Jean is one of the Standard banner 5-star characters in Genshin Impact. You can use her to deal significant Anemo damage to enemies while also healing all allies. By stacking enough ATK on her, you can ensure your team’s survival even in the direst of situations. Moreover, by unlocking Jean’s constellations, you can improve her supportive capabilities significantly. Overall, she is an amazing character to build, especially during the early game.

How to Play Jean

Here’s how to play Jean effectively:

  1. Use the hold version of Elemental Skill to group enemies and toss them in a particular direction, while also generating energy.
  2. Cast Elemental Burst close to the foes to deal Anemo damage to them, while also healing party members.
  3. Switch to your damage dealers and proceed with their abilities.

Should you pull Jean?

No, it isn’t recommended to specifically spend Primogems on the Standard banner to get Jean. While she is an amazing character, you will eventually obtain her by losing your 50/50 on the character banners. However, if you do get her, it is highly recommended to build her. She becomes one of the best Anemo Support characters in the game once you unlock her C4.
