Yun Jin build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

Engulfing Lightning is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Yun Jin's kit multiplies DEF, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Skyward Spine, Footprint of the Rainbow and Vortex Vanquisher come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Yun Jin, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Archaic Petra on Yun Jin, with Husk of Opulent Dreams and Celestial Gift behind it. Main stats are DEF% sands, DEF% goblet, DEF% circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > DEF% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.

Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Skill

Opening Flourish

Ms. Yun may just be acting out fights on stage, but her skills with the spear are real enough to defend against her foes.

Press Flourishes her polearm in a cloud-grasping stance, dealing Geo DMG.

Hold Takes up the Opening Flourish stance and charges up, forming a shield. DMG Absorption is based on Yun Jin's Max HP and has 150% effectiveness against all Elemental DMG and Physical DMG. The shield lasts until she finishes unleashing her Elemental Skill. When the skill is released, when its duration ends, or when the shield breaks, Yun Jin will unleash the charged energy as an attack, dealing Geo DMG. Based on the time spent charging, it will either unleash an attack at Charge Level 1 or Level 2.

One glorious moment on-stage, a decade of preparation behind it.

Burst

Cliffbreaker's Banner

Deals AoE Geo DMG and grants all nearby party members a Flying Cloud Flag Formation.

Flying Cloud Flag Formation When Normal Attack DMG is dealt to opponents, Bonus DMG will be dealt based on Yun Jin's current DEF.

The effects of this skill will be cleared after a set duration or after being triggered a specific number of times. When one Normal Attack hits multiple opponents, the effect is triggered multiple times according to the number of opponents hit. The number of times that the effect is triggered is counted independently for each member of the party with Flying Cloud Flag Formation.

As the drums resound, as swords and halberds weave and clash, the doyenne is transformed into a mighty general. As the instruments on stage strum in unison, lo, see how she vanquishes these demons!
