Could Shenhe's C6 still be considered worth it?
I just want to start by saying that I absolutely love Shenhe-I'm very proud of her build and even bought her skin not too long ago when I pulled her last year. As much as I love Vodyanitsa and am happy to have her too, I'm pretty bummed about having to boot Shenhe off my Cryo DPS Qiqi team.
This might be a silly ask, but awhile ago I had plans to save and pull for Shenhe's C6 specifically for Qiqi (using her as a NA/CA DPS), and keeping in mind Qiqi's low multipliers, would getting Shenhe's C6 put her above or at least on par with my C2R1 Vodyanitsa?
My only extra benefit to using Vodyanitsa is that I can run Qiqi in a Freeze comp more easily, but I'm not necessarily against continuing to use her in a mono Cryo comp. And of course Vodyanitsa helps a bit further with 30% Cryo and Hydro RES shred and some extra Cryo DMG for 5 seconds at C2 (which was a big plus).
I thought it'd be best to ask here since there's so much Shenhe slander in the community nowadays-not that I'm necessarily looking for a biased answer, but I figured at least those here wouldn't immediately dismiss Shenhe's buffing capabilities.
My team with Shenhe consists of Qiqi (R1 Uraku Misugiri), C6 Chongyun (R5 Sacrificial Greatsword), C2R1 Escoffier, and C1 Shenhe (R5 Tamayuratei no Ohanashi) for those wondering.
If it's worth it I'll start saving for her now! Hoping to see her on a banner again during the next Lantern Rite to at least get her R1since I lost it last year🤞
(Sharing my beloved Shenhe build just for fun-she'll never be considered a "brick" to me 🥺)
