Notes
[C1] against Cryo affected enemies

Kaeya freeze is mostly used in a team with Chongyun and Xingqiu/Barbara while having Blizzard Strayer (4) equipped. In this team, Kaeya has 55% crit rate against Frozen enemies without any additional Crit stats, which means Crit Rate substats are generally prioritized less than ATK% or Crit DMG.

Melt
Kaeya's Elemental Burst makes him an excellent source of Cryo application for characters that often stay in melee range, although his burst can't be fully utilized with Reverse Melt teams due to how his Cryo damage is split into a barrage of attacks.

Regarding Weapon Choices


In teams with a 2nd Cryo unit generating energy, this weapon would have a lower priority as the Energy Recharge stat would mostly be wasted.

/ / At [R5], these weapons would outperform Summit Shaper.

Regarding Artifact Sets


Due to his ability to easily trigger Instructor's passive, Kaeya is a good holder of Instructor (4) for Reverse Melt teams. Aside from ER%, most of his other main stats don't matter as much, making this one of his budget support builds.


This set is only recommended if there is no other member of the team running Noblesse Oblige (4).
