Anemo Sword Tier S Support
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Jean worth building?

Jean is one of the most rewarding supports any account can raise: she heals while holding a 4pc Viridescent Venerer to shred elemental resistance for your main DPS. If you're new, a Favonius Sword or the craftable Amenoma Kageuchi is plenty, no 5-star needed. Build enough Energy Recharge to burst on cooldown first, then chase crit. A well-built Jean will carry you through most of the game.

Jean's talents

Favonius Bladework
Normal Attack
Performs up to 5 consecutive strikes.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of stamina to launch an opponent using the power of wind.
Launched opponents will slowly fall to the ground.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Gale Blade
Focusing the might of the formless wind around her blade, Jean releases a miniature storm, launching opponents in the direction she aims at, dealing massive Anemo DMG.

Hold
At the cost of continued stamina consumption, Jean can command the whirlwind to pull surrounding opponents and objects towards her front.
Direction can be adjusted.
Character is immobile during skill duration.

That which follows Jean, the wholehearted defender, is a guardian wind that can banish danger from her comrades' presence.
Dandelion Breeze
Calling upon the wind's protection, Jean creates a swirling Dandelion Field, launching surrounding opponents and dealing Anemo DMG.
At the same time, she instantly regenerates a large amount of HP for all party members. The amount of HP restored scales off Jean's ATK.

Dandelion Field
·Continuously regenerates HP of characters within the AoE and continuously imbues them with Anemo.
·Deals Anemo DMG to opponents entering or exiting the Dandelion Field.

Jean's magnanimity is as vast as the dandelion fields, and it is the root of her wish to protect others.
Wind Companion
On hit, Jean's Normal Attacks have a 50% chance to regenerate HP equal to 15% of Jean's ATK for all party members.
Let the Wind Lead
Using Dandelion Breeze will regenerate 20% of its Energy.
Guiding Breeze
When a Perfect Cooking is achieved on a dish with restorative effects, there is a 12% chance to obtain double the product.

Combat Rotation

  1. Open with Gale Blade (E, 6s CD) to pull enemies together and land an immediate Anemo hit.
  2. Weave in the 5-hit Normal Attack combo along with Charged Attacks as Jean's main damage source, since she's a sword-wielding attacker.
  3. Once you've built up 80 Energy, unleash Dandelion Breeze (Q) to drop a healing wind field and deal Anemo DMG as enemies enter or leave it.
  4. If playing her as support/sub-DPS, swap in another character to stand inside the Dandelion Field and trigger repeated Swirl reactions.
  5. Fire E again the moment it's off cooldown (6s) to keep grouping enemies or interrupt their attacks between combo strings.
  6. Try to swap back to Jean before the Q field expires so your team keeps getting healed, and remember Let the Wind Lead refunds 20% Energy every time you cast Q.
  7. Repeat the loop of E → Normal/Charged Attacks → Q once energy is full, and don't waste E's pull when there's nothing nearby to group.

Voice Lines & Comments

Official HoYoverse Fetter voice-lines — the character introducing themselves, commenting on allies, sharing likes and their birthday.

Birthday

Today is a day worth celebrating. If you must ask why, well, let me remind you that today is when you, the one who is blessed by the wind, came into the world. Since this is your birthday, I'll allow you to take it easy. Ahem... ♪Happy birthday to you...♪ Uh... Please forgive my presumptuousness. I hope this gift is to your liking.

Self-Introduction

Hello

I am Jean, the Dandelion Knight, requesting approval to join your party. From this day onwards, my honor and loyalty lie with you.

About Jean

Today I had no choice but to cut down five Ruin Guards to protect the people of our city... Ugh, I must continue to work harder. Though hostile, destroying such precious artifacts is still a loss to us all. I must find a less destructive way to bring them down next time...

More About Jean: I

I shoulder the knights' trust and the people's hope. It is for this reason, I must stay vigilant.

More About Jean: II

Vennessa's title — "Dandelion Knight" — has been passed down from generation to generation. Countless great knights were awarded with this honor and I will not bring shame to this name. Thus, I must keep going. I must become the sword and aegis of the people.

More About Jean: III

Only glorious victories are recorded in legends and history books. Surely even the great knights of old must have had their struggles? Wind, please show me the path.

More About Jean: IV

When I'm wholeheartedly devoted to my work, all of my troubles and even my sense of time seem to just slip away. Hmm, Grand Master Varka did say to me: "Jean, there is no better candidate for this task"...

More About Jean: V

As I walk with you, the path ahead becomes clearer. It's almost as if I have finally found someone I can trust. I wonder if... No, this must mean that I am still lacking in strength... I must not give up, I will not — I cannot fail the Knights and the people of Mondstadt. Still... thank you.

About Us: Creed

You have my complete and full support. Of course, if your path ever deviates from justice, I will not hesitate to point it out.

About Us: Oath

I swear by this sword, victory shall be yours.

About Us: Quest

Our work will not handle itself... But, I suppose the occasional short break is warranted. Let us rest for a couple of minutes.

Thoughts About Other Characters

Barbara

Barbara is a hard worker, but I feel she's too hard on herself sometimes... What? You ask me how I know all of this? It's because the order also manages the Church.

Lisa

When Lisa is around, I always have peace of mind.

Amber

I must say that Amber's development has impressed me recently. I hope that one day, her deeds will become the words of a bard's tale.

Kaeya

Is that right...? Kaeya also gave you some suggestions. He is an excellent knight after all — this is a fact no one can deny.

Klee

Though it may be said that it is in a child's nature to play, the things Klee plays with are far from toys. I can never take my eye off her.

Albedo

Sometimes I feel that terms like "genius" were originally created for Albedo.

Varka

Grand Master Varka is the legend of his generation. On the day of his triumphant return, I shall be sure to personally introduce you to him. I'm sure you too will be in awe of his greatness.

Noelle

Noelle... She puts enormous effort into trying to become a Knight of Favonius. However, I fear she is not quite ready for the dangers that lie beyond Mondstadt's walls.

Rosaria

Some may see Sister Rosaria as one who complains about how bothersome her work is, but she does her job well. Last time I saw her I told her she could come find me should she ever need help, to which she simply replied that doing so would be even more bothersome. I need to work harder to become of more assistance to the people of Mondstadt.

Diluc

Master Diluc has his reasons for being so critical of the Knights of Favonius. I am not proud of the way things went, but I cannot change the past. All I can do is keep working hard, in the hope he may one day see us in a better light... This is my duty.

Diluc

Master Diluc is my senior, and I have the utmost respect for him. Though we have gone separate ways, I can sense we share the same strong commitment to protecting Mondstadt at all costs.

Sucrose

Sucrose is also a rare talent in the field of alchemy. Under Albedo's mentorship, she is sure to flourish. I am sure her future will be bright. The only thing is... Ahem, I was momentarily lost in thought. It is nothing. Nothing bad, anyway.

Eula

Eula? Um... Please, do not hold her unfortunate background against her. The Knights of Favonius evaluate each person impartially. Eula has a clear sense of right and wrong and is more talented than most. The controversial statements that she makes from time to time are just a product of her personality. For instance, she always mentions wanting to challenge me, but I don't mind.

Mika

The Grand Master placed Mika on the front line of the expedition team not simply because he met the requirements of the mission — more importantly, he was impressed by Mika's hardworking and grounded nature. From my own perspective, I feel very honored to work with someone like him.

Hobbies & Personality

Jean's Hobbies

Maybe we can discuss the tales of legendary heroes. Have you heard the story of the heroic king of Khaenri'ah?

Jean's Troubles

If only there was some kind of mysterious potion that could keep me awake forever... I need to have a talk with Lisa tomorrow.

Favorite Food

It's been ages since I had pizza at Cat's Tail. If only they delivered...

Least Favorite Food

A true knight can't afford to be a picky eater.

Feelings About Ascension

Feelings About Ascension: Intro

Good. On to our next objective.

Feelings About Ascension: Building Up

As the wind continues to blow, so too shall I continue to fight.

Feelings About Ascension: Climax

Although we have peace, we must not become complacent. As the Acting Grand Master, I must remain vigilant.

Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion

I am still not good enough. Ever since I met you, I have been indebted to you for your assistance. My gratitude... Wind, please forgive my selfishness. Not as the Acting Grand Master, but as Jean — I hereby swear that my sword shall always go with you.

Receiving a Gift

Receiving a Gift: I

Not only is the taste magnificent, but you've also made sure it was healthy. You have my gratitude.

Receiving a Gift: II

Hmm yes, I feel a lot more energetic now, thanks to you.

Receiving a Gift: III

Ahem... all in all, I appreciate the effort.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths
  • At Lv90, Jean already gets +22,1% Healing Bonus baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
  • Has crowd-control (knockback/pull/freeze/stun…) via Gale Blade.
  • Buffs the whole team's DMG/stats via People's Aegis, with no elemental restriction on party composition.
Weaknesses
  • The ascension stat isn't CRIT Rate/DMG — this kit isn't built to carry the team's main damage, fitting a support/sub-DPS role better than a main carry.
  • 5★ (Sword) — only available on limited/character-specific banners, not on the standard wish.
