Jingran's Known Details
Jingran is expected to debut in Phase 2 of Version 3.6. The update is currently projected to launch around August 20–21, which would place Jingran’s banner in early September. Before that, Version 3.6 Phase 1 is expected to introduce another new Resonator, Qingxiao.
The table below summarizes what we know about Jingran so far.Since several of these details still come from leaks, they may change before the official reveal. I’ll keep following the latest Jingran news and update this article whenever something new comes up.
Jingran's Design and Appearance
Jingran is a Mengzhou-born Nethermancer who wanders through mirages, shadows, and the remnants of a lost age. His eyes perceive the reverberations left behind by all things—frequencies and scars that ordinary senses cannot detect.
“Straight to the underworld... Couldn't have asked for better.”
— Jingran
He answers to no sect's law and bows to no god's order. Wherever his travels take him, his own heart is the only law he consults, and every road he follows is one he has carved himself.
Jingran's right eye can seize scattered, fluctuating frequencies that escape conventional perception. His left eye is linked to a high-order Remnant Creature—described in material as the Eye of the Covenant. Together, they allow him to anchor frequencies, share perception, relay commands, and expose what would otherwise remain hidden.
Jingran's Leaked Kit
Jingran is a Fusion Broadblade Main DPS whose combat revolves around Max HP, self-shields, Heavy Attacks, and aerial movement. These mechanics appear to form one continuous rotation.
Beyond the mechanics above, Jingran is also expected to use Yin-Yang Forms. Current information points to two combat modes with separate Basic Attack and Resonance Skill branches, while Yang Form appears to unlock an additional enhanced skill.
My read is that Yin Form will handle setup by building resources and consuming HP, before an enhanced Heavy Attack shifts Jingran into Yang Form for his main damage window. Yang Form may then convert those resources into stronger attacks while restoring HP or refreshing his shields—essentially a smooth build in Yin, deal damage in Yang, then repeat rotation.
Jingran's Leaked Signature Weapon
Ming Ying is expected to be Jingran’s signature weapon. Its HP and CRIT DMG stats complement his HP-scaling damage, while its passive enhances Heavy Attacks, provides extra Fusion DMG, and restores HP whenever he gains a shield.
Jingran's Best Teams (Early Theorycraft)
Based on the current kit information, Jingran is an on-field Fusion Main DPS who scales with HP and deals most of his damage through Heavy Attacks, supported by aerial combat and self-generated shields.
The teams below follow three main approaches: maximizing Jingran’s Heavy Attack damage, building a Fusion-focused quick-swap team, or creating a low-cost setup with accessible off-field damage and healing.
To see how Jingran's potential teammates compare in the current meta, check our Wuthering Waves Tier List.
Heavy Attack Team
Fusion Core
Accessible / F2P Team
Jingran + Mortefi + Baizhi is an accessible team for players without premium supports. Mortefi strengthens Jingran’s Heavy Attacks, while Baizhi provides healing and a universal damage buff.
Qingxiao vs Jingran: Who Should You Save For?
Version 3.5 already gives you two tempting banners: Yangyang: Xuanling in Phase 1 and SuiSui in Phase 2. In the upcoming Version 3.6, Qingxiao is expected to arrive in Phase 1, followed by Jingran in Phase 2.
Based on his current kit information, Jingran is an HP-scaling Fusion Main DPS who relies on Heavy Attacks, Yin-Yang Forms, and repeated shields.
Accounts that already have Iuno or Mortefi for Heavy Attack amplification, or a universal support such as Shorekeeper, should be well prepared to build around him. Jingran is especially worth considering for players who need a durable on-field Fusion carry outside conventional ATK-focused teams.
Astrite Planning Guide
Jingran is expected to debut in Phase 2 of Version 3.6. Wuthering Waves character banners reach 5-star pity at 80 pulls. Since the first 5-star is not guaranteed to be Jingran, you may need up to 160 pulls—or 25,600 Astrite—to secure him in the worst-case scenario.
His featured weapon is guaranteed within 80 weapon pulls, requiring up to another 12,800 Astrite.
The table below shows the maximum budget required when starting from zero pity. Existing pity, a guaranteed character, Radiant Tides, or Forging Tides will reduce these totals.
Pre-farming Guide
Jingran is officially confirmed as a Fusion Broadblade Resonator. His specific Ascension and Forte materials have not been revealed yet, but you can safely prepare these universal resources:
- Resonance Potions for character EXP
- Energy Cores for weapon EXP
- Waveworn Residue 210, 226, 235, and 239 for his Forte and Broadblade upgrades
- Sealed Tubes and Tuners for Echo upgrades
- Unopened weekly and event-selectable material boxes
Waveworn Residue is the best material to farm now because Broadblade Resonators need it for Forte upgrades, while Broadblade weapons also use it.
You can also claim extra Astrite and supplies through the latest Wuthering Waves redeem codes.
