List of Contents
Cryo is the ice Element in Genshin Impact, with Snezhnaya being the designated Cryo Region and Tsaritsa as the Cryo Archon.
The Cryo status on your character will slow their movement and attack speed animations. This also means that Cryo Elemental Reactions can also affect you (like being Frozen by Hydro) if the enemies have elemental attacks.
Name | Condensed Ice |
---|---|
Effect | Increases Stamina consumption. |
Condensed Ice increases the stamina consumption of your character and comes from a Leyline Disorder or an Enemy Aura. This debuff can only be removed by using a cleanse ability or applying a different element to yourself.
Having two Cryo characters in the party will activate the Cryo Resonance Buff called Shattering Ice, which causes Electro to last 40% less on your characters and Increases CRIT Rate against Frozen or Cryo-affected enemies by 15% for all party members.
