Icy Quill
When Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts deal Cryo DMG to opponents, the DMG dealt is increased based on Shenhe's current ATK.

The Icy Quill's effects will be cleared once its duration ends or after being triggered a certain number of times.
When held rather than (‍pressed‍/‍tapped‍), the Icy Quill's effect lasts longer and can be triggered more times.
When one Cryo DMG instance strikes multiple opponents, the effect is triggered multiple times based on the number of opponents hit. The number of times the effect is triggered is calculated independently for each party member with the Icy Quill.

  • When this skill hits at least one enemy, it generates 3 Elemental Particles if it was pressed and 4 if it was held.
  • The buff based on Shenhe's ATK is dynamic and changes if her ATK changes during the buff.
  • The resulting Icy Quill DMG Bonus is flat and is expressed as:
