Is Jingliu overpowered in Honkai Star Rail?

In version 1.4, players will see the introduction of the eagerly awaited 5-star Ice character Jingliu. Given the tremendous damage output of the characters who follow Path of Destruction, Jingliu will likely be appreciated by the players who want a good DPS.

Jingliu was originally Jing Yuan's master and the Xianzhou Luofu's sword master. However, a catastrophe followed, and Jingliu lost the ability to think. Despite being a mess, she managed to guide Jing Yuan and help him prepare for the challenges ahead.

With her powerful abilities, Jingliu is likely to be an explosive damage dealer in Honkai Star Rail. She is a flexible 5-star character with access to single targets and AoE Ice attacks.

Here is a thorough explanation of her complete arsenal and all she can do in battle.

Skill:

• There are two different versions of Jingliu's skill available. The standard activation generates two New Moon stacks and deals Ice DMG to an opponent depending on her ATK.
• The enhanced skill, on the other hand, changes the strike into an AoE that deals Ice DMG to a target and nearby opponents.

Ultimate:

• Jingliu releases Ice DMG on numerous foes after using her Ultimate. She earns two more Moonlight stacks after striking an enemy while in her Transcendence stance. Apart from that, she obtains two stacks of New Moon.

With the skills mentioned above, Jinglui’s definitely going to be an SS+unit in the upcoming version. Although she certainly has a high probability of getting a few nerfs before her debut in 1.4 to keep the character balanced, Regardless, it sounds like she will be a formidable character in the game.
