Main stats

  • Goblet: physical or cryo damage bonus (depending on build)
  • Circlet: crit rate or damage
Sub-stats
  • Energy recharge
  • Crit rate/damage
  • Attack%

Overall, Freminet’s best weapon is Skyward Pride, as it suits him well in both a cryo and a physical DPS build. However, if you have a Serpent Spine at refinement rank five, it actually outperforms Skyward Pride for cryo DPS Freminet. But, considering Serpent Spine is hotly contested, Skyward Pride is under-utilized, and that physical DPS is Freminet’s main role, we generally recommend sticking with Skyward Pride. I mean, we’ve all got one gathering dust in our inventory, right?

For a cryo build, Freminet’s best artifact set is a full set of Blizzard Strayer, and Pale Flame is his best set for a physical build. Either way, when picking artifacts you should focus on getting his energy recharge up first, then boost his crit rate/damage and attack%.

How to use Freminet

Freminet is a unique four-star cryo character who can act as a physical DPS, a cryo DPS, or a hyperbloom driver, giving you some flexibility in how you want to play him.

As a physical DPS (which is his standard role), your main focus should be getting Shattering Pressure to level four. You can do this by popping his elemental skill and weaving normal attacks in between to raise that pressure level.

In a cryo DPS role, you should focus on using his elemental skill as often as possible to dish out as many Shattering Pressure instances as you can throughout his elemental burst’s duration.

Freminet can also be a viable hyperbloom driver as he benefits from electro application and the hydro character can enable his shatter. However, this is a bit more of a niche role for him, so we’re primarily focusing on cryo and physical DPS builds in this guide.

What are the best Freminet weapons?

Overall, Skyward Pride is the best weapon for Freminet, especially if you have him at C2 or lower. Its base attack, energy recharge, damage buff, and vacuum blade passive all add up to make it a very strong option for him, with those aforementioned vacuum blades even providing the benefit of physical resistance shred.

However, Serpent Spine at refinement rank five actually pulls ahead of Skyward Pride if you intend to use Freminet in a cryo DPS role, and it’s a strong second to Skyward Pride in a physical DPS role. At R5, Serpent Spine out-ranks any other five-star claymores for him, but at R1 it is only slightly better than his free-to-play options, so it really depends on those refinement ranks.

In a cryo DPS build, Freminet’s next best five-star claymore is Wolf’s Gravestone. As a physical DPS, his next-best five-star after Skyward Pride is Song of Broken Pines. However, both of these have other uses and are likely better used on other characters. Beyond that, other five-star claymores primarily act as stat sticks, generally sitting behind Serpent Spine R5 and above Serpent Spine R1.

If you’re looking for something that’s a little easier or cheaper to obtain, then Prototype Archaic is Freminet’s best free-to-play option in both playstyles.
