Tier	S (In Overload) / F (Otherwise)

Chevreuse is the "Nilou of Overload." She transforms the Overload reaction from a nuisance into a deadly tool. By replacing the need for an Anemo unit (Kazuha/VV), she shreds enemy resistances simply by triggering reactions, while also providing healing and ATK buffs.

Quick Guide (TL;DR)

If you don't have time for the math, here is the cheat sheet.

Best Artifact: 4pc Noblesse Oblige (Buffer) or 4pc Song of Days Past (Healer).
Best Weapon: Rightful Reward (Craftable/F2P) or Favonius Lance (Battery).
F2P Weapon: Black Tassel (3⭐ - Maximum HP stat stick).
Main Stats: SANDS: HP% | GOBLET: HP% | CIRCLET: HP% or Healing Bonus.
Talent Priority: Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst > Normal Attack (Ignore).
Top Team: Chevreuse + Raiden Shogun + Sara + Bennett (Raiden Hypercarry Overload).

Critical Restriction: Chevreuse's resistance shred ONLY works if your party consists exclusively of Pyro and Electro characters. Bringing one Anemo, Geo, Cryo, Dendro, or Hydro unit disables her main passive entirely.

Talent Breakdown & Mechanics

Passive 1: Vanguard's Coordinated Tactics

The "Anti-VV" Effect: If your team is ONLY Pyro and Electro, triggering Overload reduces the enemy's Pyro AND Electro RES by 40% for 6s.
Why it's good: It frees up Kazuha/Sucrose for your other team in Abyss and is easier to execute (no swirling needed).

Elemental Skill: Short-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire

Tap: Quick damage. Don't use this.
Hold (Targeted Shot): If a party member triggers Overload, Chevreuse gains an "Overcharged Ball." Holding E fires this ball, dealing higher damage and—crucially—activating her ATK buff (Passive 2).
Healing: After firing, she heals the active character continuously for 12s.

Passive 2: Vertical Force Coordination

The Buff: After firing an "Overcharged Ball" (Hold E), all Pyro and Electro party members gain ATK based on Chevreuse's Max HP.
Scaling: 1% ATK for every 1,000 HP. Maxes out at 40% ATK (requires 40,000 HP).

Talent Priority Order:

Elemental Skill (Level 9+) - Increases Healing.
Elemental Burst (Level 6) - Just for extra damage.
Normal Attack (Level 1) - Ignore.

Stat Requirements & ER Thresholds

Your primary goal is hitting 40,000 HP. Everything else is secondary.

Build Type	Target HP	Target ER
Max Buffer (Recommended)	40,000+	120% - 140%
Sub-DPS (Hybrid)	30,000	150%+

Substat Priority:

HP% (Until 40k)
Flat HP
Energy Recharge
CRIT Rate (Only if using Favonius Lance)

Best Artifacts Comparison

Set Name	Recommendation	Reasoning
4pc Noblesse Oblige	Best for Team DMG	If no one else has it (e.g. Bennett isn't on the team), use this for the 20% ATK buff. Stacks with her passive.
4pc Song of Days Past	Best for Personal Healing	Converts her healing into a flat damage buff. Great if Bennett is already holding Noblesse.
2pc HP / 2pc HP	Easiest to Build	Mix sets like Vourukasha's Glow and Tenacity to hit the 40k HP cap easily.

Weapon Rankings

Weapon	Type	Performance	Description
Rightful Reward	HP% / Craftable	S+ (F2P BiS)	Craftable Fontaine polearm. Gives HP and refunds Energy when healed. Perfect synergy.
Black Tassel	HP% / 3-Star	S	The "Slime Killer." Highest HP stat stick for Polearms. Use this if you struggle to reach 40k HP.
Favonius Lance	ER% / Gacha	A (Utility)	Good for generating particles for energy-hungry teammates (like Xiangling), but makes hitting 40k HP harder.

Constellation Value

Chevreuse is complete at C0, but C6 transforms her into a top-tier buffer comparable to Kazuha.

C1: Stable Front Line's Resolve - (Comfort) Triggers 6 Energy for the active character when they trigger Overload. Great for rotation smoothness.
C4: Secret Method... - (Niche) Allows you to Hold E twice. Mostly for DPS Chevreuse memes.
C6: Pursuit of Ending Evil - (Broken) After 12s of healing from her Skill, she grants up to 60% Pyro DMG Bonus and 60% Electro DMG Bonus to the team. This rivals Kazuha's buffing capabilities.

Verdict: C0 is perfectly functional. Aim for C6 over time for massive damage spikes.

Top Team Compositions

1. Raiden Hyper-Overload

Main DPS: Raiden Shogun
Sub-DPS: Yae Miko / Fischl
Buffer: Bennett / Sara
Support: Chevreuse

Why it works: Chevreuse shreds Electro RES for Raiden/Yae and Pyro RES for Bennett/Xiangling. Unlike Kazuha, she doesn't need to be on-field to swirl both elements.

2. Yoimiya/Arlecchino Overload

Main DPS: Yoimiya / Arlecchino
Electro App: Fischl (C6 is best) / Beidou
Utility: Thoma / Dehya
Support: Chevreuse

Why it works: Overload knocks small enemies back, which usually hurts melee DPS. However, Yoimiya (ranged) and Arlecchino (huge lunge range) don't care about knockback, making them perfect partners.

Rotations & Combos

The "Overcharged" Rotation:
Raiden E > Bennett E Q (Triggers Overload) > Chevreuse HOLD E (Fires ball) > Chevreuse Q > DPS Rotation

Tip: Always trigger an Overload reaction before swapping to Chevreuse. She needs that reaction to spawn the "Overcharged Ball" for her Hold E.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is she better than Kazuha?
In Overload Teams, yes. She shreds both elements instantly without complex double-swirling setups and frees Kazuha for your second team. In non-Overload teams, she is useless.

Does she work with Clorinde?
Yes! Clorinde loves Overload teams and benefits greatly from the RES shred and ATK buff Chevreuse provides.
