Cryo

is one of the seven Elements.
Its associated Archon is the Tsaritsa, whose domain is Snezhnaya.
==Elemental Resonance==
Having at least two Cryo characters in a party of four results in the Elemental Resonance:
*Shattering Ice: Affected by Electro for 40% less time. Increases CRIT Rate against enemies that are Frozen or affected by Cryo by 15%.
==Elemental Reactions==
 has the following Elemental Reactions:
* Superconduct: Deals and reduces the of enemies caught in the AoE by 40%.
* Frozen: Immobilizes the target and applies a Freeze aura.
** Shatter: If the Frozen target is hit by a Blunt or attack, deals and unfreezes the target.
* Melt: Deals ×1.5 when a Cryo attack triggers the reaction.
* Swirl: Deals while spreading the Cryo status to nearby enemies.
* Crystallize: Creates a Cryo shard. Picking it up creates a Cryo Shield around the character.
==Cryo Status==
 is a status effect that reduces overall character speed. While affected by the status, all animation speed will decrease by 15%. This animation speed decrease stacks multiplicatively with Attack Speed and Movement Speed. This is not to be confused with Sheer Cold, an environmental mechanic that is the result of the Subzero Climate.
Unlike other elements, the Cryo status can also be applied to certain objects, such as Ores, Thunderwoods, Thunder Dwellings, and Amber's Baron Bunny, and can allow certain elemental reactions to occur on such objects.
==Sibling Elements==
 has 2 sibling elements, Frozen and Freeze. The status icon for the Freeze/Frozen auras is similar to that of the Cryo status, but with an animated glow around it.
Cryo, Frozen, and Freeze auras can all coexist on the same target.
===Frozen===
The Frozen element functions similarly to Cryo, but with the following differences:
* It does not react with .
* It does not apply the animation speed debuff.
* The Frozen gauge can be depleted by Poise Damage from Blunt Attacks.
The Frozen element can be applied in several ways:
* Applied to enemies with a Frozen shield.
** All "Cryo" shields used by enemies are actually of the Frozen element, as indicated by the status icon.
* Applied to certain enemies as innate auras, such as Cryo Slimes and the Cryo Hypostasis.
* Applied to characters with certain Talents.
===Freeze===
The Freeze element is applied when a Frozen reaction is triggered and maintains the Frozen state while it is present. Like the Frozen aura, the Freeze aura cannot react with . When a target with the Freeze aura is hit by a Blunt or Geo attack, Shattered will be triggered.
===Frozen Status to Self===
The following Talents apply to its user and/or the active character.
