Chongyun is a 4-star Cryo Cryo Infusion Support / Sub-DPS in Genshin Impact. Chongyun is a 4-star Cryo Claymore character from Liyue who functions as a field-based Cryo infusion enabler and low-cost burst sub-DPS. His Elemental Skill, Spirit Blade: Chonghua's Layered Frost, deploys a Frost Field that converts the Normal and Charged Attack damage of any Sword, Claymore, or Polearm user standing inside it to Cryo damage — a unique mechanic that enables otherwise-impossible Cryo application on physical-auto carries. His Elemental Burst costs only 40 Energy and fires three AoE spirit blades, making him one of the most battery-friendly sub-DPS options in the game. His A4 passive adds a bonus AoE Cryo hit and a 10% Cryo RES shred when the Frost Field expires, squeezing extra value into his already-dense kit. He is a niche but consistent pick in Cryo-reaction teams — particularly Freeze and Melt — where his infusion field and rapid Burst uptime let teammates cycle more freely.
