WWhich Genshin Impact Shenhe build is the best?


Best weapon	Calamity Queller
Weapon substitutes	Skyward Spine, Favonius Lance
Best artifact set	Crimson Witch of Flames, Gladiator’s Finale
Main stats	Sands – Energy recharge Goblet – Cryo damage bonus Circlet – Attack
Sub stats	Attack, crit rate, crit damage

With her ability to enhance her own and her teammates' cryo damage, Shenhe is a cryo polearm wielder with both support and sub-DPS capabilities. This makes her an ideal partner for frosty powerhouses such as Genshin Impact's Ganyu and Genshin Impact's Ayaka.. With her elemental burst, she may also weaken opponents, providing your DPS character with the ideal chance to breach their defenses.

As long as you have another hydro and a cryo character on the sidelines, you may employ Shenhe as your primary DPS, depending on your team composition.

How should I utilize Shenhe from Genshin Impact?

Shenhe is a support group designed for physical and cryo characteristics. Depending on whether you tap or hold her elemental talent, she gives you various bonuses.

To put it simply, you may do a lot more damage by using Shenhe's ability and burst before switching to your primary cryo DPS because of the benefits she gives to friends and the debuffs she applies to foes.

Which Shenhe weapons are the best?

Calamity Queller, a five-star polearm that can be found next to Shenhe's reruns on the weapon banner, is the ideal weapon for her. Another five-star, the Engulfing Lightning, is a fantastic choice because of its high energy recharge stat.

For F2P players, the majority of these alternatives may be a little difficult to get since they are gacha. To help with this, we have added the Dragonspine Spear, which can be made in-game and works nicely with Shenhe's cryo damage boosts.

Weapon	Effect (level one)	How to obtain
Calamity Queller (five-star)	Bonus effect: Increases attack Skill: Shenhe gains a 12% elemental damage bonus, and obtains Consummation for 20 seconds after using a skill, causing her attack to increase by 3.2% per second. This attack increase has a maximum of six stacks. When Shenhe is not on the field, Consummation’s attack increase is doubled	Weapon banner (alongside Shenhe)
Engulfing Lightning (five-star)	Bonus effect: Increases energy recharge Skill: Increases attack by 28% of Shenhe’s energy recharge over the base 100%. Gain a maximum bonus of 80% attack. Gain 30% energy recharge for 12 seconds after using an elemental burst	Weapon banner (alongside Raiden Sogun)
Skyward Spine (five-star)	Bonus effect: Increases energy recharge Skill: Increases critical rate by 8% and increases normal attack speed by 12%. Additionally, normal and charged attack hits on enemies have a 50% chance to trigger a vacuum blade that deals 40% of attack as damage in a small AoE. This effect can occur no more than once every two seconds	Standard banner
Favonius Lance (four-star)	Bonus effect: Increases energy recharge Skill: Crit hits have a 60% chance to generate a small number of elemental particles, which regenerate six energy for Shenhe. Can only occur once every 12 seconds	All banners
Lithic Spear (four-star)	Bonus effect: Increases attack Skill: For every character in the party who hails from Liyue, Shenhe gains a 7% attack increase and a 3% crit rate increase. This effect stacks up to four times	Weapon banner

Which Genshin Impact Shenhe relics are the best?

Shenhe may have up to five artifacts equipped to her, much as any other Genshin character. While Blizzard Strayer is a fantastic choice since it gives her very high cryo and critical damage bonuses, the other two sets also provide her some incredible numbers. To maximize the advantages you want, you may combine sets of two artifacts or the whole set. For instance, Shenhe may significantly boost her attack by equipping herself with two Gladiator's Finale and two Shimenawa's Resistances during the in-game trial.

Artifact	Effect	How to obtain
Blizzard Strayer	Two equipped: Increases cryo damage bonus by 15% Four equipped: When Shenhe attacks an enemy affected by cryo, her crit rate is increased by 20%. If the enemy is frozen, her crit rate is increased by an additional 20%	Peak of Vindagnyr domain
Gladiator’s Finale	Two equipped: Increases attack by 18% Four equipped: Increases Shenhe’s normal attack damage by 35%	Weekly bosses, world bosses, Domain Reliquaries from Spiral Abyss, and Artifact Strongbox: Gladiator’s Finale
Shimenawa’s Reminiscence	Two equipped: Increases attack by 18% Four equipped: When casting her elemental skill, if Shenhe has 15 or more energy, she loses 15 energy, and her normal/charged/plunging attack damage is increased by 50% for ten seconds. This effect will not trigger again during that duration	Momiji-Dyed Court domain
