefi (Heavy-Attack buffer) + Verina / Shorekeeper., so build around their support needs.
