Genshin Impact has recently added some exciting new characters being added into the game, including Freminet. Here’s everything you need to know about Freminet, including his abilities, best weapons, and artifacts.

The 4.0 update for Genshin Impact was the biggest addition to the game since the Sumeru region launched back in 3.0. This patch has introduced players to the Fontaine region with a handful of exciting characters and new gameplay mechanics.

Among these new fighters is Freminet, who debuted in the second half of the update. Freminet has since returned as one of the available 4-stars on Arlecchino and Lyney’s banner from April 24, 2024, to May 14, 2024.

Freminet abilities in Genshin Impact

An overview of Freminet’s abilities can be found below:

Normal Attack: Flowing Eddies

  • Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.
  • Charged Attack: Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous spinning attacks against all
  • nearby opponents. At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.
  • Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along
  • the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill: Pressurized Floe

Freminet does an upward thrust that will deal Cryo DMG and cause Freminet to enter Pers
Time for 10s. While in Pers Time, his Elemental Skill will turn into Shattering Pressure.

Shattering Pressure

Executes different sorts of attacks based on the Pressure level of Pers Time,
and then cancels Pers Time.

  • Level 0: Unleashes a vertical cut that will deal Cryo DMG.
  • Levels 1 to 3: Unleashes a vertical cut alongside Pers, dealing Cryo DMG and
    Physical DMG. DMG dealt scales based on Pressure level.
  • Level 4: Borrows the power of a fully-pressurized Pers to deal Physical DMG.

Pers Time

When Freminet uses Normal Attacks, he will also unleash waves of frost that
deal Cryo DMG and increase Pers’ Pressure level. The accompanying Cryo DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG. After Pressure Level 4 is reached, initiating a Normal Attack will convert it to a Level 4 Shattering Pressure.

Fundamental Force: Pneuma

At certain intervals, after using the upward thrust, a Spiritbreath Thorn in the form of another upward thrust will be created, dealing Pneuma-aligned Cryo DMG. To immobilize one’s opponent without taking their life can also be considered something of a “survival” strategy that one may choose.

Elemental Burst: Shadowhunter’s Ambush

Unleashes a wave of untouchable cold, dealing AoE Cryo DMG, resetting the CD of the Elemental Skill Pressurized Floe, and causing Freminet to enter the Stalking mode for 10s. While Stalking, his interruption resistance will increase, and Pressurized Floe will obtain the following buffs:

  • CD decreased by 70%.
  • Normal Attacks will give Pers 1 additional Pressure stack, and the frost
    released by his Normal Attacks deal 200% of their original DMG.
    This effect will be canceled when Freminet leaves the field.

Freminet Constellations in Genshin Impact

  • Level 1 — Dreams of the Seething Deep: The CRIT Rate of Pressurized Floe: Shattering Pressure will be increased by 15%.
  • Level 2 — Penguins and the Land of Plenty: Unleashing Pressurized Floe: Shattering Pressure will restore 2 Energy to Freminet. If a Pressure Level 4 Shattering Pressure is unleashed, this will restore 3 Energy.
  • Level 3 — Song of the Eddies and Bleached Sands: Increases the Level of Normal Attack: Flowing Eddies by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
  • Level 4 — Dance of the Snowy Moon and Flute: When Freminet triggers Frozen, Shatter, or Superconduct against opponents, his ATK will be increased by 9% for 6s. Max 2 stacks. This can be triggered once every 0.3s.
  • Level 5 — Nights of Hearth and Happiness: Increases the Level of Pressurized Floe by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
  • Level 6 — Moment of Waking and Resolve: When Freminet triggers Frozen, Shatter, or Superconduct against opponents, his CRIT DMG will be increased by 12% for 6s. Max 3 stacks. This can be triggered once every 0.3s.

Best artifacts for Freminet in Genshin Impact

Freminet’s best artifact set is the Pale Flame. The set bonus can be found below:

  • 2-piece: Physical DMG +25%
  • 4-piece: When an Elemental skill hits an opponent, ATK is increased by 9% for 7s. This effect stacks up to 2 times and can be triggered once every 0.3s. Once 2 stacks are reached, 2-set effect is doubled.

Best weapons for Freminet in Genshin Impact

The best weapon for Freminet is the 5-star Claymore Song of the Broken Pines. This weapon has a Physical DMG bonus substat that can also increase ATK%. This effect will increase Freminet’s Physical DMG output.

When this Claymore is equipped, Freminet gains Sigil of Whispers (once every 0.3 seconds) after using a Normal or Charged Attack. When you reach 4 Sigils, all will be consumed, and all nearby party members will get increased Normal ATK SPD by 12% and ATK by 20% for 12 seconds.

You could also equip Wolf’s Gravestone on Freminet to increase his ATK by 20%. Also, attacks against enemies with less than 30% HP increase all party members’ ATK by 40% for 12s. This can only occur once every 30 seconds.

Freminet’s 4-star Claymore options include Prototype Archaic, Snow-Tombed Starsilver, and Serpent Spine.

Best Freminet team comp in Genshin Impact

Freminet can work well in various teams, but we recommend using him in a composition focused on Shatter. Therefore, you should use him alongside a Hydro character like Yelan or Xingqiu due to Freminet’s Normal Attacks.

An effective team comp would consist of Freminet, Xingqiu, Fischl, and Mika. You could also switch in Kuki Shinobu for Fischl and Kokomi for Mika.

You could also add Nahida to act as a sub-DPS alongside Freminet, Xingqiu, and Kuki Shinobu.

There you have it. That’s our recommended build for Freminet in Genshin Impact. Make sure you check out our Genshin Impact page for all the latest news and updates.
