What Kind Of Character Is Chongyun?

Chongyun is an early game Burst DPS character who can use his Skill to infuse melee weapons with Cryo. His Burst is great for oneshotting enemies if you build him right and with the correct setup. In late game, he can be used for National Team along with Xiangling and Xingqiu.

Chongyun Best Weapon

Chongyun Works Best With ATK, CRIT or Elemental DMG-Boosting Claymores

WeaponDetails
BestWolfWolf's GravestoneATK 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
2ndSerpent SpineSerpent 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

5thSacrificial GreatswordSacrificial GreatswordEnergy Recharge 30.6% (Lvl. 90) - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Chance to reset Skill └ Can produce additional Energy upon using Skill
6thAkuoumaruAkuoumaruATK 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Increases Burst DMG └ Depends on the combined maximum Energy of the team
7thLithic BladeLithic BladeATK 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.

- National team is one of the best and easy to build teams for Chongyun since the team is made up of only 4 star characters. - The combination of Vaporize, Melt and Freeze gives the team powerful damage and survivability. - Bennett's healing and ATK buff helps greatly but having him at C6 can override Chongyun's Cryo infusion buff.

Uses Of Chongyun's Elemental Skill

Can Buff Melee Characters With Infusion

Can Buff Melee Characters With Infusion

Those wielding melee weapons such as Sword, Claymore, or Polearm get a Cryo infusion when staying inside Chongyun's Elemental Skill. In addition, one of his passive talents enables his Skill to increase the Normal ATK SPD of melee characters while inside the field.

Inflict Debuff To 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

Quick Burst Of Cryo Damage

Chongyun'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 Pull for Chongyun's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Any Constellation Level Is Nice to Have

Constellation Priority
C2 or C3 > C6

C2 or C3 are Good But Not Necessary

Chongyun's use-cases are very limited, but he can range from usable to decent in his own niche. His C2 is a rare constellation that can reduce Skill and Burst cooldowns within the Frost Field created by Spirit Blade: Chonghua’s Layered Frost. The exact amount of damage increase you can get from lowered cooldown is variable, but it can come in handy in specific situations. A more noticeable upgrade would be his C3, since it adds levels to his Burst, thus improving his personal damage. C6 is a flat increase to his burst damage, and is more so a nice add-on rather than a final goal. Any constellation is a good enough stopping point, but the above mentioned are going to be the milestones.

In general, Chongyun is a character whose function and gameplay does not change with his constellations. You don't really need to actively pull more copies of him to get some usage out of his kit. He will perform as intended at C0, and that's perfectly serviceable in the limited amount of teams that he can flex into.

Who Is Chongyun?

An Exorcist From Liyue

Chongyun

Chongyun comes from a family of exorcists from Liyue. What makes him such an amazing exorcist is the fact that he was born with pure yang energy. This makes spirits flee from him almost immediately.

Prone To Overheating

Due to his innate pure yang energy, Chongyun is prone to overheating. This is why he often eats cold food and wears light clothing.

Friends With Xingqiu

As an exorcist, Chongyun finds it hard to befriend others as his interests solely lie in the art. He is friends with Xingqiu who likes to play pranks to him much to his dismay.
