Offers an extra 10% CRIT Rate over the other Aero sets such as Gusts of Welkin or Sierra Gale, providing extra overall damage so long as Aero Erosion is present on the enemy.

Jiyan build summary

Verdant Summit is the weapon to build around. Without it, Thunderflare Dominion, Ages of Harvest and Kumokiri are the next picks, in that order. Aureate Zenith is the budget option.

On the Windward Pilgrimage set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Aero DMG on the 3-cost, ATK% ≥ Aero DMG on the 3-cost and ATK% on both 1-costs. Substats in priority order: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > ATK = Heavy DMG%.

The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S6 (+120% Liberation DMG), S3 (+32% CRIT DMG) and S2 (+28% ATK). Level Res. Liberation → Forte Circuit → Res. Skill → Intro Skill → Basic Attack.

Ascension needs 46× Roaring Rock Fist above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
