So with the new Cryo Set, Kaeya has become in every way the stronger Cryo Carry option than Chongyun In Genshin Impact. It’s unfortunate, but he simply uses the New Cryo 4 Set WAY better than Chongyun does.
In fact ShdwBld did A LOT of math on the new cryo set, and it shows that Glad 4 set is still the better option for him than the new Cryo Artifact set. In freeze teams Chongyun has A LOT of problems that make the new Cryo Artifacts not that great on him.
Speaking of ShdwBld, be sure to take a look at their channel! They’re the BIGGEST Chongyun tester and math cruncher and their channel is the best possible place to learn ANYTHING about Chongyun:

Thanks for checking out the video everyone!
Remember to go check out ShdwBld's channel for anything you could ever want to know about Chongyun!

Let us know what you think about the analysis in the comments!
Ok, first off thanks, I love these videos and look forward to all of them. But second, you're driving me crazy with how you're pronouncing Xingqiu. Something like "Shing chew" is acceptably close. "zzzhing cho" is.. not… even close…
cryo slimes: I LIKE YO CUT G
It's sad how often you have to remind people that it's just a game or that even though Kaeya is a superior Cryo carry at the moment, you can play Chongyun however you want, whether it be a main DPS or a Burst support or a Cryo enabler. Too much of this community is brain dead. In a game where there's so many reactions and absolutely no content where you can definitively say "only Melt/Vaporize comps can complete this," there's way too much toxic bickering. My main team is a Diluc Vap/Melt team but I've recently began building Chongyun and while the damage is definitely not on par, it is a LOT of fun. Granted, I realized that the Cryo set isn't good (the Glacier set fits better) but until that set comes, Ill make due with it.
And quite frankly, while Chongyun's burst doesnt have the cute close up, it is absolutely satisfying to use (and hear). Low key main reason why I built a team around him.
you guys think they will add the feature to turn off/on constellations?
Is the festering desire the best in slot for melt/vape comp bennet or is it still the black sword?
enemies resistance to different elements and physical damage video
Where to get the Noelle padoru?
Is there anywhere i can see the MV of all the other characters?
Ayaka simps: takes notes furiously
Right now I'm using as carry c6 razor I want a cryo unit, my chongyun is c6 my kaeya c0, which cryo works best for razor? If the ones I have aren't optimal, which character is?
what about the 5 star weapon for kaeya? Is skyward blade ok for him?
I guess its like using its higher base dmg and passive that does the phantom hit? Energy recharge allows him to ult more often too to utilize skyward's passive
Hey Jinx, can you make a video talking about elemental reaction in a more specific way? Like you look deeper into vapor/melt, overload, electro charged, superconduct, swirl, shatter, and crystalize. I think it'll be interesting.
What if we geared keqing with cryo artifacts with kaeya and xingqiu support and cryo resonance
This is a win win for me, means I don’t have to invest in chungers, because I hate doing that god forsaken flower because of Barbara and I don’t have any good pyro dps to boot.
Somehow I have a Jean but don’t have a bennet.
On the banner that has him as a rare up.
Why
Look, he's not depressed anymore
Unfortunate kaeya does poorly in a melt comp which chongyun excels by a mile!
Hohoho goodbye Oceanid
Ayaka, knowing she gets to take Kaeya's everything when she gets in 2077: yare yare daze
Xingqiu is the only 4-star I don’t have and I want to cry because of it
Can you do an current abyss tutorial?
Just want to say blackcliff sword isn't really that good cuz the crit damage it gives only a little on max level.the only good on things on blackcliff series is the claymore,polearm and catalyst.blackcliff bow and sword its worst in my opinion.black sword still the best in slot for kaeya.
Thanks as always!
I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet but, shatter can't crit, so the 4 piece bonus is going to be actually useless on him with a shatter/freeze comp as the main dps because looking at the chart ShdwBld made it looks like the shatter hits were the only ones that have the crit bonus applied to them, then again I could just be stupid and misinterpreting something
id like to hear about the keqing and kaeya comp you mentioned and maybe comapare all the cryo users, since i am having a struggle deciding which cryo user to pair my keqing with and have been using her with electro for now. But since i got a aquila favonia id love to swap to a physical build/ team
Imagine being able to freeze enemies for 3.5 seconds every 20.
Im planning to do kaeya comp but my only hydro sup is barbara and dont wanna use childe as a supp
With the team comps in mind, let me ask this. Out of all the info we have so far, do you foresee Ayaka as a possible candidate to replace Kaeya for a permafrost team?
I like to do kaeya with razor and Barbara between both to get a secondary effect in the second hit of razor. Razor give more damage, but kaeya is faster.
Diluc mains would like to have a word with you
Hmm, think I'll call this "Ayaka comp using Kaeya as a placeholder until she arrives".
I've been in love with Kaeya since Day 1 xD (my main along with noelle) and my man keeps on saying that he's not that worthy… well, his time has come!
Spread the love for Kaeya o-o
i always liked kaeya because he fits into any of my teams with ease. i never regretted investing my ressources into him.
Is chongyun a good cryo support for diluc better than kaeya??
I had thought about a Kaeya team before seeing this video but it would've been a physical Kaeya team. Kaeya, Qiqi/Diona, Fischl, Xingqiu to add in the superconduct. I feel like Chongyun just adds excessive amounts of cryo applications needed and Kaeya + Qiqi/Diona should be good enough although I wasn't thinking about the fact that you'd need less healing due to the freeze but having a dedicated healer + cryo applicator could still be useful. Does anyone know of any physical Kaeya builds that were covered post 1.2?
He always was. His stats were decent and his crit passive(C1) and the cryo team buff already made him a crit monster before the artefact sets release. He were just way to basic and boring for people to pick him up. He was one decent physical dmg carry since release. Since he is cryo superconduct is easily accessable + the high crit rate on his basic attacks(since with kaeya the enemy has almost 100% cryo affect uptime). Now you can go full cryo, but well its the same as before just with another cup.
Wow. I remember you guys from mhw. So glad you are playing my favorite game rn. The math is insane for this one as well. You deserve more views
Am I the only 1 just using Chongyun with 4x Gladiator set? 🙄
Dont you think childe would make thiS even broken?
Guys Xingqiu c2 or Kaeya c2 who is better support for Diluc?
They use my main to support Kaeya? Nonsense. I use Kaeya to support my Chongyun.
I also like this build but PHY DMG bonus weapons are too valuable to give up. If you are combining chongyun with kaeya f2p players has to give up on rancour's insane stats. In my opinion Kaeya might just be better with c1 + 2 cryo resonance + 4 set bloodstained to deal extra charged %50 Charged ATK dmg (Which is likely better than %40 crit rate since I am assuming that we will already have %60 crit rate pushing it to %100 doesn't give too much value right? I am not sure thats my opinion I would love to see you compare.) What is the 4 star usable weapon think about it. Most of the people has probably flute which is good I think because %ATK more valuable than PHY DMG bonus when kaeya is combined with chongyun. And this also helps because now you don't even need to freeze people which opens up more flexible comps and other resonances such as extra ATK from pyro and extra DMG bonus from geo. Geo mc can also give extra %10 crit rate which would make an average build %70 crit rate without cryo sets.
Haeya is underrated, but his outfit is ew
