What it costs to finish this character
Ascension alone: 760 resin (boss drops only) · talents alone: 590 resin.
Talent domain: Diligence, open Tuesday, Friday, Sunday.
A Crown of Insight is needed for the tenth level of each talent, and crowns are not farmable at any resin price — they come from events.
Materials and mora above are exact, straight from the game’s own tables. The resin figure and the day count divide by an average drop per run, which the game does not publish — they are a community-measured mean, not a promise.

Spirit Blade: Chonghua's Layered Frost
Chongyun strikes the ground with his greatsword, causing a Cryo explosion in a circular AoE in front of him that deals Cryo DMG.
After a short delay, the cold air created by the Cryo explosion will coalesce into a Chonghua Frost Field, within which all Sword, Claymore and Polearm-wielding characters' weapons will be infused with Cryo.
"A crystal-clear ring, and all is silent. The rivers move not, and the clouds are heavy with frost. The altar gates open, and evil is banished."

Spirit Blade: Cloud-Parting Star
Performing the secret hand seals, Chongyun summons 3 giant spirit blades in mid-air that fall to the earth one by one after a short delay, exploding as they hit the ground.
When the spirit blades explode, they will deal AoE Cryo DMG and launch opponents.
"As ice doth give the biting frost birth, My transcendent blade shakes heaven and earth. Heed my summons and come hence!"

Weapons and artifacts
UNSURE This is not a tier list and not community guidance — this product has neither. It is a mechanical shortlist, and the rule is printed so you can check it: Claymores of 4★ and above whose secondary stat is one this character’s ascension stat scales with, ordered by base attack at level 90. Weapon passives are not weighed, because a passive is an effect and not a number.
| Weapon | Rarity | Base ATK at 90 | Secondary stat |
|---|---|---|---|
 Fang of the Mountain King | 5★ | 741 | CRIT Rate |
 A Thousand Blazing Suns | 5★ | 741 | CRIT Rate |
 Verdict | 5★ | 674 | CRIT Rate |
 A Teaspoon of Transcendence | 5★ | 674 | CRIT DMG |
 Wolf's Gravestone | 5★ | 608 | ATK% |
 The Unforged | 5★ | 608 | ATK% |
 Beacon of the Reed Sea | 5★ | 608 | CRIT Rate |
 Gest of the Mighty Wolf | 5★ | 608 | CRIT Rate |
| Set | Two-piece | Four-piece |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution of Sojourner | ATK +18%. | Increases Charged Attack CRIT Rate by 30%. |
| Brave Heart | ATK +18%. | Increases DMG by 30% against opponents with more than 50% HP. |
| Blizzard Strayer | Cryo DMG Bonus +15% | When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%. |
| Gladiator's Finale | ATK +18%. | If the wielder of this artifact set uses a Sword, Claymore or Polearm, increases their Normal Attack DMG by 35%. |
| Shimenawa's Reminiscence | ATK +18%. | When casting an Elemental Skill, if the character has 15 or more Energy, they lose 15 Energy and Normal/Charged/Plunging Attack DMG is increased by 50% for 10s. This effect will not trigger again during that duration. |
| Vermillion Hereafter | ATK +18%. | After using an Elemental Burst, this character will gain the Nascent Light effect, increasing their ATK by 8% for 16s. When the character's HP decreases, their ATK will further increase by 10%. This further increase can occur this way a maximum of 4 times. This effect can be triggered once every 0.8s. Nascent Light will be dispelled when the character leaves the field. If an Elemental Burst is used again during the duration of Nascent Light, the original Nascent Light will be dispelled. |
| Echoes of an Offering | ATK +18%. | When Normal Attacks hit opponents, there is a 36% chance that it will trigger Valley Rite, which will increase Normal Attack DMG by 70% of ATK. This effect will be dispelled 0.05s after a Normal Attack deals DMG. If a Normal Attack fails to trigger Valley Rite, the odds of it triggering the next time will increase by 20%. This trigger can occur once every 0.2s. |
| Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods | ATK +18%. | After using an Elemental Skill, gain a 20% Geo DMG Bonus for 10s. When under a shield granted by the Crystallize reaction, or when Moondrifts formed by Lunar-Crystallize reactions are nearby, the above effect is increased by 150%. When these conditions are no longer met, this additional increase disappears after 1s. |
To turn this into a real recommendation section, add a build dataset — per character, the weapons and sets a community source actually recommends, with the rotation each assumes. Nothing in the game’s published data contains that judgement, and a ranking invented here would be indistinguishable from a researched one, which is why there is not one.
Teams
To build a team section, add team data. Which characters go together is judgement about rotations, energy and shielding that this product does not receive and will not guess at.
