CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG

Chongyun's Elemental Burst is calculated as Claymore damage, which means it breaks Geo Structures / Shields at a much easier rate and can proc Shatter.
This makes Chongyun a valuable asset in certain team compositions, particularly those that rely on Geo reactions or need to break Geo shields quickly.
When building Chongyun, consider focusing on EM and ER to increase the damage output of his Elemental Burst.
Some recommended Artifact sets for Chongyun include:

  • Noblesse Oblige for increased Elemental Burst damage
  • Archaic Petra for increased Geo damage

In terms of team compositions, Chongyun pairs well with characters that can provide Elemental Reactions or Bonus Effects, such as:
  • Zhongli for Geo resonance and shield support
  • Xiangling for Pyro reactions and damage increase

Chongyun's Infusion is overridden by Bennett's C6 and Diluc's Elemental Type, but overrides Candace's Infusion.
When building Chongyun, consider team compositions that avoid conflicts with his Infusion mechanic:

  • Pair Chongyun with characters who do not rely on their own Elemental Type for reactions.
  • Utilize Chongyun's Elemental Mastery to enhance Freeze reaction damage in Melt or Freeze teams.
  • For optimal synergy, combine Chongyun with characters like Ganyu or Ayaka for consistent Cryo application.
Note: Elemental Mastery plays a crucial role in determining reaction effectiveness, so prioritize building Chongyun's EM for maximum damage output.
