Shenhe is a playable support unit in Genshin Impact. She grants DMG addition to characters that deal Cryo DMG based on her total ATK, which is quite interesting since this kind of effect usually scales with Base ATK. This list will rank the best weapons for Shenhe in Genshin Impact.
Ineffa Build In Genshin Impact
Ineffa may look like a support, but her Genshin Impact build is so offensive that she could be a main DPS, if not for her poor Normal Attack scalings.
8 Favonius Lance
|
Primary Stat |
565 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
30.6% Energy Recharge |
|
R5 Effect |
CRIT Hits have a 100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 6s. |
For a Shenhe F2P weapon in Genshin Impact, Favonius Lance is a decent option. The Polearm offers Shenhe a high Base ATK for a 4-star with around 30% Energy Recharge. Additionally, Favonius Lance’s passive effect allows Shenhe to help her team regenerate their Elemental Bursts, providing her kit with an extra supportive utility.
7 Skyward Spine
|
Primary Stat |
674 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
36.8% Energy Recharge |
|
Effect |
Increases CRIT Rate by 8% and increases Normal ATK SPD by 12%. Additionally, Normal and Charged Attacks hits on opponents have a 50% chance to trigger a vacuum blade that deals 40% of ATK as DMG in a small AoE. This effect can occur no more than once every 2s. |
Skyward Spine is a 5-star Polearm that offers a high amount of Base ATK for Shenhe to take advantage of. In addition, Shenhe greatly benefits from the 36% Energy Recharge on its Sub-stat as she struggles with Energy regeneration. Sadly, Skyward Spine’s passive does not provide any further improvement to her kit, which is the reason this weapon ranks below a lot of other options.
6 Missive Windspear
|
Primary Stat |
510 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
41.3% ATK |
|
R5 Effect |
Within 10s after an Elemental Reaction is triggered, ATK is increased by 24% and Elemental Mastery is increased by 96. |
Missive Windspear is a limited F2P weapon for those who didn’t miss the event. It's great for Shenhe as it has an ATK% sub-stat and a passive that further increases her ATK%, making this Polearm a good choice for a Shenhe weapon.
5 Vortex Vanquisher
|
Primary Stat |
608 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
49.6% ATK |
|
Effect |
Increases Shield Strength by 20%. Scoring hits on opponents increases ATK by 4% for 8s. Max 5 stacks. Can only occur once every 0.3s. While protected by a shield, this ATK increase effect is increased by 100%. |
Although Shenhe can't activate the passive effect of Vortex Vanquisher since she’s an off-field unit, she can still benefit from the weapon's high Base ATK and nearly 50% ATK increase. Therefore, Vortex Vanquisher, as a 5-star weapon, is a worthwhile option for Shenhe in Genshin Impact.
4 Lithic Spear
|
Primary Stat |
565 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
27.6% ATK |
|
R5 Effect |
For every character in the party who hails from Liyue, the character who equips this weapon gains 11% ATK increase and a 7% CRIT Rate increase. This effect stacks up to 4 times. |
The Lithic Spear makes for a good Polearm option for Shenhe in Genshin Impact. Its high Base ATK, combined with the 27.6% ATK Secondary stat, boosts Shenhe’s ATK and enhances the Cryo DMG buff she provides to other characters.
Ineffa Team Composition Guide In Genshin Impact
Ineffa provides damage bonuses for Lunar-Charged reaction in Genshin Impact, so including Hydro characters in Ineffa team comps is highly recommended.
In the whole, Lithic Spear’s performance on Shenhe depends on the number of stacks. At two stacks, this weapon would be on par with 5-star Shenhe weapons, and she can get even more value on a full stack.
3 Tamayuratei no Ohanashi
|
Primary Stat |
565 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
30.6% Energy Recharge |
|
R5 Effect |
Increase ATK by 40% and Movement SPD by 10% for 10s when using an Elemental Skill. |
Although it’s a 4-star Polearm, Tamayuratei no Ohanashi is one of Genshin Impact’s best weapons for Shenhe. When using Tamayuratei no Ohanashi, Shenhe gets access to around 30% Energy Recharge and 40% ATK, which is all she needs to perform effectively during her rotation. Moreover, what makes Tamayuratei no Ohanashi a good Shenhe weapon is the fact that it has a nice Base ATK for a 4-star weapon, which gives more value to all the extra ATK% she gets.
2 Engulfing Lightning
|
Primary Stat |
608 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
55.1% Energy Recharge |
|
Effect |
ATK increased by 28% of Energy Recharge over the base 100%. You can gain a maximum bonus of 80% ATK. Gain 30% Energy Recharge for 12s after using an Elemental Burst. |
Engulfing Lightning is the best weapon for Shenhe in terms of utility, as its passive effect grants her a significant amount of ATK% based on her Energy Recharge. This addresses Shenhe's primary issue without sacrificing any ATK% stats. With higher Energy Recharge, Shenhe can cast her Elemental Burst more frequently, while also providing her team with a stronger DMG buff.
Ineffa Best Weapons In Genshin Impact
Ineffa needs to have offensive stats like ATK and Crit from her weapons in Genshin Impact.
Engulfing Lightning also boasts a high amount of Energy Recharge on its Sub-stat and a decent Base ATK, making it one of the top-tier Polearms for Shenhe in Genshin Impact.
1 Calamity Queller
|
Primary Stat |
741 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
16.5% ATK |
|
Effect |
Gain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. Obtain Consummation for 20s after using an Elemental Skill, causing ATK to increase by 3.2% per second. This ATK increase has a maximum of 6 stacks. When the character equipped with this weapon is not on the field, Consummation's ATK increase is doubled. |
Calamity Queller has one of the highest Base ATK of any weapon in Genshin Impact, making it the ideal choice to maximize the buff Shenhe grants to her team. Additionally, it continuously buffs Shenhe's ATK and doubles the amount given when she’s off-field. However, when playing Shenhe with Calamity Queller, it’s important to build her Timepiece on Energy Recharge to make sure Shenhe can cast her Elemental Burst on each rotation.
