The recent Honkai Star Rail 1.4 livestream has officially showcased the Jingliu banner. Here is a list of 4-star units featured on her limited-time warp:

• Tingyun (Lightning/ Harmony)
• Qingque (Quantum/ Erudition)
• Sampo (Wind/ Nihility)

It appears that all of them are making a rerun after appearing on multiple banners in the past. Tingyun, in particular, is one of the most popular characters to use across various late-game contents as of version 1.3. She serves as an excellent buffer for various DPS and can also benefit Jingliu in the coming days.

As for Qingque and Sampo, they get significantly stronger with higher Eidolons. Hence, the next banner is worth summoning for those willing to snag a few copies of it.

That said, Jingliu’s signature Light Cone, I Shall Be My Own Sword, will be featured on the Brilliant Fixation Warp throughout her banner phase.

The gear increases her CRIT DMG by 32%, and she gains a stack of Eclipse up to three times whenever an ally loses HP from any source. Each stack increases her DMG by 24% and unleashes an additional attack that ignores 20% of the enemy's defense.
