Genshin Impact Jean Guide - best build, strengths and weaknesses

Welcome to Pocket Gamer's detailed Genshin Impact Jean guide! Jean is the Dandelion Knight and the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. Devoted to her duties and serious about each task, Jean works tirelessly to make Mondstadt the best nation it can be.

She continues to suggest that Diluc is a superior, even after he left the Knights of Favonius, as she understands that they both want the best for Mondstadt and will stand to protect it at any cost. More of a pacifist than an instigator, she still is willing to put up a fight if one is necessary to resolve a conflict.

Best Build for Jean in Genshin Impact

Jean is great when she is flinging enemies away from her with her Skill attacks. Use the Aquila Favonia weapon to increase her ATK damage, and it also has the bonus of regenerating health based on the damage she deals out. If you pair this with the Noblesse Oblige artifact set, she’ll do additional Burst damage and it raises all party member’s attacks when she does her Elemental Burst.

Best Party Members to match Jean with in Genshin Impact

Premium (Gacha) Team

In Genshin Impact, Jean can be either a great DPS or a Healer, but you’ll likely want to focus on her Anemo skills to maximize damage. Picking Klee to help amplify damage is a great idea, as the Anemo can work well with Klee’s bombs. Albedo is a great support that can provide elemental mastery and some extra damage. Use Xingqiu to make Swirl reactions for more Elemental damage.

F2P Team

Jean can swap back and forth between damage and healing, but it’ll take a bit to get the swapping right. Use Kaeya to do some extra debuffing when combined with Lisa’s electro to make Superconduct. Otherwise, Lisa is great for pairing with the other team members for reactions. Xiangling can be used to lure enemies and pair with Jean to create Swirl reactions.
