2nd | ![]() | 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 | ![]() | 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 |

5th | ![]() | 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 | ![]() | ATK 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Increases Burst DMG └ Depends on the combined maximum Energy of the team |
7th | ![]() | 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
Whenever Chongyun uses his Burst, the effect of 4-piece Noblesse Oblige gives ATK% buff to everyone in the team. Only use a complete Noblesse Oblige if you do not have another character that uses it in the team since the buff does not stack.

- 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. |

Inflict Debuff To Enemies

One of Chongyun's passive talents enables his Skill to decrease Cryo RES of the enemy if it gets hit by the falling sword at the end of its duration.
Uses Of Chongyun's Elemental Burst
Quick Burst Of Cryo Damage

Chonyun's Elemental Burst doesn't necessarily have other effects besides damaging enemies with Cryo from a distance. It is great to use whenever you need to set up Cryo-related reaction combos.

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.
