Cryo Character Comparison
Shenhe vs Rosaria
Shenhe provides a much larger raw Cryo buff through Icy Quills, but only in Cryo teams and only when hits are few and large. Rosaria shares CRIT Rate, deals her own damage, and works in more team types.

🎯 Verdict
At high investment with Ayaka or Ganyu, Shenhe is clearly stronger. At low investment, or if you need CRIT Rate and a battery, Rosaria is the better value — she is also a 4-star, which makes her far cheaper to build.
