Jing

Jing is a limited SSR Archer belonging to the Wild Spirit (Green) and Otherworld Return factions. Described by the community as a “blade-wielding Eastern beauty,” she is a premium, single-target hyper-carry.

Unlike flexible support units, Jing is a massive, high-investment project that demands extremely strict stat thresholds to function, but rewards players with single-target damage that drastically outpaces mages like Ifrit on boss encounters.

Strategy

Key Abilities & Passive Effects

Single-Target Shred: Jing is completely tailored to melting down isolated, bulky targets and backline priority threats rather than clearing waves.
Crit-Dependent Scaling: Her entire kit revolves around landing critical hits. If she fails to crit, her damage output drops off significantly, leading veterans to warn that she is not beginner-friendly.
Armor Penetration: At maximum investment thresholds, she gains immense defense-ignoring properties that allow her to bypass the beefiest endgame Guardians.

Strategic Build Recommendations

Minimum Viable Investment:
- 1-Red Star: The community considers this the absolute bare minimum to slot her into any team. Dropping resources on her if you can’t guarantee 6 copies is heavily discouraged.
Endgame Investment:
- Diamond Star / Divine: Highly recommended. Veterans emphasize that Jing needs to be pushed to Diamond star to unlock her crucial 30% resistance penetration, eliminating the need to run specific pierce weapons.
Stat Focus:
- The 1500 Crit Cap: This is her absolute top priority. The community consensus is that “Jing sucks” unless you heavily invest in top-tier gear sets to cap her critical hit rate.
Gear & Traits:
- Players strictly recommend equipping her with Crit/Attack Daggers over bow alternatives, alongside two full sets of crit rate gear.
Sub-Class Path:
- Follow the Tracker path through Hunter P and ultimately into Bounty Hunter P. Do not hesitate to use premium Primal Embers here, as her damage scales heavily with subclass node investment.

Team Synergies

Jing demands a team built entirely around setting up her damage windows and matching her specific dragon requirements.

The Wild Spirit Burst Team:
- Core Members: Jing + Chiron + Goblin War Drummer.
- Strategy: The Goblin War Drummer provides the necessary attack speed buffs while Chiron offers the damage orb setups. Together with Jing’s crit focus, this trio can completely erase any single boss unit in seconds.
The Late-Game Progress Lineup:
- Core Members: Jing + Athena + Azure Dragon + Atanith + Pompeii.
- Strategy: Used to clear high-floor story content at massive power deficits. Athena and Azure Dragon loop their ultimates back-to-back to continuously disable the enemy frontline, allowing Jing to safely fire from the sidelines.
The Green Dragon Match:
- Core Members: Jing + Oberonnie + Siegfried + Titania.
- Strategy: Built strictly to maximize the Emerald (Green) Dragon or Shadow Dragon buffs. Pairing Jing with her designated dragon synergy yields more than double her standard damage output compared to off-color teams.

Community Tips

Jing vs. Ifrit: A major point of debate on Reddit. Around the same star levels, Ifrit is easier to use as a plug-and-play AOE carry for general story progression. However, on expedition bosses and single-target event stages, a properly geared 5-Red or Diamond Jing can outdamage Ifrit by more than double.
F2P Warning: Avoid splitting resources between her and Fire/Red teams early on. Because Red teams are incredibly expensive to optimize late-game, F2P players are advised to go all-in on Jing and the Green Dragon core if they pull on her limited banner.
Active Gift Codes: The codes Jing312 and Blindfolded were distributed during her featured rollout.
