Overview

  • On-field Physical damage
  • Cryo damage dealer

Freminet is a claymore user who raises pressure with his companion Pers and then cashes it in. His Skill starts the Pers Timer, his Normal Attacks raise the Pressure Level while releasing Cryo waves, and using the Skill again unleashes Shattering Pressure. At Level 4 it becomes a large Physical hit, and his Normal Attacks are replaced by more Shattering Pressure. His Burst resets the Skill, cuts its cooldown sharply and raises pressure faster, so most of his damage is packed into the Burst window.

Most players gear him for Physical damage with ATK, Physical DMG Bonus and crits. A Cryo version that spends pressure early also works in Freeze teams, where his own claymore hits shatter Frozen enemies and boost Shattering Pressure.

Weapons

Best first. Every claymore on this list links to its page.

  1. Skyward Pride ★★★★★

    High base ATK, a damage bonus and Energy Recharge, which helps him have his Burst every rotation.

  2. Wolf's Gravestone ★★★★★

    A large ATK bonus that works for both the Physical and Cryo versions.

  3. Serpent Spine ★★★★

    His best 4-star. CRIT Rate and a stacking damage bonus suit an on-field damage dealer.

  4. Prototype Archaic ★★★★

    Craftable at the Blacksmith, with an ATK substat. A dependable free option.

  5. Snow-Tombed Starsilver ★★★★

    A free Physical DMG Bonus option. Its icicles hit harder against Cryo-affected enemies.

Artifact sets

  1. Pale Flame 4-piece

    The best set for Physical Freminet. His frequent Skill casts keep both ATK stacks up, which doubles the Physical bonus.

  2. Pale Flame + Bloodstained Chivalry 2-piece each

    Two Physical DMG bonuses. A stopgap while you collect four Pale Flame pieces.

  3. Blizzard Strayer 4-piece

    For Cryo Freminet in Freeze teams, where the CRIT Rate bonus against Frozen enemies is easy to use.

Teams

  • Physical Superconduct

    Fischl triggers Superconduct to lower Physical RES, Mika adds attack speed and Physical damage, and Zhongli shields so you can stay on the field.

  • Budget Shatter

    Xingqiu keeps enemies wet for Freeze, and Freminet's claymore hits shatter them, which boosts Shattering Pressure. Rosaria adds Cryo and CRIT Rate, and Diona shields.

  • Cryo Freeze

    For Cryo Freminet. Furina keeps enemies Frozen, Shenhe boosts Cryo damage and Kazuha groups enemies.

Tips

  • Open with the Burst. It resets his Skill and makes each Normal Attack add an extra Pressure Level, so you can fire several Shattering Pressures in a row.
  • For Physical damage, reach Pressure Level 4 before using Shattering Pressure. For Cryo damage, use it at lower levels instead.
  • Below Level 4, Shattering Pressure also shortens the Skill cooldown a little, so frequent casts are not wasted.
  • Frozen enemies take Shatter damage from his claymore hits, and triggering Shatter raises his Shattering Pressure damage for a few seconds.
