Chongyun build summary

Updated August 28, 2026

Skyward Pride is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Chongyun's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. The Unforged, "Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword" and Wolf's Gravestone come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Chongyun, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Finale of the Deep Galleries on Chongyun, with Blizzard Strayer and Celestial Gift behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, ATK% circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > ATK% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.

Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 40 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

The strongest team is Kamisato Ayaka, Chongyun, Xingqiu and Jean, built around Chongyun: Cryo · Freeze.

Chongyun FAQ

3 questions

What stat does Chongyun scale on?

Chongyun's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Chongyun?

Skyward Pride is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star claymore with Energy Recharge as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. "Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword" is the best 4-star alternative.

Which artifact set should Chongyun use?

Finale of the Deep Galleries. Its 2-piece bonus is: Cryo DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: When the equipping character has 0 Elemental Energy, Normal Attack DMG is increased by 60% and Elemental Burst DMG is increased by 60%. After the equipping character deals Normal Attack DMG, the aforementioned Elemental Burst effect will stop applying for 6s. After the equipping character deals Elemental Burst DMG, the aforementioned Normal Attack effect will stop applying for 6s. This effect can trigger even if the equipping character is off the field.
