CHONGYUN BUILDS / STRATEGY
HP | ATK | ATK% | CRYO% | CD%/CR%
BURST SUPPORT: This is his most effective role. To get the most use out of him as a support, you’ll build him like a dps but with more focus on ER first followed by a lot of ATK, CR, CD, Cryo DMG, and EM.
These are also general recommendations, you will need to alter your artifacts and stat builds based on what content you want to use this character for and what team you are using him/her with, however, these are consider among the best claymores for Chongyun. A general rule for DPS units are CR is roughly 50% of your CD.
CHONGYUN CONSTELLATIONS
Ice Unleashed (Lvl 1): The last attack of Chongyun’s Normal Attack combo releases 3 ice blades. Each blade deals 50% of Chongyun’s ATK as Cryo DMG to all opponents in its path.
Atmospheric Revolution (Lvl 2): Elemental Skills and Elemental Bursts cast within the Frost Field created by Spirit Blade: Chonghua’s Layered Frost have their CD time decreased by 15%.
Cloudburst (Lvl 3): Increases the level of Spirit Blade: Cloud-Parting Star by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Frozen Skies (Lvl 4): Chongyun regenerates 1 Energy every time he hits an opponent affected by Cryo.
This effect can only occur once every 2s.
The True Path (Lvl 5): Increases the Level of Spirit Blade: Chonghua’s Layered Frost by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Rally of Four Blades (Lvl 6): Spirit Blade: Cloud-Parting Star deals 15% more DMG to opponents with a lower percentage of their Max HP remaining than Chongyun.
This skill will also summon 1 additional spirit blade.
STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS:
- Chongyun is a Cool Down machine with his 2nd Constellation in Genshin Impact!
- His burst can hit like a truck when built correctly with its multi hits.
- His E is nice for elemental reactions for bigger damage.
WEAKNESSES
- His true potential is locked by behind his 2nd constellation.
RANKING
Combat Rating (7/10): Chongyun’s combat feels a little clunky and slow. His dps output isn’t as high as other claymores. However, you mostly won’t be using his normal attacks since he’s primarily used for his E and Burst. Keep in mind you always want to use your E first then Burst to stack the damage.
Exploration (7/10): Claymores are always useful in exploration to mine ores quickly.
Spiral Abyss (7/10): He’s pretty useful here as a sub DPS and enables EM with his E for bigger damage with you main. If you can get his 2nd constellation his core can go up to 8 or even a 9.
Artifact Farming (7/10): He’s pretty good for early game farming. Put him in a freeze come to make things safer.
Normal/Weekly Bosses (6/10): He’s serves the same role here as he does in spiral abyss.
