# Kaeya ## Roles * **Off-Field DPS** (Elemental Burst) * **Support**: Energy Battery * **On-Field DPS** ## Character Breakdown * **Elemental Skill** deals **Cryo DMG** in a cone in front of Kaeya, also healing him slightly based on Kaeya's **ATK**. * **A4** allows his **Elemental Skill** to generate additional **Cryo** energy particles whenever enemies are **Frozen** by it. * **Elemental Burst** summons **3 icicles** that revolve around the active character for 15 seconds, dealing **Cryo DMG** to any targets they hit. ## Additional Notes * Kaeya's **Utility Passive** decreases sprinting **Stamina** consumption by 20%, allowing for slightly more dodging ability especially with **Stamina** intensive **Charged Attack** Characters. * Combination of decent **Energy Particle** generation and **Energy Recharge** as an ascension stat allows Kaeya to be able to build heavily into damage stats and still be able to support his own **Elemental Burst**, especially in **Freeze** team compositions. * **C2** increases the duration of his **Elemental Burst**. * **C6** adds an additional icicle to the **Elemental Burst** and refunds a portion of the energy cost. ## Works Well With #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e4caab2093061f33939aec6f4eac6ccd7c25bb1f%2Fui_icon_cryo.webp?alt=media) * Off-Field DPS capabilities pair well with other **Cryo** On-Field DPS to add additional **Cryo** application and damage to teams. * Kaeya's high **Energy Particle** generation allows him to work as a powerful Energy Battery for other **Cryo** On-Field DPS, especially in [**Freeze** ](https://genshinteambuilds.gitbook.io/teams/teams/freeze)teams. * **Cryo Resonance** as a whole is very powerful in teams which constantly apply the element. #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4198981d3d309ce3fd787a69829682baa5a935dc%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Xingqiu.png?alt=media)![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-cca3344c29cead14f197ea449d410ddd0c5a17c9%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Barbara.png?alt=media)![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-74a5672fb0993c68fd1bdf8b663f41bffd81c15f%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Mona.png?alt=media) * Characters with high **Hydro** application paired with Kaeya enables [**Freeze** ](https://genshinteambuilds.gitbook.io/teams/teams/freeze)teams. ## Does Not Work Well With​ ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-541d03812a7b6598ecf4d19552553408afc04fcb%2Fui_icon_geo.webp?alt=media) * **Geo** **DMG** shatters **Frozen** enemies making these characters not ideal in [**Freeze** ](https://genshinteambuilds.gitbook.io/teams/teams/freeze)teams. * **Geo** can be used with **Cryo** if you do not intend to **Freeze** enemies. ## Teams {% hint style="info" %} Click on the team names below for more details on how the team works and alternative support options that can work with that team {% endhint %} [**Melt (Cryo)**](https://genshinteambuilds.gitbook.io/teams/teams/reverse-melt) #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-9db6fb85d7bb3115996315400f373cd90b0a985b%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Rosaria.png?alt=media)![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-90de69ae1e491f2ef557fb022efed8d27aed54c0%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Xiangling.png?alt=media)![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a5a7d2292a4a2bac6e756fc382766676d664487e%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Kaeya.png?alt=media)![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a3126049bd01daa498b0309add40ebfef1ae6072%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Bennett.png?alt=media) * This team is based around frequently applying **Pyro** to enemies and then using Off-Field **Cryo** DPS to cause **Melt** reactions. * Given frequent enough **Pyro** application, both Kaeya and Rosaria's **Cryo DMG** can trigger **Melt.** * [**Melt (Cryo)**](https://genshinteambuilds.gitbook.io/teams/teams/reverse-melt) teams may lack team flexibility, as they rely on the Elemental applications of multiple characters.
