Chongyun Best Team Comp

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 Substitutes

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

Free To Play Friendly Party

Sub-DPS	DPS	DPS	Support
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

How To Use Chongyun ?

Recommended Rotation For Chongyun

Uses Of Chongyun's Elemental Skill

Infuse Characters With Cryo Infusion

Those wielding a Sword, Claymore, or Polearm will get Cryo Infusion when staying inside Chongyun's ELemental Skill. You can use this for easy Cryo elemental reaction combos and since it's an on-field ability, it can be used to the advantage of your main DPS.

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. You can use this whenever it's available or a set up for Cryo reactions when Chongyun's Skill is down.

Strengths Of Chongyun

Great Cryo Applicator

Chongyun's Elemental Skill allows for continues application of Cryo damage. Since it will infuse all normal attacks by melee weapons, it has quite a high Cryo application depending on the character inside the field.

Can Work Well With Melt/Freeze Comps

Chongyun's Kit is one of the best when it comes to elemental reactions concerning Cryo. Due to the Elemental Skill being on-field, it can be taken advantage of higher damage dealing main supports for stronger elemental reactions.

Weaknesses Of Chongyun

Not A Versatile Hero

You will be building a team around Chongyun's Ability to get the most out of it. This greatly limits the characters he can work with, especially any Physical Damage main DPS.

Voicelines About Chongyun

Voicelines About Chongyun
Hu Tao	All yang and no yin? Who knew such people existed in this world.
Xiangling	Chongyun? I always see him on his way to eat at Wanmin Restaurant with Xingqiu... Ah... or perhaps I should say I see him being dragged there by Xingqiu? Chongyun doesn't eat hot food. Every time the hot food arrives, Xingqiu politely apologizes and proceeds to try every dish. I just wanna dig in with him! The look on Chongyun's face is priceless. They're quite interesting, those two.
Xingqiu	Ah, dear Chongyun. Though he understands me quite well, one has to exercise caution when teaming up with him to go on a quest. He is making good progress in the martial arts, but I would say he hasn't quite internalized the chivalric code yet... He needs more practice. Especially at eating spicy food.
Xinyan	He's one interesting guy. He looks introverted enough, but there was this one time when he came to one of my performances. A friend brought him or something, and he had some words for me, but I couldn't hear 'em over the music. Before I knew it, he was right up there on the stage with me, singing and rockin' his heart out. Guess you really can't judge a book by its cover!
