Overview
Shenhe amplifies Cryo hits through a limited Icy Quill budget. Match her press or hold setup to the attacker, and account for faster quota consumption against multiple enemies.
Role
ATK-scaling Cryo damage support
Playstyle
Choose press or hold Skill for the upcoming damage types, then pass field time to the Cryo attacker.
Why It Works
Quill quotas are per character and can be consumed faster when one hit damages multiple enemies.
Watch For
Quills require Cryo damage; they are not a generic damage bonus for every teammate attack.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Tap or hold Skill for the intended carry → Burst → Cryo damage window → refresh Quills when available.
Key Notes
Quill quotas are separate for each character.
Multi-target Cryo hits consume quota faster.
Tap buffs Skill/Burst; hold buffs Normal/Charged/Plunging damage.
Burst resistance reduction requires enemies inside its field.

Icy Quill
When Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts deal Cryo DMG to opponents, the DMG dealt is increased based on Shenhe's current ATK.
The Icy Quill's effects will be cleared once its duration ends or after being triggered a certain number of times. When held rather than pressed, the Icy Quill's effect lasts longer and can be triggered more times.
When one Cryo DMG instance strikes multiple opponents, the effect is triggered multiple times based on the number of opponents hit. The number of times the effect is triggered is calculated independently for each party member with the Icy Quill.
