Cryo DMG All Around

Genshin Impact - Cryo Hypercarry Deck Guide - Cryo DMG and Infusion

This deck almost exclusively focuses on dealing Cryo DMG all throughout the battle, made possible by Chongyun's Elemental Skill and amplified by Shenhe's. This applies even to the Raiden Shogun's own attacks!

Pay attention to the deck's order and ensure that your dice align with your characters to lead to more actions. With Shenhe's buff, the Superconduct reaction, and proper rotation, duels will be over before you know it!

How to Play Cryo Hypercarry Deck

Shenhe's Buff for More Cryo DMG

Genshin Impact - Cryo Hypercarry Deck Guide - Shenhe

Start with Shenhe and cast her Elemental Skill to get things going, then switch to Chongyun and have him cast his.

This will infuse the Normal Attacks of melee characters with Cryo, which means even the the Raiden Shogun can deal her own bouts of Cryo DMG! Additionally, this synergizes well with Shenhe's Cryo buff, as it increases all Cryo DMG done by your characters!

Raiden Shogun for Energy and Electro Support

If you have Starsigns at the ready, go ahead and use it on the Shogun then cast her Elemental Skill to get that final 1 Energy. This will provide Elemental Burst DMG increase and an Electro summon.

Alternatively, you can do a Normal Attack which, thanks to Chongyun, will deal Cryo DMG. Afterwards, unleash her Elemental Burst, which gives both Shenhe and Chongyun with 2 Energy each!

Superconduct for Multi-Targeting

With both Cryo and Electro present, Superconduct deals Piercing DMG to your opponent's standby characters due to the summons from the Shogun's Skill and Shenhe's Burst, so make sure to have them up constantly.

Keep your eyes peeled for any and all opportunities to trigger this reaction. Doing so will dramatically speed up the progress of the duel and tip the balance heavily in your favor!

Finish with Chongyun's Elemental Burst

After the Shogun fulfills her roles, switch back to Shenhe and have her cast her Elemental Burst. If you can fit more actions in a single turn, refresh her Elemental Skill before switching to Chongyun.

Around that time, at least one of your opponents characters should already be defeated. Unleash Chongyun's Elemental Burst which, with both Shenhe and the Shogun's buffs, can deal as much as 10 DMG!

When building this deck, you'd want to ensure as much actions as possible in a single turn, as well as making Elemental Bursts easier to access. Liu Su should be put on the field immediately if you have him, which will give you one Energy whenever you swap characters!

As for your ensuring actions, that all falls on whether or not you have usable dice. Should your dice rolls be unlucky, Stone and Contracts and The Bestest Travel Companion! both have your back, with Toss-Up and Covenant of Rock not far behind.
