Best weapon for Chongyun, calculated
A Thousand Blazing Suns tops the weapon calc for Chongyun at 22,568 average damage on Normal Attack combo. Every row below is the same hit with only the weapon swapped, at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1 — the right-hand column is the damage you give up by running it instead.
Each claymore equipped on a Lv90 Chongyun at talent 10 — base ATK, substat and any modelled passive. Weapons whose passive is not modelled show only their raw stats; better a missing buff than a wrong one. Swap any of them in the Chongyun calculator to re-run the whole chain on your own panel.

Chongyun build questions, answered
What does Chongyun scale off?
Chongyun's Normal Attack combo scales off total ATK — character base ATK plus weapon base ATK, then (1 + ATK%) and flat ATK on top. A weapon’s base ATK line therefore feeds this character directly.
What stat does Chongyun get from ascension?
Chongyun's ascension substat is ATK%. It arrives at the Level-80/90 ascension and is part of the character's own stats, so the calculator counts it before any artifact roll is added.
What is the best weapon for Chongyun?
Ranked by computed Normal Attack combo damage at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1, A Thousand Blazing Suns is the strongest claymore for Chongyun at 22,568 average damage per hit. The Lithic Blade used by this page's preset panel averages 15,826, 29.9% behind it.
What artifacts should Chongyun use?
Noblesse Oblige (4) is the set this calculator presets Chongyun with, and the damage tables include its bonuses. Set effects that depend on the element of the hit are applied per row rather than as a flat average.
How much damage should Chongyun do?
On the default Level-90, talent-10 build shown above, Chongyun's largest single hit averages 9,369 — the table lists its CRIT and non-CRIT numbers separately. That is a reference panel, not a target: load your own artifact rolls into the calculator to get your own number.
Do these numbers include Chongyun's constellations?
No — every table is computed at C0. Constellations that are unconditional and clearly numeric are modelled in the calculator and marked as such on this page; the rest are listed as text only and change nothing.
How those numbers are produced: the damage formula, term by term, and the weapon & artifact build guide. If Chongyun still hits soft, the six levers ranked by damage added shows which multiplier is holding a build back.
