Background of Jean

Rarity	(5-Star Standard)
Element	Anemo
Weapon	Sword
Best Role	Healer / VV Support / Sunfire
Stat Priority	ER > ATK% > CRIT Rate (Favonius)
Tier	A (Universal Support)

Jean is the Acting Grand Master and a staple of the Standard Banner. She is a jack-of-all-trades: she heals instantly (Burst), shreds Resistance (VV Set), generates energy (Favonius), and can abuse physics to deal percentage-based Fall Damage to humanoid enemies.

Pros

Instant teamwide healing (Furina's best friend).
Can cleanse debuffs on self (Sunfire).
Abuses Fall Damage in Abyss (Yeet mechanic).
C4 shreds Anemo RES (Best Xiao/Wanderer support).
Easy to build (ATK scaling).

Cons

Pushback on Skill/Charged Attack can be annoying.
High Energy Cost (80) requires ER investment.
Circle Impact (Burst field is stationary).
Lower crowd control than Kazuha/Venti.

Quick Guide (TL;DR)

If you don't have time for the math, here is the cheat sheet.

Best Artifact: 4pc Viridescent Venerer (Mandatory).
Alt Artifact: 4pc Noblesse Oblige (If another Anemo has VV).
Best Weapon: Favonius Sword (Team Battery - BiS).
F2P Weapon: Amenoma Kageuchi (ATK & Energy Refund).
Sunfire Weapon: Freedom-Sworn or Xiphos' Moonlight (EM).
Main Stats: SANDS: ER% or ATK% | GOBLET: ATK% or Anemo | CIRCLET: Healing Bonus or CRIT.
Talent Priority: Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack (Ignore).
Top Team: Jean + Furina + Neuvillette/Wriothesley + Flex.

Pro Tip: The Yeet: Hold E to pick up small enemies. Aim high into the air and release. They will take massive Fall Damage relative to their max HP. You can also pull them down (Charged Attack) and hold E to slam them into the floor for double fall damage.

Ascension & Talent Materials

Category	Material Name	Source
Ascension	Dandelion Seed	Mondstadt Gates (Requires Anemo)
Boss Drop	Hurricane Seed	Anemo Hypostasis (Mondstadt)
Talent Books	Teachings of Resistance	Forsaken Rift (Tue/Fri/Sun)

Talent Breakdown & Mechanics

Elemental Skill: Gale Blade

The Yeet: Holding E pulls small enemies into a whirlwind. Aiming up launches them.
Particles: Generates 2-3 particles. Short cooldown (6s). Good for quick swapping.
Fall Damage: Enemies take % HP damage when hitting the floor. Against Abyss Mages or Fatui Agents, this can deal 50k-100k "white damage" regardless of your stats.

Elemental Burst: Dandelion Breeze

Cost: 80 Energy | Cooldown: 20s
Healing: Instantly heals the entire party for a massive amount (ATK scaling). Then creates a Dandelion Field.
Self-Swirl (Sunfire): The field applies Anemo to characters inside it. If you have Bennett's circle (which applies Pyro to self), Jean will constantly Swirl Pyro off you and onto nearby enemies. This pulsing Pyro Swirl deals massive reaction damage.

Passive: Wind Companion

Normal Attack Heal: Normal attacks have a 50% chance to heal the party. Minor, but nice for co-op or emergency top-ups.

Talent Priority Order:

Elemental Burst (Level 9) - For stronger healing.
Elemental Skill (Level 8) - For damage.
Normal Attack (Level 1) - Ignore.

Stat Requirements & ER Thresholds

Jean heals based on ATK, but her Burst costs 80. ER is the priority until comfortable.

Team Context	Weapon	ER Requirement
Solo Anemo (Furina Team)	Favonius Sword	180% - 200%
Double Anemo (Xiao/Wanderer)	Any	140% - 160%
Sunfire (Raiden Team)	Iron Sting/Freedom	160% (Raiden battery)

Substat Priority:

Energy Recharge (Until requirement met)
ATK% (Increases Healing and Damage)
CRIT Rate (Required for Favonius Sword)
Elemental Mastery (Only for Sunfire builds)

Best Artifacts Comparison

Set Name	Role	Reasoning
4pc Viridescent Venerer	BiS General	Provides 40% RES Shred. Mandatory if running her with Hydro/Pyro/Electro/Cryo DPS.
4pc Noblesse Oblige	Anemo Support	Best if supporting Xiao/Scara (who don't need VV shred). Buffs their ATK.
4pc Ocean-Hued Clam	Pure Healer	If you don't care about shred and just want damage from healing. Viable but usually VV is better for team dps.

Weapon Rankings

Weapon	Type	Performance	Notes
Favonius Sword	ER%	S+	Best general weapon. Solves her energy and batteries the team. Requires Crit Rate circlet.
Amenoma Kageuchi	ATK%	S	Craftable. High ATK boosts healing significantly. Passive refunds energy. Great non-Favonius option.
Freedom-Sworn	EM	A (Sunfire)	Only use for Sunfire teams where Jean triggers reactions. The passive buffs the team.
Skyward Blade	ER%	A	High Base ATK (healing) + ER. Solid stat stick if you have it lying around.

Constellation Value

Jean has some of the best Standard Banner constellations.

C2: People's Aegis - (Speed) When Jean picks up an orb, Party Move/ATK Speed increased by 15% for 15s. Excellent for Ayato/Yoimiya/Raiden.
C4: Lands of Dandelion - (Anemo Shred) Enemies within Burst field have Anemo RES decreased by 40%. This makes her the BEST support for Xiao, Wanderer, and Heizou. Rare effect.
C6: Lion's Fang - (Tank) Reduces DMG received by 35% within field. Can make your team nearly invincible combined with other DR sources (Xingqiu).

Verdict: C2 is great utility. C4 is a game-changer for Anemo mains.

Top Team Compositions

1. Sunfire (Vape/Melt Enabler)

Core: Jean + Bennett
Carry: Raiden / Ganyu / Ayato
Flex: Xingqiu / Yelan

Why it works: Standing in Bennett's Q + Jean's Q causes Jean to continuously swirl Pyro off your own character onto enemies nearby. This pulses Pyro damage rapidly (Sunfire), enabling Melts/Vapes and shredding shields.

2. Furina Healer

Main DPS: Neuvillette / Wriothesley / Raiden
Buffer: Furina
Healer: Jean (VV)
Flex: Zhongli / Fischl

Why it works: Furina drains team HP. Jean's burst heals the entire team to full instantly. This immediately maxes out Furina's "Fanfare" stacks, giving your team a massive damage boost.

Rotations & Combos

Standard Support Rotation:
Element Applier > Jean E (Swirl) > Jean Q (Heal) > Main DPS

Tip: If using Favonius Sword, do a Normal Attack after E to trigger a Crit and generate particles if the E didn't crit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jean vs. Xianyun?
Xianyun is better for Plunge teams (Xiao/Gaming) and exploration. Jean is better for "Sunfire" interactions, C4 Anemo shred, and simpler burst healing.

Should I build EM on Jean?
Only for Sunfire teams (Jean+Bennett) where she triggers Overloads/Vapes. For general healing/support, build ATK/Crit/ER.
