Jianxin Best Teams
Jianxin serves as an excellent Sub-DPS option for characters such as Calcharo due to his dependence on utilizing his Ultimate ability. Additionally, his Enhanced Dodge Counter following the use of his Ultimate contributes to Resonance Liberation damage.
It is advisable to have Yangyang as a support character in order to benefit from the additional Resonance Energy Regeneration provided by her Outro Skill.
It is worth mentioning that you have the option to substitute Calcharo with any other character who enjoys spamming their Ultimate Ability.
However, it is important to ensure that the character you choose has a damage component in their skill, as Jianxin's Resonance Liberation Boost does not impact enhanced attacks unless it is explicitly mentioned, as is the case with Calcharo.
