Who is Shenhe in Genshin Impact, Waifu Release Date, Vision Predictions

Shenhe is one of the first-ever data mined characters in Genshin Impact, but has yet to be released, here’s what we know about her so far.

While an unfinished model for Shenhe was found in the Closed Beta Test of Genshin Impact pre-release, she is one of the few characters whose existence was never officially confirmed until just recently with Genshin Impact 2.2 and its newly added About Voicelines.

Shenli or Shenhe?

The unreleased character commonly called Shenli is actually named Shenhe. I believe that back when Shenhe was data mined, many fans ended mixing up both names. The name “Shenli” is Ayaka‘s surname in Chinese, and has no relation to Shenhe. I’ve used “Shenli” as well for SEO’s sake, as several fans still call this character Shenli.

Genshin Impact – Who is Shenli / Shenhe and when’s her release date?

Shenhe was one of the characters found by Genshin Impact data miners a few weeks after the game officially launched on September 28, 2020. The characters data mined back then also included Hu Tao and Rosaria, who have now been officially released. Along with Yao Yao and Yun Jin, Shenhe is one of the only data mined characters back then that has yet to become playable.

Right now, a leaker previously mentioned Shenhe will be released in Genshin Impact 2.4. If this is true, miHoYo should officially reveal Shenhe’s artwork for the first time in these next few days, after Version 2.3 launches on November 24.

The unfinished model of Shenhe, seen above, was published by data miners a few months after the release of Genshin Impact. What we know about her lore so far is that Shenhe is a Liyue Harbor female character. You can find several “gameplay” videos of Shenhe on YouTube. However, these were all fan-made using the unfinished 3D model and software like Miku Miku Dance.

Shenhe’s rarity, weapon and vision

When she was first data mined, Shenhe’s data pointed out that she was a Claymore user and a Cryo vision user. Later on, more data mining pointed out that Shenhe was now using Catalyst weapons. Either way, she’s an unreleased character, so there is no definite answer.

It’s very likely her Vision and Weapon were changed since the first time she was data mined over a year ago. The leaker previously mentioned also said that she’s a 5-star character.
