Jing Liu Light Cone Recommendations

The following are Light Cone (LC) recommendations for Jing Liu in order:

5 Star Light Cone

We recommend 5-star Light Cone for Jing Liu characters, namely, I Shall Be My Own Sword, On the Fall of an Aeon, and Something Irreplaceable.

I Shall Be My Own Sword

This is Jing Liu's own signature Light Cone (LC), so we highly recommend this LC because it is very suitable for Jing Liu to wear.

If you look at the weapon skill, it increases the user's Crit DMG, so your Jing Liu will experience an increase in Crit DMG of 20% from the LC.

Apart from that, when a teammate is hit by an attack or consumes HP, Jing Liu will get 1 layer of "Eclipse", which can be stacked in 3 layers, each layer of "Eclipse" will increase 14% DMG, so if you get 3 layers of "Eclipse" you will get 42% DMG upgrade.

After getting 3 layers of "Eclipse" apart from getting a DMG increase of 42%, the LC skill will also ignore the enemy's 12% DEF, but the effect of ignoring DEF will immediately be erased after Jing Liu launches an attack from 3 layers of "Eclipse" on the enemy.

On the Fall of an Aeon

This Light Cone is suitable for Jing Liu for those of you who didn't get the I Shall Be My Own Sword Light Cone. Light Cone On the Fall of an Aeon is the second LC option for Jing Liu.

Because if you look at the weapon's skills, it is still very suitable, where every time Jing Liu launches an attack, his ATK will increase by 8% during battle, this effect can be stacked up to 4 layers, which means it will increase his ATK by 32% ATK.

Apart from that, when Jing Liu causes Weakness Break on an enemy, it will increase 12% DMG for 2 turns, this skill is obtained from Light Cone On the Fall of an Aeon.

Something Irreplaceable

This Light Cone is suitable for Jing Liu, because it has the skill to increase the user's ATK 24%. When Jing Liu defeats an enemy target or is hit by an attack, the user's HP will immediately recover by 8% ATK

Apart from that, at the same time, Jing Liu's DMG will increase by 24% until the next turn ends, but this skill cannot be stacked and only triggers once per turn.

Therefore, we recommend this Light Cone in third position for Jing Liu, because judging from the explanation of the Light Cone skill above, there are some skills that are not suitable for Jing Liu, namely adding HP when defeating enemies.

4 and 3 Star Light Cone

We recommend 4 and 3 star Light Cones for Jing Liu's character, namely A Secret Vow and Collapsing Sky.

A Secret Vow

This Light Cone is very suitable for Jing Liu because it can be obtained for free via gacha for each banner or can also be purchased at Ember Exchange.

If you look at the weapon skill, Jing Liu will get a DMG increase of 20%, apart from that, the DMG caused by Jing Liu on enemy targets whose HP percentage is more than or equal to the user's current HP percentage will increase again by 20%.

We recommend that if you want to use Light Cone A Secret Vow, try to reach Superimpose 5, because the resulting DMG will increase from previously 20% to 40% DMG.

Because this LC is very easy to get via gacha or can be purchased at Ember Exchange if there is one every month.

Collapsing Sky

You can use this Light Cone when there is no other Light Cone option that we explained above or for those of you who are still beginners and have just gotten the Jing Liu character.

If you look at the skill of this weapon, it is very suitable for Jing Liu, namely increasing the user's 20% Basic Attack DMG and Skill DMG. The DMG skill here is really needed, because Jing Liu himself has the main priority of improving traces, namely from Jing Liu's skills.

We recommend that if you want to use Light Cone Collapsing Sky try to reach Superimpose 5, because the DMG generated from Basic ATK and User Skills was previously 20% to 40%.

Because this LC is very easy to get via gacha or can be purchased at Ember Exchange if there is one every month.

Relic, Planar and Rope Jing Liu recommends

The following is an explanation of the Relics that are suitable for Jing Liu, whether it is 4 Piece Relics, or using a combination of 2 Piece Relics. Check out the discussion below.

4 Piece Hunter of Glacial Forest

These 4 Pieces are very suitable for Jing Liu, because they can add 10% Ice DMG from the 2 Relic Pieces, while 4 Pieces will increase Crit DMG by 25% when casting Jing Liu's Ultimate for 2 turns.

2 Piece Glacial Forest and 2 Piece Musketeer

2 Piece Glacial Forest will increase Ice DMG 10% and 2 Piece Musketeer will increase Jing Liu's ATK 12%.

Therefore, this combination is very suitable for those of you who want Jing Liu's ATK and Ice DMG to increase together.

4 Piece Genius of Brilliant Stars

This relic is completely optional, because these 4 pieces of relic are only taken from the main stats, namely when the user causes DMG to an enemy target, the target's 10% DEF will be ignored. If the target has Quantum Weakness, then the amount of ignored DEF increases by another 10%.

If you want to use these 4 pieces of relic, it is very mandatory that the enemy has Weakness Quantum because in the main stats the relic will be active if there is Weakness Quantum, so it will ignore the enemy's 20% DEF if there is Weakness Quantum.

2 Piece Rutilant Arena

Planar and Rope are very suitable for Jing Liu, because they increase Jing Liu's Crit Rate by 8% and when Jing Liu's Crit Rate reaches 70% or more then Jing Liu's Basic ATK and DMG Skill will increase by 20%.

Because Jing Liu basically plays using trace skills as the main attack, Planar and Rope Rutilant Arena are very suitable for Jing Liu.

Main Stats and Subtats on Relic, Planar and Rope

Relic Main Stats:

• Head   : MOBILE PHONE
• Hands : ATK%
• Body    : Crit Rate/Crit DMG
• Feet     : SPD/ATK%

Planar and Rope:

• Planar : ATK%/Ice DMG Boost
• Ropes   : ATK%

Substates

For substats, you can look for what each relic has, namely Crit Rate, Crit DMG, SPD, and ATK%.

Trace Level Up Priority

Here are the Traces that you must increase as follows:

Transcendent Flash – Skill

You can raise your skills first to the highest level, because Jing Liu will focus on these skills to increase DMG
launched at the enemy.

Crescent Transmigration – Talent

Next, you can raise this talent to the highest level, because it can increase Jing Liu's Crit Rate and Base ATK. The higher the level of this talent, the higher Jing Liu's Crit Rate and Base ATK will be.

Florephemeral Dreamflux – Ultimate

Ultimate Jing Liu is an additional DMG that is launched on enemies and is very useful for adding layers to talent to increase attack power, therefore you can raise Ultimate Jing Liu to the highest level after the Skill and Talent are raised.

Lucent Moonglow – Basic ATK

You can increase Basic ATK as a last option because it only deals Ice DMG and increases the charge for Ultimate.
