How to Create Strong Builds for Jean in Genshin Impact

Sun, 09/28/2025

Jean is rerunning for the current version 6.0 Genshin banners as a 5-star option, and she is one of the best picks to pull for. She is a solid Support character to have on a team. Combine her power with the newest characters like Lauma or Flins, and you have a strong foundation for a team to carry you far through Nod-Krai, especially if you’re a beginner to Genshin Impact. Here’s how to create the best builds for Jean as a Sub-DPS and Support!

Jean’s Strengths, Weaknesses, and Specialties

While most players may use Jean as a simple Support for her healing abilities, she has some quirks as a Sub-DPS too. Jean has an Elemental Skill that can toss enemies in the air, which can give heavy fall damage depending on where you do it. Her heals also scale off her Attack stats, improving her Sub-DPS capabilities. Her Elemental Burst even provides intense AOE damage against enemies and healing for her teammates, which can be lucrative. Need a quick Genshin top-up? Find some cheap boosts today on U7BUY!

The main downside to the Burst mentioned, however, is that the cooldown is a bit high. You can help this by increasing Jean’s Energy Recharge, but her Burst is stationary, meaning you’ll have to time it right to prevent possible Attacks against you. Jean can also struggle with crowd control due to having high knockback with her combos, which may throw some players off.

The Best Swords for Jean

Jean’s choice of sword can heavily affect how she plays. Her best sword, the Primordial Jade Cutter, improves her maximum health while giving an Attack bonus. While her Attack bonus is always welcome, her health boost will keep her alive in the team for longer. If you plan to use Jean primarily as a healer, this boost is incredibly important. Other swords, like the Festering Desire, can improve her Energy Recharge for her Elemental Burst cooldown, which is preferred for Sub-DPS builds.

The Best Artifacts for Jean

Jean is reliant on her Elemental Bursts and abilities to give her teammates heals and deal damage, which artifacts can boost. Depending on your playstyle, you can focus on the Sub-DPS aspect of her kit and increase her Elemental damage, or provide more opportunities for Jean to heal. The Viridescent Venerer artifact set is built for damage, while The Exile is a great 4-star option for boosting her Energy Recharge for herself and the party.

The Best Team Comps for Jean

Jean can synergize well with practically any team as a Sub-DPS or basic healer, but she has some unique comps that are significant. As a Support, players can make Jean synergize with other Supports to boost their buffs for the Main and Sub-DPS on the team. Some good examples are Furina and Bennett, who can stack Jean’s Elemental Bursts whether through Swirl or Pyro stacks and damage.
