Character Overview
Jinhsi is a top-tier 5-star Spectro DPS who utilizes Spectro DMG and Spectro Frazzle mechanics. As the Magistrate of Jinzhou, she commands powerful Spectro energy through her Broadblade, dealing massive area-of-effect damage while applying the Spectro Frazzle status to enemies.
Her unique mechanic revolves around building Incandescence stacks through her Normal Attacks and Resonance Skill, then consuming them to unleash devastating Resonance Liberation damage. At S0, she is already one of the strongest DPS characters in the game, with her power scaling excellently into higher Resonance Chains.
Jinhsi excels in both Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes content, providing consistent high damage output with strong burst potential during her Liberation windows.

Rotation Guide (Premium Team)
- Start with Shorekeeper: Cast Resonance Skill to apply buffs, build Concerto Energy.
- Swap to Changli: Apply Fusion DMG, cast Skill and Liberation to generate Concerto.
- Swap to Jinhsi (Intro): Applies Spectro Frazzle and gains initial Incandescence.
- Build Incandescence: Normal Attack combo (4 hits) + Resonance Skill = 5 stacks.
- Repeat NA combo: Build to 10 stacks (2 full rotations).
- Cast Liberation at 10 stacks: Max damage output with Illuminated State bonus.
- Swap out: Trigger Outro skill, switch to Shorekeeper to restart cycle.
