Talent - Crescent Transmigration

[Enhance]
When Jingliu has 2 stack(s) of Syzygy, she enters the Spectral Transmigration state with her Action Advanced by 100% and her CRIT Rate increases by 40%–52%. Then, Jingliu's Skill "Transcendent Flash" becomes enhanced and turns into "Moon On Glacial River," and becomes the only ability she can use in battle.

When Jingliu uses an attack in the Spectral Transmigration state, she consumes HP from all other allies equal to 4% of their respective Max HP (this cannot reduce allies' HP to lower than 1).

Jingliu's ATK increases by 540% of the total HP consumed from all allies in this attack, capped at 90%–198% of her base ATK, lasting until the current attack ends.

Jingliu cannot enter the Spectral Transmigration state again until the current Spectral Transmigration state ends. Syzygy can stack up to 3 times. When Syzygy stacks become 0, Jingliu will exit the Spectral Transmigration state.

After entering combat with enemies in the dimension, Jingliu immediately regenerates 15 Energy and obtains 1 stack(s) of Syzygy, with a 100% base chance of Freezing enemy targets for 1 turn(s).

While Frozen, enemy targets cannot take action, and receive Ice Additional DMG equal to 80% of Jingliu's ATK at the start of every turn. Only 1 dimension created by allies can exist at the same time.

Main & Sub Stats Priority

Team Recommendations

1) Destruction Duo

Whenever Jingliu enters the Spectral Transmigration and consumes allies' HP to use the Enhanced Skill, Blade will also stack 1 Charge. When his Charge reaches the maximum (5 stacks) he will trigger the Talent - Shuhu's Gift that deals a follow-up attack while also restoring his own HP. In other words, Blade can spam his Talent - which is one of his main damage outputs - much more when added to Jingliu's team. You can swap Luocha for Lynx.

Jingliu: Main DPS
Blade: Main DPS
Luocha / Lynx (Any other healer): Healer
Bronya / Ruan Mei / Tingyun (Any other support): Buffer

2) Ice Team

Bronya can dispel a debuff, make the selected ally immediately take action, and increases ATK + Crit DMG. If you don't have her, you can use Tingyun.
Silver Wolf can add 1 new Weakness to enemies and reduce the opponent's DEF (Best to bring along if the enemy doesn't have Ice Weakness).
Pela is almost the same as Silver Wolf as she can reduce DEF but Pela is better for mobs while Silver Wolf for a single-target boss.

Jingliu: Main DPS
Bronya / Ruan Mei / Tingyun (Any other support): Buffer
Pela / Silver Wolf (Any other support): Debuffer
Luocha / Lynx (Any other healer): Healer
