Freminet vs Xinyan

Shatter-focused Physical vs. Pyro-Physical support

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Freminet if…

  • As a dedicated budget Physical main carry
  • In teams using Hydro to enable Shatter combos
  • When you want a modern kit without split-scaling issues

Pick Xinyan if…

  • As a specialized support for another Physical carry
  • When you specifically need Pyro resonance and Physical shred
  • If you have her C2 and want to build a burst-only nuke
Verdict

Freminet is a functional main DPS, while Xinyan struggles to find a clear identity. Freminet is the better choice for carrying a team, while Xinyan is a niche support.

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.

Xinyan

Strengths
  • Sweeping Fervor deals Pyro DMG in front of Xinyan and creates a Shield based on the number of enemies hit.
  • Riff Revolution deals DMG in an AoE around Xinyan dealing both Physical and Pyro DMG.
  • Natural fit for Pyro Shield Support slots without forcing a weird team shape.
Weaknesses
  • Needs honest Energy Recharge or a battery friend before the kit feels smooth.
  • Constellation breakpoints matter more than the C0 kit advertises.

Shared Team Members

With Freminet

Mika's ATK Speed and Physical DMG buffs are tailor-made for Freminet, allowing him to stack his Pers meter faster and deal more damage. His healing provides necessary sustain for Freminet during his on-field combat sequences.

With Xinyan

Mika provides Xinyan with the Physical DMG buffs she lacks in her base kit and increases her attack speed for better field presence. His healing also helps Xinyan stay healthy while her shield is down or under pressure.
