In Genshin Impact, do you want to give Shenhe the best tools you can find? We’ll take care of you.
Genshin Impact is fun to play if you have three things: a strong character, a great team, and a great choice of weapons. When playing as Shenhe, there aren’t that many weapons you can use, and getting each one relies on things like loot drops, upgrades, and even game passes.
There are, however, weapons for Shenhe with strong base attack stats that range from three stars all the way up to five stars. Each of these weapons has its own benefits (like recharging energy) and bonuses for her and her team. Let’s look at a few of the best ones.
The Halberd – Three Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 3 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 40 – 448 | |||
Second Stats | |||
ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 5.1% – 23.4% |
The Halberd is a three-star Polearm weapon. It is simple and common, but Shenhe can use it to his advantage. The Halberd is the best three-star weapon in Genshin Impact because its substat is Attack and its standard attack does 160 percent more damage every ten seconds because of it.
This makes it a good replacement for better guns, especially ones that are hard to get.
The Favonius Lance – Four Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 4 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 44 – 565 | |||
Second Stats | |||
Energy Recharge (Lv. 1 – 90) 6.7% – 30.6% |
The Favonius Lance is one of the four-star weapons with the lowest attack number, but it can be used as a bank to help your team when they are low on Energy Recharge. The critical hits also have a 60% chance of making Elemental Particles, which can be used to get your team’s Elemental Burst back faster.
The Favonius Lance does have a higher Base Attack than the Catch, which is one of the weapons that players often suggest for Shenhe.
The Lithic Spear – Four Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 4 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 44 – 565 | |||
Second Stats | |||
ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 6% – 27.6% |
This Polearm is a four-star weapon, and its base attack ranges from 44 to 565, based on Shenhe’s stats and other factors. The Lithic Spear’s secondary stat can boost Attacks by anywhere from 6% to 27%, so putting together a good team for Shenhe will only help her do more damage with this weapon.
It will also give everyone on your team from the Liyue region an attack bonus of 3% and a weapon gain of 7%. This bonus can be stacked up to four times.
The Wavebreaker’s Fin – Four Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 4 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 45 – 620 | |||
Second Stats | |||
ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 3% – 13.8% |
This was another four-star weapon that was only available through Wish. So, it is harder to get, but well worth the trouble. At level 90, its Base Attack can go up to 620, and it has a passive ability that increases the damage of its Elemental Burst by a factor based on how much energy Shenhe’s whole team has.
This means that the more powerful your team is, the more your Burst damage will go up, making the Wavebreaker’s Fin very useful. Even though this tool is hard to find, you won’t regret adding it to your arsenal.
The Deathmatch – Four Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 4 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 41 – 454 | |||
Second Stats | |||
CRIT Rate (Lv. 1 – 90) 8% – 36.8% |
The Deathmatch is a four-star Polearm that can be used as an alternative weapon for Shenhe. It was offered in the Premium Battle Pass and has perks that live up to its name. If you are fighting close to two or more opponents, your attack and protection stats will go up by 16 percent.
If there is only one opponent close, you get a 24 percent Attack boost instead. Even if Shenhe isn’t on the battlefield, the buffs she gives to her friends will still work.
The Blackcliff Pole – Four Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 4 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 42 – 510 | |||
Second Stats | |||
CRIT DMG (Lv. 1 – 90) 12% – 55.1% |
You’ll have to go through Paimon’s Bargains to get the Blackcliff Pole, a four-star Polearm that boosts Shenhe’s Base Attack by anywhere from 42 to 510 points, depending on her level. It’s much easier to get than the Deathmatch, and because its stats are close to those of the Deathmatch, many players choose either it or the Blackcliff Pole.
With this weapon, crit damage will also go up by between 12.5% and 55.1%. Lastly, Shenhe’s Attack gets a 12% boost every time he beats an opponent on the battlefield.
The Catch – Four Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 4 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 42 – 510 | |||
Second Stats | |||
Energy Recharge (Lv. 1 – 90) 10% – 45.9% |
This four-star Polearm looks like a trident and is different from the other weapons suggested for Shenhe because of its shape. It gives you the Shanty skill, which boosts Burst damage by 16% and critical hits by 6%. Players often tell each other to use The Catch with Shenhe and other characters because it’s easy to get and use (it’s free).
It also has a secondary stat called “Energy Recharge,” which helps keep its power up in fight.
The Vortex Vanquisher – Five Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 5 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 46 – 608 | |||
Second Stats | |||
ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 10.8% – 49.6% |
This is another Polearm weapon, and it is a five-star one. It has a bonus to attack, a Base Attack of 46, a secondary attack that adds 10.8%, and it makes your shield strength 20% better. When you hit an enemy correctly, Shenhe’s attack goes up by 4% for eight seconds. This can happen up to five times during a fight.
So long as a shield is protecting Shenhe, her Attack bonus will go up by 100%. You shouldn’t miss out on the Vortex Vanquisher.
The Skyward Spine – Five Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 5 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 48 – 674 | |||
Second Stats | |||
Energy Recharge (Lv. 1 – 90) 8% – 36.8% |
This five-star weapon will make Shenhe’s regular Attack speed 12% faster and her chance of getting a critical hit by 8%. You’ll also notice that Shenhe’s Normal Attacks and Charged Attacks will have a 50% chance to use Vacuum Blade if they hit an enemy target.
When this happens, it will do 40 percent of the Attack damage in a small area. The Skyward Spine is a powerful tool that makes Shenhe even better at fighting.
The Primordial Jade Winged-Spear – Five Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 5 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 48 – 674 | |||
Second Stats | |||
CRIT Rate (Lv. 1 – 90) 4.8% – 22.1% |
If you can’t get the Skyward Spine, the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear is a great alternative that also has five stars. Depending on Shenhe’s level in Flappy Bird game, its total Base Attack increase will be between 48 and 674, and its Crit Rate increase will be between 4.8 and 22.1 percent. This means you could max her out and add the extra 22.1% to make her the most powerful power hitter ever.
When Shenhe hits an enemy, her Attack goes up by 3.2% for six seconds. This can stack up to seven times, and once you have seven stacks, her power will go up by 12%.
The Engulfing Lightning – Five Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 5 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 46 – 608 | |||
Second Stats | |||
Energy Recharge (Lv. 1 – 90) 12% – 55.1% |
This five-star Polearm has a base attack between 46 and 608. It is a great choice for characters like Shenhe who have strong elemental bursts. It gives a bonus of 12% to 55.1% to Energy Recharge, which helps you recover from hits so you can do more damage.
Its passive special ability is called “Timeless Dream: Eternal Stove,” and when it is used, it makes Shenhe’s Attack power higher. If you use her “Elemental Burst,” the “Engulfing Lightning” will also give her an extra “Energy Recharge” for the next 12 seconds. This means she won’t be able to do anything for as long or her weapons will do less damage.
The Dragonspine Spear – Five Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 4 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 41 – 454 | |||
Second Stats | |||
Physical DMG Bonus (Lv. 1 – 90) 15% – 69% |
The Dragonspine Spear works best with a Cryo-user and has the most boosts with Cryo perks. If you use Shenhe in an all-Cryo team, everyone and this Polearm will work at their best. You can make it yourself, which makes it pretty easy to get. Depending on Shenhe’s level, it gives a 41–454 Base Attack bonus.
Whenever her Normal Attack or Charged Attack hits a target, there is a 60% chance that it will turn into an Everfrost Icicle. This will deal 80% Attack damage to an area of effect, and anyone hit by Cryo will take 200% Attack damage. This means that putting Shenhe on a team of only Cryos will be a quick and easy way to win.
The Calamity Queller – Five Star
Weapon Type | Polearm | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 5 Star | ||
Base Stats | |||
Base ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 49 – 741 | |||
Second Stats | |||
ATK (Lv. 1 – 90) 3.6% – 16.5% |
The weapon is made of crystal, and it came out at the same time as Shenhe, which suggests that the two were made to go together. The Calamity Queller comes up again and again as a good choice for Shenhe.
With bonus Attack boosts between 3.6% and 16.5% and Base Attacks between 49 and 741, this five-star Polearm will make Shenhe better in any kind of team. With the passive ability in “Extinguishing Precept,” it will make all of your team’s elemental damage go up, which is a great improvement.
