Role: On-Field Physical DPS / Cryo Skill DPS
Best For: Players who want an on-field Claymore character who can combine Physical damage, Cryo attacks, and Shatter-focused gameplay.
1. Recommended Artifacts
4-Piece Pale Flame — Recommended for Physical Freminet because he can maintain the set’s ATK and Physical DMG bonuses through his Elemental Skill.
Alternative: 4-Piece Blizzard Strayer is recommended for a Cryo-focused Skill build, while Marechaussee Hunter is particularly strong when Freminet is paired with Furina.
2. Recommended Weapons
Premium: Skyward Pride
Alternatives: Song of Broken Pines, Beacon of the Reed Sea, Serpent Spine
F2P: Tidal Shadow / Prototype Archaic
Skyward Pride works especially well with Physical Freminet because it provides Energy Recharge while its vacuum blades deal Physical damage. Tidal Shadow and Prototype Archaic provide practical craftable alternatives for players without premium Claymores.
3. Recommended Teams
Shatter: Freminet + Xingqiu + Fischl + Mika
Physical: Freminet + Fischl + Mika + Furina
Shatterbloom: Freminet + Nahida + Xingqiu + Kuki Shinobu
Freminet benefits from triggering Shatter, which increases the damage of his Shattering Pressure through his Ascension Passive. Electro teammates are also valuable for Physical builds because Superconduct reduces enemy Physical RES.
4. Main Stats / Substats
Sands: ATK%
Goblet: Physical DMG Bonus / Cryo DMG Bonus
Circlet: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
Priority: Energy Recharge until needed → CRIT → ATK%
Choose the Goblet according to Freminet’s playstyle: Physical DMG Bonus for his Level 4 Shattering Pressure build or Cryo DMG Bonus for a Cryo Skill-focused build. He also needs enough Energy Recharge to maintain his Burst, which enables his main damage sequence.
5. Playstyle
Use Freminet’s Elemental Burst to enter Subnautical Hunter mode, then use his Skill and Normal Attacks to build Pressure. Physical Freminet generally builds to Pressure Level 4 before unleashing Shattering Pressure for a powerful Physical hit.
A Cryo-focused build instead uses lower Pressure levels to cast Shattering Pressure more frequently for Cryo damage. His Elemental Skill is the most important talent for both playstyles, followed by Normal Attack and Burst.
6. F2P
Freminet can be built effectively with craftable Claymores. Tidal Shadow provides a strong ATK bonus when Freminet receives healing, while Prototype Archaic is a straightforward alternative that works without specific team requirements.
F2P players should prioritize enough Energy Recharge for reliable Burst uptime, then focus on CRIT and ATK. Freminet does not need to stack Elemental Mastery simply because he uses Shatter—the reaction primarily serves to activate bonuses in his kit rather than becoming his main source of damage.
*StoryBillion Tip: Freminet has two distinct playstyles. Build Pressure to Level 4 when playing him as a Physical DPS, but use Shattering Pressure at lower levels when focusing on Cryo damage. Your Goblet and artifact set should match whichever playstyle you choose.
