Healing Support Jean

Jean's primary role in this build is to utilize normal attacks forshort bursts of healing (15% of her ATK) while charging up her ElementalBurst, Dandelion Breeze. Her play style focuses on short on-fieldswaps, performing normal and charged attacks blended in withher Gale Blade to make elemental orbs for your team. Her Dandelion Breeze is used for critical healing, usually providinga full heal to your entire team.

For Jean's weapon choice, we select Freedom-Sworn overthe Primordial Jade Cutter due to the on and off-fieldeffects that can be applied to the entire team. The Primordial Jade Cutter would be more aligned with Jeanfor a Sub DPS role or to amplify her personal damage to increase herhealing for the team. Overall, we feel that the Freedom-Swornslightly edges out the alternatives for her support build. The 4-star swordchoices in this build are once again looking to support team compositionand not Jean's combat capabilities.

At higher levels (70 and above), Jean can provide mediocre physical damagewith bursts of Anemo while remaining relatively tanky with a decent Healthpool. This can come in handy when you need to create some elemental orbs orcharge up her Dandelion Breeze to fully heal your team. For themost part, you will want to stack your Energy Recharge andAttack Power for bringing her out on the field for short durations. HerArtifact selection is relatively straight forward and the best in slot would bethe Viridescent Venerer 4-piece set.

Combos and How to Play Jean

When choosing your setup for Jean, you ultimately will need to decide howyou want to play her. Jean is not only a fantastic support healer but we canalso be used to augment other players through her Artifacts, and contributeto increasing the power of others. Jean's elemental skill has a relativelyshort cooldown, so swapping her on-field to blast a group of enemies with Gale Blade or doing a quick flurry of strikes to get somehealing on to your characters is the preferred play style for her.

Jean's Elemental Skill, Gale Blade, has some advantages of beingable to push enemies away or when held down, it can pull enemies towards a designatedspot. This can be used with terrain, such as cliffs, water or other elementalground effects from other characters. This burst attack can also help with Swirlchain combinations and reactions, offering a decent chunk of damage on a shortcooldown. Her Burst ability, Dandelion Breeze, is really whereshe shines as a healer. This large circular AoE attack not only does damage, butheals a significant amount of health to all characters and then provides aheal-over-time to the active character standing in the marked area after the skillwas cast. This allows us the opportunity to use Dandelion Breezeas a powerful addition to any heroes that sacrifice health for certain attacksor to simply stay in a fight without the need to reposition for safety.

Jean's abilities function effortlessly at C0 and she's a great character touse at any point in the game. Her play style and augmented healing abilities allowfor her to join a large collection of teams. Her constellations provide many usefulupgrades, but none of them are critical to her success. While often being acharacter on the Standard Banner, Jean can be targetedoccasionally on the Chronicled Wish Banner.

Jean's Best Team Comps

Most of Jean's team compositions involve her as a healing support member,triggering Swirl reactions and elementalcombinations with her Anemo skills. She typically always fillsthe support role and is never a main DPSer. However, due to her decent amountof health and scaling with Physical damage, she can hold her own on thebattlefield.

4.1.

Double Hydro

SupportMain DPSSub DPSSub DPS
Jean Raiden Shogun Yelan Furina

This build is an Elemental Burst stacking build mainly used for bosses.Furina and Yelan's Elemental Bursts offerunique buffs, Fanfare and Dice, to the active character on the battlefield.These buffs help to augment Raiden Shogun's damage while shefights and can stack with Raiden's own Elemental Burst, Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu, which offers Resolve stacksto the active player. This means the active player on-field, Raiden in thiscase, will have 3 stacks of buffs going at the same time. Jean comes into playby offering RES shred and healing for the team, as well as a large blast ofAnemo damage. Her healing effects can also create a synergy with Furina'sFanfare buff, pushing up the stack count for any HP changes while you fight withRaiden. These 3 stacks of buffs play a vital role in this build so be sure tokeep them renewed as quickly as you can.

4.2.

Sunfire Melt

SupportBufferSub DPSMain DPS
Jean Bennett Kamisato Ayaka Yanfei

Sunfire is the community name for the interaction between Jeanand Bennett’s Elemental Burst abilities, with Bennett using hisburst first than Jean applying her burst second. This unique reaction takesplace because Bennett's burst applies a Pyro aura to thebattlefield which is continually applied to your active character. When Jean'sElemental Burst is added to Bennett's, she can Swirlthat Pyro aura off of your character triggering an explosive reaction. This canrepeat itself when both Elemental Bursts are stacked on top of one another. Wecan then take this combination further by using Ayaka@’sElemental Burst, Kamisato Art: Soumetsu, to addCryo and a large scale AoE to the battlefield. Lastly, wetrigger a massive Melt with Yanfei'sPyro abilities, using both her Skill and Burst together. Finish off any enemiesleft on the map with Yanfei’s charged attacks.

4.3.

Double Anemo Xiao

Jean Xiao Fischl Zhongli

This combination is a power house with a simple playstyle.Zhongli provides shielding to the team, holding down hisElemental Skill to activate it. Fischl's Elemental Skill, Nightrider, provides a constant source ofElectro DMG alongside your Anemo strikes fromboth Jean and Xiao. Jean's role is mainly healingsupport for Xiao's devastating plunging attacks with his Elemental Burst, Bane of All Evil. She provides healing from both her normal attacks and Dandelion Breeze for topping off Xiao as he loses a portion of his healthwith each of his signature attacks. Typically, you finish off Xiao's rotation, maximizinghis time on-field to do damage, then heal him and repeat the process.

4.4.

Ganyu Freeze

SupportMain Cryo DPSHydra off-fielderFlex option or Shielder
Jean Ganyu Xingqiu Diona

This Freeze composition uses a Hydrocharacter, specifically Xingqiu in this example, to doseenemies with Hydro then Freeze the entire group usingGanyu's Elemental Burst or Charged Attack. Thiscombination puts Jean into the specific slot of amplifying the elementalattacks with Swirl and using her Elemental Skill to herd enemies togetherbefore Freezing everything with a Cryo skill. We chose toinclude Diona in this composition, as you get the added effect of shielding andCryo resonance for more CRIT Rate. Ganyu typically carriesthis team, with her powerful elemental abilities and charged shots.

4.5.

Quickswap Taser Team

Main DPSSub DPSSub DPSSub DPS
Jean Beidou Fischl Xingqiu

This Taser focuses on having Jean on the field brawling,then bringing out Xingqiu's Elemental Skill to buff our DamageReduction. This combination makes Jean an absolute tank, withher healing capabilities off-setting any damage she takes ina fight. On top of the Damage Reduction we receive from Xingqiu, we canalso stack Beidou's Elemental Burst, Stormbreaker,for even more Damage Reduction. Fischl will provide a powerfuloff-fielder with her Nightrider skill stackingwith all our other elemental effects on the field, helping tocreate strong Elemental Reactions for this team.
