Spirit Blade: Chonghua's Layered Frost

Chongyun strikes the ground with his greatsword, causing a Cryo explosion in a circular AoE in front of him that deals Cryo DMG.
After a short delay, the cold air created by the Cryo explosion will coalesce into a Chonghua Frost Field, within which all Sword, Claymore and Polearm-wielding characters' weapons will be infused with Cryo.

"A crystal-clear ring, and all is silent. The rivers move not, and the clouds are heavy with frost. The altar gates open, and evil is banished."

• Notes:

Emblem of Severed Fate provides the highest personal damage by a very small margin over 4-piece Noblesse Oblige, and if not hyper-invested, loses out in general team DPS. If paired with Sacrificial Greatsword, he risks having too much Energy Recharge for his 40 Energy Elemental Burst, so the other sets are recommended instead.

Lavawalker is niche and generally resin-inefficent, but will perform somewhere between 4-piece Noblesse Oblige and Emblem of Severed Fate. (Only in teams where he has Pyro aura to Melt off.)

• Notes:

Your talents do not have to be leveled for this build. Offensive stats are not extremely important but if running Noblesse Oblige set, Energy Recharge is needed to burst consistently. Team mates such as Bennett may already use the set, and if so, Energy Recharge can be ignored too.

The flex character slots can be anyone that deals acceptable off-field damage but doesn't fully mess up Bennett's Melts. Someone like Albedo is good, but characters providing shielding or crowd control is nice too.

Stories

Throughout its long history, Liyue has never had a lack of rumors and myths regarding all manner of evil spirits and demons. And regardless of the truth of such rumors, someone has to do something about them. Chongyun was born into a renowned family of exorcists, and has possessed a natural ability to drive away evil spirits from a young age due to his pure-yang spirit. His powers of exorcism are far beyond the norm: his mere presence is sufficient to scatter evil spirits. However, this has proven to be an inconvenience for Chongyun himself, for though he has undertaken hundreds of successful exorcisms, he has never come face-to-face with a single ghost or demon. Chongyun believes in his heart that a true exorcist should exorcize evil with charms and swordsmanship. This natural ability that he has... is just not orthodox. Therefore, he has dedicated himself to the study of exorcism techniques and martial arts, as well as seeking the haunts of evil spirits to prove himself an able and professional exorcist even without his unique physical condition. Yet, when will that condition stop being a stumbling block on his path to self-realization?
