Who is Jiyan in Wuthering Waves?

Jiyan in Wuthering Waves is a General who stands guard in the well-fortified city of Jinzhou. With an unwavering sense of justice and law, Jiyan bid farewell to his family’s tradition of medicine and took the job as a soldier to protect his city from Tacet Discords.

That’s all the information revealed about Jiyan and his general story so far. We’ll learn more as we approach closer to release, and we will update whenever more details are shared. 

When will Jiyan release in Wuthering Waves?

Kuro Games have not revealed Jiyan’s release date for Wuthering Waves, but since he is the limited banner character, we expect him to be part of the very first limited banner. So, it is likely that he’ll be released alongside the game on May 22, 2024. 

Jiyan Attribute & weapon

In Wuthering Waves, Jiyan is a five-star Aero Resonator and will wield a Broadblade. This means he’ll be manipulating Airflow, which is similar to Anemo in Genshin Impact.
