Jean is an Anemo sword type user that is a mix of both offense and support. The thing that makes her special is that she has a 50% chance to heal all your party members when she uses normal attacks, and it has no cooldown, and the heal scales off of her attack stat. This means that you can build her high attack DPS style and her heal will also end up getting stronger. Since she's an Anemo type, this will also help with elemental chaining since swirl will essentially work with most of the other elements by expanding them. Her elemental burst is also a 4 in one ability. It has burst heal and damage on initial cast, plus HP regen and Anemo damage for a few seconds within the field. The main downside is that Jean can end up pushing enemies away from the circle when she uses it.
Recommended Builds
DPS Build
Even though Jean works best as a support, she can also be built to fit the role of a DPS quite well. There are 2 ways to build a DPS Jean: Physical DPS, or Anemo damage style. The physical DPS version is more consistent, and the better option if you have no other viable damage dealer. Her normals and charge attack can reach high numbers, and she's fairly easy to play. The ideal target for artifact sets are 2 piece Gladiators Finale with 2 piece Bloodstained Chivalry, using phys dmg bonus on the cup, and crit rate/dmg on the crown.
For Anemo damage version, go with either 4 piece Viridescent Venerer, or just 2 piece Viridescent with 2 piece Gladiators Finale. With this build, her normal attack will be noticeably lower, but an increase in her skill and burst damage, so you'll want to use it more often. This version is also a pretty good sub DPS if you already have a main DPS. Simply switch to Jean when her skill is up for a quick blast that deals good damage. Be sure to use Anemo damage% on the cup piece as well.
If you only bring Jean on the team for the heal/burst, simply focus on either 4 piece Maiden Beloved, or 4 piece Viridescent Venerer for an added benefit of reducing enemy's resistance. Her heal scales off of her attack stat, but if you only focus on her supporting ability, then you won't really need to level up the artifacts to max level. If you want it to deal good damage to help with the team, then full Noblesse Oblige, or 2 piece Noblesse with Viridescent is the way to go. Ultimately, it really depends on your playstyle and what you want Jean to be able to do.
The best support weapon to give to her is the Sacrificial Sword. It's an amazing weapon that can let you do 2 elemental skill in a row. It's especially useful on Jean because she can blast enemies into the air to deal fall damage, which scales off of their HP. A high level enemy can take about 20,000 damage if you blast them into the air. Being able to do it twice will essentially be free 40,000 damage even if you don't build her for a damage dealer.
Team Recommendations
She can work in any team if you are using her as a support, but there are still really good pairs that you can do. Jean and Venti is a strong pair because it's double Anemo. Not only does this give an elemental resonance passive, energy generated will benefit them both, and they work well together in general. Using Venti's burst, enemies in the area will get sucked up and drop down close to each other after it ends. Simply use Jean and hold her elemental skill to blow them all up into the air for fall damage, and generate some energy. If you use sacrifical sword, you might be able to do it again for a lot of extra damage. Other than venti, there's also Beidou, Chongyun, Xingqiu, and/or Bennett as really good general options as well.
