How to play Sanhua
A Glacio sub-DPS built around Resonance Skill DMG and the fastest Concerto Energy generation in the game.
Her job is to get in, drop Ice Thorn, Ice Prism and Glacier, and hand the field back with a Basic Attack DMG buff running on whoever comes next.
The loop is short by design: Resonance Skill, Resonance Liberation, then a held Basic Attack released in the Frostbite zone to set all three off at once. She asks for almost no field time, which is exactly why she sits in so many Glacio teams.
Sanhua’s best teams
Suoming Hypercarry
Suoming (Main DPS), Sanhua (Sub-DPS), Shorekeeper or Mornye or Verina (Support)
A solid Suoming Hypercarry.
Sanhua feeds Basic Attack DMG, and that’s what Suoming scales on.
Shorekeeper puts Crit and ATK on top of everything, and heals.
On the numbers, about 2.0M per rotation.
With Mornye: about 1.9M. With Verina: about 1.7M.
With Buling (4★) in Shorekeeper’s seat: about 1.7M per rotation.
Luuk Hypercarry
Luuk Herssen (Main DPS), Sanhua (Sub-DPS), Mornye or Shorekeeper or Verina (Support)
A basic Luuk Hypercarry.
Sanhua plays Sub-DPS, Luuk plays Main DPS. Different jobs, no shared window.
Luuk applies his own Tune Strain, which is exactly what Mornye responds to, so she reaches her full buff set on him even at S0. On top comes the extra team DMG% her Interfered Marker gives back.
On the numbers, about 1.4M per rotation.
With Shorekeeper: about 1.3M. With Verina: about 1.1M.
With Baizhi (4★) in Mornye’s seat: about 1.1M per rotation.
Cartethyia Team
Cartethyia (Main DPS), Sanhua (Sub-DPS), Rover (Aero) (Support)
Sanhua plays Sub-DPS, Cartethyia plays Main DPS. Different jobs, no shared window.
Rover (Aero) keeps Aero Erosion stacked. Cartethyia's damage reads off it.
On the numbers, about 1.4M per rotation.
Other good partners: Camellya, Encore, Rover (Havoc)
