Should You Get Or Wish For Chongyun?

Pull If You Need A Cryo DPS & Support

Chongyun

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.

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

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.

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.

- 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.

If you're someone looking at this because you're looking to build your Chongyun, don't be discouraged by this guide. He is an absolute UNIT
He's the only character in Genshin I've had since the Mondstadt arc and is STILL in my team in 4.0. He's carried me through the entire game

Wouldn't Chongyun's best F2P team be the original national team of him xiangling, bennett and xingqiu?

Anonymous 11

Would Chongyun be good in a Superconduct comp as a Cryo applicator? I prefer using characters I like, and Chongyun is one of the few I really like.
