Unlock the Secrets: Building a Unique 4-star DPS Freminet in Genshin Impact

In Genshin Impact 4.0, Freminet is the new 4-star character with the Cryo element, wielding a polearm and leaning towards physical damage – think of him as the 4-star version of Eula. Like his older sibling Lyney, Freminet is a Pneuma character, allowing players to use him to defeat mobs or Ousia bosses more easily. Let's explore how to build Freminet!

Unleashing Freminet's Potential

miHoYo's skill set for Freminet introduces a unique playstyle: a Cryo physical DPS with the ability to leverage Frozen reactions effectively. This is surprising as polearm characters traditionally struggle with utilizing Freeze reactions. Players can opt to build Freminet for either physical or Cryo damage, both proving effective compared to other 4-star characters.

Freminet's first combat talent, Deepening Blizzard, allows this character to be built as a Cryo DPS, continuously spamming elemental skills. Meanwhile, the Parallel Wave Accumulation talent is the reason Mytour suggests that this character can make use of Frozen reactions. Each time this reaction occurs, the damage from elemental skill attacks increases by 40%. Therefore, pairing him with a Hydro character from outside the field (Xingqiu, Yanfei, Kokomi, etc.) to trigger it is recommended.

Playing Freminet Effectively

In terms of stats, Freminet's damage is moderate. The majority of his damage comes from the elemental skill, so prioritizing its upgrade is your top concern when building Freminet. Following that, normal attacks (primarily aimed at upgrading the Pressure effect in Pers state) are regularly spammed, contributing a considerable amount of damage. Note that normal attacks don't need to hit a target – simply left-clicking will increase the Pressure level.

Dealing maximum damage with Freminet requires players to be familiar with accumulating Pressure levels. Therefore, a bit of training to get used to it, avoiding button spamming, and wasting cooldown time is necessary. It's essential to note that at Pressure level 0, Freminet deals only Cryo damage; at levels 1-3, Cryo damage decreases while physical damage increases. By level 4, there is no Cryo damage, only pure physical damage. Choose the appropriate Pressure level based on your preferred build!

Freminet's ultimate requires 60 energy – a manageable cost for a field-standing DPS. Its most crucial function is activating the Stealth effect, resetting the elemental skill cooldown, and reducing the E cooldown to just 3 seconds. Since all three effects don't scale with skill level, you can leave the ultimate at level 1 if resources are scarce and upgrade it later.

In terms of constellations, Freminet performs well at C0, but both C5 and C6 significantly boost his capabilities. C5 directly levels up the elemental skill – your main source of damage, while C6 provides a maximum 36% critical damage bonus, pushing Freminet's DPS to new heights.

Weapon Build for Freminet

Choosing a weapon for Freminet is somewhat similar to Eula, with many suitable options. Just remember not to use the Bell Sword as miHoYo advertises!

• Whispers of the Pine Forest: Excellent when built for physical damage.
• Wavebreaker's Fin: Freminet may surpass 100% critical rate with this sword.
• Arrogance of the Sky: Extremely fitting for Freminet due to high attack and physical slashes after activating the ultimate.
• The Catch: One of the top weapons for polearm DPS, powerful in the hands of Freminet whether you build for physical or Cryo.
• Frost Burial Silver Sword: A solid free-to-play choice for a physical build.
• Favonius Lance: Another free-to-play option suitable for both Cryo and physical builds.

Sacred Artifacts Build for Freminet

As mentioned by Mytour, Freminet's ultimate has 2 effects: resetting the E skill and reducing its cooldown from 10s to 3s (or 2s if you activate Pressure level 0). Therefore, having enough energy recharge to use the ultimate as soon as it's off cooldown will help increase DPS.

According to initial calculations, when Freminet is paired with another Cryo character, you need about 120-150% energy recharge, and if he is the sole Cryo character, you'll need 130-170%. Energy recharge requirements can even decrease with a Viridescent Venerer weapon in the team, making it easily achievable with sub-stats on timepieces. Thus, we will use an attack timepiece, a physical or Cryo cup, and a crit rate hat.

The best artifact choices for Freminet are as follows:

• 4-piece Blizzard Strayer: Freminet easily attains its 20% crit rate bonus. Unfortunately, he can't consistently reach the full 40% crit rate due to using a polearm and triggering Frozen reactions.
• 2-piece Blizzard Strayer + 2 pieces +18% Attack: A suitable alternative choice for Freminet.
• 4-piece Gladiator's Finale: Provides a +45% damage boost to Freminet's elemental skill. With a Cryo damage build, you'll frequently spam this skill, making it a viable option.

• 4-piece Crimson Witch of Flames: With Freminet's ultimate spam potential, easily triggering the full set effect of this artifact set.
• 2-piece Shimenawa's Reminiscense + 2-piece Crimson Witch of Flames: A suitable alternative if you haven't farmed the 4-piece Crimson Witch set. You can also mix either of these sets with those providing +18% Attack bonuses.

Conclusion

And that's all you need to know when choosing the build for Freminet as a DPS for your team. While he may not be a meta-breaking character, he offers an engaging playstyle that Mytour believes you'll enjoy. See you in the upcoming Genshin Impact guides!
