After Lunar Reactions, will we get something Cryo-related in Snezhnaya?

With the release of Columbina (and Zibai coming later), we've confirmed the release of Lunar-Crystallize. I believe this will be the last Lunar-related reaction to release, because any new Lunar-reactions would mean adding them unto Columbina's kit. She's OP as is so I doubt the devs will make her stronger by adding Lunar reactions in association with her.

That said, I have a strong feeling we may get something Cryo related with Snezhnaya. What do you think they'd be? Will we finally have the coveted 'Rimegrass' reaction with Cryo + Dendro? Or will we have Snezhnaya-specific characters that activate special Cryo reactions?

Given Mihoyo's track record of releasing nation-specific gimmicks with Nightsoul, Nascent/Ascendent Gleam and Hexenzirkel, I find the latter to be more likely.

Yea, solar-freeze and solar-conduct - they can be triggered only if you have 4 Shezh characters (all 5* ofc) one of which is Tsaritsa herself (she won't appear on your account untill you get her 7 times btw)

Would really be funny if its "Fire water" related.

1000% Direct Venti bluff.

Your team builts would be restricted to Adults only. (QiQi is ok, since she is over 100 yrs old)

Probably something more like natlan where you need natlan characters for certain enemies. The new reactions are because nod krai isn't an elemental region (or it's a hydro region but with something new because we already have a hydro one)

I pray to gods that Rimegrass will become a thing

It is a thing.. in the theater lol.

But yeah, it'll never probably be a thing since it's not actually a reaction, it's just an external buff/effect and cryo and dendro not reacting is fully intentional. Maybe they'll introduce a character who provides a unique cryo + dendro reaction but I wouldn't expect much if anything.

We’ll almost certainly see a new regional mechanic. Think night soul or the fontaine dmg I can’t spell, neuma / osusia?

If not that, then some sort of new dmg type like lunar reactions. I would imagine they’d be cryo centric, so maybe melt / freeze / super conduct. If we’re lucky, they properly introduce rimegrass (dendro and cryo reaction from an IT we had).

Hopefully fucking not

I very much doubt we'll get special reactions. That was NK specific gimmick and I don't think they'll use it again, not in a "standard" region at least.

I'm expecting some regional gimmick that has something to do with heat contol. Columbina teased us about the special heat sources in Snez so I assume the gimmick will revolve around those things in some way. And for characters, perhaps that means that they'll be able to do extra damage to pyro/cryo shields and the new regional shields etc.
