Freminet vs Razor

Calculating diver vs. instinctive wolf boy

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Freminet if…

  • If you enjoy a more rhythmic, technical combat style
  • When utilizing Shatter and Freeze mechanics
  • For a more consistent Physical damage output without Burst

Pick Razor if…

  • If you want a simple, high-speed 'unga bunga' playstyle
  • When you want to try 'Rainbow' (Overload/Burgeon) builds
  • For a character that batteries themselves very well
Verdict

Razor is easier to pilot and more flexible with modern 'rainbow' teams. Freminet is a more cohesive Physical/Cryo carry but is slightly more difficult to play optimally.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Freminet

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.
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.

Razor

Strengths
  • Claw and Thunder deals additional Electro DMG to opponents in front of Razor.
  • Lightning Fang summons The Wolf Within from Razor which will damage all nearby opponents with Electro DMG.
  • Natural fit for Electro Main DPS slots without forcing a weird team shape.
Weaknesses
  • Without key constellations, some of the kit's advertised comfort is missing.
  • Razor's best Electro Main DPS showings still ask for a coherent team, not a random four-slot fill.

Shared Team Members

With Freminet

Fischl provides Freminet with easy access to Superconduct via Oz, reducing enemy Physical RES and boosting his Pers damage. Her off-field damage and energy generation help Freminet maintain his rotations and overall DPS output.

With Razor

Fischl is the ideal battery for Razor, generating a constant stream of Electro particles to keep his Burst uptime at 100%. Oz's coordinated attacks also help Razor trigger reactions and maintain a high level of sustained Electro damage.
