The banner for Shenhe in Genshin Impact appeared on January 5, 2022 as part of update 2.4 and has the community quite excited – the socially ill-adapted Cryo unit has a lot to offer, especially for pure teams of her element. This guide will show you the best weapons and artifacts for Shenhe in both support and sub-DPS roles.
Shenhe can use her elemental ability to boost her teammates’ Cryo damage based on her own attack value, which makes her excellent as a support for Cryo-only teams. The focus on attack also opens up the opportunity to equip Shenhe as a sub-DPS – if your Cryo lineup still has a need for that role.
Her ultimate not only does Cryo area-of-effect damage but also greatly reduces enemies’ resistance to the element as well as any physical damage. This further increases the effectiveness of her teammates. Always use the elemental ability before the ultimate to take full advantage of it. Make sure to check our list of best DPS characters in Genshin Impact to form a strong team.
