Building a cryo team for Abyss Floor 12 can be super fun and powerful! To get the most out of it, we need to talk about two things: the characters and the artifacts.
Choosing Your Cryo Crew
First, let’s pick some cryo heroes that work well together. Here are some popular options:
- Ganyu: She’s the queen of cryo damage with her long-range charged attacks. Her burst is also great for freezing enemies.
- Ayaka: With her fast attacks and a powerful burst, Ayaka is another excellent cryo DPS choice.
- Rosaria: She’s a great support character, boosting your team’s cryo damage and providing some crowd control.
- Diona: With her shield and healing, Diona keeps your team safe while also providing cryo energy to your DPS characters.
- Qiqi: A solid healer and cryo applicator, Qiqi can keep your team healthy and frozen.
Now, let’s pick two more characters for our team:
- A Hydro Character: They are essential for creating "Frozen" status on enemies, which boosts your cryo damage a lot. Popular picks are:
- Mona: Her burst makes enemies vulnerable and allows your cryo characters to hit them harder.
- Kokomi: She provides healing and consistent Hydro application.
- Xingqiu: A great support character who provides damage reduction and constant Hydro application.
- A Cryo Sub-DPS: This character can deal damage with their elemental skill and burst, making sure the cryo element is always active. Good options include:
- Rosaria: Already mentioned, she’s a fantastic choice for this role.
- Kaeya: He’s a budget-friendly option who can provide good cryo damage and energy recharge.
Equipping Your Cryo Champions
Now let’s talk artifacts! This is where things get a little more complicated. The goal is to get the best possible artifacts for your team, maximizing their damage output and survivability.
Here’s a general guide to artifact sets:
For your main Cryo DPS (Ganyu or Ayaka):
- Blizzard Strayer: This set boosts cryo damage and critical damage, ideal for maximizing your DPS’s power.
- Noblesse Oblige: This set increases the burst damage of all your team members, making it a good option for Ganyu’s powerful burst.
- Wanderer’s Troupe: (Optional) This set increases your normal attack and charged attack damage, especially useful for Ganyu.
For your Hydro Support:
- Noblesse Oblige: This set enhances your burst damage and is a strong all-around choice for a support character.
- Heart of Depth: This set boosts Hydro damage and is a fantastic option for characters like Mona and Kokomi who focus on their burst.
- Hydro damage bonus goblet: (Optional) If you have a strong artifact with Hydro damage bonus, it can be better than using a full artifact set.
For your Cryo Sub-DPS:
- Blizzard Strayer: This set is a great choice if you want your sub-DPS to contribute significant cryo damage.
- Noblesse Oblige: This set provides a strong boost to burst damage, making your sub-DPS even more powerful.
- Gladiator’s Finale: This set increases your normal attack damage and can be a good option for a sub-DPS like Rosaria.
Remember that these are just general guidelines, and the best artifact sets can depend on your specific team composition and character levels.
Artifact Stats to Look For:
- Cryo Damage Bonus: Essential for your cryo DPS and sub-DPS.
- Critical Rate and Critical Damage: Always important for maximizing damage output.
- Energy Recharge: Especially important for your sub-DPS and support characters.
- Attack%: A strong stat that increases your overall damage.
