Best Jiyan build in Wuthering Waves: Echoes, weapons, team comps, and skills

Jiyan is a 5-star limited Aero character in Wuthering Waves. He uses a Broadblade as his weapon and is an amazing on-field damage dealer. Unlike most other characters in the game who deal damage from their ultimate ability, Jiyan only enters a special state in which all of his attacks are transformed into Heavy Attacks. This is also his main source of damage.

With that in mind, this article will explain how you can build Jiyan in Wuthering Waves. This guide includes the character's best Echoes, weapons, team comps, and skill priorities.

Felilian Beringal is the best main Echo option for Jiyan since it is the only one available for the Sierra Gale set. Using the Echo skill will trigger a kicking attack, dealing Aero damage. If this kick hits the enemy, it will trigger a follow-up attack will trigger, dealing more Aero damage.
