Yun Jin is an off-field support with very little benefit outside of buffingthe Normal Attacks of whoever is on-field while her buff is active. This mayseem quite limiting, but it actually opens her up as an excellent option forcertain builds and characters. This buff is based on her DEF stat andis amplified through her 4th Ascension so we do not have a high investmentcost to setting her up as a support.

The buff comes from her Elemental Burst Cliffbreaker's Bannerand is the primary reason to add her to any team composition. Thebuff lasts for 30 strikes so some characters are going to finish itquickly, where as a Claymore user might finish slower.

Her weapon selection is straightforward with her best 5-star weapon being Engulfing Lightning simply due to the bonusEnergy Recharge available on the weapon and through theweapon's skill. Almost equally as good is the Favonius Lance also dueto Energy Recharge and bonus particle generation. Lastly, we have includedthe Kitain Cross Spear for its particle generation that can occuroff-field. With each weapon we pay little attention to its damage stats anduse this gear slot to add as much Energy Recharge as we can. Yun Jin's EnergyRecharge should be as high as possible when not paired with otherGeo characters aiming for 220% - 250%. When paired withanother Geo character, 150 - 200% Energy Recharge is required.

As for her Artifacts, we can focus on a single set to get everything we want. Husk of Opulent Dreams is that set. Not only does it stack DEF as abonus, but its 4-piece bonus will increase that DEF bonus further whileoff-field. This allows us to swap her onto the field, and use her burst withthe maximum benefit already to go. An argument could be made for using 2-pieceset bonuses rather than a 4-piece. We have given some of those options aswell.

There is very little to know about using Yun Jin as a pure supportcharacter. We simply line up our buffs for our main DPS and then bring Yun Jinon the field for her Elemental Burst Cliffbreaker's Banner.Afterwards, swap back to your main DPS to use their buffed Normal Attacks.There is not much more to know about her Elemental Burst.

Yun Jin's Elemental Skill, Opening Flourish, has acouple of variations depending on how you use it.

1. A simple press unleashes a Geo attack.
2. Hold and charge the skill to Level 1, then release. This method generatesEnergy for your team after being held for just over one second thenreleased.
3. Hold and charge to Level 2, then release. This is method will maximize yourparticle generation and also provide a limited shield for her. However, it hasa longer casting time of 2.5 seconds. This can be used to block a strongincoming attack you cannot get away from, but the high cast time takes awayfrom it being used as an emergency shield. You have to plan for it, which makesit somewhat useless in intense fighting.
4. Parring an attack. Yun Jin's 1st Ascension passive grants her the abilityto instantly release a level 2 charge if she uses her Elemental Skill at theexact moment she gets hit. Very much like you would parry an attack in anaction game. This is by far the best variation of her skill, but it takes someskill and timing to perfect it, with some players saying it is impossible unlessyou have a good connection.

Overall, if you simply focus on using her Elemental Burst and keep herEnergy Recharge as high as you can she can be a fantastic buff for characterswho focus on Normal attacks as their primary source of damage.

Yun Jin is best placed on teams that focus on buffing a single charactersattack, specifically Normal Attacks.

This Noelle Hypercarry team combination uses Yun Jin andBennett's buffing abilities to focus on Noelle's primaryattack with her Claymore. The synergy here between Yun Jin and Noelle's large,slow, AoE attacks is almost perfect with 30 attacks available between eachrotation. We have added Fischl supporting off-field DMGwith her Electro attacks. Overall, this build performs quitewell and is very easy to play with no set rotation outside of using Yun Jin's Cliffbreaker's Banner than swapping to Noelle until the buffexpires.

The main focus of this build is Ayato and his NormalAttacks, providing some significant Hydro DMG.Xingqiu's Elemental Skill Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen and Elemental Burst Guhua Sword: Raincutter, both produce Rain Swords helping tokeep Ayato safe with extra Damage Reduction. They also boost his interruptionRES, allowing him to continuously chain his attacks. Kazuhais added to help with grouping enemies together with his Chihayaburu andhis Kazuha Slash can both be used just before Yun Jin's Cliffbreaker's Banner to stack her buff on Ayato. Overall,this build is a lot of fun with Ayato's Kamisato Art: Kyouka and Kamisato Art: Suiyuu, both benefiting his normalattacks.

As with our previous build, this Vaporize team's main DPS is focused on NormalAttacks. Yoimiya's Niwabi Fire-Danceconverts her Normal Attacks to Pyro allowing her to getsome great Elemental Reaction damage with Xingqiu spreadingHydro. We amplify her attacks further with YunJin's Cliffbreaker's Banner, letting Yoimiya run around thefield and take down enemies with her bow. On top of this synergy around NormalAttacks, we have added in Zhongli for shielding,Elemental RES shred and a Geo Resonancebonus with Yun Jin. This build's rotation is very fluid anddoes not have any set order outside of swapping Yoimiya on to the field rightafter Yun Jin's buff is activated.
