Using Jing Yuan
When Jing Yuan is up against a lot of foes and has a powerful buffer that may increase his already high damage even more, he performs best against many targets.Making sure you stack as many stacks as you can before his Lightning Lord strike activates is the most crucial aspect of his kit. This means that because both of these accumulate stacks for him, you should always try to set aside a skill point so you may utilize his skill every turn. You should also use your ultimate as often as you can.Because of this mechanism, he may also get an extra move every round from Bronya of Honkai Star Rail, which is a highly useful asset. You may use Bronya's assistance to make your Jing Yuan inflict massive amounts of damage and gain maximum stacks for his next Lightning Lord by having him execute abilities and one ultimate every round.
