5 Star Characters

• Kamisato Ayaka – Shenhe buffs the team’s Cryo damage, which helps Ayaka a lot. Additionally, having both of them on the team activates Shattering Ice Resonance.
• Ganyu – similar to Ayaka, Shenhe buffs Ganyu, increasing the damage of her charged attacks and Elemental Burst.
• Kaedehara Kazuha – Swirl reaction allows Cryo to spread to an entire group of enemies. In addition to the additional damage and status effect, set Viridescent Venerer additionally reduces the Elemental RES of enemies affected by the Swirl. Having an Anemo character along with Shenhe greatly increases the damage of the team, however if you don’t have Kazuha you can use Venti, Jean or Sucrose.
• Mona – will apply the Wet status, which will create a strong Freeze team. Her Elemental skill will also group up enemies, making it easier for Main DPS to deal damage.
• Sangonomiya Kokomi – similarly to Mona, Kokomi will take an additional Healer spot on the team, allowing for another Sub DPS.

4 Star Characters

• Chongyun – in the absence of 5-Star Cryo Main DPS, Shenhe would be a good Sub DPS for Chongyun.
• Rosaria – has a strong off-field burst, which is significantly increased thanks to Shenhe.
• Sucrose – good replacement for Anemo character slot for activating Swirl Reaction. It will also grant additional Elemental Mastery and Crowd Control.
• Xiangling – one of the best Sub DPS Genshin Impact characters for any Melt/Freeze comp.
• Bennett – perfect Healer/Support with healing, buffs and Pyro for Melt reaction.

To sum up, Shenhe is mainly used as Sub-DPS Genshin Impact character with strong enhancement of other all Cryo attacks. That is why you should pick a good Cryo main DPS to make a perfect match for Shenhe. Other characters are good supports or elemental reactions activators.
