Freminet is a 4-star Cryo character in Genshin Impact who focuses on powerful Physical, Frozen and Shatter damage. Pressurized Floe deals Cryo DMG and enters Pers Timer for 10s changing the Elemental Skill to Shattering Pressure. I'd spend on Freminet for Pressurized Floe before looking at weaker Cryo substitutes.

Strengths

  • Pressurized Floe deals Cryo DMG and enters Pers Timer for 10s changing the Elemental Skill to Shattering Pressure.
  • Shadowhunter's Ambush increase the Pers Timer by 2 while the Cryo attacks DMG is increased.
  • Gives Main DPS coverage that shows up in both Abyss and Theater when built.
  • Posts C-tier Spiral Abyss and C in Imaginary Theater on our content ratings strip.

Weaknesses

  • Energy planning matters — skimping on ER makes Freminet's Burst feel inconsistent.
  • Without key constellations, some of the kit's advertised comfort is missing.

The setup phase focuses on establishing elemental auras and buffs before Freminet takes the field. This ensures maximum uptime on Superconduct and Shatter during his damage window.

PB
Physical Build C0Support

C0 Freminet focuses on balancing Physical DMG bonuses with enough Energy Recharge to maintain his Burst. This build relies on external batteries to ensure a smooth rotation.

PB
Physical Build C2+Support

C2+ Freminet gains significant Energy restoration from his Skill, allowing for lower ER requirements on gear. This enables a heavier investment into CRIT and ATK stats for higher Physical output.

CB
Cryo Build C0Sustain

A Cryo-focused build utilizes Freminet's Cryo infusions to deal elemental damage rather than Physical. This setup prioritizes Blizzard Strayer and Cryo resonance for high CRIT consistency.
