Jane can accumulate a resource called Passion Stream by dealing damage or executing Perfect Dodge and Defensive Assist. Upon the reaching maximum Passion Stream, Jane automatically enters the Passion state, vastly increasing her Anomaly Buildup and raising her ATK based on her Anomaly Proficiency, if she’s surpassed a certain threshold. The Passion state also unlocks several alternate moves for Jane, which all deal additional Physical DMG. Using such moves is consuming Passion Stream, leading to Jane exiting the Passion state once her resources have been depleted.

Launching a Chain Attack or her Ultimate fills up Passion Stream to the maximum, allowing her to enter the Passion state immediately.

Jane’s Core Passive inflicts the Gnawed status effect on enemies when her attacks hit them. If any team member triggers Assault on an enemy suffering from Gnawed, the Assault damage is capable of becoming critical. The CRIT Rate increases based on Jane’s Anomaly Proficiency. If any team member triggers Flinch on an enemy suffering from Gnawed, the effect of Flinch will last longer.

ZZZ – Jane: best team comps

Jane is a deadly Main DPS who should be teamed up with another Anomaly Agent or characters from New Eridu Public Security to make full use of her Core Passive.

• Jane (Main DPS), Piper (Sub DPS), Lucy (Support)
• Bangboo: Bangvolver

Jane and Piper are both Physical Anomaly characters, which guarantees a rapid infliction of the Assault status effect on enemies. Piper building up Power stacks also allows her to support the offensive efforts of Jane thanks to the teamwide damage bonus her own Core Passive provides. Lucy is a solid Support for this duo, increasing everyone’s ATK and helping with Daze infliction.

• Jane (Main DPS), Qingyi (Sub DPS), Seth (Support)
• Bangboo: Officer Cui

Of course, you can easily opt for a full N.E.P.S. team comp with Jane at its heart as well, giving you an alternative Main DPS to Zhu Yuan. Anomaly Buildup will be a bit slower in this team, but Jane will gain the protection of Seth’s shields and gains more chances to enter Passion thanks to Qingyi’s Daze infliction.

Oh, she's dangerous. / HoYoverse
