Soft tip: if you locked one 3.6 guarantee, Wuthering Waves Lunite on VGTopup lands on UID at up to 30% under store price.
Jingran doom checklist (July 2026)
Updated on 2026-07-24: Fusion Broadblade confirm + Lamp of Nether Road read folded into the pull table. Kit multipliers stay leak-tier until the 3.6 special program.
Risk people raise | What it actually means | Doom level |
|---|---|---|
Fusion Broadblade | Locks him off Qingxiao’s Aero Tune Strain Echo path and onto Lamp of Nether Road | Low |
HP scaling | First major Max HP carry since Cartethyia; ATK Broadblades lose value | Medium |
Shield Echo 5-piece | Needs frequent shields for Crit Rate + Fusion DMG stacks | Medium |
Signature pressure | Few existing 5★ Broadblades feed Max HP well | Medium to High |
Teammate lock-in | Iuno / Lupa / Shorekeeper look strong on paper; full kit not public | Unknown |
Aura / design ceiling | Hooded Mengzhou nethermancer with Life Lantern identity already lands | None |
Attribute confirm did not cook him. It made his build path weird and his weapon bar thinner. Kuro has not shipped a weak limited carry across the last year of patches, so park “doomed” until multipliers show up.
What Fusion Broadblade locks in
Qingxiao sits on Aero Sword in the same Mengzhou drip wave. Current calendars put Jingran in the Fusion Broadblade slot for Version 3.6 Phase 2 (3.6 banner schedule).
That split points him at one Echo set:
Piece | Lamp of Nether Road (live in 3.5) | Why Jingran cares |
|---|---|---|
2-piece | +10% HP | Feeds Max HP scaling instead of ATK% |
5-piece | Gain shield → +5% Crit Rate (stack 4, 0.5s ICD); max stacks also +15% Fusion DMG | Wants a kit that refreshes shields often |
Farm spot | Western Fang Peaks Tacet Field (Mengzhou) | You can build the set before his banner |
4-cost today | Rustfire Chassis (Fusion / Max HP lines) | Safe placeholder until a dedicated 3.6 Echo lands |
Augusta proved shield-tied DPS buffs once, then the design sat idle for a long stretch. Jingran’s set brings it back: either he self-shields hard enough to stack alone, or a shield partner (Iuno in most theorycraft) plugs the gap.
Weapons and kit locks worth watching
HP scaling is the sharp edge. Broadblade banners push ATK, Crit, and Heavy Attack lines. A Max HP carry cannot treat every 5★ Broadblade as a free sidegrade.
Weapon situation | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
Signature Broadblade | Leaked / unnamed | Expect HP% + Crit DMG + Heavy Attack packages |
Verdant Summit / Ages of Harvest | Existing 5★ options | Work as Crit sticks; ATK passives underperform |
Calcharo signature (HP sword) | Irrelevant | He is Broadblade, so that niche alternate died |
Craftable / BP Broadblades | Budget floor | Fine for early clears; watch Heavy Attack lines |
Sig disparity worries every WuWa DPS. Jingran just has fewer “good enough” leftovers if his passive wants Max HP and Heavy Attack at once. That is a planning flag, not a skip stamp.
Kit restraint is the other flag. Unique is fine. Zani-level “must own this exact 5★ partner or the kit dies” is not. Watch for:
self-shield loops vs teammate-gated shields
Heavy Attack share (Iuno’s Outro buffs this hard)
mono Fusion routes with Lupa / Brant
ER or Forte awkwardness on the level of early Brant complaints
How to decide your Jingran pull
Step 1: Lock one 3.6 goal. Qingxiao Phase 1 or Jingran Phase 2. Chasing both new carries plus every rerun partner empties F2P banks. Use the 3.6 pull guide for phase math.
Step 2: Pre-farm what cannot lie. Lamp of Nether Road 3-cost / 1-cost pieces with Crit DMG and HP% substats. Hold Tuners for a possible new 4-cost.
Step 3: Score your supports. Own Iuno? Heavy Attack Jingran looks cheaper. Own Lupa / Brant? Mono Fusion stays on the table. Only Shorekeeper / Verina? Wait for kit video before you force a premium second slot.
Step 4: Set a weapon rule before pity. Character first. Signature second. Skip weapon banner if you still need a healer or a second Tower team.
Step 5: Spend Astrite after the special program. Attribute reveals answered Echo ownership. They did not answer multipliers.
How to get more Astrite before his banner
Finish Version 3.5 Mengzhou exploration and limited events while the one-time Astrite still sits on the map.
Clear Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes on schedule; partial crests still pay.
Redeem livestream and permanent codes the day they drop.
Buy the Lunite Subscription before bulk packs if you spend at all.
Close a pity gap with VGTopup Wuthering Waves top-up (UID only, no password) once you pick Phase 1 or Phase 2.
Cross-check whether your current roster still clears endgame on the 3.3 tier list so you do not panic-pull mid-patch.
FAQ
Is Jingran doomed because he is Fusion Broadblade?
No. Fusion Broadblade assigns him Lamp of Nether Road and a Max HP / shield identity. Unusual path. Not a power death sentence.
Does Jingran scale with HP?
Current kit talk and the Lamp of Nether Road 2-piece both point to Max HP scaling. Treat ATK% Echo main stats as dead weight until Kuro posts official skill text.
Should you pull Jingran or Qingxiao in 3.6?
Pull the carry that finishes a team you lack. Qingxiao leans Aero Tune Strain with Denia / Mornye. Jingran leans Fusion Heavy Attack with Iuno / Shorekeeper-type supports. Full schedules sit on the 3.6 banner page.
Do you need Iuno for Jingran?
Not proven. Shield + Heavy Attack theorycraft likes her. A self-sufficient shield loop would let him run cheaper second slots. Wait for the kit showcase before you burn a second guarantee.
Can you pre-farm Jingran Echoes now?
Yes. Farm Lamp of Nether Road and level Rustfire Chassis as a temporary 4-cost. Leave spare Tuners for a dedicated Version 3.6 Echo if Kuro ships one.
Conclusion
Jingran enters Version 3.6 as a Fusion Broadblade with a farmable shield Echo set and a thinner weapon shelf than a normal ATK carry. Budget one finished team, wait for the special program before you burn pity, and check back here when beta numbers land. Top up Lunites on VGTopup only after you pick the banner you will finish.
