One thing that bug me about JingYuan is that his ult animation have him looking down while flying up meaning the enemy is below him, but the slash is UPWARD. Edit: A lot of people in the reply said that it's due to camera angle that LL seem to swing upward. That's kinda beside the point because if that's so, it would still be bad choreography. Imagine Himeko ult, during the close up shot of the satellite, the camera is placed so that the laser is pointed to the top of the screen instead of the bottom.

[@kibathefang6022]

By getting Sparkle I was able to always max LL, with skill points also not being much a problem. That speed increase and skill points really changed a lot.

[@KuniKu-y6x]

I personally love Jing Yuan (I even have a banner of him in my room) and I got him when he first released as well as his light cone seeing how much he has gotten buffed makes me really happy to see. I do also have Dan Heng IL as well as Blade so yeah we got the trauma trio all together the best friends 😘

[@jacoryarnett7347]

Having E1 Fu Xuan, E1 Sparkle and E6 Tingyun on my side. My E1 Jing Yuan is a powerhouse in all content in hsr.

[@skylerfreeman1173]

I don't get it. You put those supports and insert any carry dps.. They're gonna be fine lol. I never understood the jing yuan hate , the game is too easy as is 😂 hypercarry just destroys everything cause supports are busted:)

[@dynomite463]

OUR GENERAL KING YUANNNNNN

[@RRDerps]

I remember seeing his gameplay from the testing servers a day before official release and just decided to wait for him when the game dropped, skipping seele. Meant to go for e0s1, but kept going for tingyun and ended up with e1s1- Everything afterwards was either coping or hoping for him to be a respectable character

[@vifurawa2715]

I pulled for him in 1.0, got his LC in his recent rerun, as well as Huohuo, Ruan Mei and Sparkle... Next is Aventurine, mostly because he's hot, but that's another piece added to Jing Yuan's support harem. No matter the slander, he'll be my favorite character. My dedication to the general is enough that I cosplayed him 😂

[@eri_sister_of_aerial]

Nice Generation 5 Pokemon music used and iirc its Pinwheel Forest

[@thatoneguywhoseverywhere6978]

Jing yuan is definitely the most fun for me atleast. I like planning and clearing trash mobs with jing's ult and skill then watch lightning lord crash down hard and break the enemy

[@Desirable_Red]

Jingyuan was my first limited 5 star when i was new and his play style really amazed me and gotten me more into playing. Always going be my most used dps (besides Argenti). I never will regretted pulling him because im not a meta slave lol. I’m pretty glad he can still work well with new characters as time goes.

[@IdeasAreBulletproof]

I joined HSR during His Initial banner and I skipped him for SW cuz SW was the first Character of this Game that caught my interests from seeing her in the Beginning of the Game. (If I did factor him into my Pulls I would have most likely Enjoyed him despite all the Mid Yuan crap going on. He had his problems then and they got solved overtime. I got him on the Rerun after I got Sparkle and I am Enjoying him a lot. (I'm not factoring him in to my thoughts on Acheron cuz I pick up characters that I think I'll have fun with. (it's more playstyle related why I am thinking of Skipping Acheron right now) as my account is at a point where I can just have fun Picking up any unit I want or saving to do some vertical Investment into a unit I really like. His performance might not be top of the meta but he is no where near Mid (My definition of mid would be a unit like Arlant, Physical MC, or Natasha.)

[@MayaSunfower]

"will acheron be better?" that aged like sour milk

[@itsalex1364]

LOOOOOOOOOOL

[@Bos_Meong]

proceed to break the game 😂

[@zzzz-ds4dg]

Why we need to pull or play him if we have better lighting DPS unit like Kafka and Acheron 😂😂😂 trash yuan is still worse 5star lightning dps

[@Verko_A]

we all know the most buffed character is actually Qingque

[@ArashiTheOwl]

Funny enough. i was not aware of any of this. nothing about the sittuation with Jing Yuan, as i have not pulled him. BUT. i did pull E1S1 Topaz- and she is my most valuable and loved character S2 so now im considering getting Jing Yuan to keep her company lol

[@undefind3426]

Got him day 1 of his banner and never looked back

[@octavia3667]

Ah yes, my favourite Quantum Dps: Seal 🙃

[@syncdive]

he was the reason i started playing the game. first i was happy with him, and then destruction trio meta rolled around, i pulled all of them and i barely used him. then sparkle came out and now i love him again

[@thomasnguyen4427]

9:00 wtf I was not expecting this troll clip to come out of nowhere like a jumpscare. FanCanon’s have never not been the highest order of internet inoculation.

[@phucqwerty6482]

It is furstrating when lord is about to attack and the enemy just casually stun JY

[@itoobiased]

Jing Yuan: Say my name, say it. I'd call him Yuan instead if you really want to think that his name is broken into first and last names. In Asian languages, given name comes last.

[@machiafeline]

I'm a jingyuan absolute lover, cause back then I wasn't much of a meta person. I had my tingyun at e6 cause she kept coming home somehow and used the fire trailblazer on the same team with JY so he wont get hit and it works just fine, like he doesn't really need all the meta supports like ruanmei or fuxuan unless you really seek to give him max max max optimal build - which as a casual player, just not something I'm doing lol. I pulled sparkle for qingque cause I didn't think my JY team has skill point issue, but I realized that sparkle did him a huge buff so now he's much better and still doesn't get hit despite not having fire MC anymore in the team cause Sparkle seems to get hit more lol..

[@marqkc]

Funny you mention E1 Topaz, I got Jing Yuan thinking "yeah he's mid but he's MY mid man and that's what matters" I originally pulled for Guinaifen (pfp makes it kinda obvious) on Topaz banner. I was on vacation trying to one copy of Guinaifen and ended up with not one, but TWO copies of Topaz (one at around 40-ish pity, the second at 50-ish). To make things even better, I managed to get an early Argenti afterwards (what can I say other than Erudition men got me on my knees) for my 2nd team and then, somehow in some way, managed to get a 4 pity Ruan Mei. Recently I managed to win the 75:25 for Jing Yuan's LC too. Needless to say, HSR dev team saw my dedication to using Elation in every SU run and handed me out the Jing Yuan/Topaz team for free (well minus the HuoHuo/Fu Xuan, I stick to Luocha because he's a pretty man. om)

[@kelvindarctrius9737]

I managed to get him early in his first banner when I was trying to get Sushang and Tingyun eidolon, back then I felt lucky but after that Destruction chars come, but glad he's getting better now. 😅

[@Be727z]

Pulled Jing Yuan on launch, then pulled Sparkle and his lightcone recently :) He's so, so fun. I'm not that good at HSR, don't clear moc, don't have good relics... But honestly? Compared to my genshin account which can clear abyss at least 30 stars every cycle, I'm way more happy with my star rail one. In genshin all my favorites are dpses, so I don't have many supports and my teams are pretty limited.. But in star rail? I'm rocking with my Jing yuan + lightcone, and Ratio + lightcone, as my only two dpses, and then having fun with Sparkle + her lightcone, Silverwolf, and Ruan Mei. It's so much more fun and so easy to make good teams. Going for Luocha and Fu Xuan next - they're defo my faves.

[@plaguenplay3516]

I love Jingyuan's personality and the SMUG (aka that one roblox face), but I can't tell whether or not I see myself pulling for him any time soon

[@piersantobua9273]

I like how both jing yuan and cyno are characters voiced by the same person and both of them at release were bad and then after some time they got good buffs

[@okcool4585]

If Jade's kit turns out to be true, he is going to unlock his full potential and become very good with her.

[@finleymorris04]

I’m really tempted to pull for him. I currently have ~60 pity with guaranteed and over 100 wishes. I have Sparkle and Tingyun and I have Lynx or Bailu as a healer. It’d be a perfect pull. HOWEVER, Jingliu and Luocha are coming up next patch and they both interest me, and I am determined to get Silver Wolf and Kafka when they next come around. Should I get him?

[@YeetusCletusDeletusmyFetus]

Jing Yuan was just really fun to play for me, and my team was complete once I got Bronya. I've stuck with him ever since he came out and only just a few weeks ago did I finally get his light cone (I was running Himeko's lc s2), then farmed his new relic set. I love the fella. Tbh one of the main reasons I got him was the meme back then that his jp vc was Jojo. Glad I can just kinda chill with a few chars instead of having to get a new one for meta every like 3 patches Until I got Jingliu and built her, he was the only dps I really used (team is fire mc, bailu, jing, and bronya, and I love ma lance Boi as well). I also got IL, but ironically despite my hype for him, I've to this day not finished building him and haven't really used him in a proper comp lol

[@SumGuyWithNoLIfe]

When I got Jing Yuan I was happy but then was deeply depressed when he got power out creeped by so many other 5 stars. So glad they buffed him to make him usable and much better.

[@Lukz243]

even though he is my most regrettable pull, I could make him work And yeah, him receiving some indirect buff made him a lot better.

[@caelussss]

I have technically benched my E0S1 Jing Yuan, but I'll never forget the hardwork he's done for me during the days where he's my only 5* Limited Banner DPS Character I had. I salute you, General. I'll let you rest after carrying me on your back for too long.

[@comrademao8161]

Why is lil bro allergic to saying Jing Yuan? 💀💀💀😭😭😭

[@jonesOtr]

following the last few harmony characters, i have a feeling Robin will be a game changer for Jing, its time for follow up attack teams to get the love that DOT teams have been getting the last few months. adventurine and Robin being follow up support characters could really make a hyper carry follow up team stable

[@frostcrm]

I got E2 on his first banner because i was trying to get tingyun with a couple of eidolans and my luck in the first few patches was cracked.

[@wini8626]

love the pokemon background music tho

[@eveeermartin3658]

Still using him because he's my first ever 5* limited and i love his design. He's e2 but no signature lc since i get sparkle also for him. I'm still satisfied with my JY but still waiting for his comeback as a decent erudition damage dealer again. ♥

[@K-Sha1]

I've done this song and dance in multiple places before so, tl;dr: At the beginning I wasn't interested in Seele and I originally wanted to save, but I needed a hypercarry to push my account's progress and Jing Yuan was that guy. He passed with flying colors, and continues to pass with the addition of Sparkle and his LC even while my options diversify to Kafka teams, Clara, Argenti, Qingque, etc. He continues to be a mainstay on my account, because my man is just goated like that.

[@johnchristopherjimenez7736]

For me i still love him since the day i choose him. Than seele i never regret to choose him his design his playstyle for me its 👌👌👌 now i will pull my second lightning characters soon Acheron

[@donniel1403]

Im surprised you didnt mention Lynx when you mentioned Hanya a bit too. I felt she was a nice F2P addition. At least for me, an upgrade for Nat at the very least. As much as i really did like Fu Xian as a character, i remember i was saving then since i lost my 5050s on JY and DHIL pulls and had to go to pity 2x. Afterwards i was just saving for JY LC for the longest time and was upset every patch he didnt come back lmao, im good tho i got it on rerun 😊 Anw, i stuck with my e6 TY and Asta and eventually, Lynx joined my roster. Never got any of the other 5* supp cos i lived pulling for my husbandos whc i of course dont regret! I really did like the video tho dont get me wrong, any praise the General gets is healing after all! I do have to go back to relics hell for the duke set tho aaaaaah _(:з」∠)_

[@SoggySub]

I'm so unbelievably sad that i missed sparkle. I need her for both my jing and dan heng and the fact i missed her will haunt me for a while.

[@SoggySub]

seele too! no mono-quantum for me

[@Arsha136]

I'm thinking of future support that will active FUA on their turn For example, Skill debuff enemy/enemies take more FUA damage, Ult will active all allies' FUA on target and recharge energy on their FUA/Allies' FUA. Imagine the whole team go off at once in sequence. I took the reference of Neostone Agent from Summoners war.
