Regarding a full Chongyun QUAD melt with Bennett: the best way to go about it is by casting Bennett’s Q -> E -> AOE Swirl Pyro -> Chongyun Q This should generally enhance the pyro that Bennett applied enough for Chongyun’s burst to melt 4 full times at c6 ALSO, regarding the viability of 4pc Blizzard Strayer on Chongyun: Yes, chongyun shatters freeze in almost every attack his kit provides, making the full 40% crit rate more inconsistent for chongyun to use than it would be for.. Ayaka or Ganyu (they dont shatter) HOWEVER, I circumvented this with high cryo application so that Chongyun is still reliably benefiting from at least the 35% crit rate bonus (20% from bliz, 15% from cryo resonance) and it works consistently, even allowing some of his attacks to benefit from the full 40% blizzard bonus, just very occassionally. The point of that is mostly to say: 4pc blizzard is not as effective on Chongyun as it is for Ayaka or Ganyu or any cryo character that does not shatter a frozen enemy, BUT, there are reliable ways around this issue that will still allow you to run a lower crit rate in exchange for a higher crit damage ratio, as you can see from my own shatterfreeze chongyun team footage in this video. hence why i recommended a general safe minimum of 20% crit rate for a blizzard build, so that you're at LEAST consistently striking with 55% crit rate ➤ twitter: twitter.com/dragonflymarcus
If I could suggest maybe not using Terms like Q and E when referring to the skill and the Bursts. Lots of people (Including me) play on the PlayStation or on there phones so when you say Q and E I don't know which one your talking about. it's just an accessibility thing you might want to consider because its just more work for me when i have to look up which is which every time. liked the guide otherwise, I love Chongyun in my benny melt team.
I never thought Chongyun was even a bad character it's just there aren't any characters that can use him to his full potential. As the character diversity increases he'll age like fine wine 🍷
Chongyun, Xingqiu, xinglang, benett.. i cant spell their names well, but those are the support characters I’m planning to build for national support team1. It’s a great support team I’ve seen.
I thought I was the only one who did cursed things like that lol. I got Shenhe for Chongyun even though I have neither Ganyu nor Ayaka and don't really want them either
@@Ak-ik8tc I have Ayaka and Ganyu, but recently got to building Chongyun and Rosaria. I’m having a lot of fun playing with Chongyun and Rosaria - maybe more than Ayaka and Ganyu? Anyway, I really need Shenhe for cryptic supremacy!
chongyun mains lets goooooo ive never seen anyone else do this, but by using thoma you can actually get chongyun’s normal attacks to melt and get him to output a lot of damage, and it also means its ridiculously easy to set up a melt nuke with his burst. i regularly get 18k-25k normal attacks with it, and his auto attacks are actually a lot faster than other claymore users, and his a1 helps with that.
@@kou2823 it can be slow, so i tend to use another form of pyro application as well, like an aoe swirl of pyro (usually from kazuha) or bennett, but for the most part i use both of them. if everything lines up nicely i can get melts for every other normal attack
I was watching GNCS (Genshin CN championship) today on tenten's stream and you won't believe it but Chongyun main dps smoked a Ganyu Shenhe melt team. Although it was a specifically good scenario for Chongyun (Hydro Abyss heralds) his 416k nuke is too good for a 40 burst cost.
Yea and its Ojou once again. Same player that did the sucrose self hydro absorption on the double ayaka season. It was funny. The Chinese players were going "Eula is also known as little ChongYun"
As a Chongyun main, I think my favourite iteration of him is when he is paired with Shenhe to turn every melee character into cryo dps. Yes, it is pure copium but it's funny as shit to see 20k+ cryo numbers on non-cryo characters.
I actually really like him for the CD reduction he offers with his skill thanks to 2d constellation It's very pog with anemo resonance as well. Literally quick swap heaven
yeah my original copium was that if nothing else, his c2 was CRAZYYY good, especially considering unlike raiden’s cooldown reduction, he can actually make use of it just as much as his teams can in most situations
I’ve always used chongyun as a melt enabler with diluc, and no real weapons or artifact builds really make that strategy more powerful, so instead i give him the luxurious sea lord and the nobless + cryo set to make chongyun a burst nuke for quick swaps as the scaling is pretty crazy especially at c6
@@sandywaffles2370 not much, chongyun is rather flexible depending on what you want to do with him, it mainly comes down to how you use your diluc combos and making sure to wait for the reaction cooldown to end before using your elemental skill, normal attacking in the meantime to make sure cryo is up ofc
@@sandywaffles2370 Your 4th party member if you plan for claymore only should be either Xinyan for pyro resonance or Noelle for her shield. None of the other released claymore users look like they’d really help in this comp. If you’re planning to just bring the squad to the overworld for dailies and stuff, you can just slap down Chongyun’s E and have Diluc carry you with melts and things should die well enough. Just look to see if cryo is applied before hitting each Diluc E and you should be golden. Also if you accidentally start charge attacking hit the jump button to get out of it. Just know that if you’re on grass, Diluc will light the ground on fire after his 2nd E, so pyro will end up stuck on the enemies. You could throw in a Chongyun ult or E if available after the ground catches fire or just continue your Diluc sequence. Even with full Witch and Pyro goblet, Diluc’s cryo normal attacks should still be higher than Chongyun’s. For more drawn out fights with bosses and stuff, you’ll likely need to infuse Sayu’s ult with pyro for Chongyun’s ult or cryo for Diluc’s ult sequence. For Diluc, she’ll likely end up being the one melting as you keep hitting enemies with your pyro infusion attacks, so building some EM on her isn’t a bad idea. Your 4th party teammate has a couple options for artifacts including 4 piece Instructor, which can also help out with EM. A refined Favonius is highly recommended for Sayu, your 4th slot choice, or even both to keep the energy flowing.
@@a-non6238 Thanks for all the info! I did forget that the instructor set existed...got to go regrind that set if I want to use it but i would probably bring xinyan as a low cost ult spam...maybe it would be worth building def for shield but maybe not.
honestly, chongyun diluc is an overrated pair diluc's burst infuses his auto attacks with pyro, and the infusion can't be overridden, so chongyun's skill does basically nothing but reduce your cooldown (which isn't useful with diluc anyways, since without the cooldown reduction, diluc already has 100% burst uptime)
Since I got Chongyun I slowly moved from being Kaeya main only to Chongyun main and oh my god with Bennett my team became whole another beast. He deserves much more love
Chongyun was the first character i pulled and i have mained him ever since then I use him in a team kazuha, kokomi and shenhe and for freeze and shatter doesnt really matter so much cause i just re-apply cryo and freeze the enemies again + extra shatter damage Plus in that team he can easily do 50k x 4 on his burst and no need to freeze the enemies if they are all dead
Nice team . I only have Kazuha. My non meta team with my Chongyun is Xiao, Chongyun, His boyfriend Xingqiu and Qiqi. Diona would be better for this team . But I used Xiao with Lithic until very recently ( now with Jade ) . My Qiqi probably have one of the highest ER around at 210% with Festering. If I use Skyward ( on Benny ) , I can get about 20 points more .
as a chongyun main, i approve of this! he is so fun to use especially in the open world where he just *bonks* every enemy >:) ty for the amazing video!!
Kaeya main here! I've been running him with xingqiu (sac sword), chongyun (sac greatsword) and either kazuha or yunjin with a bunch of def stacked! Kaeya's normal attacks hit super hard, not to mention how easily enemies stay frozen since kaeya doesn't shatter. It's an amazing team and pretty f2p friendly too!
15:00 you can swap kayea or rosaria to Qiqi in this team so you will have enough survivability. Also she has one of if not the fastest attack speed in the game so she can benefit hard from chongyun's att speed buff you mentioned earlier
THANK YOU for mentioning freeze cryo DPS Kaeya with Chongyun. The team is so strong and can compete along the lines of Ayaka with high investment. 10/10 recommend
Yeah, I 36* last cycle of the Abyss with them, the one with heralds\lectors. I don't have any of the 5* cryos, but luckily Kaeyun can get the job done quite comfortably.
CDR + Attack speed from his zone is very comfy. Especially when infusion is not overriden - Ayato, Itto, Tartaglia can SHRED with the buff (and Chong can provide Noblesse). Though not always needed, Yoimiya can get better skill uptime with him. Ayaka becomes stronger. You can get better rotations on important skills from Diona, Fischl, Noelle without having Sacrificial weapons
ayato/itto/tartaglia doesn't need the cooldown reduction though..? downtime on characters because you're gonna do rotations/battery the characters anyways though. i honestly think that c2 is a niche constellation that works best in quickswap comps (national/freeze), and although it's still appreciated in all teams, it's just unnecessary sometimes due to the fact that you need to do your rotation, in which case, your cooldown would be over already by the time you finish it
I always him as a flex option in triple geo team to break non-cryo elemental shields. I remember in the Abyss I just get the herald to generate his shield then apply Chongyun's E and go to town with Zhongli. This is because Zhongli attacks very fast so he can make use of Chongyun's cryo infusion
why have i just now found this channel... your opening was so good, i love your energy! glad to have come across this guide!!! love my freezy pop eatin boy! so nice to see some divergent content that focuses on niche team building its really nice!
Chongyun is my first 4* (if not counting the guarantied one's), and he is my fav character even now. I'm 59 rank now, and this guy is still staying at my main character slot (avatar), never changing never stoping to love this guy
An updated Chongyun guide YES! I hope we see even more team comps with him! As a Chongy main for over a year now I never once thought he's outdated. On the contrary with every new character I get I find him working great. I have tried out so many comps and my favorites are Chongyun, Ayato, Albedo/(Sucrose), Benny/(Kuki, Xiangling, Thoma) You can never go wrong with the main 4 and the substitutes are good for certain situations~
Fun little trick with Chongyuns A4 passive, that follow up cryo sword at the end of his field duration can proc the energy cost then regen effect of the Katsuragikiri Nagamasa claymore and has the same cool down at 10 seconds meaning a single skill use from chongyun can trigger the effect twice (once at the start and second at the end of the field duration), which at r5 is 24(-3 then +15 over 6 seconds twice) energy, plus it has ER substat in the 40's so if you use that sword you need pretty much no other sources of energy, If I ever actually get a good shimenawa set I wanna try using that on him with that sword and shenhe and yelan. Heck even the shimenawa set has a 10 second duration, even more timing synergy, though I still need to test if that followup sword would trigger the shimenawa energy cost too...if so i'd need to make sure to swap off just before the field ends so only the swords passive (which works off-field) triggers.
Yooo this video came at the perfect time! I’ve had c6 chongyun for awhile now so this video really helps to know his true potential! CHONGYUN SUPREMACY BEGINS!!!
I just started giving some love to this boy. After this video, I do have a theory but I can't go too much into details yet. I'm gonna say though, he's gonna use his burst TWICE every rotation.
he's the first character i got and and instantly decided to main him. his playstyle is so much fun for me. he's the first character i triple crowned and he's still in my team. i'd never bench him lol
I have loved Chongyun since I ever got him. I have not seen anyone do Chongyun, Mona, Xiangling, and Jean. It is actually fun to play with you being to do multiple different effects depending on what you are fighting.
Chongyun, my first main dps, first character and 4 star This kid is so satisfying to use be it burst dps or main dps I got shenhe and Bennett for this man, slept in noblesse and blizzard domain for over 3 months, first crown was given to his burst However, I have no luck with those domains, his crit 65:170 dogwater, weapon is blackcliff, dogwater, constellations is c4, dogwater, attack 1800, dogwater My chongyun is kinda dogwater
I use him in a team with Kaeya, Xiangling and Bennett with Kaeya as the main DPS. Quickswap heaven with Kaeya reverse melting and Xiangling sometimes forward melting her Pyronado for 50k to 60k damage. Chong can do a solid 120k+ with his burst on Pyro-applied targets. The team works wonders.
I tried out a new melt /reverse melt team and i call it the "todoroki" team with diluc bennet chongyun an rosaria and it's uncredibly fun to play i think you should try it it's like the basic childe vape team where childe is an enabler for xiangling in this case diluc with his burst infusion is an enabler for rosaria and chongyun is here so diluc can melt his E alone when rosaria doesn't have burst and to nuke for big PP dmg and batterie rosaria it's a blast to play and is really powerful if any one reading has these characters try it out and for everyone asking why diluc in particular well he has the fastest pyro application from the character i own and i think even in general because his E doesn't have ICD so he can help rosaria melt her things more than hutao yaomiya xiangling etc, i think the only one better then him is probably C6 Bennet which i don't have.... Yet.... anyway thx for reading and childe is the best character in the game
I've tried something similar to this, just kaeya, rosaria bennet and xiangling and it works wonders since no one has to take too much field time+short e cooldown+burst that works off field, it takes a bit of investment but it's so satisfying to play!
@@dragonsstars7734 yeah i tried it too but i found out that this team is mostly a xiangling melt team which is really good but i was going for a rosaria reverse melt and i found it impossible to do so because xiangling doesn't provide nearly the same pyro application as other characters and chongyun is more fun to use for me than keaya in a cryo DPS scenario i prefer keaya as a physical DPS
@@celestien4647 Hmm, it worked pretty well for me, and was a ton of fun, but i understand having a preference makes a big difference! Personally I really love kaeya so he slots in just perfectly. I either play that team for my kaeya or go full freeze with my boy chong since i got the mistsplitter, it's also super fun, plus it reminds me of the time when I just started the game and mained chongyun, with a support diluc 😂
The biggest point I love about the kaeya, bennet rosaria and xiangling team is that nobody takes too much field time, so its a crazy fast melt/rev melt team
One of the few people who is not screaming "NOOO CHONGYUN SHATTERS IT'S NOT WORTH IIIIT" and that means you already deserved a like. I hate when people make it into a big problem because it's literally not. Sure, you might have to doge one or two times, but in general, if the enemy is unfrozen - they are going to get staggered and freeze again in a moment. So when people that MAIN hem say "ye he is bad at freeze combo cuz shatter and 4p blizzard is a waste" I'm raising my eyebrow sky-high. I mean sure, Rosaria or Kaeya don't shatter enemies, but they also can't provide an infusion for themselves to have their numbers be buffed by Kazuha or Shenhe. They hit a cryo once in 6 seconds and every other time it will be physical damage. So placing Chongyun as a dps makes you have a one spot available to put BOTH Shenhe and Kazuha in, resulting in even bigger damage boosts :)) I have every unit in the game, every "broken" character fully built, but Chongyun is still the strongest and most comfortable for me to use :p
Imagine chongyun is like a long term shinobu. Like imagine when we arrive in shneznahya, he become thé best 4* character due to the New mecanics of thé game, it could be wholesome
I looked for a comment like this because: same. Funny how vastly opinions on Chongyun vary, while Vars says he became worse, dragonfly says he became better with the recent updates and I'm here like: huh.
@@CraftyCoffee33 it's not the first time Vars is not getting deep into a character and just gives out surface-level stuff tbh but why no one plays Chongyun and Yanfei were his worst videos, ngl. Which sucks because those are ones of my favorite 4* in the game and both are very underrated. And I looked forward to seeing what he will tell us in his analysis. I kinda hoped he would draw attention to the positives where there is something good to highlight and he did not make it any better by saying generic "well Shogun Hu Tao Ganyu and Ayaka exist so why bother?" That's literally most of wnp. It's laughable how he compared Chongyun's C2 to Shenhe and "well Shenhe will buff your cryo party so Chongyun is not that good" completely ignoring Chongyun's burst and gameplay style. I commented on that under his video but it's literally like comparing Xingqiu and Kokomi and saying "Kokomi heals more so Xingqiu is kinda unneeded" completely ignoring that Xingqiu's heal is a cherry on top, not the focus. Also, no mention that Chongyun is Shenhe's best partner because his strikes while slow, are strong, and single, and Shenhe's buff is restricted to the number of the attacks, making every other cryo unit receive a big but a very short buff. Chongyun can have ALL of his ult buffed, his E, and a couple of basics. Ganyu is the only one to receive the similar if you ignore her ult, losing the damage bonus from it. I got a feeling that he simply didn't care enough to spend more time on him. Very ironic, cuz in the video footage his Chongyun literally deletes enemies with his ult bruh. This is literally the same as what people like Ayaka for. But no one actually uses Ayaka in the melt combos as far as I know, because her ult sucks at keeping enemies together. Chongyun doesn't have that problem but for some reason, his ult is still "meh" to some people and I don't get it at all.
@@ryzhik9608 Hm I generally thought Vars is just really nitpicky on purpose and points out everthing that could make a unit less to undesireable to the broader community who doesn't know/read/memorises the talents and mechanics in depth, which is fine to me. But also in that case you probably don't care if he shatters all the frozen enemies and has low multipliers on NAs because what is meta is irrelevant to you anyway? As you say, Vars usually also talks about the good aspects and what would be needed to "buff" the character he is discussing, he didn't do that with Chongyun and compared all his abilities to other existing units "who do it better". Definitely agree with you there! That made his video seem very negative to me, as if Chongyun is just not viable to have in your team at all and that makes me sad. I also really like dps Yanfei and I think at the time I already had her build so I watched his video about her but didn't take it too serious bc I def would not change her or bench her because of it, as I do enjoy her a lot anyway. He says he doesn't mean "no one plays them" in a literal way in his disclaimers and knows mains of every character are out there, but I think the Chongyun video is especially de-motivating to ppl like me who, in this case, are unsure of how to play the blue exorcist to begin with. I have only tried out beloved popsicle boy-Chongyun a couple of times by now, because I have no rly good greatswords to give him and have yet to find a team/playstyle that I personally enjoy (I don't have Shenhe and don't use Bennet at all). I think my best bet would be to use him with cryo Rosaria but then again, I like to make my favs the on field dps and sadly I don't like his slow NAs that much. Maybe I will try Yun Jin and XL with him someday. Yeah, so basically I watched this video after Vars' in hope of finding a good playstyle for him still and it was definitely more helpful xD thank you dragonfly!
@@CraftyCoffee33 It's not about him showing where the short end of the stick comes. It's about him dismissing positives by saying "ye you think this one is good? but it's not, because others can do better". Like jeez, he really made it seem that Chongyun has zero positives and is just a drawback to the team when it's not true at all. While he is no Bennett or Xingqiu, what he does is a nice bonus to his team. "His ult? Big damage, but nothing special he is able to give to the team" uhh national team is literally a quick-swap team, his huge nuke is the cherry on top, he does a lot of damage. What else is there to desire? "His C2? Shenhe can buff better (lmao buff who? national team members? what Chongyun does is cutting CDs that can be handy for everyone, not just cryo units)". I can't help but feel he was much more nitpicky than needed. He didn't bring up his 2nd passive at all which is shredding the cryo resistance of enemies. I main this boy for almost a year and a half now and he can be anything to your team. He is nice in the melt as burst dps or main dps, quick-swap, freeze (yes, shatter is a thing but it's nothing as dramatic as people make it out to be. Chongyun can stagger enemies, he does get blizzard strayer buff and it works fine). Most people now are bragging about how the game is boring to them and I'm sitting here with my Chongyun enabling so many funny cringe builds like Granpa Frost (cryo Zhongli) and many others. And he is good at those roles.
I absolutely love your guide videos! You're 100% my fave "Genshin" youtuber and I always look for your videos when searching for a genshin character guide! ^^
Been playing Chongyun a lot lately, after Ganyu and Ayaya dropped the cryo dps role was more or less stolen from him, but damn I still think he has some of the coolest animations in Genshin right now.
Just since i have a very unique team build here and this is a very good guide, i personally use Chongyun in a team comp that mainly relies on cryo damage and elemental reactions. So i have him as a main dps and formed the team around him focusing mainly on who i like. Which ended up being Main DPS Chongyun, Sub DPS Traveler, Healer Yanfei (which ngl is kinda cracked) and Off-Field Support Fischl. Although the last two will eventually get replaced with a healer Heizou and a subdps Albedo. But that's not what i have now. My Chongyun has Prototype Archaic, 2pc Blizzard Strayer and 2pc Gladiators. Since Chongyun naturally gains Defence stat by Ascension, i have no problem with it on my artifacts (although i always seem to get crit dmg and em anyway.) He's currently level 80 as of writing (AR 45) and does about 1.3k fairly regularly. I don't really use my Traveler but when i do often she'll be the one to do the shatter reactions if he's not on field. Yanfei is mostly there for the burst heals, but she's there for the melt reaction as well and if Chongyun happens to get defeated (considering he's a claymore user so he attacks slowly) then Yanfei's elemental mastery can also be paired with Fischl's Electro damage for overload as a backup plan. (That also means if both Yunyun and Yanfei die i'm kinda screwed, but i'm working on that.) My Yanfei is mostly an EM/healing build, except she has 2pc OHC and 2pc Maiden's paired with a Prototype Amber. It works pretty well. Lumine just has random artifacts slapped on her that attempt to do some kind of elemental damage, she's pretty makeshift. Fischl has a full em build that also focuses on Electro damage. It's an unexpectedly good team synergy that focuses on Chongyun doing Cryo damage and the others playing off that however they can, mostly in the form of elemental reactions. I'm a lore-based player, so this isn't a comp for everyone, but it works well- i got these characters way back at the start and this is pretty much how it's been since, it's carried me through the entire game. So give it a shot if you want!
Stoppp cause I was mentally thinking about a finding a Chongyun video to help my build and this showed up- I’ve been a Chongyun main since beginning game, I’m talking Venti’s first banner beginning and I still can never get good artifacts for him since I play and a pretty simple pace. I’ve been wanted to get him triple crowned with a lovey five star weapon to show off my baby. Thanks for all the help!! Definitely saving for Yelan and Shenhe next banners couldn’t the first game cause im f2p- my current team is him, Xingqiu, Bennett and Kazuha
I hope more people see how good my boy Chongyun can be! He is my most invested unit, I love him too much. He was one of my first 4 stars and I fell for him hard. I am quite confident on his stats, so I'll share: Lvl 90, triple crowned. R5 Serpent Spine Stats ATK 1939 (2122 w/ pyro res) EM 131 ER 134.3% 64.8% / 186.8% (w/cryo res: 79.8% CR to cryo affected opponents) 4pc gladiator I like using cryo + pyro res (Shenhe C0 R1 Chongyun Bennett Xiangling/Thoma), but mono cryo is also great (replace Xiangling/Thoma with Sucrose, and sometimes Bennett with Barbara for shatter or Diona for shielding). The highest I've done with one of the swords from his burst was 200k for a single blade. They all have to crit and melt/whatever, so it's hard to do a consistent number, but going over 100k with each blade isn't that hard. His E does at least 50k without really trying, and his basics go from 20k to 40k when buffed. My Chongyun is absolutely disgusting and I love him... But he does need a team that caters to him if you want him to perform as a main DPS. He is great for those pesky Abyss Lecter shields too! I paired him with Xiao and the floor was a breeze. It kinda sucks that I must always put him on the first slot of the team in Abyss so he will get the Serpent Spine stacks before I press start. Anyway, nice video, and long life to Chongyun!!
For the freeze teams with kaeya or rosaria, I would usually run Jean rather than sucrose to help with survivability, especially since freeze teams dont really need the EM share that sucrose offers
so heres a vary unexpecting usage to get quad melt on his burst, ambers burst has enough pyro application to allow for quad melt. and if you somehow got C6 amber is also a 15% atk boost
One of my favourite teams for Spiral abyss is my Freeze team with Kaeya, Kazuha, Chongyun and Kokomi. Also used teams with Jean and Xingqiu but nobody can replace Chongyun in that team for me. Kaeya with cryo infusion is really strong.
This came at a great time. I’m progressively building my characters and Chongyun is my next character to work on. I’ve had his c6 since forever ago so I’m happy with this video!
I main Chongyun with Xiao , Xingqiu and Qiqi ( with 210% ER , Festering Desire and Clam set . I know Diona would work better. But I used Lithic on Xiao until very recently ( now with Jade )
Damn I'm late, but Chungyun + Razor + Xingqui really works well together to get a lot superconduct, freeze, and overcharge in a quite short time. Add any sub supports like Thoma and c6 Bennett for melts/overpower or just add a dendro teammate like the traveler to add bloom/hyperblooms happen to be really good
I said it once, I’ll say it again. Chongyun with kazuha/Bennett/xiangling (if kazuha is c2) is actually very competitive with meta team comps. This comp actually clears content faster than my xingqiu kazuha national comp. Kazuha c2 does take him to another level, but Chongyun is honestly criminally underrated.
The timing of this guide is flawless because I just started building him to use him on my dailies/friendship team. Considering he spook the shit out of Kuki Shinobu with his c10, I'm taking this as an attempt to get my attention and my god, he got it. I need someone fun to build anyway
I use Chongyun ( FISH Claymore / blizzard & wanderer ), Shenhe ( Fav / full Atk ), XianglIng (Catch / Emblem ), Bennett( Fav / nb ) Chongyun and Xiangling are the dmg dealers with both their great supports :) . honestly I usually dont worry about his energy since its 60.
I was thinking about building another team centered around Kaeya as the main DPS and saw that Chongyun was on Itto's banner so I was like: i'm gonna try to pull for Chongyun as a support and I got him on the first ten pull 😀
I use him with 4 piece Nobless with the Inazuma Claymore. It really helps that I don't need much ER on him and I can funnel the particles to Ayaka or my other suppoets
chongyun was the backbone of my teams as support while i was starting out and i still use him to this day. keqing chongyun xinqiu, diona so i had a good time learning and playing with him^^.
Chongyun when paired with Qiqi makes cryo goblet and 2pc blizzard useful on her because of his ability to infuse swords, polearms, and claymores with cryo.
i've got him c6 triple crowned. he has the loveliest appearance (in my humble opinion) in all of genshin and has been one of my favourites since like,,, november 2020 when i got him.
I main Chongyun for a year now. Blizzard Strayer (4-pc) is not that bad as many people would say. Though he does not recieve all benefits from the 4-pc passive, it's a lie to say he doesn't benefit from it in any way. I toyed around his artifact sets a lot and tried to tinker with different combinations of artifacts. These are viable options I would recommend: 2-piece Artifacts to Use, you can mix them as freely as you want. - 15% Cry DMG Bonus (Blizzard Strayer) - 18% ATK (Gladiator's Finale, Shimenawa's Reminiscence, Vermillion Hereafter and/or Echoes of an Offering) - Elemental Burst DMG +20% (Noblesse Oblige) - Energy Recharge +20% (Emblem of Severed Fate) - Elemental Mastery +80 (Wanderer's Troupe) [Only for Shatter Comps] 4-piece Artifacts to use. - Blizzard Strayer - Emblem of Severed Fate - Gladiator's Finale - Shimenawa's Reminiscence
i main chongyun for a long time and carried me into ar45 and u can experience hell and heaven if u give him a good team or not and i did some crazy things in him i run him at physical build with 2p of pale flame and 2p of bloodstained chivalry and some cryo dmg bonus for sands and now i cannot change it since it boosts his overall
I play reverse melt chongyun but I really want a shenhe rerun for the family reunion + shatter team comp. I want to move on from using him as a burst dps and make him the cryo carry that he was meant to be
Regarding a full Chongyun QUAD melt with Bennett:
the best way to go about it is by casting Bennett’s Q -> E -> AOE Swirl Pyro -> Chongyun Q
This should generally enhance the pyro that Bennett applied enough for Chongyun’s burst to melt 4 full times at c6
ALSO, regarding the viability of 4pc Blizzard Strayer on Chongyun:
Yes, chongyun shatters freeze in almost every attack his kit provides, making the full 40% crit rate more inconsistent for chongyun to use than it would be for.. Ayaka or Ganyu (they dont shatter)
HOWEVER, I circumvented this with high cryo application so that Chongyun is still reliably benefiting from at least the 35% crit rate bonus (20% from bliz, 15% from cryo resonance) and it works consistently, even allowing some of his attacks to benefit from the full 40% blizzard bonus, just very occassionally.
The point of that is mostly to say: 4pc blizzard is not as effective on Chongyun as it is for Ayaka or Ganyu or any cryo character that does not shatter a frozen enemy, BUT, there are reliable ways around this issue that will still allow you to run a lower crit rate in exchange for a higher crit damage ratio, as you can see from my own shatterfreeze chongyun team footage in this video.
hence why i recommended a general safe minimum of 20% crit rate for a blizzard build, so that you're at LEAST consistently striking with 55% crit rate

Hehe dendro goes brrr and no swirl pyro
Atkspd Ayato sunfire? Ayato, Benny, Jean(c2), Cy(SoBP). Ben > Cy > Jean > Ayato
Does Blizzard Strayer 4 set bonus affect Ayaka melt reaction? I mean during melt, the enemy got both pyro and cryo aura so I wonder if the crit +20%
If I could suggest maybe not using Terms like Q and E when referring to the skill and the Bursts. Lots of people (Including me) play on the PlayStation or on there phones so when you say Q and E I don't know which one your talking about. it's just an accessibility thing you might want to consider because its just more work for me when i have to look up which is which every time. liked the guide otherwise, I love Chongyun in my benny melt team.
Nah
4-pc Noblesse Bennett Q (not on enemy) → Chongyun E (on enemy) → 4-pc VV Sucrose E → 4-pc Instructor Amber Q → Chongyun Q
I never thought Chongyun was even a bad character it's just there aren't any characters that can use him to his full potential. As the character diversity increases he'll age like fine wine 🍷
-Keaya 2022
@HoshikosDream bro tried to correct him but really bro needs correction himself
Chongyun, Xingqiu, xinglang, benett.. i cant spell their names well, but those are the support characters I’m planning to build for national support team1. It’s a great support team I’ve seen.
Bennet, furina, kazuha try it
I love his kit I got shenhe especially for him
he got his auntie supporting him!! you’ve reunited a family
I thought I was the only one who did cursed things like that lol. I got Shenhe for Chongyun even though I have neither Ganyu nor Ayaka and don't really want them either
Add diona lol
@@Ak-ik8tc I have Ayaka and Ganyu, but recently got to building Chongyun and Rosaria. I’m having a lot of fun playing with Chongyun and Rosaria - maybe more than Ayaka and Ganyu? Anyway, I really need Shenhe for cryptic supremacy!
They support each other
chongyun mains lets goooooo
ive never seen anyone else do this, but by using thoma you can actually get chongyun’s normal attacks to melt and get him to output a lot of damage, and it also means its ridiculously easy to set up a melt nuke with his burst. i regularly get 18k-25k normal attacks with it, and his auto attacks are actually a lot faster than other claymore users, and his a1 helps with that.
I thought Thoma's pyro application was too slow? Will definitely test this out though thanks :)
@@kou2823 it can be slow, so i tend to use another form of pyro application as well, like an aoe swirl of pyro (usually from kazuha) or bennett, but for the most part i use both of them. if everything lines up nicely i can get melts for every other normal attack
been looking for an excuse to use thoma, thanks!
Damn I gotta try that
My main 4 i use are:
Ayato
Chongyun
Kuki Shinobu
Thoma
They work SO well together!
I was watching GNCS (Genshin CN championship) today on tenten's stream and you won't believe it but Chongyun main dps smoked a Ganyu Shenhe melt team. Although it was a specifically good scenario for Chongyun (Hydro Abyss heralds) his 416k nuke is too good for a 40 burst cost.
HOLY SHIT thanks a lot for telling me that. I just watched it and it sure as hell made my day
link?
@@redpoem_2439 m.twitch.tv/videos/1514403034
I guess it was around 1:10:00
Yea and its Ojou once again. Same player that did the sucrose self hydro absorption on the double ayaka season.
It was funny. The Chinese players were going "Eula is also known as little ChongYun"
OH MY GOD I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I'M SO HAPPY
as a chongyun main and enjoyer, thank you for showing him some appreciation
As a Chongyun main, I think my favourite iteration of him is when he is paired with Shenhe to turn every melee character into cryo dps. Yes, it is pure copium but it's funny as shit to see 20k+ cryo numbers on non-cryo characters.
@@GraveUypo what? How does zhongli do that with shenhe(1) chongyub (2) kazuha (3) yunjin (4) zhongli (5)? 5 characters?
LMFAOOO TRUEEEE
I actually really like him for the CD reduction he offers with his skill thanks to 2d constellation
It's very pog with anemo resonance as well. Literally quick swap heaven
yeah my original copium was that if nothing else, his c2 was CRAZYYY good, especially considering unlike raiden’s cooldown reduction, he can actually make use of it just as much as his teams can in most situations
No mames es hyurno ,no pense que te podria ver aqui ,osea que juegas genshin impact y yo sin saberlo lol
I’ve always used chongyun as a melt enabler with diluc, and no real weapons or artifact builds really make that strategy more powerful, so instead i give him the luxurious sea lord and the nobless + cryo set to make chongyun a burst nuke for quick swaps as the scaling is pretty crazy especially at c6
Do you have any advice for diluc and chongyun rotations? I'm planning to run them together as well with sayu for a claymore only team
@@sandywaffles2370 not much, chongyun is rather flexible depending on what you want to do with him, it mainly comes down to how you use your diluc combos and making sure to wait for the reaction cooldown to end before using your elemental skill, normal attacking in the meantime to make sure cryo is up ofc
@@sandywaffles2370 Your 4th party member if you plan for claymore only should be either Xinyan for pyro resonance or Noelle for her shield. None of the other released claymore users look like they’d really help in this comp.
If you’re planning to just bring the squad to the overworld for dailies and stuff, you can just slap down Chongyun’s E and have Diluc carry you with melts and things should die well enough. Just look to see if cryo is applied before hitting each Diluc E and you should be golden. Also if you accidentally start charge attacking hit the jump button to get out of it.
Just know that if you’re on grass, Diluc will light the ground on fire after his 2nd E, so pyro will end up stuck on the enemies. You could throw in a Chongyun ult or E if available after the ground catches fire or just continue your Diluc sequence. Even with full Witch and Pyro goblet, Diluc’s cryo normal attacks should still be higher than Chongyun’s.
For more drawn out fights with bosses and stuff, you’ll likely need to infuse Sayu’s ult with pyro for Chongyun’s ult or cryo for Diluc’s ult sequence. For Diluc, she’ll likely end up being the one melting as you keep hitting enemies with your pyro infusion attacks, so building some EM on her isn’t a bad idea.
Your 4th party teammate has a couple options for artifacts including 4 piece Instructor, which can also help out with EM. A refined Favonius is highly recommended for Sayu, your 4th slot choice, or even both to keep the energy flowing.
@@a-non6238 Thanks for all the info! I did forget that the instructor set existed...got to go regrind that set if I want to use it but i would probably bring xinyan as a low cost ult spam...maybe it would be worth building def for shield but maybe not.
honestly, chongyun diluc is an overrated pair
diluc's burst infuses his auto attacks with pyro, and the infusion can't be overridden, so chongyun's skill does basically nothing but reduce your cooldown (which isn't useful with diluc anyways, since without the cooldown reduction, diluc already has 100% burst uptime)
Since I got Chongyun I slowly moved from being Kaeya main only to Chongyun main and oh my god with Bennett my team became whole another beast. He deserves much more love
As a chongyun main, everyday i realize that his damage could be better so I came here. I love him.
Chongyun was the first character i pulled and i have mained him ever since then
I use him in a team kazuha, kokomi and shenhe and for freeze and shatter doesnt really matter so much cause i just re-apply cryo and freeze the enemies again + extra shatter damage
Plus in that team he can easily do 50k x 4 on his burst and no need to freeze the enemies if they are all dead
Shenhe 10k+ per normal hit after cryo buff and E from Chong and Koko
Nice team . I only have Kazuha.
My non meta team with my Chongyun is Xiao, Chongyun, His boyfriend Xingqiu and Qiqi.
Diona would be better for this team . But I used Xiao with Lithic until very recently ( now with Jade ) .
My Qiqi probably have one of the highest ER around at 210% with Festering. If I use Skyward ( on Benny ) , I can get about 20 points more .
Lost my 50/50 on koko banner so I use the same but Barbara
Sometimes I swap for a melt team with hutao,
@@cocobos fr, if theres any downtime which is pretty rare in the team i can just use shenhe to whack the enemies
as a chongyun main, i approve of this! he is so fun to use especially in the open world where he just *bonks* every enemy >:) ty for the amazing video!!
Kaeya main here! I've been running him with xingqiu (sac sword), chongyun (sac greatsword) and either kazuha or yunjin with a bunch of def stacked! Kaeya's normal attacks hit super hard, not to mention how easily enemies stay frozen since kaeya doesn't shatter. It's an amazing team and pretty f2p friendly too!
That’s literally my freeze team
I’m delighted to see you give some love to my popsicle boy. Kudos and keep doing what you do for the community!
As a chongyun main its still nice to see people still acknowledge him
15:00 you can swap kayea or rosaria to Qiqi in this team so you will have enough survivability. Also she has one of if not the fastest attack speed in the game so she can benefit hard from chongyun's att speed buff you mentioned earlier
THANK YOU for mentioning freeze cryo DPS Kaeya with Chongyun. The team is so strong and can compete along the lines of Ayaka with high investment. 10/10 recommend
Yeah, I 36* last cycle of the Abyss with them, the one with heralds\lectors. I don't have any of the 5* cryos, but luckily Kaeyun can get the job done quite comfortably.
***This is why I will always always MAIN CHONGYUN***
CDR + Attack speed from his zone is very comfy. Especially when infusion is not overriden - Ayato, Itto, Tartaglia can SHRED with the buff (and Chong can provide Noblesse). Though not always needed, Yoimiya can get better skill uptime with him. Ayaka becomes stronger. You can get better rotations on important skills from Diona, Fischl, Noelle without having Sacrificial weapons
I experimented Tartaglia with Chongyun and casting Tartag skill I the zone keeps the CDR if you leave the area
ayato/itto/tartaglia doesn't need the cooldown reduction though..? downtime on characters because you're gonna do rotations/battery the characters anyways though. i honestly think that c2 is a niche constellation that works best in quickswap comps (national/freeze), and although it's still appreciated in all teams, it's just unnecessary sometimes due to the fact that you need to do your rotation, in which case, your cooldown would be over already by the time you finish it
@@cadetic agree but for those 3 i mostly referred to attack speed, as a very rare buff in the game
I always him as a flex option in triple geo team to break non-cryo elemental shields. I remember in the Abyss I just get the herald to generate his shield then apply Chongyun's E and go to town with Zhongli. This is because Zhongli attacks very fast so he can make use of Chongyun's cryo infusion
Chongjin my boy one of my first pulls
why have i just now found this channel... your opening was so good, i love your energy! glad to have come across this guide!!! love my freezy pop eatin boy! so nice to see some divergent content that focuses on niche team building its really nice!
Chongyun is my first 4* (if not counting the guarantied one's), and he is my fav character even now. I'm 59 rank now, and this guy is still staying at my main character slot (avatar), never changing never stoping to love this guy
An updated Chongyun guide YES!
I hope we see even more team comps with him!
As a Chongy main for over a year now I never once thought he's outdated. On the contrary with every new character I get I find him working great. I have tried out so many comps and my favorites are Chongyun, Ayato, Albedo/(Sucrose), Benny/(Kuki, Xiangling, Thoma)
You can never go wrong with the main 4 and the substitutes are good for certain situations~
Fun little trick with Chongyuns A4 passive, that follow up cryo sword at the end of his field duration can proc the energy cost then regen effect of the Katsuragikiri Nagamasa claymore and has the same cool down at 10 seconds meaning a single skill use from chongyun can trigger the effect twice (once at the start and second at the end of the field duration), which at r5 is 24(-3 then +15 over 6 seconds twice) energy, plus it has ER substat in the 40's so if you use that sword you need pretty much no other sources of energy, If I ever actually get a good shimenawa set I wanna try using that on him with that sword and shenhe and yelan. Heck even the shimenawa set has a 10 second duration, even more timing synergy, though I still need to test if that followup sword would trigger the shimenawa energy cost too...if so i'd need to make sure to swap off just before the field ends so only the swords passive (which works off-field) triggers.
0:40 that was a sick burn, love it!
Yooo this video came at the perfect time! I’ve had c6 chongyun for awhile now so this video really helps to know his true potential! CHONGYUN SUPREMACY BEGINS!!!
i started a new account and i main chongyun, i love him
I just started giving some love to this boy. After this video, I do have a theory but I can't go too much into details yet. I'm gonna say though, he's gonna use his burst TWICE every rotation.
he's the first character i got and and instantly decided to main him. his playstyle is so much fun for me. he's the first character i triple crowned and he's still in my team. i'd never bench him lol
I have loved Chongyun since I ever got him. I have not seen anyone do Chongyun, Mona, Xiangling, and Jean. It is actually fun to play with you being to do multiple different effects depending on what you are fighting.
Chongyun, my first main dps, first character and 4 star
This kid is so satisfying to use be it burst dps or main dps
I got shenhe and Bennett for this man, slept in noblesse and blizzard domain for over 3 months, first crown was given to his burst
However, I have no luck with those domains, his crit 65:170 dogwater, weapon is blackcliff, dogwater, constellations is c4, dogwater, attack 1800, dogwater
My chongyun is kinda dogwater
Got mines to c6 and got Itto first 10x wish. Might make use of him now since I used him to bring my team to Inazuma.
I KNOW RIGHT???? SAME.
It's good to see my favorite genshin character being brought up despite being rarely used in the game usually.
Wow this so useful because I recently raised chongyun since I lacked a cryo dps on my account
Dragonfly: Def and HP substats shouldn't exist
Noelle, Albedo and Kokomi: So I took that personally
I’m currently building Main DPS Shenhe with him as a support and was wondering what artifacts to put on him. Thanks for the vid, it was a big help!
I use him in a team with Kaeya, Xiangling and Bennett with Kaeya as the main DPS. Quickswap heaven with Kaeya reverse melting and Xiangling sometimes forward melting her Pyronado for 50k to 60k damage. Chong can do a solid 120k+ with his burst on Pyro-applied targets. The team works wonders.
I tried out a new melt /reverse melt team and i call it the "todoroki" team with diluc bennet chongyun an rosaria and it's uncredibly fun to play i think you should try it it's like the basic childe vape team where childe is an enabler for xiangling in this case diluc with his burst infusion is an enabler for rosaria and chongyun is here so diluc can melt his E alone when rosaria doesn't have burst and to nuke for big PP dmg and batterie rosaria it's a blast to play and is really powerful if any one reading has these characters try it out and for everyone asking why diluc in particular well he has the fastest pyro application from the character i own and i think even in general because his E doesn't have ICD so he can help rosaria melt her things more than hutao yaomiya xiangling etc, i think the only one better then him is probably C6 Bennet which i don't have.... Yet.... anyway thx for reading and childe is the best character in the game
I've tried something similar to this, just kaeya, rosaria bennet and xiangling and it works wonders since no one has to take too much field time+short e cooldown+burst that works off field, it takes a bit of investment but it's so satisfying to play!
@@dragonsstars7734 yeah i tried it too but i found out that this team is mostly a xiangling melt team which is really good but i was going for a rosaria reverse melt and i found it impossible to do so because xiangling doesn't provide nearly the same pyro application as other characters and chongyun is more fun to use for me than keaya in a cryo DPS scenario i prefer keaya as a physical DPS
@@celestien4647 are you sure? xiangling 100% applies enough pyro idk what you're talking ab, ESPECIALLY when rosaria is reverse melting
@@celestien4647 Hmm, it worked pretty well for me, and was a ton of fun, but i understand having a preference makes a big difference! Personally I really love kaeya so he slots in just perfectly. I either play that team for my kaeya or go full freeze with my boy chong since i got the mistsplitter, it's also super fun, plus it reminds me of the time when I just started the game and mained chongyun, with a support diluc 😂
The biggest point I love about the kaeya, bennet rosaria and xiangling team is that nobody takes too much field time, so its a crazy fast melt/rev melt team
One of the few people who is not screaming "NOOO CHONGYUN SHATTERS IT'S NOT WORTH IIIIT" and that means you already deserved a like.
I hate when people make it into a big problem because it's literally not. Sure, you might have to doge one or two times, but in general, if the enemy is unfrozen - they are going to get staggered and freeze again in a moment. So when people that MAIN hem say "ye he is bad at freeze combo cuz shatter and 4p blizzard is a waste" I'm raising my eyebrow sky-high. I mean sure, Rosaria or Kaeya don't shatter enemies, but they also can't provide an infusion for themselves to have their numbers be buffed by Kazuha or Shenhe. They hit a cryo once in 6 seconds and every other time it will be physical damage. So placing Chongyun as a dps makes you have a one spot available to put BOTH Shenhe and Kazuha in, resulting in even bigger damage boosts :))
I have every unit in the game, every "broken" character fully built, but Chongyun is still the strongest and most comfortable for me to use :p
13:22 - that transition was beautiful oh my
Imagine chongyun is like a long term shinobu. Like imagine when we arrive in shneznahya, he become thé best 4* character due to the New mecanics of thé game, it could be wholesome
I'm was just going to level chongyun to play cryzuha team, thanks for the guide c:
When you watch this a day after Vars II makes a video on why Chongyun isn't used that much....
just came here after watching var's "Why no one plays chongyun".
same
I looked for a comment like this because: same. Funny how vastly opinions on Chongyun vary, while Vars says he became worse, dragonfly says he became better with the recent updates and I'm here like: huh.
@@CraftyCoffee33 it's not the first time Vars is not getting deep into a character and just gives out surface-level stuff tbh but why no one plays Chongyun and Yanfei were his worst videos, ngl. Which sucks because those are ones of my favorite 4* in the game and both are very underrated. And I looked forward to seeing what he will tell us in his analysis. I kinda hoped he would draw attention to the positives where there is something good to highlight and he did not make it any better by saying generic "well Shogun Hu Tao Ganyu and Ayaka exist so why bother?" That's literally most of wnp.
It's laughable how he compared Chongyun's C2 to Shenhe and "well Shenhe will buff your cryo party so Chongyun is not that good" completely ignoring Chongyun's burst and gameplay style. I commented on that under his video but it's literally like comparing Xingqiu and Kokomi and saying "Kokomi heals more so Xingqiu is kinda unneeded" completely ignoring that Xingqiu's heal is a cherry on top, not the focus. Also, no mention that Chongyun is Shenhe's best partner because his strikes while slow, are strong, and single, and Shenhe's buff is restricted to the number of the attacks, making every other cryo unit receive a big but a very short buff. Chongyun can have ALL of his ult buffed, his E, and a couple of basics. Ganyu is the only one to receive the similar if you ignore her ult, losing the damage bonus from it.
I got a feeling that he simply didn't care enough to spend more time on him. Very ironic, cuz in the video footage his Chongyun literally deletes enemies with his ult bruh. This is literally the same as what people like Ayaka for. But no one actually uses Ayaka in the melt combos as far as I know, because her ult sucks at keeping enemies together. Chongyun doesn't have that problem but for some reason, his ult is still "meh" to some people and I don't get it at all.
@@ryzhik9608 Hm I generally thought Vars is just really nitpicky on purpose and points out everthing that could make a unit less to undesireable to the broader community who doesn't know/read/memorises the talents and mechanics in depth, which is fine to me. But also in that case you probably don't care if he shatters all the frozen enemies and has low multipliers on NAs because what is meta is irrelevant to you anyway?
As you say, Vars usually also talks about the good aspects and what would be needed to "buff" the character he is discussing, he didn't do that with Chongyun and compared all his abilities to other existing units "who do it better". Definitely agree with you there! That made his video seem very negative to me, as if Chongyun is just not viable to have in your team at all and that makes me sad.
I also really like dps Yanfei and I think at the time I already had her build so I watched his video about her but didn't take it too serious bc I def would not change her or bench her because of it, as I do enjoy her a lot anyway. He says he doesn't mean "no one plays them" in a literal way in his disclaimers and knows mains of every character are out there, but I think the Chongyun video is especially de-motivating to ppl like me who, in this case, are unsure of how to play the blue exorcist to begin with.
I have only tried out beloved popsicle boy-Chongyun a couple of times by now, because I have no rly good greatswords to give him and have yet to find a team/playstyle that I personally enjoy (I don't have Shenhe and don't use Bennet at all). I think my best bet would be to use him with cryo Rosaria but then again, I like to make my favs the on field dps and sadly I don't like his slow NAs that much. Maybe I will try Yun Jin and XL with him someday.
Yeah, so basically I watched this video after Vars' in hope of finding a good playstyle for him still and it was definitely more helpful xD thank you dragonfly!
@@CraftyCoffee33 It's not about him showing where the short end of the stick comes. It's about him dismissing positives by saying "ye you think this one is good? but it's not, because others can do better". Like jeez, he really made it seem that Chongyun has zero positives and is just a drawback to the team when it's not true at all. While he is no Bennett or Xingqiu, what he does is a nice bonus to his team. "His ult? Big damage, but nothing special he is able to give to the team" uhh national team is literally a quick-swap team, his huge nuke is the cherry on top, he does a lot of damage. What else is there to desire? "His C2? Shenhe can buff better (lmao buff who? national team members? what Chongyun does is cutting CDs that can be handy for everyone, not just cryo units)". I can't help but feel he was much more nitpicky than needed.
He didn't bring up his 2nd passive at all which is shredding the cryo resistance of enemies.
I main this boy for almost a year and a half now and he can be anything to your team. He is nice in the melt as burst dps or main dps, quick-swap, freeze (yes, shatter is a thing but it's nothing as dramatic as people make it out to be. Chongyun can stagger enemies, he does get blizzard strayer buff and it works fine). Most people now are bragging about how the game is boring to them and I'm sitting here with my Chongyun enabling so many funny cringe builds like Granpa Frost (cryo Zhongli) and many others. And he is good at those roles.
I absolutely love your guide videos! You're 100% my fave "Genshin" youtuber and I always look for your videos when searching for a genshin character guide! ^^
i love chongyun
0:23 "cool as a cucumber" only if the cucumber has been baked from the sun on a 100°F day for an hour then sent into a furnace at 200°F
I LOVE using him with my ayato for his atk speed passive talent!!!
I’ve literally been looking for something like this so I didn’t drive myself crazy trying to use him so thank you
Been playing Chongyun a lot lately, after Ganyu and Ayaya dropped the cryo dps role was more or less stolen from him, but damn I still think he has some of the coolest animations in Genshin right now.
aye its nice seeing the chongyun love!
hes also a great enabler for ayato with a c6 yunjin, i really enjoy using chongyun
Just since i have a very unique team build here and this is a very good guide, i personally use Chongyun in a team comp that mainly relies on cryo damage and elemental reactions. So i have him as a main dps and formed the team around him focusing mainly on who i like. Which ended up being Main DPS Chongyun, Sub DPS Traveler, Healer Yanfei (which ngl is kinda cracked) and Off-Field Support Fischl. Although the last two will eventually get replaced with a healer Heizou and a subdps Albedo. But that's not what i have now.
My Chongyun has Prototype Archaic, 2pc Blizzard Strayer and 2pc Gladiators. Since Chongyun naturally gains Defence stat by Ascension, i have no problem with it on my artifacts (although i always seem to get crit dmg and em anyway.) He's currently level 80 as of writing (AR 45) and does about 1.3k fairly regularly. I don't really use my Traveler but when i do often she'll be the one to do the shatter reactions if he's not on field. Yanfei is mostly there for the burst heals, but she's there for the melt reaction as well and if Chongyun happens to get defeated (considering he's a claymore user so he attacks slowly) then Yanfei's elemental mastery can also be paired with Fischl's Electro damage for overload as a backup plan. (That also means if both Yunyun and Yanfei die i'm kinda screwed, but i'm working on that.)
My Yanfei is mostly an EM/healing build, except she has 2pc OHC and 2pc Maiden's paired with a Prototype Amber. It works pretty well. Lumine just has random artifacts slapped on her that attempt to do some kind of elemental damage, she's pretty makeshift. Fischl has a full em build that also focuses on Electro damage. It's an unexpectedly good team synergy that focuses on Chongyun doing Cryo damage and the others playing off that however they can, mostly in the form of elemental reactions. I'm a lore-based player, so this isn't a comp for everyone, but it works well- i got these characters way back at the start and this is pretty much how it's been since, it's carried me through the entire game. So give it a shot if you want!
thank you sm I have him on my main team
Stoppp cause I was mentally thinking about a finding a Chongyun video to help my build and this showed up- I’ve been a Chongyun main since beginning game, I’m talking Venti’s first banner beginning and I still can never get good artifacts for him since I play and a pretty simple pace. I’ve been wanted to get him triple crowned with a lovey five star weapon to show off my baby. Thanks for all the help!! Definitely saving for Yelan and Shenhe next banners couldn’t the first game cause im f2p- my current team is him, Xingqiu, Bennett and Kazuha
0:39 Oh my god, you killed me with that joke. Sorry, "exorcised".
I hope more people see how good my boy Chongyun can be! He is my most invested unit, I love him too much. He was one of my first 4 stars and I fell for him hard.
I am quite confident on his stats, so I'll share:
Lvl 90, triple crowned.
R5 Serpent Spine
Stats
ATK 1939 (2122 w/ pyro res)
EM 131
ER 134.3%
64.8% / 186.8%
(w/cryo res: 79.8% CR to cryo affected opponents)
4pc gladiator
I like using cryo + pyro res (Shenhe C0 R1 Chongyun Bennett Xiangling/Thoma), but mono cryo is also great (replace Xiangling/Thoma with Sucrose, and sometimes Bennett with Barbara for shatter or Diona for shielding).
The highest I've done with one of the swords from his burst was 200k for a single blade. They all have to crit and melt/whatever, so it's hard to do a consistent number, but going over 100k with each blade isn't that hard. His E does at least 50k without really trying, and his basics go from 20k to 40k when buffed.
My Chongyun is absolutely disgusting and I love him... But he does need a team that caters to him if you want him to perform as a main DPS.
He is great for those pesky Abyss Lecter shields too! I paired him with Xiao and the floor was a breeze. It kinda sucks that I must always put him on the first slot of the team in Abyss so he will get the Serpent Spine stacks before I press start.
Anyway, nice video, and long life to Chongyun!!
As a fellow DPS Chongyun main, I tip my hat to you 🥰
For the freeze teams with kaeya or rosaria, I would usually run Jean rather than sucrose to help with survivability, especially since freeze teams dont really need the EM share that sucrose offers
I play him with Shenhe, they compliment each other perfectly, atleast for me. Love the ice boy, so fun
so heres a vary unexpecting usage to get quad melt on his burst, ambers burst has enough pyro application to allow for quad melt. and if you somehow got C6 amber is also a 15% atk boost
Oh man. My 1st main dps! 😍
Hello I just want to say this is the best video you ever released. Chongyun supremacy
One of my favourite teams for Spiral abyss is my Freeze team with Kaeya, Kazuha, Chongyun and Kokomi. Also used teams with Jean and Xingqiu but nobody can replace Chongyun in that team for me. Kaeya with cryo infusion is really strong.
This came at a great time. I’m progressively building my characters and Chongyun is my next character to work on. I’ve had his c6 since forever ago so I’m happy with this video!
also he works so well with xiao for getting rid of hydro lectors
I main Chongyun with Xiao , Xingqiu and Qiqi ( with 210% ER , Festering Desire and Clam set .
I know Diona would work better. But I used Lithic on Xiao until very recently ( now with Jade )
Damn I'm late, but Chungyun + Razor + Xingqui really works well together to get a lot superconduct, freeze, and overcharge in a quite short time. Add any sub supports like Thoma and c6 Bennett for melts/overpower or just add a dendro teammate like the traveler to add bloom/hyperblooms happen to be really good
CHONGYUN MAINS ASSEMBLE
Amazing content as always
as a chongyun main, yes thank you :D
I said it once, I’ll say it again. Chongyun with kazuha/Bennett/xiangling (if kazuha is c2) is actually very competitive with meta team comps. This comp actually clears content faster than my xingqiu kazuha national comp. Kazuha c2 does take him to another level, but Chongyun is honestly criminally underrated.
The timing of this guide is flawless because I just started building him to use him on my dailies/friendship team. Considering he spook the shit out of Kuki Shinobu with his c10, I'm taking this as an attempt to get my attention and my god, he got it. I need someone fun to build anyway
I use Chongyun ( FISH Claymore / blizzard & wanderer ), Shenhe ( Fav / full Atk ), XianglIng (Catch / Emblem ), Bennett( Fav / nb )
Chongyun and Xiangling are the dmg dealers with both their great supports :)
.
honestly I usually dont worry about his energy since its 60.
I was thinking about building another team centered around Kaeya as the main DPS and saw that Chongyun was on Itto's banner so I was like: i'm gonna try to pull for Chongyun as a support and I got him on the first ten pull 😀
FINNALLY A PROPER GUIDE AFTER 2 MOUNTHS OF WANTING TO KNOW HOW TO BUILD HIM GOOD
🌸😹He would arrive with a vengeance and he would through utter skill showcase to the community that he is not to be forgotten nor trifled with.😼🌸
Chongyun is really good for perma freezing enemies. I wish I could pull just one more water vision character.
0:39 as a former long-time Chongyun main
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, good one! That was clever
I use him with 4 piece Nobless with the Inazuma Claymore. It really helps that I don't need much ER on him and I can funnel the particles to Ayaka or my other suppoets
i actually love using him in his original national team spot as the on field driver 😍4pc blizzard with redhorn makes him so fun to use 🎉
You're a lifesaver... Thank you so much
chongyun was the backbone of my teams as support while i was starting out and i still use him to this day. keqing chongyun xinqiu, diona so i had a good time learning and playing with him^^.
chongyun my beloved
Chongyun when paired with Qiqi makes cryo goblet and 2pc blizzard useful on her because of his ability to infuse swords, polearms, and claymores with cryo.
i've got him c6 triple crowned. he has the loveliest appearance (in my humble opinion) in all of genshin and has been one of my favourites since like,,, november 2020 when i got him.
I have him at C6. Someday, I'll make a team for him with Xingqiu, Yelan, & Shenhe (when she comes home). I want him to shine.
Meanwhile me who’s trying to maximize Chongyun’s NA damage with 4pc gladiator’s, Shenhe, Yunjin and Ayato’s NA buffing abilities:
Nice to see you reference the OG National Team
I really want this character. He just looks so cool. pun intended.
That joke was deadly fun not gonna lie, I laughed really hard
I main Chongyun for a year now.
Blizzard Strayer (4-pc) is not that bad as many people would say. Though he does not recieve all benefits from the 4-pc passive, it's a lie to say he doesn't benefit from it in any way.
I toyed around his artifact sets a lot and tried to tinker with different combinations of artifacts. These are viable options I would recommend:
2-piece Artifacts to Use, you can mix them as freely as you want.
- 15% Cry DMG Bonus (Blizzard Strayer)
- 18% ATK (Gladiator's Finale, Shimenawa's Reminiscence, Vermillion Hereafter and/or Echoes of an Offering)
- Elemental Burst DMG +20% (Noblesse Oblige)
- Energy Recharge +20% (Emblem of Severed Fate)
- Elemental Mastery +80 (Wanderer's Troupe) [Only for Shatter Comps]
4-piece Artifacts to use.
- Blizzard Strayer
- Emblem of Severed Fate
- Gladiator's Finale
- Shimenawa's Reminiscence
I still remember how happy I was when I got him on the standard banner ❤️❤️❤️
Man his burst is so fun to use, the damage is satisfying
I've been curious about Chongyun for a long time simply because his burst is so stylish. Can't justify it though.
i main chongyun for a long time and carried me into ar45 and u can experience hell and heaven if u give him a good team or not and i did some crazy things in him i run him at physical build with 2p of pale flame and 2p of bloodstained chivalry and some cryo dmg bonus for sands and now i cannot change it since it boosts his overall
Thank you. I can finally rebuild my first main effectively now. ❤
been stalking ur guides and now im early
Chong Chong kit is actually good and functional if his multiplier are decent.
10:36 *smiles because I have it and already gave it to him when I first got it*
I play reverse melt chongyun but I really want a shenhe rerun for the family reunion + shatter team comp. I want to move on from using him as a burst dps and make him the cryo carry that he was meant to be
