Chongyun is a Liyue boy, a descendant of a long line of exorcists, but he is the best in his family. Due to a congenital problem, he has an excess of his positive Yang energy, effective for exorcising, but because of this, Chongyun has never seen a spirit. In addition, he must maintain his positive energy by avoiding strong foods such as spicy food and eating lots of mint popsicles. This exorcist greatly supports Melee’s or Cryo Element’s characters. But also, Chongyun can only do a lot of physical damage, so this is his best build and team comp in Genshin Impact.
The Best Build for Chongyun in Genshin Impact
Chongyun is a good choice for your team because he is an “easy” character to obtain. Being a 4-star character that came out almost from the beginning of the game and that HoYoverse has given as a reward in events, many players already have him on their roster. Besides, some players use him to create ice bridges like Kaeya, which is helpful for exploration.
Best Weapons for Chongyun
Chongyun can configure his build depending on which role you prefer him to have in your party. If you prefer to use him as Main DPS, it is best to get the most out of him with his Normal or Charged Attacks infused with Cryo. As Sub DPS, your Chongyun will do more damage by doing Elemental Reactions using his skills and then keep him off-field. But as Support, Chongyun can buff other team members with his Elemental Skill and Burst. These are the best weapons according to Chongyun’s role:
| Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Cryo Burst Support |
|---|---|---|
| Wolf’s Gravestone | Wolf’s Gravestone | Wolf’s Gravestone |
| Skyward Pride | Skyward Pride | Sacrificial Greatsword |
| Luxurious Sea-Lord | Sacrificial Greatsword | Favonius Greatsword |
| Prototype Archaic | Serpent Spine | – |
Best Artifacts for Chongyun
Chongyun is a “slow” character to attack and recharge his Burst, and his damage area is small. But he is one of the best characters to apply Cryo, so much so that he is used a lot for the meta. It is also one of the few characters who can buff ATK SPD. These are the best artifacts in Genshin Impact that Chongyun can use according to his role:
| Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Cryo Burst Support |
|---|---|---|
| Blizzard Strayer + Gladiator’s Finale | Emblem of Severed Fate | Noblesse Oblige |
| 2 Pieces of each of one: Cryo DMG Bonus +15% and Cryo DMG Bonus ATK +18%. | 2 Pieces: Energy Recharge +20%. 4 Pieces: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of Energy Recharge. A maximum of 75% bonus DMG can be obtained in this way. | 4 Pieces: Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members’ ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack. |
Best Team Comp for Chongyun
In teams with Chongyun, checking which characters he synergizes with the best is essential. There will be characters that can’t work with this exorcist due to his skill kit or because he can’t keep enemies frozen as a Claymore user. So, Shatter teams are highly recommended, but these are other good team comps for Chongyun:
- Freeze and Shatter Team:
- Main DPS: Chongyun
- Sub-DPS: Shenhe / Rosaria / Kaeya
- Sub-DPS: Xingqiu / Yelan
- Support: Kazuha/ Sucrose / Zhongli
- National Team:
- Main DPS: Chongyun
- Sub-DPS: Bennett
- Sub-DPS: Xiangling
- Sub-DPS: Xingqiu
- Melt Team:
- Main DPS: Chongyun
- Sub-DPS: Kazuha
- Sub-DPS: Bennett
- Sub-DPS: Xiangling
One of the best team comps in Genshin Impact is having Chongyun as the Main DPS and Shenhe applying her buff. Although in updates after Chongyun’s debut, the character was left aside, new compositions with Dendro and Fontaine characters can be very interesting for your strategy.
