How to play Shenhe in Genshin Impact: Team roles and abilities explained
Genshin Impact recently dropped Shenhe's first rerun in the 3.5 Phase II banners. The 5-star Cryo Polearm character is a premium support unit that can provide Cryo teams with buffs and off-field damage. She has proven her worth since her debut as a powerful unit, making her one of the most wanted characters by those who want to buff Cryo DPS units.
In this guide, Genshin Impact players will learn about Shenhe's abilities, such as her elemental skills and bursts. They will also learn about her role in different team compositions and how to use her in rotation to bring out her full combat potential.
Shenhe's kit primarily makes her a Cryo buffer in Genshin Impact. She has a natural synergy with all Cryo DPS units, but her Icy Quill effect makes her less impactful in AoE scenarios. Nonetheless, she is an excellent choice in any situation, providing much-appreciated resistance shreds, damage buffs, and personal damage via her kit.
Her Elemental Skill has a tap-and-hold version and will grant Icy Quill effect when any form of Cryo DMG is dealt to enemies. This effect will provide the DMG dealt based on Shenhe's total ATK in Genshin Impact.
Shenhe's Skill is her essence, contributing the most to team damage with her Icy Quill effects. This, combined with her 4th Ascension Passive, allows Shenhe to be a venerable buffer. Shenhe's Skill gains value as more of her teammates deal Cryo DMG (like in Mono Cryo teams).
Her Burst is her main source of personal damage in Genshin Impact and the best way to activate her own Icy Quill effect. This effect deals 12 ticks of Cryo damage over its base duration. It also offers Cryo and Physical RES Shred, making it a valuable asset for her Cryo and Physical DPS teammates.
