Jiyan is the best DPS character in Wuthering Waves currently. He excels in AOE combat but has amazing single-target damage as well. Similar to other DPS characters, he's reliant on his Ultimate, and his kit is focused around it.
Most of Jiyan's ultimate attacks have an incredible range, nearly the entire screen, allowing you to effortlessly deal with large groups of enemies while also hitting the agile bosses who try to flee.
In addition to dealing significant damage, Jiyan may gather non-elite enemies inside his dragons, sending them flying and immobilizing them, making it easy to eliminate them with his overwhelming damage.
Still, people think of Jiyan as only an AoE expert, but after using his ultimate, he has one of the largest single-target burst damage windows, and the boss HP bar melts when he executes his combo.
Now let's look at the best way to build Jiyan in Wuthering Waves.

Verdant Summit is simply the best weapon for Jiyan in Wuthering Waves. It provides a ton of damage as well as utility to its users. Lustrous Razor just isn't as good as it only provides an ATK% stat, but all options above are still quite viable.

Summary
Overall, Jiyan is one of the strongest 5-star characters in Wuthering Waves. Just keep in mind that these types of characters usually get power-crept in time, as more and more new ones are released.
Just to let you know, Jiyan isn't perfect. Most of his damage is unleashed during his Ultimate, and if you can't immediately get back into it, he'll feel worse to play. That is why, in order to make him feel great and avoid unnecessary downtime, you must increase his Energy Regen.
But that's not enough. You also need to match him with characters who have fast rotations and can feed energy into Jiyan via the 30% energy mechanic.
Overall, Jiyan is an easy-to-play, powerful character with simple team-building choices, making him ideal for the initial rate-up banner. Traveling through the overworld and other modes will be trivial with him on your side.
