Sustain
Yelan is perfect in Freeze teams with a DPS such as Skirk thanks to her high amounts of Hydro application allowing for consistent freezes to take place.
Skirk functions as the primary Cryo carry, utilizing her fast attacks to shatter or maintain Freeze on targets. Her high damage ceiling is fully enabled by the off-field Hydro application from Yelan and Furina.
Yelan delivers consistent off-field Hydro application via her Burst, which is essential for maintaining the Freeze status. Her ramping damage buff also significantly increases Skirk's on-field output.
Furina provides a universal DMG buff through her Fanfare mechanic while contributing significant off-field Hydro damage. Her presence enables Hydro Resonance, increasing the team's total HP pool for better scaling.
Escoffier ensures team survival by countering Furina's HP drain with consistent healing. Their Cryo application helps maintain the Freeze aura and provides Cryo Resonance for a 15% Crit Rate boost against Frozen enemies.
