How to play Jing Yuan in Honkai: Star Rail

Jing Yuan is a unique Erudition character whose playstyle mainly revolves around him Lord of Lightning (LL). Jing Yuan's LL damage is considered a subsequent attackso that players can use items that enhance subsequent DMGs or Blessings of Elation in the Simulated Universe.

The Lightning Lord has a base SPD of 60 and will auto-hit (players can see this in the upper left turn sequence). It has a minimum of three stacks and can have up to 10. Each stack dictates how many shots LL will, and each additional stack also increases his SPD by 10. To get more stacks, players must use Skill and Ultimate, which add two and three stacks, respectively.

When his turn comes, the Lord of Lightning will attack three enemies at once, a prime target and two adjacent targets. The main target will take full damage, while enemies next to it will take 25% of their original DMG. Note that this the main target is SHUFFLEso the LL can hit an enemy at the end of the line and just hit an adjacent target together with her. Fortunately, each hit LL has a different primary targetmeaning the RNG won't be too cruel even when this happens.

Typically, the Lightning Lord will move shortly after Jing Yuan uses his Ability, so players will only have five stacks. The fact that he needs three to four skill casts to fill his Ultimate can make it quite difficult for players to have more than five stacks, which is why SPD boost and SPD stat it can be useful for him. Having more than five stacks it's even more important once players unlock Jing Yuan's Ascension 2 Trace, which increases the Lightning Lord's Crit DMG by 25%.
