Travelers, prepare to once again embrace the power of the Cryo Arts! Genshin Impact Version 5.7, "A Space and Time for You," not only introduces the enigmatic Skirk but also brings back a highly sought-after Cryo support from Liyue, the transcendent Cloud Retainer disciple, Shenhe. For those looking to elevate their Cryo teams to unparalleled heights, Shenhe's rerun is a golden opportunity. But is Shenhe worth your hard-earned Primogems, and how can you ensure she joins your roster? Let’s keep reading.
▍Shenhe's Gameplay
Shenhe is not a damage dealer herself; instead, she is the pinnacle of Cryo support in Genshin Impact. Her entire kit is designed to significantly amplify the Cryo damage output of your main DPS characters.
Her Elemental Skill, "Spring Spirit Summoning," is the core of her support. Depending on whether you Press or Hold the skill, Shenhe grants all nearby party members "Icy Quills." When a character deals Cryo DMG, they consume an Icy Quill to deal increased damage based on Shenhe's ATK stat. This flat damage bonus is incredibly potent, especially for characters with multiple hits of Cryo damage.
Her Elemental Burst, "Divine Maiden's Deliverance," deploys a field that continuously deals Cryo DMG while decreasing the Cryo and Physical RES of enemies within its AoE. This debuff further boosts the damage of your Cryo-focused teammates. Essentially, Shenhe turns your Cryo DPS units into absolute powerhouses.
▍Shenhe Team Compositions
Shenhe thrives in mono-Cryo and Freeze compositions, where she can maximize the utility of her Icy Quills and RES shred. She is the best-in-slot support for characters like:
· Ayaka: The Queen of Freeze comps, Ayaka's numerous Cryo hits consume Icy Quills rapidly, leading to explosive damage.
· Ganyu: Her Charged Shots and Elemental Burst benefit immensely from Shenhe's buffs.
· Wriothesley: As a Cryo Catalyst user, Wriothesley's rapid attacks can also take full advantage of Icy Quills.
· Skirk: The new 5-star Cryo DPS also benefits greatly from Shenhe's ability to boost Cryo damage, making them a formidable pairing in many setups, especially if you're building a highly optimized Cryo team.
A typical Shenhe team might look like Cryo DPS (Ayaka/Ganyu/Wriothesley) + Shenhe + Anemo Crowd Control/VV user (Kazuha/Sucrose/Venti) + Hydro Applier (Kokomi/Mona/Furina) for a potent Freeze team. Her value significantly increases if you already have or plan to pull for these premier Cryo damage dealers.
▍Is Shenhe Worth Pulling?
Absolutely, if you are serious about maximizing your Cryo DPS characters. Shenhe is a premium, dedicated Cryo support who provides unparalleled damage amplification. While she might seem niche, her impact on the right team is transformative, often being the missing piece that takes a good Cryo team to an elite level. If you already have a strong Cryo DPS, or plan to pull for Skirk, Shenhe is an exceptionally valuable addition to your account.
▍How Many Wishes Do You Need to Guarantee Shenhe?
Acquiring any 5-star character in Genshin Impact can be a Primogem-intensive endeavor. To ensure you bring the Divine Damsel home, remember the gacha mechanics: on average, players might need around 75-80 wishes to hit soft pity, and a maximum of 180 wishes to guarantee a 5-star character if you lose the 50/50. With Version 5.7 offering approximately 54-57 free pulls for F2P players, and around 78-86 pulls for Welkin Moon users, even dedicated savers might find themselves cutting it close.
