Building a team around a new Cryo character is a fun challenge! You want to make sure you pick teammates that work well together, using their strengths to cover each other’s weaknesses. Here’s a breakdown of how to build a solid team:
1. The Cryo Core:
- Start with your new Cryo character! They’ll be the star of the show, so you want to focus on building them up with good weapons and artifacts that boost their specific abilities.
- Consider their role: Are they a main damage dealer, a support character, or something in between? This will influence the other characters you choose.
2. Elemental Reactions:
- Cryo is a powerful element! It can trigger Freeze, Superconduct, and Shatter reactions, each offering different benefits in battle.
- Freeze: Freezing enemies makes them vulnerable to extra damage, but it requires a Hydro character (like Barbara or Xingqiu).
- Superconduct: This reaction reduces enemy Physical Resistance, great for characters that deal physical damage (like Razor or Eula). You’ll need an Electro character (like Fischl or Raiden Shogun).
- Shatter: This reaction stuns enemies, best used when they are already frozen. This requires a Cryo character, like Rosaria or Diona.
3. Team Composition:
- Think about your team’s needs:
- Damage: Do you need more firepower? Consider adding a strong Pyro character (like Hu Tao or Diluc) to trigger Melt reactions with your Cryo character.
- Support: Need help healing or shielding? A healer like Qiqi or Kokomi will keep your team healthy.
- Energy Recharge: Does your Cryo character struggle to use their ultimate ability often? Add a character like Bennett or Kazuha who can help generate energy particles.
- Consider team synergy:
- Look for characters whose abilities complement each other. For example, using a character that triggers Cryo reactions can set up your main DPS to deal more damage.
- Think about characters that can buff your Cryo character’s damage, like the aforementioned Bennett, or provide them with protection like Diona.
4. Elemental Reactions in Action:
Let’s look at a couple of examples:
- Freeze Team:
- Main DPS: Your new Cryo character.
- Hydro Support: A character like Xingqiu or Barbara.
- Electro Support: A character like Fischl or Beidou.
- Sub-DPS: A character like Rosaria to trigger Shatter reactions.
- Superconduct Team:
- Main DPS: A Physical Damage dealer like Razor or Eula.
- Cryo Support: Your new Cryo character.
- Electro Support: A character like Fischl or Raiden Shogun.
- Healer: A character like Qiqi or Kokomi.
5. Experiment and Have Fun!
Don’t be afraid to try out different team combinations and see what works best for you. The most important thing is to find a team that you enjoy playing with. Good luck!
