Here is a complete skills overview of Cryonaia in AFK Journey:

• Frostveil Domain (Ultimate Skill): Cryonaia enters the domain of Eternal Winter, gaining a Frost Shield that soaks damage. She also brings three enemies with her, isolating them for a while. Crowd-control effects cannot affect her while Eternal Winter is active. Additionally, her Haste and attack increases, and she becomes invincible. The Eternal Winter domain ends if all enemies inside are defeated or the Frost Shield breaks.
• Icicle Tempest (Skill 1): She summons a powerful ice storm lasting for a certain period. The ice storm constantly moves on the battlefield, damaging enemies within its range. If she enters the Eternal Winter domain, she creates one ice storm and two mini storms that last until the domain ends.
• Frigid Edge (Skill 2): Cryonaia creates 5 ice shards and launches them at an enemy, dealing damage.
• Frozen in Time (Exclusive Skill): Cryonaia deals damage to enemies every time she brings them to the Eternal Winter domain. Only she will be able to use her Ultimate Skill while being in the domain. At level 4, Frozen in Time can freeze time, stopping the battle timer for up to 30 seconds with Eternal Winter.
