Talent – Prana Extirpated (AoE ATK)
Summons Lightning-Lord at the start of the battle. Lightning-Lord has 60 base SPD and 3 base Hits Per Action. When the Lightning-Lord takes action, its hits are considered as follow-up attacks, with each hit dealing Lightning DMG equal to 33% of Jing Yuan’s ATK to a single enemy, and enemies adjacent to it also receive Lightning DMG equal to 25% of the DMG dealt to the target enemy. The Lightning-Lord’s Hits Per Action can reach a max of 10. Every time Lightning-Lord’s Hits Per Action increases by 1, its SPD increases by 10. After the Lightning-Lord’s action ends, its SPD and Hits Per Action return to their base values. When Jing Yuan is knocked down, the Lightning-Lord will disappear. When Jing Yuan is affected by Crowd Control debuff, the Lightning-Lord is unable to take action.
Technique Spirit Invocation Enhance
After using Technique, at the start of the next battle, the Lightning-Lord’s Hits Per Action in the first turn increases by 3.
Honkai: Star Rail Jing Yuan – How to get
You can get your hands on Jing Yuan by using the Star Rail Special Passes on his banner once he makes his official debut on Honkai Star Rail.
Honkai: Star Rail Jing Yuan – Ascension
| Ascension 2 | Ascension 4 | Ascension 6 |
|---|---|---|

Jing Yuan’s attack animations are clearly among the most interesting and visually appealing in the game. As a result, you not only get Jing Yuan, who can deal insane area-of-effect damage, but also protects himself extremely well in one-on-one encounters. It is not surprising that Jing Yuan will continue to be a major player in the meta for another year or two.
