Yun Jin made a big splash alongside Shenhe earlier this year on Genshin Impact. In order to help you get the most out of this 4-star Geo character, here is the best build for Yun Jin to adopt.
Introduced in Genshin Impact patch 2.4 alongside Shenhe, Yun Jin quickly turned many heads. It must be said that this talented opera singer and famous playwright has everything to please, but do not trust her sweet voice, once on the battlefield, she does not lace.
This 4-star Geo support can work wonders, especially if it fits into that normal attack-focused team.
Yun Jin’s skills in Genshin Impact
Attack: Cloud Caress
- Normal attack: Yun Jin performs up to 5 consecutive rapid strikes with his spear.
- Charged Attack: Yun Jin consumes some of his stamina and lunges forward, hitting all enemies in his path
- Diving attack: Yun Jin dives to strike the ground below, damaging opponents in his path and inflicting area DMG on impact
Elemental Skill: Open Flourish
Yun Jin wields his spear to stroke the clouds and inflicts Geo DMG on nearby opponents.
When the skill is charged, Yun Jin assumes the stance of open flourishing, it charges and deploys a shield, based on its max HP, effective at 150% against elemental and physical DMG. When the shield breaks or its deployment ends, Yun Jin unleashes a Geo attack.
Elemental Unleashing: Cliff Breaking Banner
Yun Jin unleashes Area Geo DMGs and grants all nearby team members a cloud banner formation.
- Cloud Banner Formation: When normal attack DMG is dealt to opponents, bonus damage is dealt based on Yun Jin’s current defense. The effects of this skill end after 12 seconds or when all 30 charges have been consumed.
Passive Skills
- Optimized nutrition:12% chance to get an extra dish when you cook a perfect dish that has exploration effects.
- True to yourself: When Yun Jin uses the Open Flourish skill at the exact moment she is attacked, she triggers her 2nd charge.
- Rejection of agreements: When the team has characters of 1/2/3/4 elemental types, the normal attack DMG bonus granted by a cloud banner formation increases further, by a value equal to 2.5%/5% /7.5%/11.5% of Yun Jin’s DEF
The Constellations of Yun Jin
If luck is on your side, you will have the opportunity to unlock incredible constellations.
- Level 1 – Vaudeville gallop : Reduces the ToR of Open Flourishing by 18%.
- Level 2 – Myriad of accessories : After using Cliff Breaking Banner, normal attack DMG of all nearby team characters are increased by 15% for 12 seconds.
- Level 3 – Maritime flag: Increases the level of Cliff Breaking Banner by 3. The maximum level is 15.
- Level 4 – The edge of a flower: When she triggers a Crystallization reaction, her DEF is increased by 20% for 12 seconds.
- Level 5 – Celebrity across the lands: Increases the level of Open Fulfillment by 3. The maximum level is 15.
- Level 6 – Aesthetic harmony: When a character is affected by a cloud banner formation, the attack speed of their normal attacks is increased by 12%.

Best Artifacts for Yun Jin in Genshin Impact
Yun Jin’s best build relies on using the Shell of Opulent Dreams, which increases his defense by 30%, while giving him Curiosity stacks. As Yun Jin’s abilities are designed to support his team and absorb DMG, having a set that directly increases his defensive abilities and Geo damage is a must.
If you want Yun Jin to deal some DMG as well, rather than using 4 Shells, better bet on Ancient Rock as well. This artifact will increase Yun Jin’s Geo damage bonus by 15% as well as his party’s.

Best Weapons for Yun Jin in Genshin Impact
The best weapon for Yun Jin is hands down the Staff of Homa. This 5-star weapon will increase his HP by 20%, while providing an attack bonus based on 0.8% of his max HP. Knowing that when his HP is lower than 50%, this bonus will be increased by 1% of his max HP.
However, if the Staff of Homa is not really for you, or if you reserve this weapon for another character, then the Winged Jade Spear will also do the trick. It will be especially useful if you want to increase the damage of Yun Jin’s attack.
Otherwise, you can opt for the Scion of Victory. This object is easily accessible, which makes it a great alternative.

Who to play Yun Jin with?
Yun Jin can work wonders in multiple teams, but the best characters to use with her are Zhongli, Bennett, and Xingqiu. Zhongli is an incredibly powerful 5-star character that suits most team compositions, his damage and survivability will be greatly improved in this scenario.
Indeed, the power of the shields of Yun Jin and Zhongli is thus increased by 15%, while the allies protected by the shields see their damage increased by 15%. Attacks will also reduce their opponents Geo Resistance by 20% for 15s.
As if that buff wasn’t already enough, Bennett and Xingqui set the bar even higher. If a character’s health in Bennett’s ultimate is above 70%, they gain an attack bonus that is based on their base attack. Which shouldn’t be a problem for Yun Jin or Zhongli, as their shields will easily limit enemy damage.
Finally, Xingqui’s elemental skill will provide even more DPS, Crystallization reactions, and even reduce incoming damage.
