Best Jing Yuan Honkai Star Rail build: Relics, Light Cones, Eidolons & Abilities

Jing Yuan is a 5-star Lightning Erudition character in Honkai Star Rail. He is extremely powerful and is arguably the best AoE (Area of Effect) unit in the game by quite a margin especially when using the best build.

Jing Yuan, despite being an AoE unit, has the capability to deal massive damage. He outperforms the likes of Serval quite easily and can function even as a boss slayer in certain scenarios in Honkai Star Rail.

However, just like every other powerful unit, Jing Yuan is dependent on having the best build in order to become the most effective. Hence, here is our in-depth guide to the best build for Jing Yuan in Honkai Star Rail including his optimal Relics, Light Cones, Eidolons, and Abilities.
