Yun Jin

Geo Polearm Tier A Support
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Yun Jin worth building?

Yun Jin isn't a plug-and-play support, but in teams built around fast Normal-Attack DPS like Yoimiya, Wanderer or Ayato her buff is genuinely huge. The best part is that she scales off DEF, so she's cheap to build: hit your Energy Recharge threshold, stack DEF%, and you're done, no CRIT hunting. Farm a 4pc Husk of Opulent Dreams and an ER lance like Favonius Lance first. If you don't run a multi-hit Normal-Attack carry, she's niche, so think twice before pulling.

Yun Jin's talents

Cloud-Grazing Strike
Normal Attack
Performs up to 5 consecutive spear strikes.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Opening Flourish
#Ms. Yun may just be acting out fights on stage, but her skills with the spear are real enough to defend against her foes.

Press
Flourishes her polearm in a cloud-grasping stance, dealing Geo DMG.

Hold
Takes up the Opening Flourish stance and charges up, forming a shield. DMG Absorption is based on Yun Jin's Max HP and has 150% effectiveness against all Elemental DMG and Physical DMG. The shield lasts until she finishes unleashing her Elemental Skill.
When the skill is released, when its duration ends, or when the shield breaks, Yun Jin will unleash the charged energy as an attack, dealing Geo DMG.
Based on the time spent charging, it will either unleash an attack at Charge Level 1 or Level 2.

One glorious moment on-stage, a decade of preparation behind it.
Cliffbreaker's Banner
Deals AoE Geo DMG and grants all nearby party members a Flying Cloud Flag Formation.

Flying Cloud Flag Formation
When Normal Attack DMG is dealt to opponents, Bonus DMG will be dealt based on Yun Jin's current DEF.

The effects of this skill will be cleared after a set duration or after being triggered a specific number of times.
When one Normal Attack hits multiple opponents, the effect is triggered multiple times according to the number of opponents hit. The number of times that the effect is triggered is counted independently for each member of the party with Flying Cloud Flag Formation.

As the drums resound, as swords and halberds weave and clash, the doyenne is transformed into a mighty general.
As the instruments on stage strum in unison, lo, see how she vanquishes these demons!
True to Oneself
Using Opening Flourish at the precise moment when Yun Jin is attacked will unleash its Level 2 Charged (Hold) form.
Breaking Conventions
The Normal Attack DMG Bonus granted by Flying Cloud Flag Formation is further increased by 2.5%/5%/7.5%/11.5% of Yun Jin's DEF when the party contains characters of 1/2/3/4 Elemental Types, respectively.
Light Nourishment
When Perfect Cooking is achieved on Food with Adventure-related effects, there is a 12% chance to obtain double the product.

Combat Rotation

  1. Hold Elemental Skill (Opening Flourish) to charge the polearm stance, forming a DMG-absorbing shield.
  2. Release the charged Skill for AoE Geo DMG before the shield duration ends.
  3. Unleash Elemental Burst (Cliffbreaker's Banner), costing 60 Energy, for AoE Geo DMG and grant the whole party Flying Cloud Flag Formation.
  4. Swap to your main DPS immediately after the Burst.
  5. Have the main DPS chain Normal Attacks to trigger Flying Cloud Flag Formation, dealing bonus DMG scaled off Yun Jin's DEF.
  6. Keep attacking until the Formation's trigger count or duration runs out.
  7. Rotate back to Yun Jin to recharge Energy and repeat the Skill to Burst cycle on cooldown.

Voice Lines & Comments

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

Birthday

Oh, so today's your birthday? Well, I wouldn't know how to throw you a feast if I tried... so how about I sing you a song? For you alone, an audience of one. So... what song would you like to hear me sing? The choice is yours.

Self-Introduction

Hello

As the saying goes, you never truly know someone until you meet them in person, and at long last, I finally have the great honor of meeting you today. My name is Yun Jin, and I am humbled to be the director of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe. We have been performing at Heyu Tea House as of late, and we'd be honored to have you attend a performance sometime.

About Yun Jin: Schooling

My schooling started very early. In fact, my earliest memories are of my father teaching me to read. Despite my best efforts, my ability is not half of his. Enough to write operas, but compared to his level of erudition, I still have much to strive for.

About Yun Jin: Opera Training

In her youth, my mother was a famous opera singer in Liyue Harbor, and I learned all the operas I know from her. But, you could never imagine how strict she was with me as a teacher. Thinking back on it now, I... *sigh* No, no, no, I'd rather not think about it at all.

More About Yun Jin: I

Many of the operas we've been performing recently are new ones that I wrote after assuming the directorship of the troupe. I suppose the fact that I can both write and sing my own material has contributed to my rising popularity in Liyue Harbor.

More About Yun Jin: II

Per the tradition, actors must wrap their hair, put on full-face makeup and an elaborate costume, and make all sorts of other preparations before they take the stage. There's no doubt that an opera star in full attire looks spectacular, but achieving this look is frightfully exhausting. So I perform without hair and makeup whenever I have the option — and if I must perform in full dress, I try to select a costume that isn't too heavy. Fortunately, the good folks at Heyu Tea House are quite lenient with us. Otherwise, we'd be working ourselves to early graves.

More About Yun Jin: III

At the start of my opera career, I have to say I did let the standing ovations from our audiences go to my head a little. It wasn't long before I developed a captious attitude... If I didn't like the script, or if the stage was too small, or if I thought there weren't enough people in the audience, I would refuse to perform. Looking back now, it was all terribly arrogant of me... my goodness. I shall never let myself become so vain again.

More About Yun Jin: IV

Now that I think about it, the Yun-Han Opera Troupe has been under my leadership for quite some time now. Before taking it over, I only knew two things: how to write opera and how to perform it on stage. I never gave any thought to how to run a troupe. Becoming the troupe's director gave me a crash course in this unfamiliar area and I've experienced all the highs and lows of working with people along the way... Only now do I understand that life mirrors opera, just as opera reflects life.

More About Yun Jin: V

Well you know, many of Liyue's legends are centered around stories of gods and the adepti, so most operas focus on the supernatural, too. A prime example would be "The Divine Damsel of Devastation," which we have been performing recently. Long-time opera fans adore this sort of material, but in this age of humanity, I would rather like to tell stories about ordinary people. Yes, how grand it would be to sing about the hopes and dreams of ordinary people for all to hear. I've never shared these thoughts with anyone before... Thank you for listening so patiently. I'm fortunate to have a close friend like you.

About Us: Opera Troupe

We have some grand performances coming up soon, and it just so happens that we have an opening for someone to play the part of a skilled swordfighter. I think you'd be a perfect match for the part. How about it? Would you like to join our troupe? We can even enjoy some tea together in between acts.

About Us: Rock 'n' Roll

Huh? You like rock 'n' roll? Oh, that's great! I'll be sure to bring you along the next time I go out to see a show. And when I get back, I can just tell the senior troupe members that I went out to visit you... Hehe, that way, they won't have any reason to get on my case about going out.

Thoughts About Other Characters

Xinyan

The elders of the troupe are always harping on about rock 'n' roll being a bad influence. Needless to say, they never approve of me going to see Xinyan's shows. "It's for your own good," they say. Hmph, all it's really about is their inability to accept anything new. Whatever, those old fogies can't tell me what to do. I'm going to keep rocking out at Xinyan's gigs, every week, and that's that.

Hu Tao

Ah yes, Hu Tao. Very expressive face, and she has a sharp mind too — you can be discussing the most mundane thing in the world, and she'll always bring out a string of witty remarks. I admire her a lot. There's never a dull moment when you have friends like her around.

Zhongli

The customs of the opera are very particular, and are passed down from generation to generation. Sometimes I find that I only know the hows but not the whys behind what we do. But when speaking with Zhongli, it is abundantly evident that he knows the origins behind almost everything. Who wouldn't be delighted to have such a connoisseur in their audience?

Ningguang

The Tianquan is a big spender and has made several very generous donations to our troupe. I can only return her generosity by delivering my best possible performance.

Xingqiu

Oh, so you are also acquainted with Xingqiu? Haha, he is quite the clever one, and with a sharp wit as well. The moment you let your guard down, you're at risk of becoming the butt of one of his practical jokes... Don't say I didn't warn you.

Shenhe

I have long since known "The Divine Damsel of Devastation" inside out, back to front, but it was only very recently that I learned that the "divine damsel" in question is actually a real person. Life is full of strange twists sometimes! My only hope is that she can find true friendship and never be lonely again.

Keqing

I have yet to see the Yuheng ever attend an opera performance. Now that I think about it, whenever I happen to see her out on the street, she always seems to be in a great hurry.

Kaedehara Kazuha

Kaedehara Kazuha is among the many outlanders who enjoy Liyue opera. Whether it's an orchestral section or a percussive piece, he always sits there and listens quietly. Talk about great manners!

Hobbies & Personality

Yun Jin's Hobbies

My hobbies? Well, opera, of course! It's what I truly love and it's what I will be pursuing for the rest of my life.

Yun Jin's Troubles

*sigh* Well, as you can probably imagine, I always have to be mindful of what I eat and make sure I stay in shape. It's a shame, because the temptation to indulge in all the tasty delicacies the city has to offer is just as strong to me as to anyone else...

Favorite Food

Tianshu Meat, Black-Back Perch Stew, Cured Pork Dry Hotpot... Oh, I just want them all! Unfortunately, I basically never get to eat such things, but... um, if you don't mind me asking... Can you cook any of those dishes?

Least Favorite Food

Every day's the same... Stir-Fried Shrimp, day in and day out. No matter how they prepare it, it always tastes the same. Ugh, ghastly! I really can't stand it anymore...

Feelings About Ascension

Feelings About Ascension: Intro

As the saying goes: "Achievement in a field is the result of how hard you are willing to work at it, not how much you enjoy it."

Feelings About Ascension: Building Up

It looks like all my rigorous training is finally paying off.

Feelings About Ascension: Climax

I began my training in the art of the spear hoping to enhance my performance in stage combat. I stuck with it hoping to master the techniques of self-defense. Today, it looks like I have finally achieved both of these goals.

Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion

The art of the spear is a vast and profound discipline... There is an almost infinite number of things one can learn. I am glad to have had you by my side during my training. Haha, I believe I've grasped the basics now. I daresay you'd better be careful when we're sparring together in the future.

Receiving a Gift

Receiving a Gift: I

Mmm! There's no better feeling than indulging in your favorite food... It's a shame that I can only afford to have a little bite.

Receiving a Gift: II

Oh, what a magnificent feast! Wait a second, I'll grab us some drinks to accompany the meal.

Receiving a Gift: III

I'm sorry... This meal isn't really agreeing with me.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths
  • At Lv90, Yun Jin already gets +26,7% Energy Recharge baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
  • Can shield the team via Opening Flourish.
  • The core mechanic (via Opening Flourish) scales with HP — HP% is also an easy-to-find substat, and the character usually comes with high survivability too.
  • 4★ (Polearm) — obtainable via the standard wish/banner, no need to pull on a limited banner.
Weaknesses
  • Since it scales with HP (via Opening Flourish), it can't share ATK%-geared artifacts with other DPS — needs a separate HP-focused artifact/weapon set.
  • 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.
