Chongyun

Chongyun (Chinese: 重云 Chóngyún) is a playable Cryo character in Genshin Impact.

Born with an excess of yang (positive) energy, Chongyun has become a highly effective exorcist in Liyue — so effective to the point where he hasn't seen a spirit himself, as they immediately flee when he approaches. The excessive yang energy also makes him particularly susceptible to heat and strong emotion, which has led to some rather unexpected results.

	Spirit Blade: Chonghua's Layered Frost	Elemental Skill
Chongyun strikes the ground with his greatsword, causing a Cryo explosion in a circular AoE in front of him that deals Cryo DMG. After a short delay, the cold air created by the Cryo explosion will coalesce into a Chonghua Frost Field, within which all Sword, Claymore and Polearm-wielding characters' weapons will be infused with Cryo. When this skill hits at least one enemy, it generates 4 Elemental Particles. The infusion is applied every second to active characters within the field. This skill can override certain elemental infusions.
