Is Jiu Niangzi good?
A 6-star Mineral carry and the first truly limited character, meaning she won't join the standard pool. Her Bottoms Up attack adds a follow-up whose damage depends on how much Liquor it randomly consumes, while Baijiu Ladle, the game's first Channel skill, grants Liquor.
She deals high sustained damage through steady follow-ups, pairs well with 37 or 
Flutterpage, doesn't depend on her ultimate so she isn't AP or Moxie hungry, and is hard to misplay. Her burst is mediocre and her damage swings with random Liquor use.
Pairs well with: 37; Flutterpage.

- High sustained follow-up damage
- Not reliant on her ultimate
- Synergy with 37 and Flutterpage
