Best Teams for Shenhe
Shenhe Works Best as Support for Cryo Damage Dealers
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| Best | ▼ Premium Freeze - Shenhe is best used in a Freeze team since her Off-Field Cryo can be utilized for Freezing the enemy. - Along with her ability to buff Cryo damage, she can support any Cryo DPS. |
| 2nd | ▼ Mono Cryo - Shenhe in Mono Cryo is now better than Melt teams due to the releases of new characters. - Escoffier can still shred 55% of the enemy's resistances and Skirk can be used as DPS. - Though Skirk can't use her Elemental Skill level up buff, she can still deal decent damage. |
| 3rd | ▼ Melt Support Shenhe - Shenhe can be used as Melt support for DPS characters like Wriothesley or Ayaka that can do well in Melt. - Along as the Pyro aura is maintained using Burning or Anemo characters' burst, Melt can be consistently triggered. |
| 4th | ▼ Physical Support Shenhe - Shenhe's ability to buff Normal Attacks and shred Physical Resistances allow her to be used as Physical DPS support. - Since Eula is a Cryo character, Shenhe can also funnel Energy Particles to maintain the uptime of her Burst. |
Shenhe is a great support for Cryo damage dealers since she can give them a multitude of buffs and funnel Energy particles for them. Her ability to apply Cryo Off-Field can be utilized for Melt and she can also decrease the Physical RES of enemies with her Elemental Burst.
