Find out the best weapons and artifacts for the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonious in our Jean Best Build Guide.

Jean is a 5-Star Anemo character in Genshin Impact. Jean, also known as the Dandelion Knight, is the ever-serious Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius of Mondstadt. She is a proficient DPS or support character who wields a sword and harnesses the force of the wind, depending on your choice. She is very powerful and is quite high on our Genshin Impact Tier List. You can also check out our Klee Best Build Guide and Ganyu Best Build Guide.

Jean is significantly better as a DPS character than as a support character, but she is competent in both. We suggest pairing her with Venti for a more slow depletion of stamina. Jean’s talent priority falls on the talent of hers you’ll be using the most. Her Elemental Burst, which provides both healing and damage, is a must-have for practically every build. Her Elemental Skill, on the other hand, shouldn’t be too far behind her Burst in terms of level, as it’s beneficial for any build. Regardless, you’ll only use her Normal Attack occasionally, so keep the level of this talent low or disregard it entirely.
