By the power of the “Erudition” Path, his abilities are stacked up to deal with AoE damage on the battlefield. He is currently the featured character in the limited banner, so players who want a powerful Lightning DPS should consider pulling for him.

On the contrary, it is natural for those who have Jing Yuan to wonder about his best team setups to use against some of the tougher enemies. Since his abilities are designed to deal massive damage during combat, he can be paired with most of the support characters in the game.

5 of Jing Yuan’s best teams to use in Honkai Star Rail

1) Premium team

As an Erudition character, Jing Yuan can inflict massive AoE damage during combat. When paired with other 5-star units that are inherently stronger, his potential soars through the roof. His best support will be Bronya, who can put him through an extra turn to help him build more stack for the Lightning Lord. Additionally, she provides damage boosts that can help him take down multiple enemies with ease.

On the remaining slots, Jing Yuan will require Gepard for shields, alongside Bailu for some extra healing for survival. Considering how most players will not have access to these characters without spending real money, the setup is deemed as premium.


2) 4-star team

For a more accessible Jing Yun team, one can use Tingyun as his buffer instead of Bronya. She is currently available on the Honkai Star Rail’s limited-time banner, so it is advisable to pick her up. As a harmony character, she can buff his damage and recharge his ultimate, which are two of the most useful bonuses required in a turn-based RPG.

For survival, players can equip Fire Trailblazer to fulfill the role of a tank, along with Natasha as a healer.


3) Glass-cannon team

To be a complete glass-cannon unit, Jing-Yuan has to inflict the maximum amount of damage by sacrificing his defensive strength. Hence, in this particular setup, he will be backed up by Bronya and Tingyun’s buffs to pull off massive damage numbers onto the enemy. Both of them are Honkai Star Rail’s meta supports that can assist him across every combat turn.

That said, this team will require a well-built healer to keep everyone alive from enemy attacks. Thus, players should gear up Bailu to fill in the last spot in this team composition.


4) SPD team

SPD is an important attribute in Honkai Star Rail as it directly influences the ally’s turn throughout the combat. Jing Yuan’s turn can also be sped up using Asta’s ultimate, allowing him to gain an additional turn to collect more Lightning Lord stacks. Welt should also be used in this setup to slow down enemies delaying their turns for several consecutive rounds.

Finally, Bailu or Natasha will suffice for the fourth spot as long as they are built with sufficient HP and Energy Regeneration to heal up the entire team frequently.


5) Sub-DPS team

With massive AoE Lightning abilities, Jing Yuan can be an excellent sub-DPS across multiple team compositions. His notable pair will be Seele as the main damage dealer, alongside other support characters. She can take down Elite enemies, while our Arbiter General can tear down multiple small mobs spawned during combat.

For support, consider picking up a healer, such as Natasha, along with Bronya, to boost up their damage numbers. Alternatively, the buffer can be swapped with Fire Trailblazer or Gepard for more survivability.


This wraps up the best team setup for Jing Yuan, that uses his damage potential to clear out Honkai Star Rail’s end-game content.
