Internal Cooldown:No ICD, including Passive A4
Elemental Gauge:Skill Damage: 2 Units
Extra Spirit Blade (A4): 1 Unit

Chongyun strikes the ground with his greatsword, causing a Cryo explosion in a circular AoE in front of him.

This skill has the following effects:

  • After 0.5 seconds, the skill will create Chonghua’s Frost Field. This will infuse Cryo properties to Sword, Claymore and Polearm-wielding party members attacking from within the field. All normal and charged attacks done within the field will deal Cryo damage.

    This will not override elements infused through elemental bursts.
  • The Frost field will remain for 10 seconds after the initial attack from ChongYun.
  • The Cryo infusion will remain for at least 2 seconds (depending on the skill level) even after you leave Chonghua’s Frost Field.
  • With the Steady Breathing passive talent unlocked, all characters that attack within the Frost Field will gain 8% Attack Speed.
  • With the Rimechaser Blade passive talent unlocked, another Spirit Blade will be summoned at the epicenter of Chonghua’s Frost Field once its duration ends.

    This blade will deal Cryo damage and reduce the Cryo Resistance of all enemies within a small AoE. The debuff lasts for 8 seconds.

    The damage dealt by this passive skill is the same as the elemental skill.
  • With the 2nd Constellation unlocked, all elemental skill and burst cast within the Frost Field will have their Cooldown reduced by 15%.
  • The skill will only generate elemental particles upon hitting enemies from Chongyun’s attack with his claymore. Any subsequent hit after that, even from the Spirit Blade through the Rimechaser Blade passive talent will not generate elemental particles.

Elemental Gauge:1 Unit Per Hit

ChongYun performs secret hand seals, summoning 3 giant spirit blades in mid-air that fall to the earth one by one after a short delay. exploding as they hit the ground.

This skill has the following quirks:

  • Each Spirit Blade can launch small enemies in the mid-air. Heavier enemies such as Fatuis will not get launched.
  • Each Spirit Blade has an independent critical rate chance.
  • With the 6th constellation unlocked, ChongYun will summon 4 Giant Spirit Blades instead of 3.

    Additionally, it will deal 15% more damage to enemies with a lower percentage of remaining HP than Chongyun.

    Note that it only measures the percentage of HP and not the actual HP so this effect can still apply even when fighting monsters with significant numerical HP value than ChongYun.
