Genshin Impactis known for releasing characters that have limited functionality at zero constellation. Afterward, the developer places their true potential in their constellations. So, is Shenhe one of those characters? Here’s an analysis osShenhe’s constellationsto help characters determine if they’re worth the Primogems.
Are Shenhe’s Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?
Shenhe is built to buff Cryo attacks, yet for some reason, she cannot offer that buff continuously. With noSacrificial Polearm available inGenshin Impact, Shenhe’s Elemental Skill doesn’t give reliable buffs at C0, where it’s limited to only five or seven hits. This restricting “feature” can only be abolished with Shenhe’s constellation.
C1 - Clarity of Heart
C1 Shenhe is exactly what she needs to be an acceptable Cryo buffer. She can now join her team rotations and keep them buffed with one more charge on her Elemental Skill. It isrecommended that players opt for Shenhe’s C1 if they want her to be reliable.
C2 - Centered Spirit
Shenhe’s second constellation increases her Elemental Burst duration from 12 seconds to 18. Considering her cooldown is 20 seconds, players can maintain almost 100% uptime on her Elemental Burst. This way, players willendlessly have extra 15% Cryo damage and 15% Cryo Crit damage.If players upgrade her talent to level 10, they will also reduce the enemy’s Cryo and Physical Resistance by 15%.
C4 - Insight
ConsideringShenhe is a Cryo Support, shedoesn’t really need the extra damageprovided by this constellation. This bonus can decently increase her Elemental Skill’s damage if Shenhe is equipped with damage build, but it’s not recommended as it will affect her supporting capabilities.
C6 - Mystical Abandon
C6 Shenhe becomes an amazing Cryo Support, completely losing the Icy Quills limitation when her team deals Cryo damage on their Normal and Charged Attacks. This buff canmassively enhance the potentials of characters like Ganyu and Ayaka.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
