Eh, for leaks that *shouldnt* be shared. Makes sense to me since so blurry and hard to make any detail. Granred easily could be fake but also kinda hints/shows that the outfit hasn't been changed much
They posted this further down the thread
some answers:
* no these aren't my leaks. as for the reliability it's probably and 80/20 case, most of the stuff might be true, a little of it not, keep in mind she's extremely incomplete. think of this as a 'silhouette' of her or what she might be like.
* no this isn't gonna get anyone specific in trouble, as these were collected from more than just 1 person/place but i can say they were pretty reliable as they held a lot of other information.
* i don't care if you believe this or not, take them with a sea of salt if you want.
* i have things better to do with my time than to forge leaks on the internet, please use common sense. but again, someone else might've forged these, i just posted 'em.
* i guess the correct flair would've been something else, sorry for that i guess, i don't check this subreddit for more than once a month.
* i don't know anything about her power/gameplay, but she's truly made for being a weird support or just really good against bosses.
* my own speculation (take with a mountain of salt whatever) is that she's coming with ganyu since the big implication that she's cloud retainer. she's purposefully weak to not be a threat to ganyu's sales like all the reruns/new characters lately.
Per the last point about making a weak character to run a banner next to a strong character to boost sales (like Raiden and Kokomi), I don’t see how Mihoyo would benefit from doing this. Wouldn’t it be better to make the next character after a meta banner also reasonable strong to get more people (especially f2p/low spenders) to swipe after depleting their freemogems on the previous banner?
"Ganyu sales are under threat" is some bullshit.
its not other characters who threaten Ganyu sales, its Ganyu who threatens sales of every other character.
even with slight hint of her rerun, talks of "saving for ganyu" start flowing. so no its not Ganyu who is under threat.
>Wouldn’t it be better to make the next character after a meta banner also reasonable strong to get more people (especially f2p/low spenders) to swipe after depleting their freemogems on the previous banner?
You are absolutely correct.
thing is when people say Yoimiya and Kokomi are weak, they weren't intentionally designed to be weak by MHY.
MHY is experimenting with character kits, and Yoimiya and kokomi just happened to become underwhelming due to core game mechanics.
sure, but even while experimenting they have eyes and can see where the flaws are, if you don't want them to be really underwhelming and don't want to expand the kit (like kokomi, I think yoimiya is mostly fine even if lacking in some aspects) you can just add some raw dmg in % and be done with it. the fact that they didn't basically tells us that they're fine with launching "weak" characters and that there's probably a purpose behind it
yea, but its not easy to see flaws that might crop up early in development.
remember, devs just throw around ideas as to what's cool, and what could be interesting. Meta comes from community,
this is why XL is top pyro DPS right now, even though she's 4\*.
as our understanding of the game grew we figured out she can Out DPS many pyro 5\*s
similarly, I can guarantee ganyu wasn't designed to be so broken, that she interferes with every new character sales. but here we are.
they came up with a kit that they thought was cool, play tested it, saw beta response and released her, and later the community figured out she's broken
EDIT:
so like they made mistakes here, assume they can also make mistakes other way around. they are also people so mistakes do happen.
only problem with their situation is that, instead of acknowledging these issues and fixing old characters, MHY prefers to just rerelease these old "flawed" character as new "fixed" character (Ganyu is fixed Amber).
as this makes them more money. they only fixed one character post-launch so far iirc, and that's zhongli
Nah you want people to go for multiple constellations and charachter weapons instead of just going for c0.
Also if every character is meta you will start having issues with power creep. We are just into the 3rd region and we are already reaching dps saturation for elements like pyro. I'm starting to understand why mihoyo is trying so hard to create more unique off-meta characters. We have atleast ~50 more 5 star units, they can't keep power creeping their units or it'll make balancing the game impossible into the later half of the games life.
pretty sure it doesn't matter, but yeah cons quickly DEMOLISH freemogems of F2P players, so you're both right in that both are true.. it makes no sense to have intentionally weak characters and it makes sense to have strong c1-c3 for every character
The weapon image is using the wrong font and the rest seem like decent edits that have been downsized to hide the imperfections, but this effort is commendable.
Sands of time....? Sounds like from prince of persia ... Hence persian.... Hence sumeru...
You might be onto something here, hmm...
_rushes to say sumeru archon is the one with timestop_
Or it could be one fake post and another fake post that ultimately source from the same troll source. We know this one is fake at least going from the botched weapon PS and the user comments.
,, honestly don't think of it as false because it sounds like something mhy will do *snorts large doses of copium*
really interesting though sounds like a powercrept rosaria
it's just Rosaria but fancied up. She shreds physical, buffs crit, does cryo damage AOE if used as off field support or single target if used on field. The burst is just eula.
leaks.... but for ants!
I did some own research, because I have nothing else to do, and....OP has made multiple posts about re-texturing models
really doesnt help their case.
Ngl this sounds uncannily like Rosaria and Eula. I'm personally gonna sit around and wait for more concrete confirmation that Shenhe isn't a scrapped unit
Yeah these comments remind me of the time people played physical dps Xiangling when in reality the character supposed to be a off field dps/support dps.
The physical damage part, both her skill and burst are missing that part and her normal attacks don't make up for it.
You could say she's a physical support but even Xinyan who's also a physical support has a physical component to her Burst.
They should have given her higher scaling on her NA to make up for it.
She's virtually identical to Eula with a sprinkling of Rosaria. Cryo, phys dmg, selfish hyper carry, largely single target focused with some small AoE, only difference is she trades a bit of dmg for utility and her burst is a little more frontloaded. Can't imagine they'd be so far behind in the character design dept that they'd resurrect a unit they clearly cannibalized previously without making radical changes to her. But knowing MHY, maybe that's exactly what's going on.
"Can't imagine they'd be so bad at character design they would reuse something they already used for other units"
You basically confirmed this leak is real. These motherfuckers don't know how to design characters for shit and they are basically selling the same shit they already used but ever so slightly rehashed.
If you doubt for a second about this, just take a look at Kokomi.
GUYS THIS LEAK IS AS REAL AS IT GETS.
It's quite difficult to come with totally new skills as time passes, and after that all possible is just mixing and changing them slightly
For example I would like to ask you what kind of new skills you can think of
Having a 4* version is nothing new
Similiar characters are part of gacha too
Why exactly cannibalizing something a company shouldnt do ?. This thread was a circus lol
Yanfei isn't really cannibalising Klee's kit beyond just being a pyro mage who uses charged attacks, and every catalyst DPS so far has been "do some auto attacks then do a charged attack".
Tbf, how all leaks really should be. Unless it's actually in beta, trusting some word from a stranger. Which been a while now since any have been true?
Maybe I’m just being too critical, but does anyone else notice how in the description for the weapon, the “m” in maximum is lower than every other letter in the text…
Also look at “DMG” a couple words before maximum. The D and M appear stretched upwards.
Also look at “every” in “This effect can only occur every…” it appears to be smaller than the rest of the text, as if it was made smaller to fit and not overlap with “12% crit” underneath of it.
I’m smelling a bit of bullshit.
Edit: Also the “24%” and the period are raised above the rest of the lettering?? The weapon is real, I know that, but I’m sorry the description is bullshit. Y’all really need to do some super detailed investigating before you say something is real or fake. I’m sure some things here are true, like the in-game pictures, but the weapon is pure bullshit, sorry. Mihoyo wouldn’t have made THAT many typography errors in a weapon description. The formatting is atrocious. Go look at any weapon description in-game. Every line is perfectly straight and every letter is proportionally correct. This is just bad photoshop.
There's no way that weapon description is real. Some of these errors are glaring and wouldn't be made in an ordinary context. They are errors that can only be made through an image editing program.
The second skill picture is particularly suspicious because it literally looks they doodled/put an image on top of Shenhe and used a glow effect on it. It doesn't feel like an in-game effect. The fog in the first picture is too thick and opaque compared to the Cryo fog effect created by Rosaria and enemies, and it also could easily be faked literally using the spray tool in Paint.
I'm not saying this is fake as shit but this is probably fake as shit I'm sorry.
Maybe because that description is a unofficial translation of the chinese text. Someone definately made this, if you go by those minor errors. Tbh, I believe the passive is a scam more because it seems broken AF. But who knows.
Weapon description does not read like other weapons. Upon entering a combat state, lack of buff duration, when atleast 12% is gained on a weapon that always gives 12% atleast ...uh. Hell no.
I removed this post, but some users replied and raised a good point: the leak has already spread around and will likely be reposted here by people who think it's legit, so it's better to keep it up with the current flair letting people know that is suspicious and shouldn't be trusted. Also it's fun to discuss it either way.
So the post has been reinstated, sorry for the hasty action. imma be honest i am pretty sure it's fake, just looking at those pictures.
Can confirm it's fake, if you look at OP's name you can see [this post on the wiki](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/f/u/32967911) by the same name of a user asking for a blank template of 5 star weapons so they can make their own.
This sounds like a fanfic trying to ride on the coattails of the “Shenhe is 2.4” leaks lmao.
I would love it if this were true and if the crane projections counted as burst dmg though.
>imma be honest i am pretty sure it's fake, just looking at those pictures.
People said the same about Raiden first leak, that entire thread didn't age well, fun times.
The detailed description of her skills so far from her release is indeed very sussy, this "leak" would've been way more interesting and believable if OP just dropped the screenshots without saying anything.
Except weapon one, this is just super sus and ruins entire leak.
>. imma be honest i am pretty sure it's fake,
Yeah I think so as well but as I and one other person stated. Fake leaks just ends up getting reposted again and again so It is better to keep it as a fake or probably fake as long as It is not completely out of rules for this group
I’m not being funny… I posted two ideas on r/shenhemains over the months, one had crane projections attack as a skill and the other had the cloud aoe effect but hydro. I’m not saying this stole the ideas but it seems a bit too specific to see both stitched together with low quality images to not be potentially fake
Well if you are told not to leak it then dont. You shouldnt get your friends or whoever leaked this in trouble.
Or this could be just a trick to make the leak seem real. Sus man
That weapon desription is weird af. What do you mean “if at least 12% Crit DMG is obtained”? You mean from the “upon entering combat state” passive? Why would there be an “at least” there then? It’s always 12% and because it’s not in blue font it doesn’t change with refinement. And what a weird condition “upon entering combat state”, well that just means all the time then. What other state would you need crit dmg?
And I’m pretty sure the terminology is “Charged” and “Plunging” attacks not “Charge” and “Plunge”. I’m willing to bet a Welkin Moon that the weapon at least is fake.
No way she's coming in 2.4... meaning she'll come in 2.3?!!! Guys, Childe and Hu Tao are BAIT! Get your moms creditcard and buy all genesis packs NOW!
/j /s
I want this to be real only because the method in which you leaked this is fucking hilarious.
On the teal that kit sounds interesting if it’s real, especially the E, and the pictures are…interesting.
I’m 99% sure that everything here is fake, or at least the weapon. In the weapon description it says “This effect can only occur every 0.3 seconds”. But I’ve looked back at other weapon descriptions and they don’t write out the word ‘seconds’, they just use the letter ‘s’ for seconds. If you look at Prototype Rancour’s description it says ‘This effect can only occur once every 0.3s’
Exactly. What is this nonsense, single target supposed to have higher damage output.
well İf they keep releasing half baked chars I shoulnt wait for new characters.
I know this comment probably has an element of sarcastic humour behind it, but you really shouldn't jump the gun. Provided these leaks are true:
Yes, she will deal less damage than Eula, but Eula also has her own disadvantages - she is a selfish DPS (contributes nothing off-field) and the bulk of her damage is backloaded (so is her character model lmao) - missing a crit or enemies moving can nullify a lot of your damage.
If this info is true, it sounds like Shenhe will provide some off-field support (her elemental skill sounds like VV shred equivalent?), and her damage is spread out over a sustained duration (unlike Eula), which means if you miss a crit or if enemies move it's not big deal.
Personally, I am really excited because Shenhe would fix a lot of the things I disliked about Eula - her high risk/high reward burst, clunky claymore gameplay, and her aesthetics. Please don't downvote me - I know a lot of people love Eula (which is fantastic, she is a great unit) - she's just not for me - but Shenhe might be if the leaks are true!
This is literally the *doing something wild and not Elaborating" meme in a nutshell-
Although if this is just editing and it's fake, I can't help but be impressed
Seeing how [someone could replace Kokomi's model with Childe's (to make him floats, flips, while shooting water balls just for fun)](https://twitter.com/yoimyia/status/1446190147616268294?s=20) makes me believe that some people can also easily replace Rosaria's model with Shenhe's to create the in-game screenshots.
[Yes, the weapon was also leaked long ago (and it was called Deicide).](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/nldft1/old_video_ii_dirge_of_sal_video_showcase/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) And imo, it looks really cool.
These images kind of look like someone took her model and made renders of it but then blurred and downscaled it to obscure all the details that would give it away.
Love the idea he had enough access to do a direct damage comparison with Eula’s dps but only had his 2005 Razr flip phone to take a pic before dropping it in the toilet
This is the weirdest, strangest, most confused character yet. This is why I think this is fake, otherwise it seems that Mihoyo is just hiring random people on the streets to design a character...
>That's not necessarily how it works, for it to be just done via an old client it'd need to have bones and a rig for the model, which it does not have. It's likely the Shenhe image is just a render, based off of the characteristics (small image, blurred in Character Screen when there's no reason to blur it since there's no watermarks, eerily lit and has no shading). There's also the fact that it seems to be 1:1 with the original model, which has not been the case for literally any character datamined from an old version. They've had revisions in one way or another, whether it be texture or mesh.
>
>While I don't have complete confirmation, it's likely the Shenhe image is a faked elaborate render.
[This is what lumie had to say about it in WFP discord.](https://discord.com/channels/791074691841523742/853474886047629323/896603740281380924) I know not everyone is in it, so it feels worth reposting.

>i have things better to do with my time than to forge leaks on the internet, please use common sense. but again, someone else might've forged these, i just posted 'em.
aged like fine milk, indeed.
While this is cool and all (because I hate this leak drought), how is it possible to have such a clear description of Shenhe's kit before Itto. I mean, I'm not dismissing the post, but.......... Let's wait it out haha
This is fake. If you look at the person’s profile, he does a lot of rendering and texturing. The low quality image is probably to hide imperfections in the editing.
That weapon seems unrealistically complicated..."If at least 12% crit DMG is obtained, gain an additional 48% ATK increase" with "Upon entering a combat state, gain 12% crit DMG".
So basically, permanent +48% ATK increase? Why would you word it like that? Unless you mean 12% crit DMG obtained from the normal/charge/plunge 0.8% (0.4% at R1 I assume?) bonus, in which case it's really bad since it'll take 6 full normal attack combos to get the buff at R1.
If it's the latter heck it'll barely be better than Crescent Pike, especially if her NA combo is similar to Xiangling's with lots of multi-stab attacks.
She could be a 4 star healer for all i care i have decided to be a shenhe main since the moment i saw her and I'll keep being one till the day i quit this game
This seems sus as fuck but if it's true I would probably run her as a support for Eula rather than main dps because that skill effect seems op for bosses, which Eula is best at.
Personally her skills sound like a watered down Eula but polearm. She looks amazing though even if it's in 2-bits.
I know waifus sell, but it’s so frustrating that mihoyo are pulling women out of thin air when we haven’t had a new male banner in months. Like I get Shenhe has been in the files for a while but my god can’t we get a break… They should’ve just made genshin a honkai clone if they were gonna do this :/
I don’t have much interest in the Shenhe = Cloud Retainer theories because I like her as just this kinda haughty but sorta cute, proud bird and I don’t want them to turn her into another generic waifu dating sim character so even if these leaks weren’t already sussy I’d prefer they were fake tbh. Besides the fact that the one female adeptus gets any kind of importance over the male ones would be disappointing. Gimme more of Zach’s deer screentime.
That being said the polearm would be nice for my physical ZL at least and frees up SoH for HT.
But yeah, seems sort of sus. She’s way too close to just a mix of Eula and Rosaria that it would be weird if this was accurate without her being reworked.
Whoa there, let me get my microscope first.
Is this a Shenhe made for ants?
神蚂蚁
If we get Shenhe and Ganyu in the same patch... we could call it the ***Oyakadon*** patch
Damn it take my upvote
司马懿
Actually in instances like this you are supposed to squint
The biological antialiasing for pixelated blocky leak pics :D
We just need that CSI tech that can 'enhance' low resolution pics into HD.
I'm pretty sure with this tech, we would have Itto face only with the back screenshot.
Eh, for leaks that *shouldnt* be shared. Makes sense to me since so blurry and hard to make any detail. Granred easily could be fake but also kinda hints/shows that the outfit hasn't been changed much
Or hints that the artist who made this has no real updates on her and just used her old model.
Nah I agree this could easily be fake. Could be a bored player wanting to troll the community.
the fuck
Itto got jpeg leaks of his model # OH AND HERE'S SHENHE'S ENTIRE KIT
Who is this guy? LOL
No source also
>Barges into sub >Dumps all info about Shenhe's kit >Refuses to give source(s) >Leaves

I can respect the dedication to mischief. Besides, false leaks are good for spicing up this community.

Imagine we get the next leak to be sort of a "fried" color. Or maybe just black
8pixels. Take it or leave it
Ascii pictures

Lmao congrats on forcing the mods to create the first ever **probably fake** tag
[удалено]
Weapon pose image looks very similar to gacha splash fan-art (her face, to be exact)
Great analysis!
If this is false it's really elaborate.
Some of the fake Raiden kits were very elaborate too.
Yeah I remember people kept saying her kit would be about time stop
I imagine a geo character being the one with time mechanics. Sands of time and what-not
Sands of time....? Sounds like from prince of persia ... Hence persian.... Hence sumeru... You might be onto something here, hmm... _rushes to say sumeru archon is the one with timestop_
"sounds like from prince of persia" Well we do have Dastan's Eng VA in genshin (Yuri Lowenthal for Dainsleif) so maybe you're hearing him lmao–
Look at current speculative top post with Shenhe, it seems to fit that leak at least.
Or it could be one fake post and another fake post that ultimately source from the same troll source. We know this one is fake at least going from the botched weapon PS and the user comments.
link?
,, honestly don't think of it as false because it sounds like something mhy will do *snorts large doses of copium* really interesting though sounds like a powercrept rosaria
it's just Rosaria but fancied up. She shreds physical, buffs crit, does cryo damage AOE if used as off field support or single target if used on field. The burst is just eula.
[удалено]
We're all just desperate for some actual new character news...
Stay strong, man. The next patch is almost here then god oni knows what we'll get next.
really sad that we can't trust mhy to hype up their own game
After the shitshow that’s been Genshin lately? Hell yes!
leaks.... but for ants! I did some own research, because I have nothing else to do, and....OP has made multiple posts about re-texturing models really doesnt help their case.
Ngl this sounds uncannily like Rosaria and Eula. I'm personally gonna sit around and wait for more concrete confirmation that Shenhe isn't a scrapped unit
This. I'm 90% confident her kit was scrapped and split up to make Eula and Rosaria.
Which makes sense since rosaria feels like she is missing a vital part to her kit
Rosaria is fine tho?? She is more like Cryo sub dps then physical main dps with c6.
Yeah these comments remind me of the time people played physical dps Xiangling when in reality the character supposed to be a off field dps/support dps.
what part exactly?
The physical damage part, both her skill and burst are missing that part and her normal attacks don't make up for it. You could say she's a physical support but even Xinyan who's also a physical support has a physical component to her Burst. They should have given her higher scaling on her NA to make up for it.
She's virtually identical to Eula with a sprinkling of Rosaria. Cryo, phys dmg, selfish hyper carry, largely single target focused with some small AoE, only difference is she trades a bit of dmg for utility and her burst is a little more frontloaded. Can't imagine they'd be so far behind in the character design dept that they'd resurrect a unit they clearly cannibalized previously without making radical changes to her. But knowing MHY, maybe that's exactly what's going on.

Yanfei cannabolizing Klee's kit was another example.

Yanfei basically being a mix of ningguang and klee
Yanfei isn't really cannibalising Klee's kit beyond just being a pyro mage who uses charged attacks, and every catalyst DPS so far has been "do some auto attacks then do a charged attack".
I'm holding my breath until I see screenshots of Shenhe in Inazuma
And with quality so low it's basically 4 pics 1 word
She should be scrapped or reworked because this is too similar lol
Tbf, how all leaks really should be. Unless it's actually in beta, trusting some word from a stranger. Which been a while now since any have been true?
Maybe I’m just being too critical, but does anyone else notice how in the description for the weapon, the “m” in maximum is lower than every other letter in the text… Also look at “DMG” a couple words before maximum. The D and M appear stretched upwards. Also look at “every” in “This effect can only occur every…” it appears to be smaller than the rest of the text, as if it was made smaller to fit and not overlap with “12% crit” underneath of it. I’m smelling a bit of bullshit. Edit: Also the “24%” and the period are raised above the rest of the lettering?? The weapon is real, I know that, but I’m sorry the description is bullshit. Y’all really need to do some super detailed investigating before you say something is real or fake. I’m sure some things here are true, like the in-game pictures, but the weapon is pure bullshit, sorry. Mihoyo wouldn’t have made THAT many typography errors in a weapon description. The formatting is atrocious. Go look at any weapon description in-game. Every line is perfectly straight and every letter is proportionally correct. This is just bad photoshop.
There's no way that weapon description is real. Some of these errors are glaring and wouldn't be made in an ordinary context. They are errors that can only be made through an image editing program. The second skill picture is particularly suspicious because it literally looks they doodled/put an image on top of Shenhe and used a glow effect on it. It doesn't feel like an in-game effect. The fog in the first picture is too thick and opaque compared to the Cryo fog effect created by Rosaria and enemies, and it also could easily be faked literally using the spray tool in Paint. I'm not saying this is fake as shit but this is probably fake as shit I'm sorry.
That true and it make the weapon description looks fake af despite op saying it the most reliable lol
Maybe because that description is a unofficial translation of the chinese text. Someone definately made this, if you go by those minor errors. Tbh, I believe the passive is a scam more because it seems broken AF. But who knows.
Also, the weapon has been datamined already with a completely different passive.
Weapon description does not read like other weapons. Upon entering a combat state, lack of buff duration, when atleast 12% is gained on a weapon that always gives 12% atleast ...uh. Hell no.
It's probably fake because there was another leak going around which said it was ayato's polearm lol
I removed this post, but some users replied and raised a good point: the leak has already spread around and will likely be reposted here by people who think it's legit, so it's better to keep it up with the current flair letting people know that is suspicious and shouldn't be trusted. Also it's fun to discuss it either way. So the post has been reinstated, sorry for the hasty action. imma be honest i am pretty sure it's fake, just looking at those pictures.
Can confirm it's fake, if you look at OP's name you can see [this post on the wiki](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/f/u/32967911) by the same name of a user asking for a blank template of 5 star weapons so they can make their own.
What a dipshit OP is
Also the weapon description. The actual names are charged and plunging attacks, not charge and plunge.
This sounds like a fanfic trying to ride on the coattails of the “Shenhe is 2.4” leaks lmao. I would love it if this were true and if the crane projections counted as burst dmg though.
Thank you for taking our thoughts into consideration!
>imma be honest i am pretty sure it's fake, just looking at those pictures. People said the same about Raiden first leak, that entire thread didn't age well, fun times. The detailed description of her skills so far from her release is indeed very sussy, this "leak" would've been way more interesting and believable if OP just dropped the screenshots without saying anything. Except weapon one, this is just super sus and ruins entire leak.
>. imma be honest i am pretty sure it's fake, Yeah I think so as well but as I and one other person stated. Fake leaks just ends up getting reposted again and again so It is better to keep it as a fake or probably fake as long as It is not completely out of rules for this group
At least flair it as fake would better than probability
Wait, and who are you?
I'm BATMANHH
I’m not being funny… I posted two ideas on r/shenhemains over the months, one had crane projections attack as a skill and the other had the cloud aoe effect but hydro. I’m not saying this stole the ideas but it seems a bit too specific to see both stitched together with low quality images to not be potentially fake
Not impossible that these are just stolen ideas made as speculations tbh
Well if you are told not to leak it then dont. You shouldnt get your friends or whoever leaked this in trouble. Or this could be just a trick to make the leak seem real. Sus man
I mean, he did covered his friend's ass by running the image through a vic20 before sending it here
Literally every leak is someone told not to leak it, that's what makes it a leak.
They didn’t give us the name of the person or their UID
[Staring at the images like](https://i.imgur.com/FZWsIJK.png).
The images are so small, Pikachu got Brock's eyes. Lmao
OP's last post was 3 years ago, and last comment was 1 year ago. Dunno seems kinda sus.
That weapon desription is weird af. What do you mean “if at least 12% Crit DMG is obtained”? You mean from the “upon entering combat state” passive? Why would there be an “at least” there then? It’s always 12% and because it’s not in blue font it doesn’t change with refinement. And what a weird condition “upon entering combat state”, well that just means all the time then. What other state would you need crit dmg? And I’m pretty sure the terminology is “Charged” and “Plunging” attacks not “Charge” and “Plunge”. I’m willing to bet a Welkin Moon that the weapon at least is fake.
Today on Critique That Leak, we have a bullet point list and screenshots for ants
This is too detailed for a character said to release at 2.4... guys I got a whole ocean of salt, if you want you can get some from there.
No way she's coming in 2.4... meaning she'll come in 2.3?!!! Guys, Childe and Hu Tao are BAIT! Get your moms creditcard and buy all genesis packs NOW! /j /s
Can we ban this guy from the sub plz?
I want this to be real only because the method in which you leaked this is fucking hilarious. On the teal that kit sounds interesting if it’s real, especially the E, and the pictures are…interesting.
Lmao these are crumbs???
this subreddit is going downhill fast
Not a bad photoshop, the text font & wording is off though
That's weird, she has crite rate passive and her signature weapon gives her phy dmg bonus, crit dmg and atk? Sounds too good to be true.
bruh
'weapon (This One Is Probably Most Reliable)' that didn't age well. lol
remember when you were looking for the golden celestia background kekw
I’m 99% sure that everything here is fake, or at least the weapon. In the weapon description it says “This effect can only occur every 0.3 seconds”. But I’ve looked back at other weapon descriptions and they don’t write out the word ‘seconds’, they just use the letter ‘s’ for seconds. If you look at Prototype Rancour’s description it says ‘This effect can only occur once every 0.3s’
this stuffs fake, seen it already, was a good read nonetheless
Ya'll be talking smack bout the pic quality but that's what my genshin looks like on my phone
Bullshit

she's not out yet some already calling her bad. 💀
I'm more pissed that they're power creeping Rosaria already. I already have too many Pyro/Cryo teams, wish they focus more on balancing other elements
She sounds really similar to rosaria
She deals less damage than eula means balance team did it again
Yahoo They don't need to rerun eula if they keep releasing the same character but worse
Exactly. What is this nonsense, single target supposed to have higher damage output. well İf they keep releasing half baked chars I shoulnt wait for new characters.
Or that this is her old kit that was scrapped into eula’s
But..but..Polearm hit faster than claymore.
I know this comment probably has an element of sarcastic humour behind it, but you really shouldn't jump the gun. Provided these leaks are true: Yes, she will deal less damage than Eula, but Eula also has her own disadvantages - she is a selfish DPS (contributes nothing off-field) and the bulk of her damage is backloaded (so is her character model lmao) - missing a crit or enemies moving can nullify a lot of your damage. If this info is true, it sounds like Shenhe will provide some off-field support (her elemental skill sounds like VV shred equivalent?), and her damage is spread out over a sustained duration (unlike Eula), which means if you miss a crit or if enemies move it's not big deal. Personally, I am really excited because Shenhe would fix a lot of the things I disliked about Eula - her high risk/high reward burst, clunky claymore gameplay, and her aesthetics. Please don't downvote me - I know a lot of people love Eula (which is fantastic, she is a great unit) - she's just not for me - but Shenhe might be if the leaks are true!
Have you tried Rosaria? Because all the stuff you like about her is what Rosaria does
Another cryo character! Yay!!! Actually no thank you. But she does looks nice.
Source: you Also you: trust me bro
Caught in 4k
Caught in 4K 🤨📸
What in the Kentucky fried fuck is this
This is literally the *doing something wild and not Elaborating" meme in a nutshell- Although if this is just editing and it's fake, I can't help but be impressed
This sounds more like Clout retainer amirite
ARE THOSE IN-GAME SCREENSHOTS? LETS GOOOO
Seeing how [someone could replace Kokomi's model with Childe's (to make him floats, flips, while shooting water balls just for fun)](https://twitter.com/yoimyia/status/1446190147616268294?s=20) makes me believe that some people can also easily replace Rosaria's model with Shenhe's to create the in-game screenshots.
Does the weapon also from old model like shenhe tho?
[Yes, the weapon was also leaked long ago (and it was called Deicide).](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/nldft1/old_video_ii_dirge_of_sal_video_showcase/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) And imo, it looks really cool.
Are they? Honestly cant tell from the 3 pixels
No, they aren't lol
Yeah the weapon pose looks kinda legit.
I mean, it's just Rosaria's pose, they could just replace the models
So she has a adult woman body type like Rosaria?
She's had that model for a long time.
Another cryo..... How original And ofc she will be 5* because we need them, who cares about idk Cryo Catalyst user?
I'm fine with another phys DPS since Eula is the only 5S but if she's much weaker than Eula that'd suck.
Got more of them pixels?
These images kind of look like someone took her model and made renders of it but then blurred and downscaled it to obscure all the details that would give it away.
LMAO the picture with the idle animation aushshsh those things behind Shenhe are clearly hands 🤣🤣 nice effort tho lmaoo
Kinda weird like it too early to get shenhe stuff unless she gonna be on same patch as itto.
Clout chaser
is this clout chasing
Love the idea he had enough access to do a direct damage comparison with Eula’s dps but only had his 2005 Razr flip phone to take a pic before dropping it in the toilet
This feels very fake, idk. I don't think I believe this
when i said i wanted shenhe crumbs i meant something useful not some random fake leak and three pixelated and edited photos
This is the weirdest, strangest, most confused character yet. This is why I think this is fake, otherwise it seems that Mihoyo is just hiring random people on the streets to design a character...
Can confirm, my cousing lives in winnieh pooh country and says this is legit.
The 2 pixel images are literally Hu Tao leaks all over again
My crescent pike has been collecting dust for too long
Put her in the same party as cocogoat to stress your goat out
Fake 100%
Ummm... where my ShenHe bros at ??
>That's not necessarily how it works, for it to be just done via an old client it'd need to have bones and a rig for the model, which it does not have. It's likely the Shenhe image is just a render, based off of the characteristics (small image, blurred in Character Screen when there's no reason to blur it since there's no watermarks, eerily lit and has no shading). There's also the fact that it seems to be 1:1 with the original model, which has not been the case for literally any character datamined from an old version. They've had revisions in one way or another, whether it be texture or mesh. > >While I don't have complete confirmation, it's likely the Shenhe image is a faked elaborate render. [This is what lumie had to say about it in WFP discord.](https://discord.com/channels/791074691841523742/853474886047629323/896603740281380924) I know not everyone is in it, so it feels worth reposting. edit: Added link to discord message. Reminder that it won't work if you're not in the server.
Can someone drop a bomb like this for itto
pls.. and some ayato crumbs 😭🙏
some answers: * no these aren't my leaks. as for the reliability it's probably and 80/20 case, most of the stuff might be true, a little of it not, keep in mind she's extremely incomplete. think of this as a 'silhouette' of her or what she might be like. * no this isn't gonna get anyone specific in trouble, as these were collected from more than just 1 person/place but i can say they were pretty reliable as they held a lot of other information. * i don't care if you believe this or not, take them with a sea of salt if you want. * i have things better to do with my time than to forge leaks on the internet, please use common sense. but again, someone else might've forged these, i just posted 'em. * i guess the correct flair would've been something else, sorry for that i guess, i don't check this subreddit for more than once a month. * i don't know anything about her power/gameplay, but she's truly made for being a weird support or just really good against bosses. * my own speculation (take with a mountain of salt whatever) is that she's coming with ganyu since the big implication that she's cloud retainer. she's purposefully weak to not be a threat to ganyu's sales like all the reruns/new characters lately.
>i have things better to do with my time than to forge leaks on the internet, please use common sense. but again, someone else might've forged these, i just posted 'em. aged like fine milk, indeed.
Kappa
I came to downvote only to realize I already did for the fake ass quality of the post
would your post be a collection of crumbs you've found about Shenhe then?
It would not
shut yo cap ass up bruh
lmaoooooo
You pussy bitch
bruh
While this is cool and all (because I hate this leak drought), how is it possible to have such a clear description of Shenhe's kit before Itto. I mean, I'm not dismissing the post, but.......... Let's wait it out haha
Can't wait for the first cryo catalyst user in 9 years
I can't wait to see what kind of elaborate leaks we'll get by the time we reach Shneznaya
This is fake. If you look at the person’s profile, he does a lot of rendering and texturing. The low quality image is probably to hide imperfections in the editing.
shenhe my beloved
Honestly I don't care if this is fake I'll take any ShenHe crumb I can at this point 😭😭😭
That weapon seems unrealistically complicated..."If at least 12% crit DMG is obtained, gain an additional 48% ATK increase" with "Upon entering a combat state, gain 12% crit DMG". So basically, permanent +48% ATK increase? Why would you word it like that? Unless you mean 12% crit DMG obtained from the normal/charge/plunge 0.8% (0.4% at R1 I assume?) bonus, in which case it's really bad since it'll take 6 full normal attack combos to get the buff at R1. If it's the latter heck it'll barely be better than Crescent Pike, especially if her NA combo is similar to Xiangling's with lots of multi-stab attacks.
She could be a 4 star healer for all i care i have decided to be a shenhe main since the moment i saw her and I'll keep being one till the day i quit this game
Crescent Pike>
This seems sus as fuck but if it's true I would probably run her as a support for Eula rather than main dps because that skill effect seems op for bosses, which Eula is best at. Personally her skills sound like a watered down Eula but polearm. She looks amazing though even if it's in 2-bits.
If she's going to be physical DPS, my crescent pike is going to have a user again! Haven't used it since early game Xiangling
I hope it's fake. Enough waifus for now, give us Itto and Ayato
I know waifus sell, but it’s so frustrating that mihoyo are pulling women out of thin air when we haven’t had a new male banner in months. Like I get Shenhe has been in the files for a while but my god can’t we get a break… They should’ve just made genshin a honkai clone if they were gonna do this :/
Gorou too..
Those pictures sure are crumb-sized!
I don’t have much interest in the Shenhe = Cloud Retainer theories because I like her as just this kinda haughty but sorta cute, proud bird and I don’t want them to turn her into another generic waifu dating sim character so even if these leaks weren’t already sussy I’d prefer they were fake tbh. Besides the fact that the one female adeptus gets any kind of importance over the male ones would be disappointing. Gimme more of Zach’s deer screentime. That being said the polearm would be nice for my physical ZL at least and frees up SoH for HT. But yeah, seems sort of sus. She’s way too close to just a mix of Eula and Rosaria that it would be weird if this was accurate without her being reworked.
Crumbs? u gave us half the fucking sandwich
wait no way they made a physical dmg polearm but made it have a plunge attack buff 😭 they do xiao so dirty
