Find out the Best Weapons and Artifacts for Chongyun in our Best Build Guide. The Cryo Support of the National team in Genshin Impact!
Chongyun is a 4-Star Cryo Claymore user in Genshin Impact. Chongyun is an exorcist with an excess of ‘yang,’ or positive energy, which he was born with. This is both a plus and a minus for him. Chongyun has never seen a spirit despite being a skilled exorcist, as they flee from his pure yang spirit.
If he possesses the correct weapon and artifact, the four-star claymore user can still be fairly deadly in battle. It’s also worth noting that Chongyun is better used as a sub-DPS or a support character rather than the main DPS. This is partly owing to the fact that his non-elemental attacks aren’t as strong as those of most characters in his class, and his burst converts all damage done inside its field to freeze damage, which slows down reactions. Here is our Chongyun Best Build Guide.
Chongyun strikes the ground with his greatsword, causing a Cryo explosion in a circular AoE in front of him that deals Cryo DMG. After a short delay, the cold air created by the Cryo explosion will coalesce into a Chonghua Frost Field, within which all DMG done through Normal and Charged Attacks by Sword, Greatsword and Polearm-wielding characters will be converted to Cryo DMG.
Performing the secret hand seals, Chongyun summons 3 giant spirit blades in mid-air that fall to the earth one by one after a short delay, exploding as they hit the ground. When the spirit blades explode, they will deal AoE Cryo DMG and launch enemies.
When dispatched on an expedition in Liyue, time consumed is reduced by 25%.
Sword, Claymore, or Polearm-wielding characters within the field created by Spirit Blade – Chonghua’s Layered Frost have their Normal Attack SPD increased by 8%.
When the field created by Spirit Blade – Chonghua’s Layered Frost disappears, another spirit will be summoned to strike nearby enemies, dealing 100% of Chonghua’s Layered Frost’s Skill DMG as AoE Cryo DMG. Enemies hit by this blade will have their Cryo RES decreased by 10% for 8s.

Elemental Skills and Elemental Bursts cast within the Frost Field created by Spirit Blade – Chongyun’s Layered Frost have their CD time decreased by 15%.
Chongyun regenerates 1 Energy every time he hits an enemy affected by Cold or Frozen status effects. This effect can only occur once every 2s.
Spirit Blade – Cloud-parting Star deals 15% more DMG to enemies with a lower percentage of their Max HP remaining than Chongyun. This skill will also summon 1 additional spirit blade.
This was our Chongyun Best Build Guide. Chongyun’s normal attacks may be turned into cryo damage, making him best suited for a sub DPS position. We recommend pairing him with Diluc to help trigger melt or Razor for superconduct in a party. Or if not you can always use him in the best 4-Star National Team with Xiangling, Xingqiu and Bennett.
