Complete JINHSI Breakdown & Guide - Playstyle, Builds, Teams & more | Wuthering Waves 1.1

[@koelee]

This was easily the best early guide for Jinhsi on KZbin, you explained everything so clearly and went in depth in all the important areas, thank you!!

[@FlyingPancake0390]

This is the clearest, most straightforward explanation of her rotation and how her stacking mechanic works - had no idea it was two different "layers" that were being considered independently. We don't have a ton of options right now, but if she can perform like this without "ideal" candidates on her team, her future will be bright as better units to support her come out.

[@sweatdropss]

jinhsi’s gacha animation is the most real thing, based intro

[@blaze5970]

Really good video. Her kit felt kinda complex. This was a very good breakdown! Subbed ❤❤

[@redcloud7447]

Amazing video as always man. Thanks for the detailed guide and clear explanations. Just pulled her and her signature (won the 50/50 finally!) and she's such a blast to play.

[@mouradsofian1724]

literally EXCELLENT guide. i am so happy i stumbled upon your channel. subbed and i will always follow your guides.i hope you succeed more in you channel you deserve it.

[@Lucisev_]

Awesome guide. I'm already subbed though. 😂 Hope you get a lot of views.

[@bakk3731]

this video is very well put together, very easy to understand with the graphics

[@saladslug7432]

I want to cry I rerolled 15 times to get a good account with a weapon for yinlin and then got her because her playstyle was so fancy and fun. I'm a sucker for good animation. Now Jinshi has absolutely blown me away because I thought she'd be close combat due to being a sword user so I was planning on skipping her T . T

[@Benalecjohn]

That's tough man, hope you get her eventually

Amazing guide

[@vjaay6748]

another very informative video, thanks aj

[@singhVarunVikram]

@alec john, you initially said her skill damage does a lot more than her resonance liberation and later at 10:06 you say her main damage comes from forte and resonance liberation. So which is the main damage ? skill or resonance liberation ?

[@Benalecjohn]

Her main damage TYPE is Skill DMG (important for weapon choice and substat priority). However the ABILITIES that decide 90% of your dmg output are Forte and Liberation :) The "Resonance Skill" ability only influences the damage of Skill 1 (never used) and 2. Skill 3, 4, and enhanced basic attacks all scale with Forte

[@ShepardCommander]

flat attack value should be on par with skill dmg % (they really should double/triple the values of skill/basic/liberation for them to be even worth considering)

[@o.m.hayfields5757]

Tambourinist can offer coordinated attacks for units that lack it.

[@huyvu5014]

Honestly, insane guide

[@hazeysgarden]

I haven’t decided if I want jinhsi or changli or neither. I guess I’m just going to wait until I feel a strong urge to pull like I did for Yinlin.

[@TheKairos2011]

Do the story, then Changli will pull you closer. How can you say no to that? Don't worry about fomo if no Jinshi bruh. Same here with me.

[@hazeysgarden]

@@TheKairos2011 I was already leaning toward changli bc waifu reasons and I heard she’s a fusion buffer who could pair well with Encore. So maybe the story will make me want to get her. What I really need though is an electro DPS that pairs well with Yinlin and I don’t have Calcharo, I also don’t know if I like Calcharo’s play style.

[@jirapart555]

Havoc typo at Echo options bro

[@vjaay6748]

I tried mortefi liberation with her's incarnation state and it seems to not proc Edit: It's because my mortefi is S0, just noticed it

[@Desticy]

0:35 so if her intro is teh best in the game and they wasted a big trace just to boost her intro skill, why is it only contributing 3% of the total dmg in a rotation. And why are you suggesting to not level it? Did they jsut waste an entire big trace for a meaningless buff to intro skill of her? Am I misunderstanding something?

[@Benalecjohn]

That's been a common complaint on CN as well. Her intro is stronger than others, and you use it more frequently than on other units too, but at the end of the day it's still "just" an intro (in terms of raw dmg). I think as a whole she has a very balanced kit though and feels great to play!

[@Desticy]

@@Benalecjohn I see thats really unfortunate, I was hoping it would at least influence the toughness bar dmg she deals to bosses or smth but yea. She has a ton of dmg pumped into numbers but that trace could have been a 10% crit on intro skill or smth...

[@АнатолийКнязьков-р6я]

You said that the time spend on other characters is the time when you are not doing dmg with her, so what are we talking about in turm os field time? Yinling take 7-10 sec to do a full rotation, this pattern will have to go for something shorter? Also why no mention of SenHua or what ever that ice chick name? She feels her concerto instanly O_O

[@Benalecjohn]

Did mention sanhua in the teams section! Yes Yinlin still requires some field time as opposed to yuanwu who can just pillar and dip, so your yinlin should be built well enough that she can pull her own weight, otherwise she's not worth the field time IMHO

[@phoenix0278]

Is she f2p friendly btw?

[@Bullminator]

Depends on your luck. I got her and weapon with 13000 asterites as free to play. (did have to use some shop dust for weapon)

[@heroesnvillains]

u pretend on doing a jiyan guide before changli half hits? just to keep the 1 video for each limited character pattern, ur guides are too good to be true 😭

[@apairofsteeltoedboots4729]

I lost the 50/50 for Verina on my first 10 pull

[@GGONZ25]

bro please do a video like this for jiyan

[@novian1452]

what about havoc rover? does they also give havoc stacks?

[@Benalecjohn]

Yes

[@nagasolaire8462]

I mean you say that taoqi is slow, but it takes more time for yiinlin to put her marks on an enemy because you need to full her forte first

[@Benalecjohn]

True! But Yinlin "makes up" for it with her coordinated lightning attacks, resulting in much more stacks for Jinhsi. Have you been playing her with Taoqi?

[@sorakey4005]

ngl they should have increase the stack on normal hit, not on cord hit, now she is so rely on cord that even taoqi surpose to be good here is not that good with her

[@ikomangyoga6401]

im planning jinshi, taoqi, yuan wu is that good?

[@Benalecjohn]

Yuanwu definitely, Taoqi I have no experience with yet! Let me know if it works out

[@happygolucky555]

Guess now I'll shift my verina to my jinhsi squad and my jianxin to my calcharo squad. Bye jiyan for now since the new TOA is both electro and spectro. I refuse to waste resources on Baizhi

[@doctordiemind]

This is top tier stuff. Subscribed with notifications on. You are by far the most comprehensive guidemaker I have come across yet. Keep it up!

[@xanthee_imr]

You are goated bro, fast and precise research, no flashy takes or promises, exposing what you were able to fact check and try out while being honest on what needs more research leaving room for future discoveries. Best WuWa channel I know

[@LV-yt7vl]

Nice vid! 44111 easy to farm, i have S1 R1 jinshi

[@smexxxxy]

This answers a lot of questions. Very helpful.

[@infinitybelt]

Sooo I'm dropping Calcharo and keeping Verina and Yinlin for my Jinshi team eh? Curious, does Yinlin have to run Moonlit set fir that comp... Or is Void still fine and she doesnt need to worry about Heron buff? Sad that Sanhua doesn't pair well with her overall needs.

[@Vult_Ira317]

It was a Mistake for me to do 102 pulls for Jinhsi and Where's my luck ZERO lost the 50/50 to Verina. I'm gonna grind the new map see if Changli is possible her playstyle so fluid.

[@alex-ci1vg]

i finally understand her kit, you explained it very well especially the part with coordinated attacks/different elements! can't wait for the rotation guide 🙏

[@loutsigkos9864]

The guide was amazing!!! Most defenently the best jinhsi guide ive ever seen, thanks a lot for the energy recharge numbers and for the teams since thats what i was worried about especially the teams since no one gave clear answers. Your videos are amazing and i will sub!!! Continue the amazing work❤

[@Shamanking-bk5sd]

OH THANK GAWD!!!! Alec is BACK! Dude I swore for real that you'd stop making WuWa vids. Please at least keep in touch with like the youtube community section, cause the videos you make are just that informative, even if we don't pull for the character in the video. Edit: Just go through watching this and thank gawd that Verina can be used with her and I don't have to pull a Taoqi just for her best teams!

[@BabaYaga0713]

PSA if building Jinhsi : Have yall noticed that the lightcrusher only drops with Spectro set? So I think if looking for spectro 3cost atk%\spectro dmg it’s good to keep the lightcrushers on mt firmament alive while farming in base map and target them each time your pity is built up, since it removes a layer of rng. Kind of meaningless if you already have an almost perfect Lightcrusher already, but who has that anyways lol

[@HeliumHe]

Answered quite a lot of my questions and theories. Thank you. One thing I am not yet clear from your video is that, when Jinhsi is not on field, how fast does two teammate contributes with stacks, and furthermore, when Jinhsi is swapped out, does Spectro damage lingered from Jue echo counted as 1 Spectro or 3 Spectro+Coordinated stacks. If latter, there could be a way to make Taoqi works, but requires quite high amount of Discord copies + S5 to reduce Taoqi's rotation to at least 5-6 sec (normally, with perfect 3 hit combo for concerto, she requires around 7 sec to send outro). You really, really need Yinlin to be the other member in this case to keep punishing mark on at all times. If not, I can also vouch that Taoqi will not be too helpful and will make charge stacking for Jinhsi's forte longer than it should. Might as well use Sanhua to go back and forth between her and Yinlin for extra damage to stun gauge and potentially yield better result due to Sanhua's damage being higher (and with somewhat party utility at S6).

[@Benalecjohn]

Hello! Jue's DoT can only generate 1 stack per second. No echo to date has "coordinated attacks". As for exactly how many stacks you can expect to stack with coordinated attacks from teammates, this depends on the team, but for Verina Yinlin I can currently say thay you average around 40 stacks per rotation. You can reach 50 when both verina ultimate and yinlin lighting are active, but verinas ultimate has only 50% uptime max (due to its cooldown), so don't expect 50 every turn

[@HeliumHe]

@@Benalecjohn Thanks again for the verification. It is as many feared then. I may do some test on my own tonight (Has Discord R1 and Taoqi S5) just to see how slow it is and how many stack less compared to standard tri-duo elemental coordinated team. Would be good to settle the theory once and for all. Though with these information I am almost certain that Quick rotation for more Skill 4 uses > Use Taoqi which means less Skill 4 use with +38% deepening but clunky rotation ...

[@sassysushiroll]

bro you explained everything so well, I watched multiple jinhsi guides but this one has been the best one at making me understand her. keep up the great work!

[@bloobamboo]

watching you air juggle that poor spectro rock ball thing was so satisfying and perfect for showcasing the combos and skill animations! also great job on the video, was easy to understand with appropriate pacing

[@TheRedRationalist]

This guide is immaculate. Good stuff dude.

[@arypramana6154]

does echo damage count as different element type for jinshi's forte?

[@Benalecjohn]

Echo dmg is excluded from generating stacks, Jue and Mech Abomination are special because they deal Skill DMG/Outro DMG respectively

[@xerduke1512]

So, is Baizhi S4 better than Verina for this team?

[@Benalecjohn]

Verina still has the edge in rotation speed, but yes Baizhi is totally viable and generates at least 12 stacks per ultimate, 18 stacks if at S4

[@Soundwave1900]

Overall - no. More stacks - yes. Also no if you can't consistently get verina's ult. I, for once, can't, even with 200 er.

Re: Rotation - If you have her weapon/S1 won't you want to us BA1-4 earlier than Skill 3?

Order doesn't matter here, neither for s1 nor for weapon. S1 will only proc on skill 4 :)

[@Accentors]

should we get her weapon or c1 dope?

Weapon over dupe, but if you have another 5 star broadblade already, it's quite close in terms of value. So if you have enough for a Waveband from the shop, good option imo

[@jamahldavis5078]

Between mortife and yaunwu which one is better to pair with

[@Benalecjohn]

I haven't tested mortefi yet but I can say yuanwu works really well!!

[@iz893]

I am sure Jinshi can utilise autmntrace's passive as before using her skill you need to do basic attack dmg to unleash her first faze of her skill and yes lustrous razor is a good weapon, but I don't think it beats the autumntrace as its passive increases her burst not her skill, and she gains more skill dmg than burst dmg as she is a character who uses their skill for their main source of dmg output, and some increased atk can help, also since its main stat is crit rate, people can focus on crit dmg. So I personally dont think lustrous razor is better compared to the autumntrace. If we are comparing which is more affordable in relation to which is easier to get then lustrous razor wins but their are other weapons that are way better then that, like the sword and catalyst. Also don't forget some of the 4 star weapons can beat the 5 star weapons.

[@Benalecjohn]

Hi, yes you can make the passive work by doing basic attacks on the ground before entering Incarnation. If you do an Intro rotation though you go straight into Incarnation and won't be able to gain any weapon stacks

I’d like to ask how S2 should affect her teams rotations/builds in general. Because it provides max stacks extremely quickly would it not be a better idea to just use 1 teammate like baizu? I’d prefer to save yinlin for calcaro.

[@Benalecjohn]

S2 only works on the first rotation in the tower. After that you still have to stack your gauge the normal way. You can use Yuanwu or Mortefi instead of Yinlin

A 44 3 11 is a lot stronger for casual players as they get excessive ammounts of crit from this combo. It is much easier to get a usable ammount of crit rate. They are unlikely to have a maxed out crit rate weapon and unlikely to have crit/crit on all artifacts. I really recommend people to go for double 4 cost crit first and then move on to perfect sets later. Bad 4 33 11 is FAR inferior. Especially as perfect 3 costs takes a while to get (less than 1 in 100 artifacts for a good one, this means you will get like 1-2 per month tops if the focus is this char).
