Hey, fellow Rovers! Can you believe it's already 2026? Time flies when you're exploring the Black Shores! 🏝️✨ Remember the epic Jiyan banner from back in the day? Well, for all the new players who joined us after the massive 2.0 update, let's take a nostalgic trip and talk about one of the most sought-after characters in WuWa history. Pulling for limited characters is always a thrill, and Jiyan's debut was absolutely legendary. If you're building your dream team from the archives, knowing about these classic powerhouses is key!

🌪️ Who is Jiyan, The Unrivaled Windblade?

Let's get straight to the point: Jiyan was a meta-defining 5-star Aero Broadblade user. Why was he so hyped? Simple: insane damage and smooth combos that made him a joy to play. His kit revolved around building up his special energy to unleash his ultimate form—the Qingloong Mode. Once transformed, he became an absolute monster on the battlefield. Think swirling tornados of pure power! 🐉💨

Here’s a quick breakdown of why veterans loved him:

• Element: Aero

• Role: Main DPS / Hypercarry

• Best-in-Slot Echo: Feilian Beringal (for that massive damage boost!)

• Voice: The iconic Alex Jordan

His banner, 'Prevail the Lasting Night,' was a true event. And the best part? He came with his perfect partner-in-crime...

⚔️ Verdant Summit: Jiyan's Signature Sword

What's a legendary warrior without his legendary weapon? Verdant Summit wasn't just any 5-star Broadblade; it was crafted for Jiyan. This sword synergized perfectly with his playstyle.

Key Stats & Effects:

• Energy Regen Boost: +12.8% (Faster Qingloong Mode activation? Yes, please!)

• Heavy Attack DMG Bonus: +24% (Making his biggest hits even bigger!)

Pulling for a character is one thing, but getting their signature weapon? That's when they truly shine. The 'Absolute Pulsation' weapon banner had your back with a boosted rate for Verdant Summit!

❄️ Meet Youhu: The Quirky 4-Star Treasure

Alongside Jiyan, we got the adorable and unique Youhu, a 4-star Glacio Gauntlet user. She wasn't your typical support! Her whole gimmick was based on Quick Time Events (QTEs) where she'd pull random "Antiques" from her bag, each with a different effect. It added a fun layer of strategy to combat!

Youhu's Bag of Tricks (Her Antiques):

Antique	Effect
Chime	Decreases enemy Vibration Strength
Ding	Knocks enemies out of their stance
Mask	Pulls enemies towards it (Great crowd control!)
Ruyi	Straight-up increases damage dealt

Plus, her Skill could heal teammates! She was designed as a fantastic sub-DPS/support to rotate in, set up her antiques, and boost your main damage dealer (like, oh, I don't know... Jiyan? 😉).

And guess what? She got her own signature 4-star weapon too—the Celestial Spiral. It granted Resonance Energy after using her Skill and boosted her ATK, making her an even better partner for your carries.

🎯 The Pulling Strategy: How to Get Them

Okay, so you're convinced. But how did the gacha system work for this banner? Let's break it down.

You needed two types of currency:

1. Radiant Tides → For pulling on the Resonator Convene (Jiyan & Youhu's banner).

2. Forging Tides → For pulling on the Weapon Convene (Verdant Summit & Celestial Spiral's banner).

The Pity System (Your Best Friend):

• 5-Star Guarantee: The pity for a 5-star was at 80 pulls. However, the first 5-star you got had a 50/50 chance of being the featured one (Jiyan or his sword). If you lost the 50/50, the next 5-star was guaranteed to be the featured one. Planning your savings was crucial!

• 4-Star Luck: Every 10 pulls guaranteed a 4-star item. This made getting Youhu and the new Celestial Spiral weapon much more achievable!

Pro Tip: Always activate the Convene function first (after Union Level 8 or the First Resonance trial). Don't waste your precious Tides on the standard banner when a limited one is up!

💎 Final Thoughts & Legacy

Looking back from 2026, the WuWa 1.3 Phase 2 banners were a fantastic value package. You had a chance at a top-tier 5-star DPS, his best weapon, a fun and supportive new 4-star character, and her tailored weapon. Events like these shaped the early meta and gave us so many iconic team compositions.

While Jiyan's original run is long over, understanding these past banners helps us appreciate the game's evolution. Who knows? With anniversaries and special events, some of these classics might make a comeback someday! Until then, keep saving those Tides, Rovers. The next game-changing banner is always just around the corner! 🎊
