In the ever-evolving world of Teyvat, Freminet remains a fascinating enigma from the nation of Fontaine. As of 2026, this reserved diver, who prefers the company of the ocean's depths to bustling crowds, continues to be a uniquely versatile combatant. Wielding a Claymore with the chill of Cryo, he carves a path that's not just about brute force, but a calculated dance between Physical and elemental might. Getting the most out of him, well, that's where the real adventure begins—it's all about understanding the quiet power beneath the surface.

The Artifact Blueprint: Dressing for Success

When it comes to gearing up Freminet, think of it like preparing for a deep-sea expedition: you need specialized equipment. The core of his build revolves around amplifying his dual-nature damage. He's a bit like that friend who's great at two completely different things—you want to support both! The artifact set that has stood the test of time is the 4-Piece Pale Flame.

This set is practically his tailor-made wetsuit. The 2-piece effect gives a straight 25% boost to Physical DMG, which is music to his ears. The 4-piece effect is where things get spicy: every time his Elemental Skill connects, his ATK gets a 9% bump for 7 seconds. This can stack twice, and when it does, that sweet Physical DMG bonus from the 2-piece effect doubles. Talk about a power spike! Since a huge chunk of Freminet's damage output is Physical, focusing here is a no-brainer. It gives his Cryo attacks a nice little ATK boost too, making him a well-rounded threat.

When hunting for the perfect pieces, keep your eyes peeled for these stats:

Artifact Piece Priority Main Stat Priority Sub-Stats
Sands ATK% CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge
Goblet Physical DMG Bonus (or Cryo DMG Bonus for an elemental focus) CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > ATK%
Circlet CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG (whichever balances your ratio) CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > ATK%

The goal is to max out those ATK and CRIT stats to turn him into a true Main DPS monster. For the Goblet, going for Physical DMG Bonus is the classic, most effective route, though choosing Cryo DMG Bonus is a valid alternative if you want to lean into his icy side.

Choosing His Weapon: The Claymore Conundrum

Freminet's weapon options are where you can really express your style (or your luck with wishes!). He's not picky—anything that boosts his ATK or CRIT is welcome. Here’s the breakdown from the legendary to the reliably craftable.

The 5-Star Dream Team:

  • Song of Broken Pines: This is the holy grail for Physical-focused Freminet. It boosts Physical DMG and has a skill that, after a few hits, unleashes a party-wide buff boosting Attack Speed and ATK. It's incredibly powerful but, let's be real, as rare as a calm day in Fontaine's seas. It usually only swims alongside Eula's banners.

  • Wolf's Gravestone: The classic, reliable powerhouse. It gives a massive ATK boost to Freminet himself and, when facing weakened foes, gives the entire team an ATK boost. It's much more accessible than the Pines and still slaps incredibly hard. A fantastic all-rounder.

The 4-Star Stars (and a Craftable Champion):

  • Snow-Tombed Starsilver: If you have this, it's almost a perfect match. It boosts Physical DMG and has a chance to drop an icicle on enemies, dealing extra damage that doubles against Cryo-affected foes. Since Freminet applies Cryo himself, this synergy is chef's kiss.

  • Prototype Archaic: The trusty, forgeable option. Don't sleep on this one! It boosts ATK and has a solid chance to deal a big chunk of bonus AoE damage. It's the "workhorse" weapon—always gets the job done reliably, even if it's not the flashiest. For many players, this is the go-to.

Building the Crew: Team Compositions

Freminet might enjoy solitude, but in battle, even he needs a good team. As a Cryo Main DPS who loves Physical damage, you want to set him up for success. The key is to enable reactions that work with his kit, not against it.

The ideal strategy often involves setting up the Frozen reaction. Why? Because a frozen enemy is a sitting duck, allowing Freminet to safely whale on them with his Claymore, triggering Shatter for extra Physical damage. It's a beautiful, crunchy combo.

However, because he's often focusing on Physical strikes, having another Cryo character on the team is a brilliant move. This activates the Cryo Resonance, which increases CRIT Rate against enemies affected by Cryo or Frozen—making those big Physical hits even more likely to be critical strikes. It's like giving him a targeted advantage.

So, who makes the cut? Think about bringing:

  1. A Hydro applicator (like Xingqiu or Yelan) to enable Freeze.

  2. A second Cryo unit (like Rosaria for extra CRIT Rate sharing, or Diona for shielding and healing) for Resonance and energy.

  3. A flex spot for shielding, more damage, or crowd control. An Electro character like Fischl can also work to trigger Superconduct, which reduces enemy Physical RES, making Freminet's hits even harder!

Building the perfect team for him is like assembling a diving crew: each member has a role that supports the mission. Get the synergy right, and Freminet will silently dominate the battlefield, leaving only frozen splinters in his wake.
