Genshin Impact is a massively successful, narrative-driven gacha RPG that takes you into a completely different world full of breathtaking locations, terrifying monsters, and,
Most importantly, however, Genshin Impact gives its players the ability to interact and even play as countless vibrant characters—each with their unique backstories, personalities, character design, and gameplay mechanics.

Among these many characters in Genshin Impact is Chevreuse—a Pyro gunner that’s quite versatile in that you can build her as either a support or a sub-DPS.
In this guide, we will go over everything you need to know about Chevreuse. This includes a complete overview of the unit, her best weapon and artifact builds, as well as which units you can pair her up with for an optimized team comp.
Character Overview (Chevreuse’s Role, Constellations & Combat Talents)
In this section, we will discuss which role Chevreuse best fulfills in a team, the Constellations you can get after getting her dupes, and the Combat Talents you can use whenever you have her at your party.

Depending on the availability of your artifacts and which units you already have, you can use Chevreuse as either a Pure Support with decent healing capabilities or a Sub-DPS/Support Hybrid—exclusively for Pyro/Electro teams.
Her A4 Passive—Vanguard’s Coordinated Tactics is a wonderful passive skill that ensures Chevreuse’s viability (no matter her role) as long as you put her in a team full of Pyro and Electro characters that utilize the Overload reaction.

NOTE: Despite her versatility, we recommend using Chevreuse primarily as a Pure Support. Building her as a Pure Support is a bit easier in terms of gearing and Constellation level requirements, as you’ll need more resources to make her a viable Sub-DPS.

Here are the Constellations you can unlock whenever you get a duplicate of Chevreuse:

In a nutshell, Chevreuse’s Constellations allow her to improve your team’s Pyro and Electro damage exponentially, making her a fantastic addition to a Pyro-Electro team comps that utilize the Overload effect.
TIP: If you want to use this as a Pure Support, the minimum Constellation Level you want her to be at is C1. As a Sub-DPS, get her up to at least C4. She’s still a good support at C0, but ideally, you want her at C6 because “In Pursuit of Ending Evil” is by far her best Constellation.

Her A1 Passive “Vanguard’s Coordinated Tactics”, in particular, is her most useful support-oriented passive talent that’s tailor-made for boosting an entire party’s Pyro and Electro Elemental DPS.

Also, keep in mind that getting this character to C1 will further improve her A1 Passive by giving it an energy recovery effect, making her a great battery for her teammates.
Chevreuse’s A1 and A4 are her bread and butter—allowing her to fit in many Pyro-Electro team comps, especially ones that prioritize maximizing the Main DPS’ damage, like Raiden hyper carry teams.
TIP: Get Chevreuse to 40,000 Max HP ASAP, as this will unlock her full potential as both a healer and a DPS support. Getting her beyond 40,000 Max HP is also good since it will improve her healing.

If you want to maximize Chevreuse’s DPS to the fullest and use her as a Sub-DPS, consider giving her the following weapons:

Listed below are the artifact builds we recommend you get:
- Noblesse Oblige x4 (Best): Improves Chevreuse’s Elemental Burst.
- Instructor x4: Improves the entire party’s Elemental Mastery.
- Exile x4: Improves the entire party’s Energy Recharge.
- Tenacity of Millelith x4: Improves Chevreuse’s HP and the entire party’s Attack and Shield Strength.
- Song of Day Past x4: Improves Chevreuse’s Healing and the active unit’s DMG.
- Crimson Witch of Flames x4: Improves Chevreuse’s Pyro DMG and increases the effects of Overloaded, Burgeon, Burning, Melt, and Vaporize. Good for her Sub-DPS build.
Main Stats To Prioritize: 1) HP (%) 2) Healing Bonus
Substats To Prioritize: 1) HP (%) 2) Energy Recharge 3) HP (Flat)
TIP: Feel free to invest in other stats once you get to 40,000 Max HP, such as ATK, Crit Rate, or Crit DMG if you want to build her as a Sub-DPS. Also, try to get her to around 160 ER to 200 ER.
Best Team Comps

If you’re looking for the best units to partner with, then look no further! Here we have some of the best team comp recommendations:

| Recommended Team Comp #4 (F2P-Friendly Squad) | Element Type | Role |
| Chevreuse | Pyro | Support |
| Xiangling | Pyro | Main DPS/Sub-DPS |
| Fischl | Electro | Main DPS/Sub-DPS |
| Bennet/Lisa | Pyro/Electro | Support |
TIP: The team comp recommendations listed above are great, but she is so versatile that you can swap her with any Support or Sub-DPS as long as it’s a Pyro/Electro-centric team that can proc Overload consistently. This is all you really need to keep in mind when it comes to picking a team that suits her.
Conclusion
Considering how specialized her kit is and how much value she adds when deployed to an already-stacked Pyro-Electro team, Chevreuse is certainly among the best units you can get in the game.
If you’re debating whether or not you should pull for her, the answer would almost always be YES—especially if you want a Pyro-Electro overload team that performs well above traditional team comps of the same type.
