Whom to take in the squad for the battle with Cryo hypostasis
This hypostasis has 100% Cryo Damage Resistance, so taking the characters of this element is highly undesirable, since the damage from them will not through the boss. Heroes that are able to react with this element are best suited - for example, Pyro or Electro. The preference should be given to the first option.

Cotton
An attack that all hypostases have. Summons two constructs that collapse in front of him, dealing massive damage and knocking the character down. To dodge, back away or dash into the space between the structures below the boss.
Freezing rain
Powerful area attack. The boss flies up and creates ice crystals, which he brings down around him three times, gradually increasing the radius. Try to stay close to the center to avoid the attack. If it's too late to run to the boss's core, move further away from it.
cryo shelling
Another attack that the rest of the hypostases have. Attacks from the air with homing cryo projectiles. Constantly move and dash to dodge them. The boss at this time is open to attacks - beat him if there are archers or catalysts in the squad.
ice spikes
It descends to the ground and creates a lot of ice spikes that deal multiple damage and also interfere with the character's movement. Enter the center of the area close to the hypostasis so that the attacks do not hit the hero. In addition, the boss is open to damage at this time.
ice wheel
It turns into a wheel that constantly moves behind the character. The wheel is able to turn around and change its trajectory. Dodge it with a dash to the side when it comes very close. Also control its movement and make sure that Cryo Hypostasis does not fly out of the arena, otherwise the fight will be reset and you will have to start over.

Team up with Pyro characters
Pyro element deals the highest damage to Cryo. In addition, with the attacks and skills of the characters of this element, you can partially knock down the shield from the boss while he summons crystals.
Bask on the warming poles
Around the boss arena there are three pillars that remove the effect of severe frost from the characters. Activate them before the battle so that during the battle you can safely approach them and warm up.
Avoid hypostasis attacks
Almost all of the boss's attacks are targeted or area-of-effect. Watch hypostasis carefully to understand his next attack and dodge.
Wait for open kernel
The moment to hit the boss appears after the completion of each type of attack. Wait until an exposed Hypostasis Core appears and then attack it.
Channel frost crystals into hypostasis
After the boss's HP drops to the minimum level, he will cover himself with a Cryo shield and summon frost crystals. Try to stay close to the boss so that he throws the crystals not far from him. Do not try to break the shield with two-handed weapons or Pyro attacks, as its durability is not based on the Cryo element, but on binding to its crystals.
To effectively remove the shield and force the boss to go into a long vulnerability phase, you need to push the dropped crystals into it. Approach each one so that the Cryo Hypostasis is directly in front of the character, otherwise the crystal will fly off in the other direction due to the wrong trajectory. Attack the fallen snowballs with charged attacks of any hero to send them back to the boss. Each crystal removes part of the shield - hit three of them to remove the shield completely.
