HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 1.2% of the wielder's Max HP.

Limited 5★ — R1 already unlocks the kit. R5 is a large passive jump but an expensive vertical investment; only refine if this is a signature you play every abyss.

From characters who rank this weapon in their top two options.

Furina

Jean #1

Neuvillette
Furina
Fischl

As mentioned before, Jean has the ability to keep Furina's Fanfare stacks up, making them good teammates. The two other slots can be filled with a powerful main DPS such as Neuvillette or Raiden Shogun for example, and a Sub-DPS. As long as they can benefit from Jean's healing and Furina's Hydro application, it will be a good choice.

Bennett
KA
Shenhe

Sunfire is the name for the specific interaction between Jean and Bennett's Elemental Burst abilities, with Bennett using his burst first, followed by Jean applying her burst. This unique reaction takes place because Bennett's burst applies a Pyro aura to the battlefield which is continually applied to your active character.

This combination consists in providing the best supports for your main DPS character. As a Healer, Jean can really fit into a lot of various compositions. She especially shines in Anemo focused teams, as she can serve as battery on top of the healing, while also providing with a lot of Anemo RES Shred.
