Freminet
Who is Freminet?
Freminet is a 4★ Cryo Claymore Main DPS from Fontaine, the youngest sibling of Lyney and Lynette and a skilled diver for the House of the Hearth. Rated D-tier overall but A-tier Exploration, his kit revolves around a Pressure Level system on his Elemental Skill — building Pressure Levels through Normal Attacks to discharge either Cryo (Levels 1-3) or amplified Physical (Level 4) damage. He excels in Shatter teams where his Claymore hits on Frozen enemies deal bonus damage, and benefits greatly from Cryo support and Superconduct setups.

Kit Summary
Claymore swings that cycle through Pers Timer levels, building Pressure on his Skill.
Punches with Pers, his diving companion — damage type and power depend on the current Pressure Level (1-3 = Cryo; 4 = amplified Physical "Shattering Pressure"). Skill cooldown resets on Burst cast.
Deals Cryo AoE DMG, resets Skill cooldown, enhances Pers' frost for subsequent attacks, and reduces Skill cooldown throughout its duration.

F2P Verdict
Snow-Tombed Starsilver (craftable) is his best accessible weapon — Physical DMG bonus plus an AoE proc on Frozen enemies.
Prototype Archaic (craftable) is a strong general Claymore option if Snow-Tombed is not built.
Superconduct (Electro + Cryo) reduces enemy Physical RES by 40% — always include an Electro unit like Fischl.
Mika (Cryo healer + Physical ATK SPD buff) is his ideal support and also a free 4★.
Shatter is his best reaction: Claymore hits on Frozen enemies trigger Shatter, bypassing the Frozen damage cap. Source: https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/417207
