Genshin Impact Leak: Shenhe’s Re-run Still Missing in Version 5.2

Recent leaks indicate that Genshin Impact fans waiting for Shenhe’s re-run banner will be disappointed. Despite being a key Cryo support since her debut in Version 2.4, Shenhe won’t appear in the Version 5.2 update, according to the leaker hxg_diluc. This marks a long gap since her last appearance in Version 3.5. Fans of Cryo characters can look forward to Version 5.3, which promises the debut of Citlali, another Cryo character, along with the Pyro Archon Mavuika.

Shenhe’s absence has sparked discussions about HoYoverse’s future banner strategies, with players eagerly awaiting the next Cryo roster update. Although fans must wait longer for Shenhe, leaks suggest exciting new characters on the horizon.

Shenhe’s Impact in Genshin Teams

Shenhe remains a top-tier Cryo unit, especially for boosting powerful DPS characters like Ganyu and Ayaka. Her unique ability to enhance Cryo damage and reduce enemy resistance has made her highly valuable in specific team compositions. Without her re-run in sight, players will need to rethink their Cryo strategies or look to future characters for potential replacements.

What’s Next in Version 5.3?

Though Shenhe won’t be returning soon, the next update may bring Citlali, a highly-anticipated Cryo character, offering fresh opportunities for players to invest in Cryo-based teams. Citlali’s rumored introduction in Version 5.3 alongside the Pyro Archon Mavuika could balance the lack of Cryo characters in recent patches.
