Frozen Reaction Guide in Genshin Impact
Frozen is an Elemental Reaction caused by applying Hydro onto Cryo and vice versa. When a Frozen Reaction occurs a Freeze Aura will be applied and enemies will be immobilized but the reaction itself will not deal any damage. Instead it can be used to follow up with additional Elemental Reactions while the enemy is Frozen.
Best Frozen Characters
Listed below are some characters which effectively utilise the Frozen Elemental Reaction. This is not a definitive list and many Hydro or Cryo characters can be used.

| Sangonomiya Kokomi | Kokomi has amazing AoE Hydro Application using Kurage's Oath which can even be refreshed again using Nereid's Ascension to allow for constant uptime on both healing and Hydro. |
| Kamisato Ayaka | Ayaka is often a staple in Freeze teams with impressive Cryo application in all aspects of her kit she helps to keep enemies locked down while also dealing high damage. |
