Best Weapons For DPS Build

	Weapon	Details
Best	Wolf's Gravestone	ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - Gives additional ATK% - Can periodically increase ATK% of the team for a duration └ The buff gets triggered if Chongyun gets to damage an enemy with less than 30% HP
2nd	Serpent Spine	CRIT Rate 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT DMG makes it convenient to achieve good CRIT stat ratio - Stacks let you deal more damage to the enemies but the damage you receive is also increased (5 stacks at max) └ Stacks are reduced whenever you get hit
3rd	Skyward Pride	Energy Recharge 36.8% (Lvl. 90) - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Increases the damage output of Chongyun └ After using any ability, it can produce 8 vacuum blades when attacking
F2P	Luxurious Sea-Lord	ATK 55.1% (Lvl. 90) - Increases Elemental Burst DMG └ Guaranteed to inflict an Aoe damage periodically - Event-exclusive weapon which makes it easy to R5
5th	Sacrificial Greatsword	Energy Recharge 30.6% (Lvl. 90) - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Chance to reset Skill └ Can produce additional Energy upon using Skill
6th	Akuoumaru	ATK 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Increases Burst DMG └ Depends on the combined maximum Energy of the team
7th	Lithic Blade	ATK 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Can provide additional ATK% & CRIT Rate └ Passive is situational since it only takes effect when team members hail from Liyue

Go For Damage Multipliers Aside From CRIT Stat

Wolf's Gravestone is a great claymore since it can boost Chongyun's ATK and can also give an ATK buff to the team. On the other hand, Serpent Spine is an excellent claymore due to its CRIT Rate stat & passive that can further increase Chongyun's damage output.

Use A Complete Noblesse Oblige If You Want A Buffer

Chongyun Best Team Comp

Premium Party For Chongyun

Depending on your team, Chongyun can act as the main DPS & support although his support potential is limited since all melee characters inside the range of his Skill automatically get Cryo infusion which is disruptive, especially to Physical DPS.

Premium Team

Support	Main DPS	Support	Support
Chongyun	Ayaka	Kazuha	Kokomi
Details
- In this team, Chongyun acts as a support. His Elemental Skill buff can be maximized by Ayaka. - Ayaka is a powerful main DPS who can consistently deal Cryo DMG. Chongyun's Skill is beneficial to Ayaka since it can help her to sustain the Cryo infusion which is helpful in conserving stamina as Ayaka does not need to sprint much to get Cryo infusion. - Kazuha can amplify the elemental DMG of Ayaka when Cryo gets absorbed in his Burst. In addition, he can gather lightweight enemies with his Skill and also spread Hydro to nearby enemies for Ayaka & Chongyun to freeze. - Kokomi is a great healer & Hydro applicator who can help the team to freeze the enemies.

Other Characters That Works With Chongyun

Character	Sub	Details
Ayaka	Shenhe	- Although Shenhe is better as a support than a main DPS, she can boost Chongyun's damage output as main DPS.
Kazuha	Zhongli	- Zhongli has a shield that can protect the active character while decreasing the Elemental & Physical RES of nearby enemies.
Kokomi	Yelan Xingqiu	- Since Zhongli's Skill can be sustained, it is great to go for an off-field DPS that can synergize with Cryo. Yelan & Xingqiu are both powerful off-field Hydro DPS whose Bursts can perform a coordinated attack with Chongyun's Normal Attack. Also, shattering frozen enemies deals additional damage.

Should You Get Or Wish For Chongyun?

Pull If You Need A Cryo DPS & Support

Chongyun is a great Cryo DPS & support. His elemental skill can imbue Cryo to any melee character that is inside its range. Although Chongyun's constellation improves his DPS & support capabilities, it is not recommended to aim for Chongyun when pulling unless Chongyun's rate is boosted.

Best Constellation For Chongyun

Constellation 2 Great For Support Chongyun

With Constellation 2, Chongyun is able to decrease the cooldown of the teammates making this a great support utility, especially for characters with long cooldowns.
