Background and Story
Chevreuse was born on January 10th in Flueve Cendre, Fontaine. She is renowned for her unwavering commitment to justice, earning her the title of the “long arm of the law” in Fontaine. When she is not patrolling, she enjoys literature where the themes of justice prevail. In her free time, she also has a fascination for muskets—a passion that translates directly into her combat abilities. Additionally, she has an affinity for greasy, sweet food, showcasing a carefree side to her otherwise disciplined nature.
Chevreuse – Talents and Abilities
Normal Attack – Line Bayonet Thrust EX
Chevreuse executes a multi-strike attack with her polearm, landing up to 4 spear thrusts in succession.
Elemental Skill – Short-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire
Chevreuse’s Elemental Skill allows her to fire a musket shot, dealing AoE Pyro damage. The skill has two action modes:
- Press: Fires a musket shot that deals immediate AoE Pyro damage.
- Hold: Enters an aiming mode. If an Overcharged Ball is available, she fires a stronger projectile that deals increased AoE Pyro damage in a larger area.
She gains an Overcharged Ball when a nearby ally triggers the Overload reaction, with a limit of one charge at a time. Additionally, this skill restores HP to the active character based on Chevreuse’s Max HP, making her a dual-purpose support.
Elemental Burst – Ring of Bursting Grenades
Chevreuse unleashes a powerful grenade blast that explodes on impact, dealing AoE Pyro damage. The explosion further splits into smaller shells that detonate after a short delay, dealing subsequent Pyro damage while pulling enemies slightly together. This burst is excellent for crowd control and increasing Overload reaction consistency.
Chevreuse – Passive Talents
Vanguard’s Coordinated Tactics
If all party members consist of Pyro and Electro units with at least one of each, this passive reduces enemies’ Pyro and Electro resistance by 40% for 6 seconds when the Overload reaction is triggered.
Vertical Force Coordination
After Chevreuse fires an Overcharged Ball, nearby Pyro and Electro teammates receive an ATK boost equivalent to 1% per 1,000 Max HP Chevreuse has, stacking up to a 40% ATK boost for 30 seconds.
Double Time March
Reduces the stamina consumption of sprinting for all party members by 20%. This effect does not stack with other similar passive talents.
Chevreuse – Team Synergy and Best Compositions
Ideal Teammates
- Electro Characters: Fischl, Raiden Shogun, or Beidou benefit from her Overload-focused buffs.
- Pyro Characters: Xiangling, Bennett, or Klee help maximize Overload reactions.
- Alternative Support Options: Characters like Kokomi or Diona can provide additional healing while Chevreuse focuses on reaction enhancement.
Replacing Anemo Support
Chevreuse’s resistance-shred effect makes her a potential substitute for traditional Anemo units using the Viridescent Venerer set. This allows teams to maintain strong reaction-based damage without requiring an Anemo character.
