Why Chongyun is Way Too Underrated (Gameplay & Character Analysis/Discussion)

[@BeansTheDogg]

? Wdym where DID YOU FIND THIS PLEASE I MUST SEE MY BELOVEDS STORY

[@ensignjekov]

@@BeansTheDogg It’s from his Story 2 lines: “A little depressed, Chongyun began to wrestle with his own body. When he heard about an evil spirit in Dragonspine, he made for the peak wearing only a shirt. Though it was hard enough to keep himself warm, he still felt this insufficient. Digging a hole in a frozen lake, he jumped in and soaked in the icy water while waiting for the evil spirit to show itself. After staying in the lake for half a day, he finally caught a glimpse of his target. However, after pursuing it down the mountainside, he discovered it was only a snow rabbit that had been frightened off by his flying swords and floating charms. The fever that he ran afterward lasted far longer than it would in a normal person.”

Noelle looks nice and works hard, but she’s still a young teen and doesn’t carry Mondstadt (like Jean Kaeya Diluc and even Amber to an extent in the story) on her back. If she wasn’t the maid cliche nobody would care AS much.

[@sommerblume9671]

@Was Lyre Taken? That’s obvious. They are strong, new 5 stars that don’t require too much work... so duh. But it’s also stupid to say Noelle gets no love when there’s a LOT of fans for her, mains of her, probably a discord sever and so many artworks. Just because 5 stars are popular and rightfully so, doesn’t mean the rest of the cast are forgotten. Diona is way more underrated yet you don’t see me both complain and deny that there’s anything out there of her lol. It’s just a matter of weebs and what they like most. If you want Noelle content, just search for it, people literally made animation videos of her dude.

[@sommerblume9671]

@Was Lyre Taken? I’ve never met one either outside of my friend who I play with. But they exist, our co-op experiences don’t change that lol. I am sure there is a discord server for her, especially cus Tuner has so many emotes gifs and artworks as her bc he mains Noelle and makes content about her. I don’t like Ganyu either but if 5 stars weren’t so strong, hyped up AND designed well then it’d be different. Noelle being a starter/freebie didn’t help her image either.

Me: Sees the title Also me: I see you are a man of culture aswell. Also we are literally the same person, I pulled Chongyun as my second character aswell. I also saw him before the game released and I was like: Yup, I love this guy! Now he's my main DPS and evertime my friends see Chongyun, they think of me xD

I unlocked Chongyun's story quest almost immediately after the update went live. Still is my favorite hangout event out of the 4. The ending with the kids absolutely melted my heart, we do not deserve Chongyun 😭

[@kansas0606]

Chongyun was the first ever character I got, and I absolutely love this dude. He’s been one of the most useful components on my team, and I don’t really care about best team comps and stuff I like that, I just wanna play the game and have fun -and mihoyo please give me Diluc I’ve been waiting for a month and a half now-

[@jermasus]

Something very often overlooked is the fact that he and Xingqiu both have Bagua symbols on their clothes (same thing as the bars you see on the Korean flag)

[@paulskiye6930]

well, the Korean flag only has 4 trigrams. Whereas Bagua means 8 trigram.

[@solvorine]

Chongyun carried me throughout the abyss. As soon as Chongyun’s hangout event came out, I was SPEED.

I so agree. I used to always overlook him, but I got him a few weeks ago, and I've been maining him ever since

[@lazulia_celest]

My popsicle boi needs more love honestly. I chose him for the stand by me and he’s nuked every enemy he’s come across. But then I got his boyfriend and then I really just became a mass murderer in domains. I love practically everything about him and it honestly surprises me that he does more damage then my Hu Tao.

[@aeiara]

​@Raydøen Isn't that just a form of gameplay? It just means they're playing in a manner they like and they're doing well. In fact Chongyun as a nuke in a Xingqiu-Hu Tao-Chongyun-any pyro with melt amp and good investment does amazing damage. Invest in characters you like, waifus/husbandos >>>> meta. And all characters with good builds do well.

[@irabflores3531]

@Raydøen so? That's why the game has so many characters so you can play with whoever you want

[@nou-ve8xq]

@Raydøen ​ @ Raydøen keyword is "my". they aren't saying chongyun is better then hu tao lmao, just 'their' hu tao doesn't do as much damage

[@nou-ve8xq]

@Raydøen that still means 'their' chong is stronger then their hu tao, and not hu tao in general.

[@nou-ve8xq]

@Raydøen but i don't think he thought that at all lol, so i'm just pointing that out

[@user-qy3fc1vu8s]

Honestly, when I first got Chongyun he was my main dps. I still never understood and never will the like statistics because I love claymore users a lot! I loved his character details that he has too! Overall, I have so much fun playing with him, I don't have that much characters but he just makes up for it

[@recruitlegionary5552]

I always loved how Chongyun looked. Hell even after I already built a solid Razor superconduct build I immediately swapped that out for a Chongyun Shatter build when I got Chongyun from the weapon banner. He's just fun to play IMO, but sucks massive pp against enemies resistant to cryo. So having somebody else in your team to deal with Cryo like XiangLing is a definite must have. I had to make a lot of adjustments for him, and I don't regret it one bit.

[@harjinlaxamana7331]

The one that sold me is his idle animation. I remember seeing it in the corner of my eye as I was drinking and I legit thought he made a skill or something hahaha!

[@EmersonSisyphus]

Haven't been able to watch the video yet, but I really appreciate you making a video about Chongyun! All of your videos are amazing and bring a lot of insight to various topics, and I'm very glad to see that it's being done about one of the most arguably underrated characters in the game. I used to main Chongyun, and I still love him a lot, so I'm glad to see a video like this that's well made and puts a lot of light onto his character!

[@sasayukiie]

I unlocked his hangout event first. He deserves the equal amount of love 💙

[@raincandycloud]

oh my archons THANK YOU SO DANG MUCH FOR MAKING THIS. All of my genshin friends look at me and say “why the hell did you build this character i dont think i have him” Heck they dont even know his name, he’s so underrated. I level 80’ed and c6’ed him. I was a main till ayato.

[@Smol_Storge]

I love Chongyun so much- I did his hangout event first bc he was the only character I didn’t know anything about- he’s adorable- I don’t use him since Ganyu and Diona are my main cryos.

As someone who also uses sac greatsword on him I agree.

[@crilledgheese4584]

Agreed. I'll try getting him on my main acc since I've tested him in my second acc. After unlocking the second talent he has, he can also be a sword machine gun (since sacrificial also gives energy recharge)

[@Laviirose]

@@ajikinasih6218 ngl I’m not too good with builds or deciding how to deal with play styles (I mainly go with playing for fun rather than trying to get super high damage numbers) but I like using him with bennett for easy melt potential!

[@ajikinasih6218]

@@Laviirose i think i got the big picture here thx 👍

[@sanny2.04]

Yes thank you, somebody needed to say it! Another reason I main and love Chongyun is because he is not a selfish dps and is a teamplayer! With him, you really have to use a proper team and that gameplay is waaay more fun than selfish dps gameplay! He is very good in melt comps and I love his personality!

[@xsilkix]

He's the reason I started playing. I was transfixed when I saw him in a showcase video. He was my dps from w1 to w5. I'll come back to him when I start using Diluc as dps 😀 for now, I'll level up the friendship of my current dps

[@soopiem]

As someone who used him since the day i got him these videos really warm my heart. He was the first character I ever leveled up till 90 and I haven't regreted it even for a second (unlike Razor interestingly enough). The Chongyun-Benny combo is something I live for and I find it the most fun out off all playstyles (and yes I played a lot with Hu Tao and she is super fun and interesting as well). Overall I love his personality and his abilities and yeah he is just an all around good boi.

@@v.emiltheii-nd.8094 FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS IT Gosh You have no idea how happy I am to see someone notice that too... Like, *HANGOUT AND CHARACTER STORY SPOILER ALERT* . . . you can see the results of giving Chongyun spicy food or something which messes up with his condition... He literally falls to the ground or can't move much. How is Xingqiu doing that to Chongyun only "teasing"? Not to mention the financial aspect of their friendship. Xingqiu keeps giving Chongyun false hints and suggestions on demons whereabouts, Yun goes to check them out, usually spends all his savings, and then Xingqiu plays a hero when he manages to get the money back - and Chongyun is too innocent to notice how twisted Xingqiu's actions towards him are... Even when you suggest that in the hangout event, Yun jumps to Xingqiu's defense... Like, Xingqiu is nice and kind to EVERYBODY except Chongyun? How is that funny? What kind of friendship is that?

[@muun9403]

bennett + chongyun feels great honestly. Combining him with chars that can consistently apply pyro (outside of autos) can make him such a useful resource to output huge damage. I 100% agree with him being underrated. Edit: Main combo for bennett + chongyun is bennett elemental burst -> chongyun elemental burst. Massive damage.

[@olliviiee]

[@MrK4399]

Ah yes, the Kim Chong-Yun nuke combo~

[@luisbernales6336]

Though i use both of them and Keqing & Mona,i haven't thought about using his ult(Benny's) that way,maybe because i have C0 Bennett i mainly use his E for healing and his skill for enemy shields(wood or ice)

[@hyunyounghan7775]

Trueee they are my mains!!!

[@tamiamorton7389]

YUP. I can get about 40k dmg with Chongyun's E doing that and about 35-38k with his Burst. I also pair him with Diluc too as an alternative melt combo. I'm so proud of him, he's my strongest elemental boi

[@Disaster3nby]

My baby is finally getting recognition. I’ve been using him as a sub dps for sooooo long. He’s amazing w Xiangling and Beidou imo. The synergy with any other character is great and I often pair him with Diluc now.

Yes! Chongyun is so underated! I’m so glad he got his own hangout session!

He was my first character I pulled and is still my main dps until now. His synergy with xinqui in battle and out of battle is so good that I dont wanna replace him... ever

[@philippahrend8088]

He actually has one of the strongest bursts in the game, especially with 4 swords. If you melt and have good crit, you can deal over 40k per sword...

[@RuriGoko]

U may have forgot the strongest point of chongyun, which is his shield breaking ability, with his energy particle generation and high energy recharge support build he can break any shield in very short time if it’s not a cryo shield (which you can a pyro unit to break it anyway) and get his burst back immediately for next rotation.

[@Cal_Night]

I recently started playing him in my team comps and he's really satisfying to play, idk it's something about his skill and burst that are so satisfying to do, especially with xingqiu for freeze
