Alongside the update comes two new characters. Both of these characters, one a five-star and one a four-star, wield pole arms and act as supporting members of any team. Shenhe, the five-star character, uses the power of cryo itself as weapon. According to a press release about the update, her elemental abilities can boost the attacks and powers of her teammates. Â
She can, according to the release, “boost either nearby party members’ Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage, or their Normal, Plunging, and Charged Attack damage.”Â
