Icy Quill
When Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts deal Cryo DMG to opponents, the DMG dealt is increased based on Shenhe’s current ATK.
The Icy Quill’s effects will be cleared once its duration ends or after being triggered a certain number of times.
When held rather than pressed, the Icy Quill’s effect lasts longer and can be triggered more times.
When one Cryo DMG instance strikes multiple opponents, the effect is triggered multiple times based on the number of opponents hit. The number of times the effect is triggered is calculated independently for each party member with the Icy Quill.

SHENHE BUILDS / STRATEGY
HP | ATK | ATK%/ER% | ATK% | ATK%
EARLY SUPPORT: Shenhe is really easy to build in the early game to buff your team. All you need to do is give her as much ATK% and ER as possible.
DAMAGE SUPPORT: To get the most use out of her, you will still want ATK% and ER while also adding as much damage stats as possible with Cryo DMG, CD%, CR%, and EM.
These are also general recommendations, you will need to alter your artifacts and stat builds based on what content you want to use this character for and what team you are using him/her with, however, these are consider among the best polearms for Shenhe. A general rule for DPS units are CR is roughly 50% of your CD.
SHENHE CONSTELLATIONS
Snowswept Sakura (Lvl 1): When Kamisato Ayaka’s Normal or Charged Attacks deal Cryo DMG to opponents, it has a 50% chance of decreasing the CD of Kamisato Art: Hyouka by 0.3s. This effect can occur once every 0.1s.
Blizzard Blade Seki no To (Lvl 2): When casting Kamisato Art: Soumetsu, unleashes 2 smaller additional Frostflake Seki no To, each dealing 20% of the original storm’s DMG.
Frostbloom Kamifubuki (Lvl 3): Increases the level of Kamisato Art: Soumetsu by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Ebb and Flow (Lvl 4): Opponents damaged by Kamisato Art: Soumetsu’s Frostflake Seki no To will have their DEF decreased by 30% for 6s.
Blossom Cloud Irutsuki (Lvl 5): Increases the Level of Kamisato Art: Hyouka by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Dance of Suigetsu (Lvl 6): Kamisato Ayaka gains Usurahi Butou every 10s, increasing her Charged Attack DMG by 298%. This buff will be cleared 0.5s after Ayaka’s Charged ATK hits an opponent, after which the timer for this ability will restart.
STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS:
- Shenhe is an insane attack booster in Genshin Impact!
- Her burst decreases resistance and deals AoE Cryo damage.
- She’s a super SUB dbps support which really stacks for big damage to your main.
WEAKNESSES
- She is very niche with specific teams to shine.
- She needs a lot of investment in the late game as she is super stat hungry.
- She is weak against Cryo monsters since they are immune.
RANKING
Combat Rating (2/10): Shenhe isn’t really the one doing the fighting on the field. Her low score is because there’s a lot of planning with rotations to get the most out of her.
Exploration (1/10): She doesn’t offer anything to improve the efficiency exploring the map.
Spiral Abyss (9/10): She is a solid sub dps support to allow for speed clears with your main for huge damage.
Artifact Farming (8/10): She serves the same role here as she does in the Abyss.
Normal/Weekly Bosses (8/10): She is an amazing support for this content to destroy the boss quickly and improves farming efficiency.
