  1. Accidentally misread the C4 – it doesn't apply to burst, only skill. It still benefits from teams with more cryo units to increase its number of procs, though.

    Also, you can get both damage bonuses with constellation one, but number of quills will be overridden by the most recent E cast.

  2. Yeah so basically confirms what I’ve been saying. People have been overselling how useful she is. She’s barely an upgrade to Rosaria when she’s a 5 star. Also I wish this compared not just Shenhe vs Rosaria/Kaeya, but Shenhe vs other supports that could have taken her slot. She’s effectively eating a slot on the team that could be used for other supports.

  3. Everytime there is a new 5 star support I always think whether or not I should pull for him/her in all my 3 accounts. Like Zhongli, Kazuha, Raiden..I have them all in 3 accounts. I'm just a welkins player and I purchase BP sometimes. For now only 1 account I pulled Shenhe, the one with Ayaka and Eula. She did great with the team! No need for other accounts though.

  4. After playing this game for soon a year now.. what makes Shenhe so valuable is how you can create some niche teams with her. Plus I would argue she's a very future proof character. I wouldn't recommend her to new players.. but for anyone who can clear Abyss 36 stars already she's definitely not a bad choice to go for.

  5. Without Ayaka and Ganyu, what kind of comps would you recommend? Melt Rosa seems pretty strong, but what other freeze or mono cryo options are there? My Shenhe is C2 and I regret nothing 😂

  6. Disagree with the AoE part tbh. Even if her quills are spent on aoe, the total output remains the same with single target. I get that you want to focus on primary target but in AoE scenarios you will need to clear secondary targets to finish the content anyway, so why "single-target locked"?

  7. This is misleading as it's too shallow and misses some important pieces of information. I recommend checking out Shenhe mains reddit or discord for more insightful information.

    It states that Shenhe is a support/subDPS, then compares her to Kaeya and Rosaria. But Kaeya is just a battery as a support/subDPS, as he brings nothing else to the table for the team. Rosaria is just a battery in a cryo team as her CR from her A4 is arguably useless especially in freeze with BS artifacts, C6 Rosaria can bring physical shred, but that's also arguably useless in a cryo/freeze team. But, Shenhe brings ATK buff (Quills), cryo shred (burst), cryo dmg bonus (A1) and more buffs from A4. They're simply not comparable.

    It also throws out a few % dmg difference between her and Kazuha and Bennett, but there's no information about how those figures came to be. In what circumstance? What teams, enemies, gear? What if you mixed them in some team comps instead of looking to directly replace them?

    Then it says that her DPS isn't good, but in comparison to what? She isnt a primary DPS, but she can definitely do good damage. In freeze with Chongyun to infuse her attacks with cryo, she can hit for 20-30K NAs pretty easily and much higher dmg with her skill/burst. And if you go reverse melt, I've hit 60-70K NAs/CAs, and over 100K skill hit. Again, she won't rival top primary DPS numbers, but she isn't a wet noodle either. And even in subDPS, I've hit pretty decent to good numbers when she isn't the main DPS (C0 with PJWS full ATK build).

    And it's just a voice over with some slides with Ayaka killing things in the background. But what difference is Shenhe making with and without her being in the team? At least for me, Shenhe essentially doubles my Ayaka NAs and CAs (C0 / R1 MS), and provides a huge buff to her burst. Which means that C1 would be a notable constellation for a support/subDPS. But the video downplays C1?

    This video just feels disappointing coming from KQM after 2 weeks of Shenhe being released. I know it's not the detailed breakdown which will hopefully come out eventually, but as a recommendation guide, it feels misleading at best.
