Liyue Freeze Deck Explanation

Strengths and Weaknesses

Liyue Freeze Deck Combo Cards

Combo Card 1	Combo Card 2	Result
Xingqiu	Kamisato Ayaka	- After using Xingqiu's Elemental Burst, switch in Kamisato Ayaka for an instant Freeze reaction when she attacks.
Kamisato Ayaka	Minty Meat Rolls	- This is the set-up for your OTK once you have Xingqiu's Elemental Burst and Kamisato Ayaka's Cryo infusion up. -Minty Meat Rolls discounts your Normal Attack cost so you can fire off multiple attacks for an OTK.
NRE	Minty Meat Rolls	- Minty Meat Rolls is a core part of your OTK combo, and NRE ensures you draw your food cards.
Chongyun	Xingqiu	- Use Chongyun's Elemental Skill to infuse Xingqiu with Cryo Damage to keep your Freeze chain going with his Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst. - If Kamisato Ayaka falls, Chongyun can take over and trigger Freeze elemental reactions.
Leave it to Me!	Kamisato Ayaka	- Use your character switch cards such as Leave It to Me! and select Kamisato Ayaka as the active character for a fast and easy way to inflict Cryo Damage.
Kamisato Ayaka	Chang the Ninth	- Triggering Frozen elemental reactions is part of your game plan, so Chang the Ninth helps you draw more cards.

How to Play

Starting Hand

Recommended Starting Hand
The Bestest Travel Companion!	Paimon	Starsigns	Katheryne

You will be starting the game with Xingqiu as your first Active Character to try and get his Elemental Burst up as soon as possible. Keep cards that can help you out with this like The Bestest Travel Companion!, Paimon, and Starsigns.

You will be frequently swapping Kamisato Ayaka in and out, so Katheryne and Liu Su are also good to keep.

Freezing the Opponent

When you have Xingqiu's Elemental Burst up, try to roll for as much Cryo Dice as you can. Use Xingqiu's Elemental burst then switch to Kamisato Ayaka to trigger her passive skill to infuse her Normal Attacks with Cryo Damage.

Coupled with Xingqiu's Elemental Burst, her Normal Attacks are now able to deal bonus damage and inflict the Frozen status on the opponent. The Frozen status renders a character unable to perform any action, most likely forcing the opponent to swap characters.

You can further buff Ayaka with Minty Meat Rolls, which reduces 1 Unaligned Elemental needed for her Normal Attacks.

Breaking the Ice

Your Physical Normal Attacks gain +2 damage when hitting a character with Frozen status, making it even deadlier.

Chongyun can help keep chaining the Frozen status with his Elemental Skill as it converts Physical Damage to Cryo Damage, similar to Kamisato Ayaka's passive.

You can use Xingqiu while Chongyun's Elemental Skill is active to Freeze Enemies with his Infused Cryo Normal Attacks and Elemental Burst.

Liyue Freeze Deck Best Used Against

List of NPCs

Ellin

Patton

Wagner

The NPCs above have character cards that have pesky skills. You can Freeze them to disable their skills and dispatch them easily with Chongyun's Elemental Burst.

Friendly Fracas

Xiangling

Diluc

Mona

The Freeze game plan is effective against decks that are reliant on skills.

Xiangling's Elemental Burst cannot trigger if the Active Character is Frozen. Diluc cannot fully make use of his Elemental Skill if he is Frozen. Other characters like Mona can have their turns stalled when Frozen.

What does this Deck Counter?

Counters Combo Decks and other Freeze Decks

This deck is effective against Combo Decks because inflicting Freeze disables their skills and stalls them. To deal with Freeze, their characters will have to switch and burn cards to wait it out, or tank damage.

This is also effective against other Freeze decks once you get your own combo started, or do your OTK combo first.

How to Counter Liyue Freeze Deck: How to Beat

Use Kaeya Quickswap Teams

Kaeya

Keqing

Kaeya's Elemental Burst only needs to switch characters to trigger and deal damage. If one of their characters gets Frozen, they can easily switch characters and wait out the Frozen status. Keqing can also use her Lightning Stiletto to save a Frozen ally on top of dealing damage.

Force Swap with Anemo Teams

Sucrose

Jean

Xingqiu is the only Hydro character in this deck and makes up half of the Freeze game plan. Force Xingqiu out with Jean or Sucrose's Elemental Skills and try to take him down as soon as you can.
