Jingliu is a five-star Ice character who follows the Path of Destruction. She was once a renowned sword master in The Xianzhou Luofu and was responsible for training Jing Yuan before eventually succumbing to the effects of Mara. She functions as a hypercarry main DPS who relies on an optimized team to bring the most out of her damage-dealing capabilities. If you managed to pull her in the limited banner and plan to add her to your team, here's everything you need to know about how to build her.
Best Light Cones for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail
Below are all the best Light Cones for Jingliu in Honkai: Star Rail:
- I Shall Be My Own Sword (best-in-slot 5*) - Jingliu's signature Light Cone and her best-in-slot five-star option by a considerable margin, as the passive boost perfectly aligns with her kit.
- On the Fall of an Aeon (free 5*) - A free-to-play five-star option, purchasable from Herta's Store. It offers a large ATK buff and an additional DMG increase after applying Weakness Break to an enemy.
There are some decent four-star picks, such as Under the Blue Sky and A Secret Vow, but On the Fall of an Aeon offers a passive that's better aligned with Jingliu's kit on top of being completely free to get.

Best Relic Sets and Planar Ornaments for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail
Being a DPS unit, Jingliu's best-in-slot Relic Set is fairly straightforward. You can use either a four-piece set or two-piece combos with favorable bonuses. I recommend picking the option that nets you better substats.
- Four-piece Hunter of Glacial Forest - boosts Ice DMG and additionally increases CRIT DMG after unleashing an Ultimate.
- Two-piece combos
- Hunter of Glacial Forest - 10% Ice DMG
- Musketeer of Wild Wheat - 12% ATK
- Messenger Traversing Hackerspace - 6% SPD
Meanwhile, for Planar Ornaments, I recommend using the Rutilant Arena set:
- Rutilant Arena - increases CRIT Rate and further increases Basik ATK and Skill DMG when the wearer's CRIT Rate is 70% or above. This bonus is easy to achieve as Jingliu has a 40-50% CRIT Rate self-buff, which is triggered upon entering Spectral Transmigration.
Which stats should you boost on Jingliu?
Jingliu is an ATK-scaling DPS unit, so she's fairly simple to build with the following main stats:
- Body: CRIT DMG
- Feet: SPD
- Rope: ATK
- Sphere: Ice DMG
Keep in mind that Jingliu gets an additional 55% CRIT Rate from her default kit and Spectral Transmigration state. The 40% to 50% CRIT Rate (depending on Talent level) bonus won't appear in Jingliu's stat menu unless Spectral Transmigration is active, so make sure to calculate it separately.
With that said, focus on getting DPS substats: CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK, and some SPD.
Best Jingliu Team Comps in Honkai Star Rail
Jingliu functions as a hypercarry DPS, so she typically deals all the damage for her team and relies on supports to help her stay alive. Some key supports include:
- Abundance support - must-have for survivability, especially as Jingliu strips her allies' HP to trigger her Spectral Transmigration state. I highly recommend pairing your best healer with Jingliu.
- Preservation support - optional add-on if the healer isn't strong enough to carry the team's survivability.
- Harmony support (buffer) - a Harmony support is a must-have to support Jingliu, enabling her to deal more damage or rotate her skills faster.
Keep in mind that while in her Spectral Transmigration state, Jingliu consumes 4% of her allies' max HP to increase her ATK based on 540% of the allies' total max HP (180% of her base ATK max). This means your team (not including Jingliu) will need around 10,500 combined HP to maximize Jingliu's ATK buff.
