Chongyun's Best Teams & Character Synergies
Welcome to our Chongyun team composition guide and character synergies overview for Genshin Impact. In this guide, we will explore the best teams to build for Chongyun, including recommended characters, character synergies, and Team Compositions to help Chongyun reach his full damage potential.
Best Pairings and Synergies With Chongyun
Chongyun's teams will revolve around the elemental reactions Melt and Freeze. Because of his Cryo infusion, his teams are limited, but he can be a very good Burst Support or Sub-DPS.
When paired with Chongyun, Rosaria gains access to his Cryo Infusion that transforms her from a primarily off-field DPS into a strong on-field Cryo DPS. This allows her Normal and Charged Attacks to deal Cryo DMG, enabling her to fully benefit from Cryo-focused buffs and reactions. As a result, the duo works particularly well in Freeze, Mono Cryo, and Reverse Melt teams, where Rosaria can take advantage of Chongyun's infusion to deal sustained on-field DMG and contribute strong Burst damage and valuable team support.
Chongyun is perfectly viable for most Freeze teams as long as the infused character uses a Sword, Claymore, or Polearm, otherwise they cannot benefit from Chongyun's buff. While Kamisato Ayaka does not benefit from Chongyun's Cryo infusion as she has her own, she will still make use of his Cryo RES Shred and particle generation. Kaeya is a viable options as Sub-DPS in Mono Cryo teams, while Shenhe is required in a Mono Cryo team. The following characters are the most viable:
Chongyun is a great support for any type of Melt or Reverse Melt team. Bennett is needed as well, leaving two open slots. One should ideally be filled by a main Cryo DPS who can benefit from Chongyun's Cryo infusion. The last slot can be filled with another Pyro or Anemo support.
