Chevreuse Build and Guide

Chevreuse is a 4-star Pyro Polearm user most commonly played as a support for Overloaded teams. 

Chevreuse’s role is most clearly defined by her first Ascension Passive: when there are only Pyro and Electro characters on the team, whenever Overloaded is triggered, Chevreuse provides a potent 40% Pyro and Electro RES Shred for 6 seconds. Most notably, Chevreuse does not need to be on-field or be the reaction trigger for this; while the debuff can wear off on teams without consistent Pyro and Electro application, it also allows for great rotation flexibility.

Triggering Overload reactions with any character also grants Chevreuse an “Overcharged Ball”, which is fired when her Hold Skill is used. However, both her Tap and Hold Skill generate Energy and allow Chevreuse to provide healing to the active character, while the extra damage and AoE of the Hold Skill are relatively inconsequential; rather, its main use is instead enabling her second Ascension Passive, which further improves her ability to further buff the team. When firing an Overcharged Ball providing the team an ATK% buff which scales based off of her Max HP, capping at 40000 HP to provide 40% ATK. While Chevreuse herself has ATK scalings, her poor personal damage means building towards this is often optimal - though the Passive does not need to be maximized to be good.

The rest of her base kit is relatively unremarkable. Her Burst only deals damage, so is often skipped if not needed either to trigger effects such as Noblesse Oblige or for its multiple damage instances and Pyro application; her Normal Attacks are entirely standard and are similarly only used for reasons not related to Chevreuse’s kit.

Finally, as a 4* Chevreuse's Constellations are relatively accessible and worth discussion. For the most part, they are nice but superfluous add-ons: her C1 allows Chevreuse to grant another character 6 Energy when they trigger Overloaded while on-field once every 10 seconds. Note that since the active character has to trigger Overloaded, it can be difficult to manage who gains the energy restoration despite the good value when it can be effectively utilized. Her C2 allows Chevreuse's Hold Skill to deal 2 additional hits of Pyro damage every 10 seconds, which is useful for hitcount and Pyro application. Her C4 makes it so her Hold Skill does not cause her Skill to go on Cooldown when cast within 6 seconds of her Burst, triggering up to two times; note that Chevreuse’s Skill has a 10 second cooldown on its particle generation and thus no extra energy is generated. This can potentially improve Chevreuse's damage to non-negligible levels, but the time it takes to execute 3 Hold Skills is often not worthwhile. 

Her capstone Constellation, though, is far more noteworthy. It grants her a teamwide heal when the ticks of her Skill healing ends; more crucially, it allows Chevreuse to grant a 20% Pyro and Electro DMG Bonus buff to a target that she heals, lasting 8 seconds and with up to 3 stacks. Being able to grant the active character a 60% DMG Bonus is incredible - while her already potent buff volume meant she functions well without her C6, it is nonetheless a notable increase. The teamwide healing also means her party as a whole can enjoy one stack of the buff for a brief time.
