Chongyun can activate the source of Cryo element implementation from his ability. So you can take him as sub-DPS to trigger Melt with melee Pyro characters like Diluc. Venti will make enemies stay in the radius of Chongyun’s ability, Bennett will heal, activate Pyro resonance and trigger melt together with Chongyun.
Good characters for this comp: Klee, Hu Tao, Yanfei, Eula, Xiangling, Fischl, Rosaria, Zhongli, Qiqi, Diona, Sucrose.
If you want to know more about every teammate for Chongyun you can click on the link below and find them in the list of all Genshin Impact characters that we have described.
As main DPS Chongyun is not extremely effective, but if you have only 4-start champions that will do. You can play him as physical dps. So take Rosaria to increase damage via Cryo Resonance. Xiangling will provide you will a strong source of Pyro damage and Melt reaction while Chongyun is killing enemies in his ability radius. Bennett is a perfect healer for such a team. Don’t use Barbara here as she will active freeze under Chongyun’s ability on the active character while her ability is active.
