Advantages and Disadvantages of Chevreuse

In the guide on building Chevreuse, Mytour thoroughly discussed the character's strengths. To facilitate your reading, the author will succinctly recap the highlights:

• Comes with a built-in 40% Pyro and Electro resistance reduction without needing Scatter + 4-piece Viridescent Venerer.
• Can provide up to 40% ATK buff, albeit requiring to be built up to 40,000 HP.
• Effectively heals teammates during battles.
• Liberates 2 slots (Pyro + healer) when used in Overload teams.
• Easy to build as it only requires 40,000 HP and can use the Favonius Warbow.
• CM0 is already effective, but at CM6, the damage increases to a whopping 60%.
• Has the ability to gather enemies in burst, and at CM2, elemental skill can also do the same!

Chevreuse's weaknesses are few and can be overlooked, but Mytour will mention them for clarity:

• The stats of a 4-star character are slightly lower, so don't expect much damage output from her.
• Overload reaction is not as strong as Vaporize or Melt.
• Forces the use of Pyro + Electro teams, as introducing other elements will not trigger the Pyro and Electro resistance reduction effect.
• Constellations from 1 to 5 are not particularly good.

Why Should You Have Chevreuse?

For gamers who enjoy Overload reactions like the author, Chevreuse will be a highly valuable addition to the team lineup. She can replace both Kazuha and Bennett in Pyro + Electro teams, allowing players to 'save' these two powerful characters for other teams in need. The ability to gather enemies from burst is also very useful in Overload teams, which are notorious for constantly scattering enemies around. This allows Chevreuse players to use Overload teams to fight regular enemies without worrying too much about wasting stamina chasing them.

Furthermore, Chevreuse outshines Kazuha and Bennett in some aspects, albeit minor but significant. Specifically, Kazuha cannot Scatter 2 elements simultaneously when facing single-target situations, and when dealing with multiple enemies, certain rotations are needed to achieve this. Meanwhile, Bennett confines players to a small area and applies Pyro on characters, making them susceptible to Vaporize or Melt when encountering powerful enemies like Abyssal Herald or Hydro Form Bosses. Surely, many gamers have shed tears when being Vaporized by Hydro Form bosses, haven't they?

Chevreuse's constellation is not powerful, but there are certain highlights that gamers may want to know. At constellation 4, Chevreuse's energy recharge demand will significantly decrease as she can unleash E twice consecutively within 6s after using Q. But even if you're not lucky enough to reach this milestone, Chevreuse is still a fantastic character, fully capable of helping Overload teams conquer Floor 12 of Spiral Abyss even at constellation 0.

At CM6, Chevreuse's healing amount is almost doubled with the extremely useful team-wide healing effect. But the damage increase that Chevreuse brings at this constellation is what truly elevates her to a 5-star character. The reason for this is that every time a character in the team receives healing from Chevreuse, they are buffed with 20% Pyro and Electro damage for 8s. This effect stacks up to 3 layers, meaning 60% increase, higher than a standard elemental damage goblet and even allows Pyro/Electro DPSs to use attack percentage goblets while still achieving high efficiency.

Finally, besides the buff/heal role, players can also try using Chevreuse as a stand-up DPS character by heavily investing in her, as she has decent stats in her skill set. Your main source of damage will come from the explosions when using E and Q, while regular attacks are only used to trigger on-hit effects (for example, Raiden's E or Fischl's crow). If you want to build this way, some 5-star weapons you can use are the Staff of Homa and the Primordial Jade Cutter.

Conclusion

Surely readers have noticed that the author is very enthusiastic about Chevreuse, as evidenced by the two articles dedicated to this character. The reasons have been explained above - a host of useful effects for Overload teams, coupled with the author's fondness for Electro characters. Hopefully, miHoYo will continue to create characters with truly useful skill sets like this in the future, instead of the overly restrictive Candace or Kaveh.
