In this Genshin Impact character guide, we will talk about Shenhe’s lore, element, rarity, weapon, and other details. 

Shenhe Element and Weapon

Shenhe is a Cryo user and a Polearm wielder. She is the second Cryo user to use a Polearm as a weapon. Before Shenhe, Rosaria was the only Cryo user to wield a Polearm. 

What is Shenhe’s Rarity?

There is no official information on Shenhe’s rarity. Though, we do have reliable leaks that suggest Shenhe be a five-star unit.

Aesthetic-wise, Shenhe has the details of a five-star character. And, considering the fact that Genshin Impact leaks are hardly wrong, we can assume Shenhe to be a five-star character who will get her character event wish banner. 

In any case, we will update this article if the leaks are wrong. 

Who is Shenhe?

Shenhe is one of the students of the Adepti, Cloud Retainer. She comes from a branch family of a clan of exorcists. Seeing her white hair, you may say that Shenhe’s family is a branch of Chongyun’s clan. Though, that is yet to be confirmed. 

According to her lore, Shenhe was taken as a disciple by Cloud Retainer because of some unknown reason.

Both Shenhe and Cloud Retainer have a unique understanding of one another. 

To Shenhe, “the Cloud Retainer Cloud Retainer is a knowledgeable and chatty master.”

Meanwhile, Cloud Retainer has described Shenhe as “One has traversed many realms and taken a great many pupils. Among them, Shenhe bears the closest resemblance to oneself.”

That’s it for now. Make sure to check out our other coverage on the Genshin Impact version 2.3 update.
