Tip for those attempting the Jean fall damage strategy in Stygian Onslaught!!

Many of you, like me, have been trying to do the trick on the Shocktrooper involving Jean, Geo Traveler, Tighnari, and Zhongli. There are videos out there that do a good job explaining the technique. (The only minor modification I made in my own runs was hopping backward and just a hair to the right after using Traveler's skill, instead of stepping backward with Jean, as I felt this gave me more control over positioning).

I struggled for many hours (probably 7 or more) trying to get it, and I couldn't even get STARTED on properly trapping the dude. He received one tick of damage maximum, and then he would just get pushed out from between the constructs.

It turns out there IS a trick that makes it significantly easier to succeed.

It is this: Check your FPS. If it is set to 30, set it to at least 45.

I don't know why, but after doing this, the guy actually started getting stuck between the constructs and I succeeded in like 10 minutes. This might not help everyone succeed, as there are numerous things that can go wrong when attempting this strategy, but I hope I help at least someone.

Set ~~vertical~~ horizontal camera sensitivity to 1 and turn off combat camera setting

I think you mean horizontal camera sensitivity, but yep, those help too!

I can't get him stuck, he takes the first tick of damage and then by the time Zhongli's burst is done for me he is out! I tired changing the FPS but I'm still experiencing that same issue :(

It's a really difficult trick. In my experience, the things that matter most are timing and positioning, and even with excellent execution, it can still go wrong. Make sure Zhongli's pillar is as straight on as possible, and try to use his skill right as the fatui guy is standing up (the timing is hard to describe and is inconsistent anyway). Also make sure you back up a little before you use Zhongli's burst, because it apparently has knockback.

If you are good with continually stunning him with Jean, you can also set up the same thing multiple times to try to trap the guy repeatedly in the same run.

Good luck man! You got this!
