Yes, Jean's abilities, including her Normal Attacks, Elemental Skill (Gale Blade), and Elemental Burst (Dandelion Breeze), all scale off her Attack (ATK) stat. This means that increasing her ATK will directly boost the damage she deals with her attacks and skills, as well as the healing provided by her Elemental Burst.
Understanding Jean's ATK Scaling
Every one of Jean's offensive and restorative capabilities is directly influenced by her Attack stat. This makes ATK a fundamental stat for any build focused on optimizing her performance, whether as a damage dealer or a healer.
- Normal Attack: The damage dealt by Jean's standard sword swings scales directly with her ATK.
- Gale Blade (Elemental Skill): Both the initial press and the charged hold versions of her Elemental Skill, which deals Anemo damage, derive their damage from her ATK.
- Dandelion Breeze (Elemental Burst): This powerful Elemental Burst provides a large burst of healing upon activation and creates a Dandelion Field that continuously heals characters within it. Both the initial healing and the continuous healing, along with the Anemo damage dealt, scale with Jean's ATK stat.
For a detailed breakdown of her scaling values across different talent levels, you can refer to reputable Genshin Impact databases like the Genshin Impact Wiki.
ATK% vs. Anemo DMG Bonus: Optimizing Jean's Builds
While it's true that all of Jean's skills scale with her ATK, a common point of discussion among players revolves around artifact choices, particularly between an ATK% Goblet and an Anemo DMG Bonus Goblet.
- ATK% Goblet: Directly increases Jean's total ATK, leading to higher base damage and healing numbers across all her abilities.
- Anemo DMG Bonus Goblet: Provides a multiplicative bonus specifically to her Anemo damage (Gale Blade, Dandelion Breeze, and any Swirl reactions). This bonus is applied after other calculations, including ATK, critical hits, and talent multipliers.
Practical Insight: For most DPS-oriented Jean builds, an Anemo DMG Bonus Goblet is generally recommended over an ATK% Goblet. The reason for this is that while ATK is foundational, Elemental DMG Bonuses are a separate, powerful multiplier that can significantly increase final damage output. Jean can obtain plenty of ATK from her weapon, artifact substats (Circlet, Sands), and team buffs (e.g., from Bennett or Noblesse Oblige set). Adding a dedicated Anemo DMG Bonus further amplifies her Anemo damage, which makes up a substantial portion of her kit's output.
However, the optimal choice can vary slightly depending on:
- Team Composition: If Jean is paired with characters that provide substantial ATK buffs, an Anemo DMG Bonus becomes even more valuable.
- Specific Build Focus: A pure healing focus might prioritize more ATK% for larger healing numbers, though Anemo DMG Bonus still benefits her healing's associated damage.
- Substats: The quality of substats on your artifacts can sometimes dictate which main stat is ultimately better for a specific piece.
