Freminet Best Builds

Freminet DPS Builds

Pale Flame Physical

Best Weapon	Song of Broken Pines
Replacement Weapons	1. Wolf's Gravestone 2. Prototype Archaic 3. Snow-Tombed Starsilver 4. Serpent Spine
Best Artifacts	Pale Flame x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Physical DMG Bonus or ATK
	Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	ATK, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, Elemental Mastery

The Pale Flame artifact set would be Freminet's best build for Physical to maximize the damage of his Level 4 Elemental Skill and Normal Attacks. With his usage of Cryo, you can also make use of the Superconduct reaction to boost your Physical DMG.

Physical Freminet utilizes his Elemental Skill the best at Pers Level 4.

Blizzard Strayer Cryo

Best Weapon	Beacon of the Reed Sea
Replacement Weapons	1. Wolf's Gravestone 2. Serpent Spine 3. Tidal Shadow
Best Artifacts	Blizzard Strayer x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Cryo DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	ATK, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, Elemental Mastery

If you fully intend to use Freminet's Cryo vision to its fullest capacity, then building him with a full Blizzard Strayer set will work wonders for you. However, do take note that this may require party optimzation to keep the Cryo DMG constant.

Cryo Freminet spams his Elemental Skill the best at Pers Level 0.

Hybrid DPS

Best Weapon	Beacon of the Reed Sea
Replacement Weapons	1. Song of Broken Pines 2. Prototype Archaic 3. Serpent Spine 4. Tidal Shadow
Best Artifacts	Blizzard Strayer x2 Pale Flame x2
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Physical DMG Bonus or Cryo DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	ATK, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, Elemental Mastery

Should you aim for a perfect balance between Freminet's Physical and Cryo capabilities, this build might just be right up your alley. By giving him 2 artifacts from the Blizzard Strayer and Pale Flame sets, you can take advantage of his dual sources of DMG.

Apart from the build above, you can optimize this build according to the weapon you have equipped. Should you have a weapon that gives off Physical DMG, it might be best for you to adjust your goblet accordingly by aiming for Cryo DMG Bonus.

Freminet Talent Priority

1st	2nd	3rd
Elemental Skill	Normal Attack	Elemental Burst

Freminet's Elemental Skill takes center stage during combat, with even his Elemental Burst providing support to it. Therefore, having it as your first priority will be in your best interest, with Normal Attack being your second priority.

Even though it hits a number of targets in an AoE, Freminet's Elemental Burst should come in last, as it functions more as a supporting buff rather than an actual source of DMG.

Freminet Best Team Comps

Freminet Shatter Teams

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Freminet	Xingqiu	Fischl	Mika
Freminet	Rosaria	Shinobu	Kokomi
Freminet	Shenhe	Xingqiu	Kazuha

Depending on your chosen build, a Shatter Team would be your best bet in dealing maximum DMG to your opponents to utilize his passive. A good Hydro unit like Xingqiu or Yelan will synergize well with Freminet's reliance on his Normal Attacks.

Kokomi is also a great unit for AoE Hydro application and healing. Mika can also provide healing and can further Freminet's Physical DMG through his own talents, with Electro units like the Raiden Shogun and Shinobu adding to the Shatter DMG.

Freminet Shatterbloom Team

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Freminet	Nahida	Xingqiu	Shinobu

Because Dendro and Cryo can co-exist together when applied to an enemy, when using Freminet with an Electro character, he can apply Cryo to induce Freeze, Hyperbloom, and Shatter, all at the same time!

Freminet Physical Hypercarry Team

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Freminet	Fischl	Mika	Zhongli
Freminet	Raiden	Mika	Shenhe

As Freminet is a very capable Physical DPS, an Elemental Reaction you might want to take advantage of is Superconduct, which decreases opponents' overall defense.

Coordination between Mika and the Raiden Shogun will be able to provide you with as much Physical DMG as possible through talents and Superconduct. Should you need to keep Freminet's Burst up to maximize his Elemental Skill, the Raiden Shogun has your back.

Freminet Perma-Freeze Team

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Freminet	Shenhe	Kazuha	Kokomi

A Perma-Freeze Team can also be a viable option when playing Freminet, provided that you can keep the Cryo application coming even after each Shatter.

For this purpose, Shenhe will be able to keep Cryo DMG at a constant, especially with the help of Kazuha who can Swirl it around in a much larger AoE, while Hydro units like Kokomi, Xingqiu, or Yelan set up Hydro.

Freminet Melt Team

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Freminet	Xiangling	Bennett	Kazuha

One unconventional but nevertheless creative and effective team option is a Melt Team composed of Xiangling, Bennett, and Kazuha.

Xiangling's excellent Pyro application matched with Bennett and Kazuha's respective DMG boosts will work wonders as Freminet continuously applies Cryo with his Elemental Skill and Burst!

Freminet Constellations

C2	Penguins and the Land of Plenty Unleashing Pressurized Floe: Shattering Pressure will restore 2 Energy to Freminet. If a Pressure Level 4 Shattering Pressure is unleashed, this will restore 3 Energy.
C3	Song of the Eddies and Bleached Sands Increases the Level of Normal Attack: Flowing Eddies by 3.

C5	Nights of Hearth and Happiness Increases the Level of Pressurized Floe by 3.
C6	Moment of Waking and Resolve After Freminet triggers Frozen, Shatter, or Superconduct against opponents, his CRIT DMG will be increased by 12% for 6s. Max 3 stacks. This can be triggered once every 0.3s.

Best Constellation Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C2	★★☆	• Eases his energy requirements to have his Burst off-cooldown.
C6	★★★	• Biggest boost to his overall DPS.

Stat Boosts All the Way to C6

All of Freminet's constellations are mere stat boosts to improve his damage and efficiency. By no means are they required if you have the best possible artifacts for him! C2 is a good stopping point if you just want to help his energy costs.

How to Use Freminet

Elemental Skill: Pressurized Floe

Freminet, after thrusting upwards and dealing Cryo DMG, will enter the Pers Timer state for 10 seconds, converting his Normal Attacks to Shattering Pressure. Each hit from Shattering Pressure will add 1 Pressure level to Pers Timer, max 4 levels.

Once a level has been reached, cast Pressurized Floe again to unleash an attack based your Pressure level. Additionally, Arkhe: Pneuma will be unleashed, dealing Pneuma-algned Cryo DMG at certain intervals during the skill's duration.

Pers Timer Pressure LVL 0

Freminet does an upward thrust that deals Cryo DMG against a single target. This has the highest multiplier for Cryo DMG only.

Pers Timer Pressure LVL 1-3

Freminet strikes vertically along with Pers to deal Cryo DMG and Physical DMG simultaneously. DMG is increased based on Pressure LVL.

Pers Timer Pressure LVL 4

Consume all Presure LVLs to deal massive Physical DMG alone. In addition, Freminet's Normal Attacks will be replaced by Shattering Pressure, which will keep the DMG inferred by his Elemental Skill going for a prolonged period of time!

This has the highest multiplier for Physical DMG only.

Elemental Burst: Shadowhunter's Ambush

Freminet deals AoE Cryo DMG in his immediate vicinity and resets the CD of Pressurized Floe. He then enters the Subnautical Hunter state for 10 seconds, which gives him more interruption resistance, cooldown reduction, and increased DMG.

Thoughts About Freminet

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Charlotte	I've met Freminet a few times since being introduced. He quickly took an interest in Monsieur Verite - that's my Kamera-slash-assistant - and even made a few improvements to my lenses. I gotta say, though, my heart was in my mouth watching him completely dismantle Monsieur Verite in a matter of seconds... Amazing he managed to reassemble it just as swiftly. He seems very experienced - I was convinced he must have graduated from the Fontaine Research Institute, but he denied it.
Chevreuse	Currently Unavailable Unlock Requirements: Reach Friendship Level 4 with Chevreuse
Lynette	He is a delicate and gentle child, but also tends to belittle himself... perhaps due to his previous experiences. Sometimes he feels like the antithesis of Lyney... but since they're both family, when their opinions clash, I will bridge their differences.
Lyney	My naive little brother still believes in fairy tales. I envy him, really. Uh, just to be clear though, he didn't actually tell me that. I just happened to see what he keeps in his secret drawer once... Really, it was an accident! So please don't tell him, or he'll get mad at me for sure.

Freminet's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Arlecchino	About “Father” Tears: “Father” doesn't like it when children cry. “Father” says tears are the product of emotion and weakness. So when “Father” scolds me, I hold it in until I'm underwater, where no one can hear me cry. At least I have the Romaritime Flowers to keep me company. Teaching: When I was little, I was taught that we should be ready to give our lives for our family. But when "Father" took control, this philosophy changed. "Father" said that every one of us is important, and we have to value our own lives, be our strongest selves, and stand on our own two feet in this world... But actually, all of that's much harder than just following orders.
Charlotte	About Charlotte For some reason, Charlotte never believes me when I say I'm just an ordinary diver. She's convinced that my past is full of news stories waiting for her to dig up... Am I really that bad of a liar?
Chevreuse	About Chevreuse I hear that Chevreuse is a regular customer of Beaumont Workshop. She always purchases the most expensive and advanced components for her musket. If I make enough Mora, maybe one day I can afford to upgrade Pers's components.
Clorinde	About Clorinde I owe Clorinde my life, but she says she doesn't want anything from me in return... It's not a nice feeling, having put someone out so much, and only being able to offer empty thank-yous in return.
Furina	About Furina Avoiding the Question: Uh... I'm in no position to give a well-rounded opinion on the Hydro Archon, so... I'll pass. I mean, I've only seen her a few times... so I'm sure I have a somewhat skewed view of her. Verdict: ...Okay fine. I've seen what the Hydro Archon's like when she's sitting in the audience. In my view, she's a very charismatic speaker, but it's her silences that intrigue me more. Her eyes... they're like the darkness at the bottom of the ocean. Hiding a deep secret, afraid of anyone ever getting close to her... Ah! Sorry, I... I let my imagination get the better of me.
Lynette	About Lynette If you assigned Lyney and Lynette with the same mission, they'd both do an outstanding job. But not me. Lynette is always comforting me, saying that everyone has their strengths, and how everyone relies on me to fix things around the house when they break down... If only I was half as good at anything else.
Lyney	About Lyney Magic Shows: At home, Lyney's always showing me his magic tricks. Whenever I smile, he grins excitedly and says the audience is definitely going to love this one... Do I really smile so rarely? Mask: Lyney is our team leader, and acts like everyone's older brother... But I can tell that he puts on a brave face sometimes. I tried to talk to him about it once - told him that he doesn't need to wear a mask all the time. But he denied it, and we ended up having an argument... Since then, I've never brought it up with him again.
Navia	About Navia Lyney told me everything. I'm so grateful to you and Navia for your warmth and generosity. Please pass on my thanks when you see her... Huh? Tell her myself? ...Uh, I, uh... Ooh, I've suddenly got stomach cramps — sorry, gotta dash.
Neuvillette	About Neuvillette One day when I surfaced after a dive, the Chief Justice was just standing there alone on the beach. I don't know whether he had something on his mind, or was just enjoying the view... Obviously, I didn't ask. I only locked eyes with him for a split-second before disappearing back underwater. Thinking back, I must have looked so guilty... (sigh)
