Best Shenhe build in Genshin Impact 2023

Shenhe was introduced in Genshin Impact 2.4 update and instantly took everyone's heart with her story and kind heart. She comes from a branch family of a clan of exorcists and is the disciple of Cloud Retainer.

She is a 5-star character in the game and bears the Cyro element. Shenhe is used as a support character as she can buff other party members and de-buff the enemies. 

If you have Shenhe in your team and want to utilize her properly, here is the best build for her including the weapon and artifacts.

Best Weapon

Calamity Queller would be the best weapon for Shenhe; however, if you couldn't get your hands on it, you can also go with Engulfing Lightning or Favonius Lance.

Gladiator's Finale and Shimenawa's Reminiscence are the best artifact sets for Shenhe.

    DMG by 35%.

Shimenawa's Reminiscence

  • 2-Piece Bonus: ATK +18%.
