Like the other standard banner 5 star units, Jean showed a lot of initial promise, carrying many of us through our early days of Genshin. Over two years later and her potential still remains, yet her diminishing representation caused many to discard her in favor of other, more traditionally powerful Anemo characters. Today we’ll be talking about Why NO ONE Plays: Jean.

    (EDIT) – Two minor errors in the video (ty to comments for pointing it out):

    1 – Qiqi's healing also scales off ATK

    2 – I said in the video Jean's burst does periodic anemo damage when I misunderstood that it only does damage to enemies who ENTER and EXIT the field as well as after it expires.

    My mistake! Will double check the details next time.

  2. Aside the lack of swirl, these are also why she's not fun to use.

    Her charged attack is slow and has minuscule range. It's pretty and unique, but very impractical.
    Skill hold is clunky to use / too slow to activate for the hyper-fast combat.
    Like older characters – Attack animations are not up to date with new characters, there is too much slow-in and slow-out in her slashes (windup). Like Diluc, she feels like Kingdom Hearts 1 Sora, where there is so much weight in each motion, you feel like you're locked in the combo.
    It's not as bad as Razor's horrible attack combo, but it's noticeable nevertheless.

  3. Since her burst does dmg only on mobs entering/exiting her field, what is it like on boss opponents that are partially in it? Like Azhdaha? Does it start ticking then or does it count as "entered" and doesn't hit again until their hitbox completely leaves and re-enters the field?

    Her burst sounds fitting for mobs that move around a lot, though those that do move a bunch do so slowly and with such great distance, you'd probably get the most use out of fighting enemies like the Nobushi, right? I haven't played her in so long but i've been wanting to rebuild her since she's my first 5* and deserves to be treated well.

  4. I was lucky enough to pull her on the beginner's wish banner. She carried me hard up until about AR 46. I've rebuilt her with noblesse recently and I love to bring her during co-op. She heals everyone and does good damage, she boosts attack and is just really nice when the people I'm co-oping with rely on a full team usually and not just one or two.

  5. I've been a Jean main from Day 1 and, with a decent VV set, she's always carried me through 36ing Spiral Abyss. Having C6 helps though… How is Jean's "only" function is anemo support? She also heals – and that frees you up from needing Kokomi or any healer. To me that frees up a lot of team comps since she functions as a support buffer and a healer. Rather than needing a healer and Sucrose, for example

  6. This is just my hot take but the title should be change to "why only few plays" because as I can see in the player base, Diluc and Jean might not be considered played by a lot of people in the abyss but there's still alot that plays them in the overwold. What I mean is there are still many who plays them unlike someone as aloy or amber who are rarely even used in the overwold

  7. The thing is, despite the valid points you make in this video, she's still a great unit altogether, and BiS for some niche circumstances, which have kept her on field and in abyss more than most of the other early game 5* units, especially the DPS.
    C4+ especially is Xiao's BiS support due to the healing provided and the res shred, and considering how expensive Faru is on POGO and the lack of survivability her addition adds in, there is a lot of argument to be made for who is the better Anemo support to run for him, especially if your Faru is under C6.
    So basically any Xiao mains who don't have a Healing Zhongli are more inclined to run Jean over Faru. You're better off focusing on Why XIAO isn't as common of a sight anymore than Jean, IMO. Jean has great utility on sunfire and in overworld, so its not that she doesn't get played, and I still see plenty running around in coop.

    This one was definitely a headscratcher of an episode. The last few abyss just haven't had a lot of space for teams that don't center around dendro and its reactions, so the numbers are clearly not telling the whole story here.

  8. I just want to point out that Jean can pick up all hilichurl types even the biggest ones and bully them with her charge attack and alt. I've been doing this for the past few days since she literally turns fighting them into the fight back meme where the moment they get up they are knocked back down no matter the size

  9. I personally don't use Jean anymore because I'm tired that I cursed to always gets her almost everytime I lost my 50/50. Not gonna lie, Jean cons is great but I need another standard characters like Mona, Qiqi, and Tighnari. Anyway, great video!

  10. The part about her being hard to get hit me hard. I've been playing since 1.2, have a c2 Diluc, c1 Mona, and c7 Keqing, but I've literally NEVER gotten Jean or QiQi. And I definitely would use her in my Xiao team if I had her so it hurts lol

  11. I found a really fun comps with her which is Ayato / Childe, Bennett and dendro MC. It's burgeon with vape and swirl and it's soooo satysfying! I think it'll clean Abyss with ease but my Jean is only lvl 50 🥲 She hits hard tho

  12. I want Jean so badly! My fiance got me into the game, and his Jean is amazing. I've only been playing for a little under 6 months, and the only standards I have are Keqing and Qiqi (who I'm not building because I'm not playing lolis). I really want to get Jean and Diluc, but especially Jean. I'm hoping that since they're putting new characters on standard (Dehya), and there are rumors of triple banners on the horizon, they might rotate the old standards off and put them in that third banner slot along with niche characters like Eula for new players who want these specific characters while they put new and mainstream characters in the first two banner slots.

  13. Jean’s burst doesnt actually deal periodic anemo damage. It only applies anemo to characters within the field, and deals damage to enemies when they enter or leave the field.

  14. First time I’ve been confused when seeing one of the no one plays videos, she’s one of the standard characters I see people playing the most along with mona and in quite a few teams I’d say sunfire jean is better than kazuha

    Reply
  15. I will never understand why some people say that "Qiqi struggles even as a healer"
    You literally can't die with Qiqi on your team and with Clam, she does a decent amount of dmg on top of that
    But yeah, she is not Bennett 🙄
    Jean is a jack of all trades, she can do dmg, heal, buff, a bit of CC…she will never be best at any of those but she can comfortably slot into all kinds of teams if someone isn't boring and only plays meta
    Seriously, take a shot for every video without Raiden national being mentioned lol…don't even bother opening the bottle

    Also, why do people pronounce Dehya as Dee-ah? It is Deh-hee-yah
    Similiar way to chinese Di-xi-ya and japanese Di-shi-ya
    The letters are there…why is the english pronunciation constantly wrong
    Wtf is Dee-ah…

  16. i think you only need well build sucrose and kazuha as an anemo character while hydro has so much to offer with so many different characters so i dont know where the idea of anemo being the strongest element in the game came from

  17. Jean was my first 5 star on begginer banner, and she has protected my team from everything in the main story. She and Kaeya have never left my main story/exploration party since day 1. I only bring her to abyss when I bring Xiao, for the particle generation but that's pretty much it.

    But whenever there's a new quest, I put up my main party and there she goes, leading the boys (Thoma, Kaeya and Childe)
