Chongyun is a young thaumaturge from a renowned family of exorcists and possesses a natural ability to drive away evil spirits. His pure yang energy is the reason for this gift, which Chongyun sees as an inconvenience because his mere presence scares all spirits, not allowing him to ever see one of them his entire life.
This exorcist is a 4-star character who owns a Cryo Vision. He is a versatile character because he can be a DPS character, a support character, or both, depending on the team composition you put him in. To know more about Chongyun, his talents, and play styles, please see our guide about it by clicking this link.
Since Chongyun is a permanent 4-star character, you will have a chance to get him when wishing on all three wish banners. However, the best time to make wishes, if you want him, is when he is one of the featured 4-star characters in a Character Wish banner.
