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
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 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.

Pull If You Need A Cryo DPS & Support
