Conquering the Cryo Abyss Mages: A Team Comp Guide
Facing Cryo Abyss Mages in the Spiral Abyss can be a real challenge! Their icy attacks and shields can be tough to handle, but with the right team, you can melt those problems away. Here’s a breakdown of a team comp that’ll make your Cryo Abyss Mage battles a breeze:
The Core Trio:
- Pyro DPS: The core of your team is a strong Pyro DPS, like Hu Tao, Diluc, or Yoimiya. Their attacks melt the Cryo shields, making those Abyss Mages vulnerable.
- Cryo Sub-DPS: A Cryo character like Ganyu, Rosaria, or Diona helps to keep those Cryo shields nice and thin, making them easier for your Pyro to melt.
- Hydro Support: A reliable Hydro support, like Mona or Xingqiu, is essential for generating consistent Hydro application. This is key for triggering Vaporize reactions with your Pyro, dealing massive damage and melting the Cryo shields even faster.
The Final Piece:
Now, you have two options for your final team member:
-
Shielder/Healer: If you’re struggling with survivability, a character like Zhongli, Diona (if you don’t use her as Cryo Sub-DPS), or Qiqi can provide a shield and heal your team, allowing you to focus on dealing damage.
-
Elemental Battery: If your team needs more energy, consider a character like Raiden Shogun or Fischl. They’ll generate more energy particles, ensuring your Pyro DPS has enough energy to unleash their powerful attacks.
Team Synergies:
- Hu Tao + Xingqiu + Diona + Zhongli: This team is a great combination of damage and survivability. Hu Tao’s Pyro attacks melt the Cryo shields, Xingqiu’s Hydro application triggers Vaporize, Diona provides Cryo application and a shield, and Zhongli offers a sturdy shield and damage reduction.
- Diluc + Mona + Rosaria + Raiden Shogun: This team is all about power and efficiency. Diluc’s Pyro attacks melt the Cryo shields, Mona’s Hydro application and elemental damage boost enhance Diluc’s damage, Rosaria provides Cryo application and helps with energy generation, and Raiden Shogun ensures everyone has enough energy.
Remember:
- Rotation: You’ll want to prioritize your Pyro DPS and their attacks. Apply Cryo with your Sub-DPS, then use your Hydro support to trigger Vaporize reactions.
- Elemental Reactions: Vaporize is your friend here! Make sure your Hydro and Pyro characters are consistently applying their elements to trigger it.
- Team Building: Consider the strengths and weaknesses of your characters when choosing the final member of your team.
Extra Tips:
- Cryo Resonance: If you choose to use two Cryo characters, make sure they have Cryo Resonance activated for extra Cryo damage and crit rate.
- Elemental Mastery: Focus on building your Hydro and Pyro characters with Elemental Mastery to maximize Vaporize damage.
- Artifacts: Equip your Pyro DPS with artifacts that increase Pyro damage and critical stats.
By understanding the key roles and synergy between characters in your team, you’ll be well-equipped to conquer even the toughest Cryo Abyss Mages! Good luck, Travelers!
