Chongyun Best Build

CryoClaymore
A young exorcist from a family of exorcists. He does everything he can to suppress his abundance of yang energy.

An exorcist who roams the land with Liyue as his base of operations, evil spirits fleeing wherever he goes. As the heir to a clan of exorcists, he has always possessed abilities superior to most. However, these abilities are not the result of training, but of an inborn trait — a pure-yang spirit.
