Kaeya is the 2nd freely obtainable character that you can get as you progress through the story. He is a Cryo damage dealer that can apply the element reliably. His main skill's cooldown is fairly low, making it a good skill to freeze enemies for a short duration. His elemental burst can also help you combo with your other elements since the effect stays even when you switch characters.
"Coalescing the frost in the air, Kaeya summons 3 icicles that revolve around him. These icicles will follow the character around and deal Cryo DMG to enemies in their path for so long as they persist."
