Best Team

| The best lineup for Chongyun

Chongyun could be one of those Current best Ice character. Though his downside is converting all Physical Damage to Ice damage when he uses his Elemental Blast.

Senior team

Extra DPS	Main DPS	Support	Support
chongyun	Klee	Winds	fischl

– Chongyun will be starting point of all combos because he needs to apply Ice first to get the most out of Melt.

– Klee synergizes well with Chongyun because she can cause melting and because she doesn't use any Attack Physical Damage so she won't be affected by Chongyun's passive.

– Venti can group enemies to easily perform elemental combos. With the ability Allergy Recovery relatively fast, he can hold his Explosive Elemental almost instantaneously.

– While other skills are on cooldown, there are Fischl's Oz would be a great way to deal damage. It can cause overload or superconductivity that reduces resistance to physical damage. Best when Chongyun doesn't use her Elemental Mastery.

Team F2P

Extra DPS	Main DPS	Support	Support
chongyun	Amber	xiangling	dione

– Chongyun's role is Apply Tape consistently for the enemy. He can then deal more damage by attacking them with his weapon as his Elemental Mastery increases.

– Amber's taunts are valuable to keep the enemy at one point, while her normal and Elemental Mastery can quickly apply Fire on enemies.

– Xiangling's Gouba on the field is also a must for Fire damage. She and Amber can provide the whole team Pyro Resonance Attack buff.

– Diona easily spread Ice and also works well with Chongyun. Together they will have Ice Magnetic Resonance to increase the CRIT Rate for the group.

C2	★★★	• The Elemental and Explosive skills used in Chongyun's Elemental Skills have reduced the cooldown. • No cooldown reduction before an Elemental or Explosive Skill is used in the field.
C6	★★ ☆	• Straight DMG boost, useful for all roles. • The condition to activate the effect is very easy as a secondary DPS.

C2 Offers a Unique Buff
