Genshin Impact 2.4 Update: Why Shenhe’s Banner Cannot Be Missed By Avid Fans

The 2.4 update added a bunch of new content to Genshin Impact. Developers introduced a new region, Enkanomiya, new Archon quest, characters, and much more. With the launch of the new update, miHoYo also released two new characters to the game and both will play the role of a Support character.

Furthermore, several users claim that both new characters, Shenhe and Yun Jin, are great Support units. Shenhe is a five-star character and boosts party members’ Cryo elemental damage, whereas Yun Jin provides a buff to increase their normal attack damage.

Unfortunately, Shenhe’s banner is up against Xiao who is one of the best damage dealers in the game. Because of this, some users are ignoring Shenhe and skipping her banner. Continue reading to find if you really should pull for Shenhe.

Shenhe: best Cryo support character in Genshin Impact

Shenhe is the first five-star character that primarily focuses on boosting only one element. She helps the team by boosting their Cryo damage thanks to her kit. Moreover, players discovered that with her buff, Diona was able to deal triple damage to opponents even though she is a Support character just like Shenhe.

This means Cryo damage dealers can deal tremendous damage with the help of Shenhe’s kit. After using her elemental skill, everyone in the party, including herself, will get five or seven Icy Quills stacks. These stacks boost party members’ Cryo damage based on Shenhe’s base attack.

The best Cryo damage dealers in the game are Ganyu and Ayaka. Ganyu is a bow user, while Ayaka wields a sword. Interestingly, Ganyu can play the role of both the main damage dealer and Support character.

Furthermore, she is having her re-run banner after Shenhe’s banner. Therefore, it would be best for you to try your luck in Shenhe and later invest in Ganyu to build a powerful team. In case you already have Ganyu or Ayaka in your collection, then you should definitely invest in Shenhe’s banner.
