Chongyun Best Team
Best Party For Chongyun
Chongyun is possibly one of the best Cryo characters right now. Although his one downside is shifting all Physical Damage to Cryo damage when he uses his Elemental Burst
Premium Team
| Sub-DPS | DPS | Support | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chongyun | Klee | Venti | Fischl |
| Details | |||
| - Chongyun will be the starter point of all combos as he needs to apply Cryo first to get the most out of Melt. - Klee works well with Chongyun as she can cause melt and since she doesn't use any Physical Damage attacks, she will not be affected by Chongyun's passive - Venti can group enemies to make it easier to pull off the elemental combos. With a relatively fast Eneergy Recharge, he can keep his Elemental Burst up almost immediately. - During times when other skills are on cooldown, having Fischl's Oz will be a great way to deal damage. It can cause either Overload or Superconduct which lowers Physical Damage Resistance. Best when Chongyun isn't using his Elemental Burst | |||
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Klee | Yanfei | - Yanfei can easily cause melt with her normal and charged attacks. Same with Klee, she does not use any Physical Damage attacks |
| Venti | Sucrose | - Sucrose works in the same way as Venti when it comes to grouping up enemies. Since her skill is on the floor, it makes it easier for her team to hit enemies. |
| Fischl | Hu Tao | - Hu Tao's Elemental Burst is amazing when it can hit melt with multiple enemies. An easy feat when playing with Chongyun |

| Chongyun | Amber | Xiangling | Diona |
| Details | |||
| - Chongyun's role is to consistently apply Cryo to enemies. He can then do even more damage by attacking them with his weapon when his Elemental Burst is up - Amber's taunt is valuable to keep enemies at a point, while her normal and Elemental Burst can quickly apply Pyro to enemies - Xiangling's Gouba out on the field is also a must for Pyro damage. Her and Amber can provide the team with the Pyro Resonance Attack buff - Diona's easily spreads Cryo and also work well with Chongyun. Together they will have Cryo Resonance for added CRIT Rate to the party | |||

| Affiliation: Liyue Throughout its long history, Liyue has never had a lack of rumors and myths regarding all manner of evil spirits and demons. And regardless of the truth of such rumors, someone has to do something about them. Chongyun was born into a renowned family of exorcists, and has possessed a natural ability to drive away evil spirits from a young age due to his congenital positivity. His powers of exorcism are far beyond the norm; his mere presence is sufficient to scatter evil spirits. However, this has proven to be an inconvenience for Chongyun himself, for though he has undertaken hundreds of exorcism, he has never come face-to-face with a single ghost or demon. Chongyun believes in his heart that a true exorcist should exorcize evil with charms and swordsmanship. This natural ability that he has... is just not orthodox. Therefore, he has dedicated himself to the study of exorcism techniques and martial arts, as well as seeking haunts of evil spirits to prove himself an able and professional exorcist even without his unique physical condition. Yet when that condition stop being a stumbling block on his path to self-realization? |
