Jean is an Anemo healer who can also knock away enemies with her Elemental Skill. Her Elemental Burst is the source of her healing, making her reliant on her Burst, but her Passive offsets the Energy consumption by refunding 20% of the consumed Energy. Jean's Elemental Burst has a special interaction with Elements applied to the character by Swirling them and spreading them to nearby enemies.

Best Weapon for Jean
Jean performs best with weapons that boost her ATK or Energy Recharge. Weapons that can restore Energy or generate Energy Particles are particularly effective for her.
Premium Weapons for Jean
Weapon
How to GetRating
Best
Freedom-Sworn
Get from Limited Banner- Kazuha's Signature Weapon that can only be pulled for when he's also on rate-up.- Gives an additional buff for Jean's support abilities and has a high Base ATK for better healing.
2nd
Favonius Sword
Get from Banners- The high Energy Recharge stat allows Jean to gain more Energy per particle, and its passive effect also generates Energy Particles.- Has a lower Base ATK than 5-Star weapons, but the effect and ER stat are great for maintaining her Burst uptime.
3rd
Aquila Favonia
Get from Banners- Physical DMG stat doesn't do much for Jean but the Base ATK is high and works great for her healing.
4th
Skyward Blade
Get from Banners- Works best as a stat stick for Energy Recharge and ATK.
Jean's best support weapon is Freedom-Sworn, but Favonius Sword is also an excellent option due to its support passive. The other premium weapons she can use mostly function as stat sticks for Energy Recharge or ATK, though some F2P weapons are better in that regard.
Free-to-Play Friendly (F2P Weapons) for Jean
Weapon
How to GetRating
Best F2P
Amenoma Kageuchi
Inazuma Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon- The ATK main stat increases Jean's healing.- For each Elemental Skill Jean uses, this weapon restores up to 12 flat Energy when she uses her Elemental Burst. This effect is more effective at Refinement Rank 5 (R5).
2nd (Forge)
Serenity's Call
Nod-Krai Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon- Best Energy Recharge stat stick and has the same ER given as Favonius Sword.- Doesn't need Max Refines since Jean doesn't benefit from the HP buff.
3rd (Forge)
Finale Of The Deep
Fontaine Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon- ATK stat stick for boosting Jean's ATK.- Has a Bond Of Life effect when using her Elemental Skill but she can easily clear it by using her Burst.- Needs R5 for maximum ATK increase.
Jean's best F2P weapons are those that can increase both ATK and Energy Recharge for her. Amenoma is craftable and should be prioritized due to its ability to buff ATK and restore Energy for Jean.
All Weapon List
Jean Best Artifacts
Jean's best set is Viridescent Venerer since it allows her to shred enemy resistances. But she can also make use of healing focused sets. See the recommendations below:
Artifact
RecommendationDetails
Viridescent Venerer
★★★★★ - The best set for Jean's support abilities, as it allows her to shred enemy Resistances.- This allows Pyro, Hydro, Electro, and Cryo characters to deal more damage.
Song Of Days Past
★★★★☆- The second-best support set. It increases Jean's healing and converts it into a damage buff for teammates.
Ocean-Hued Clam
★★★★☆ - A damage-oriented healing set that increases Jean's healing and allows it to deal Physical DMG based on the amount healed (including overflow).
Any Healing Bonus%Any ATK%
★★★☆☆- The best 2-piece set combinations for increasing Jean's healing are ATK% and Healing Bonus sets.- An Energy Recharge 2-piece set can also be used, but this stat is easily obtained from her weapon and artifact main stats.
Recommended Artifact Stats
Main: Flat HP Sub: CRIT Rate (with Favonius Sword) / ATK% / Energy Recharge
If you're using Favonius Sword on Jean, first ensure she has enough CRIT Rate. After that, focus on building her ATK and Energy Recharge so she can consistently use her Burst and maximize her healing.

- As a VV holder and healer, Jean is best used as a support for any PHEC damage dealer like Mavuika.- Furina is one of her best teammates as well since Jean's healing can help Furina gain Fanfare stacks faster.- Citlali is used as Melt support for Mavuika and can hold Scroll set to allow Jean to use a healing set instead.
Jean is best used to support any PHEC DPS who doesn't have team restrictions. Mavuika as the current top DPS for Pyro and can benefit from her healing and Furina's faster Fanfare generation. While Jean can support Lunar-Charged teams, she doesn't provide much aside from healing and RES shred when Sucrose can buff EM to boost the damage more.

Basic Team Rotation for Jean
Basic Rotation for Jean (with Viridescent Venerer)
1. Use Support and Sub-DPS character abilities.2. Apply the element you want to Swirl for the VV debuff.3. Switch to Jean and use her Elemental Skill then Burst.4. Switch to the DPS character.
As a VV holder, Jean should be used right before your main DPS, since the VV debuff has a short duration. However, if she isn't using the VV set, refer to the non-VV rotation below.
Non-VV Rotation for Jean
When not equipped with the VV set, Jean's rotation is flexible and depends on the team composition. For example, if she is paired with Furina, use Jean's abilities after Furina's. In a Sunfire team, use Jean after Bennett.

Summary Of Effect
Viridescent Venerer
For Shred Support Jean[ 2-PC Set Effect: ]- Anemo DMG Bonus +15%.[ 4-PC Set Effect: ]- Swirl DMG +60%. Shreds RES of the swirled element by 40% for 10s.
Song Of Days Past
For Healer Support Jean[ 2-PC Set Effect: ]- Healing Bonus +15%.[ 4-PC Set Effect: ]- Gains Yearning effect based on healing including overflow healing (15,000 Max) for 6s. Buffs active character's damage based on 8% of healing recorded by Yearning effect.
Jean's Anemo element makes her a great character to equip the Viridescent Venerer set and support any Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo characters. Since she is also a healer, she can function as both a RES shred support and a healer, or be built as a full healer with a healing-focused set.
Scales on ATK
Jean's damage and healing both scale with her ATK. While her Elemental Skill is a good source of damage, it's still weaker compared to dedicated damage dealers. Building her with two ATK% main stats on her artifacts is a viable option, but you can also use an Energy Recharge Sands since her healing primarily comes from her Burst.
Reliant on Elemental Burst for Healing
Jean's healing mostly comes from her Elemental Burst's activation and healing field but her Normal Attacks have a chance to restore some HP to her teammates. Her Burst has a high Energy cost of 80, but you can use Favonius Sword and funnel the particles from her Skill to herself to reliably use her Burst every rotation.
Passive Offsets Energy Recharge Requirements
One of Jean's passive talents refunds 20% of the Energy cost when she uses her Elemental Burst. This makes it easier to use her Burst again in subsequent rotations.
Burst's Field Has a Special Interaction
The field from Jean's Elemental Burst applies Anemo to characters continuously and deals Anemo DMG to enemies entering or exiting the field. When paired with Bennett's Burst, which continuously applies Pyro to the active character, she can enable the "Sunfire" team composition that relies on this constant reapplication of Pyro for reactions.

How To Use?
▼ Anemo Healer With Powerful Healing
▼ Elemental Skill Can Knock Away and Lift Enemies
▼ Elemental Burst for Healing and Application Cleanse

▼ Normal Attacks Give Small RNG Healing
Anemo Healer With Powerful Healing
Jean is an Anemo healer that uses her Burst to provide instant healing and healing over time within its field. Since her Elemental Skill can apply Anemo, she can also be used as a VV support for Pyro, Hydro, Electro and Cryo characters.
Elemental Skill Can Knock Away And Lift Enemies
Jean's Elemental Skill is a unique skill that deals Fall DMG because it can lift enemies and throw them away. It can be used to throw enemies into a void or body of water, but there will be no enemy drops if the enemy dies that way.
Elemental Burst For Healing And Application Cleanse
Jean's Elemental Burst provides powerful instant healing and healing over time for characters within its range. It applies Anemo to the characters, which can erase any Elements applied on them as well as dealing Anemo DMG to enemies entering. When combined with Bennett's Burst applying Pyro, it can easily apply Pyro to enemies in range via Swirl reactions.
Refunds 20% Of Energy Used
Let The Wind Lead
Using Jean's Elemental Burst, Dandelion Breeze, will regenerate 20% of its Energy. (Refunds 16 Energy)
While Jean's Burst has a high Energy cost of 80, her Passive refunds 20% of the Energy consumed and she can hold Favonius Sword to generate Particles for the team.
Normal Attacks Give Small RNG Healing
Wind Companion
Jean's Normal Attacks hitting enemies will have a 50% chance to regenerate HP based on 15% of Jean's ATK for all teammates.
Another one of Jean's Passives gives her Normal Attacks a small chance to restore HP to the team. This makes her viable to use as an on-field healer, but since it's RNG-based, it is not a reliable reason for her to be on-field.
Should You Pull for Jean's Constellation Or Best Weapon?
Constellations Are Nice But Not Necessary
Constellation Priority
C4 > C2
C4 Provides Anemo RES Shred
While Jean has historically been featured on Chronicled Wish banners with Skyward Blade and Aquila Favonia, none are considered her Signature Weapon, especially since she is a Standard Banner character. Because of this, her constellations are the main way to improve her performance without relying on other characters or weapons. If she's featured on a Chronicled Wish banner and you want to boost her performance as an Anemo Support and Healer, consider pulling for her C4. This constellation decreases enemies' Anemo RES with her Burst, making it one of her best upgrades, but this is only recommended if you are willing to spend the resources to specifically get her constellations.
C2 has limited use-cases, but the Movement and Attack Speed it provides can still be a nice bonus, despite not being particularly impactful in most teams. In general, Jean is already great at C0, so you don't need to actively pull for her constellations. Consider any extra constellations you get as a welcome bonus.
Recommended Pull Priority
Primordial Jade Cutter > C4 > C2
Primordial Jade Cutter Is Good to Have On Any Account
In addition to being a universal 5-star sword with a CRIT Rate sub-stat, its passive converts HP into Attack, which directly benefits Jean since her abilities scale with her Attack stat. Jean also deals a decent amount of damage with her Skill and Burst, so the extra CRIT Rate is very useful. Pulling for the Primordial Jade Cutter is a sound decision for any account, and the fact that it's one of Jean's best options makes it a great investment.
While not as universally useful, the Freedom-Sworn is another good alternative due to the team-wide buffs it provides. Fewer characters can make full use of Freedom-Sworn, so it might not be a top priority to pull for. However, it can still be a decent option for Jean, especially if you also want the other weapon featured on its banner.

Who Is Jean?
Current Acting Grand Master Of The Knights Of Favonius
Jean is the current acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, sworn protectors of the city of Monstadt. She took on the role after Varka left for the expedition to Nod-Krai.
Part Of The Gunnhildr Clan
Jean is one of the members of the Gunnhildr clan, one of Mondstadt's prominent families that rose after Barbatos overthrew Decarabian with the Gunnhildr's help. The clan also helped establish the new city of Mondstadt.
Elder Sister Of Barbara
Jean is the older sister of Barbara, however, it is noticeable that they do not share the same last name. This is due to their parents getting divorced. Jean stayed with her Gunnhildr mother, while Barbara left with their Pegg father.
