Team Strategy Notes

Shenhe only fits Cryo teams, and her best is Ayaka Freeze: Ayaka + Shenhe + Kazuha + Kokomi. Rotation: Kazuha E+Q (VV shred) -> Kokomi E (Hydro aura) -> Shenhe hold E -> Q -> Ayaka dash -> N2C -> Q. The hold version of her skill gives more Icy Quill stacks than the press version, so use hold whenever the rotation allows it. The F2P version swaps Kazuha for Sucrose and Kokomi for Diona.

Rotation Guide

E (hold) >> Q >> swap

The rotation matters more than raw stats for this team. Practice the order until it becomes muscle memory — the difference between a smooth rotation and a messy one can be 30-40% of team DPS. Key tips: always snapshot buffs before the main damage window, and don't waste energy by overcapping.
