Notes:

  • 4x Blizzard Strayer is best with Cryo resonance and freeze comp team (Xingqui, Barbara) to maximize Crit Rate bonuses from Blizzard Strayer so you can focus on Crit DMG for your artifact stats
  • Dash regularly for permanent Cryo infusion on your attacks (usually lasts for 2 full combos)
