You might think Aloy seems suited to PlayStation only, what with the Strong Strike skill for her bow Predator only working for those on PSN, but you’d be missing out. Predator’s Strong Strike skill may boost Aloy’s attack, but the conditions are ill-suited to her cooldown time, while the buff to normal attack damage is quite sm


**Updated March 18, 2022, by Kyle Gorges: ** Now that players have had a while to learn the ins and outs of Shenhe's gameplay, it's safe to say that she can be a valuable addition to Cryo-based teams. As a powerful buffer for characters like Ayaka, Ganyu, and Chongyun, Shenhe will likely see use as a companion for future Cryo characters as well. This guide has been updated to make sure she can continue supporting your teams until she has as many friends as she deserves (which might take a whi


If this is the case, Paimon is a small, more innocent version of the Unknown God we saw at the start. The two characters could be entirely unrelated , but there's enough cause for suspicion if you dig into the lore m


When Shenhe uses her Skill to generate Icy Quills, these Icy Quills will buff your party's Cryo DMG based on Shenhe's ATK. For this reason, you'll want to get Shenhe's ATK stat as high as possible to boost your team's damage by the greatest amo


Although Shenhe's Burst is arguably less integral to her performance than her Skill, you'll still want to be able to use it as soon as it comes off cooldown. Unfortunately, her Burst is pretty expensive at an Energy cost of 80. This is where Favonius Lance comes in, a fairly common four-star drop that can help Shenhe recharge her Burst. It provides adequate Base ATK, an Energy Recharge secondary stat, and a passive ability that gives her extra Elemental Particles when she Crits. These particles can also be passed along to your DPS carry, like Ayaka , but Shenhe can utilize them just as well to maintain uptime on her Bu


Paimon is found by the Traveler two months before the start of the game, when they accidentally fish her out of the water. She explains this during the intro cutscene, where we see the Traveler and Paimon hanging out on a be

For all we know, the Traveler and their twin were breaking laws with all this world-hopping, maybe doing damage to the heavenly principles of the entire universe, and the Unknown God is just trying to stop some destruction from befalling t


Ayaka is perfectly suited for Freeze compositions thanks to her 100 percent Cryo DMG uptime, but she needs to be paired with a Hydro character in order to cause the Elemental Reaction. Kokomi works great for AoE Hydro application and healing, Xingqiu offers high single-target damage, Mona can boost Ayaka’s own damage through her Omen debuff, and even Barbara’s Skill can reliably Freeze enemies when Ayaka dashes into them. Pick whichever Hydro support you enjoy the most, and enjoy ushering in a new Ice


Shenhe's C6 also sounds especially enticing, allowing Normal and Charged Attacks buffed by Shenhe's Icy Quills to NOT consume the Icy Quills when triggered. On paper, this sounds like infinite buffs for Ayaka or Ganyu as long as you don't use their Skill or Burst . In practice, this is kind of true, but the Constellation doesn't remove the duration limit on the Icy Quills. Even though Normal and Charged Attacks won't consume them, then, they will still only last for 10/15s. This is, of course, a very long time and can be extended each time Shenhe uses her Skill, but it is a small caveat worth noting if you plan on getting her


Inazuma introduced a number of clever Electro puzzles and exploration mechanics, including the Electrograna, and there’s any number of possibilities for what Snezhnaya might have in store. Whatever it is, you’ll probably need to stock up on Goulash – and hopefully other cold-protecting reci


Snezhnaya means "snowy" in Russian, which is perhaps unsurprising given it’s the Cryo Archon’s abode. If the examples of Inazuma and Liyue are anything to go by, it means we’ll have plenty of ice-themed puzzles to solve and challenges to contend with in Snezhn


Shenhe's buffs are transferred to other characters via the Icy Quills generated by her Skill. As a result, her Skill should be your priority when leveling up Shenhe's Talents . Level up her Burst next , and only increase her Normal Attacks if you plan to use Shenhe as an on-field DPS character . Leveling up her Normal Attacks and pairing her with Chongyun to turn her into a Cryo hypercarry can be a lot of fun, but this is a pretty specialized setup that most Shenhe players won't opt


Shenhe's Artifact substats should also be focused on ATK% and Energy Recharge . Since Shenhe's damage largely manifests click through the following web site the Cryo attacks of others, you don't need to worry too much about her Crit ratio, but still try to increase it if possi
