Apply Protect to key allies with Battle Skill (60s duration). Use Combo Skill when Protected allies are attacked to trigger Counter for bonus Cryo damage. Deploy Ultimate (Ice Shell) before major enemy bursts for team shielding. Maintain Protect on your main DPS at all times. Works best in Cryo teams with Yvonne, Gilberta, or Xaihi for maximum synergy.
