The one and only Jingliu finally arrived during version 1.4 of Honkai Star Rail, and everyone who saw her during the initial trailers rushed to get her. If you are one of the lucky few who pulled her for your team, let us tell you: you did well by choosing her. After the lack of proper Ice DPS characters besides Yanqing, Jingliu is finally here to set things right and own the battlefield like the rightful member of the High-Cloud Quintet. Yet, if you want to know the best way to put her skills to use, here’s the best build and team comp for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail.
The Best Build and Team Comp for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail
Jingliu is a 5-star character who wields the Ice element and hails (no pun intended) from the Path of Destruction. She’s a force to be reckoned with due to her single-target and AoE damage capabilities. There’s a catch when using her, though. Some of her skills drain the HP of other party members, making her a high-risk, high-reward character. Still, with the proper build and team comp, you can turn this apparent hindrance into a win. So, let’s see what her build encompasses.
Light Cones
For Light Cones, Jingliu has fewer options than other Path members as she has a particular set of skills that shine with specific items. Here are the ones we recommend:
- I Shall Be My Own Sword (Best):
- Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 20%. When an ally gets attacked or loses HP, the wearer gains 1 stack of Eclipse, up to 3 stack(s).
- Each stack of Eclipse will increase the DMG of the wearer’s next attack by 14%. When 3 stack(s) are maxed out, an additional attack that ignores 12% of the enemy’s DEF will be delivered.
- A Secret Vow:
- Increases DMG dealt by the wearer by 20%. The wearer also deals an extra 20% of DMG to enemies with a higher HP percentage than the wearer.

Relic Sets
While many characters benefit from using a complete set with 4 pieces, Jingliu is one of the few who works better by adding two of one and two of another. Here’s what we recommend for her build:
- Hunter of Glacial Forest (2 Pieces)
- 2-Piece Bonus: Increases Ice DMG by 10%.
- Musketeer of Wild Wheat (2 Pieces)
- 2-Piece Bonus: Increases ATK by 10%.
- Ornaments:
- Rutilant Arena (2 Pieces)
Team Composition
Given her skills, Jingliu needs the right party members to keep her and everyone else afloat while also improving her damage, making her build options a bit limited in Honkai Star Rail; however, you can always mix and match in case you’re missing any of the members. Here are the two teams we recommend:
- Premium Team
- Main DPS: Jingliu
- Support: Bronya
- Tank: Fu Xuan
- Healer: Luocha
- Free-to-Play Team
- Main DPS: Jingliu
- Support: Tingyun
- Tank: Trailblazer (Fire)
- Healer: Lynx
