Overview
The Jiban (羁绊, Jībàn, 'Bond') system governs the narrative and gameplay relationship between the player protagonist Child of the Primal Flow and each Resonance (共鸣) hero. Bond levels rise through spending time with the hero in combat, completing their story quests, and engaging with their Dream Realm content.
What Bond Levels Unlock
Progressing a hero's bond level unlocks several interconnected rewards:
New story chapters specific to that hero (e.g., Dongfang Yao's 'Cloud Fall Anomaly' and 'Stellar Awakening' arcs)
Hero-specific Dream Realm dungeon access
Visual and voice flourishes unique to higher-bond pair-ups
Combat bonuses: higher bond levels increase that hero's skill damage and effect strength when equipped as a Resonance
Unique cosmetic fragments and dialogue options in social hubs
Progression Methods
Bond experience accumulates through:
Using the hero in combat as a Resonance slot
Completing hero-specific main-story and side quests
Clearing the hero's Dream Realm dungeon
Participating in limited-time hero-featured events like the Chapter 1 Xi Shi unlock or the BP-tied Jialuo events
Giving hero-specific gifts when available through shop or event rewards
Current Numeric Detail
Tencent has not published the exact maximum bond level or the per-tier XP requirements in a consolidated format as of April 15, 2026. Community guides describe the system qualitatively rather than numerically. Specific numbers should be verified in-game before being cited in other articles.
Role in the Two-Resonance Loadout
Because players equip two Resonances at once and hot-swap between them, bond management directly shapes gameplay. A high-bond Resonance delivers stronger skill damage than a low-bond one, which incentivizes players to commit to a two-hero main rotation rather than rotating through all 11 launch heroes evenly.
