Jiuyuan

Anima Arc Class I Tier S
Jiuyuan in 30 seconds

A versatile sub-DPS/AoE unit, easy to play, with convenient healing; but needs dupes to hit hard — F2P players can still use her well as an enabler.

Best Jiuyuan build

Role

Sub-DPS / Crowd Control (Nature/Anima). A burst quickswap unit: enters her combo once energy and special ammo are full; her Blossom Cycle Enhancement doubles Blossom on the field, gathers enemies, and provides healing via Lethal Rose Pact (Attachment damage).

Consensus S group: Western sources put her near the top (T0.5), Japanese lists at S. A flexible kit that's both DPS and support with strong AoE; she needs dupes to reach her ceiling — leaning A without them.

Best Arcs (ranked)
  1. 1Blow up the Crowd BiS Community meta sources rank this #1 (class ONE, S) — suits Jiuyuan's AoE enemy-gathering playstyle.
  2. 2Reality Refuge Community meta sources' suggested pick (ONE, S): high ATK plus Anima DMG plus an Attachment damage buff, matching Lethal Rose Pact which counts as Attachment. 2 sources DISAGREE — lean toward Reality Refuge for an Attachment-focused build, or Blow up the Crowd for a standard-AoE build.
  3. 3The Forgotten A-rank alternative pick (ONE, A) per community meta sources.
Best module sets
  • 4 Fireflies and the Forest Anima set: [2] Anima DMG +10%; [4] +8% CRIT DMG per nearby enemy taking Anima DMG, up to 7 stacks — explosive with multi-target Blossom.
  • 4 Shadow Creed An ATK-leaning alternative for when you don't have enough of the main set.
Stat priority

Main stats: ATK% › Anima DMG

Substats: CRIT Rate › CRIT DMG › ATK%

Verdict confidence: medium — set/stat build converges (Fireflies + ATK/CRIT), but the main arc disagrees between Western and Japanese tier lists, so both are listed.
