The list below should help players understand everything about Jingliu’s official kit in Honkai Star Rail:

• Basic Attack: Lucent Moonglow – Deals Ice DMG to a single enemy unit.
• Skill 1: Transcendent Flash- Increases the number of stacks of Syzygy and deals Ice DMG to a single enemy target.
• Enhanced Skill: Moon on Glacial River – A single enemy target will receive Ice DMG, and nearby targets will also receive Ice DMG in proportion. Devours several stacks of Syzgy. Skill Points are not used by this ability.
• Ultimate: Florephemeral Dreamflux – Gives one stack of Syzygy and damages numerous opponents with Ice.
• Talent: Crescent Transmigration – Jingliu enters the Spectral Transmigration state with her Action Advanced, and her CRIT Rate is boosted when she has two Syzygy stacks. The skill "Transcendent Flash" is then upgraded to "Moon On Glacial River." Only this upgraded skill is usable during combat. When Jingliu uses an attack while in the Spectral Transmigration state, all of her allies' HP is depleted by a percentage of their individual Max HP (but not below 1). Until the current attack is over, Jingliu's ATK grows proportionately dependent on the total HP allies have given up for this attack, with a cap set at a fraction of her base ATK. This effect lasts until the attack is over. Until the present Spectral Transmigration state expires, Jingliu is unable to transition into it once more. Up to three Syzygy can be stacked. Jingliu will leave the Spectral Transmigration state whenever the Syzgy stacks reach 0.
• Technique: Shine of Truth – Creates a dimension around Jingliu after employing this technique that lasts for a while and causes all foes inside of it to suffer from Freeze. Jingliu immediately gains one Syzygy stack and regenerates energy after engaging in combat with adversaries within the dimension. This ability has a 100% base chance to freeze enemy targets for a number of turns. Enemy targets who are frozen are unable to act and take additional Ice DMG at the beginning of each turn. There can only be one dimension that your team has produced at a time.
