Sanhua
Who is Sanhua?
Sanhua is a 4★ Glacio Sub-DPS using a Sword and one of the best free characters in the entire game. Her role is purely Concerto Energy generation — she swaps in, uses her Resonance Skill and Liberation rapidly, generates maximum Concerto Energy in seconds, and swaps back out. This makes her the ideal rotation filler for any Glacio DPS (especially Carlotta) who needs fast Outro cycling without a premium 5★ support.
Kit Summary
Quick Sword slashes; generates small Concerto Energy per hit.
An icy projectile that Freezes enemies briefly and generates a large burst of Concerto Energy — her core contribution on rotation entry.
At max Forte, fires a powerful icy projectile dealing Glacio DMG and generating additional Concerto; rarely triggered in optimised quick-swap rotations.
Large Glacio burst dealing AoE damage and generating a full bar of Concerto Energy in one cast — the single best Concerto generation ability in the 4★ roster.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Freezing Frost (4pc) — Glacio DMG Bonus for personal damage; alternatively Moonlit Clouds for maximum Energy Regen to keep Liberation cycling.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Emerald of Genesis (4★ Sword) or any ATK/Energy Regen Sword — her job is generating Concerto Energy, not personal damage. Weapon stats matter less than staying alive and having Liberation ready.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Glacio: Carlotta + Sanhua + Verina / Baizhi (Sanhua is Carlotta's best F2P Concerto filler — no alternatives needed)
F2P Verdict
Sanhua is available on all permanent Convene banners — every player gets her naturally through normal play.
She gets meaningfully better at S1 (increases Liberation DMG) and S2 (reduces Liberation cooldown) — both readily obtainable via standard pulls.
She needs minimal echo investment — prioritise your main DPS echoes first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Sanhua used with Carlotta?
Sanhua generates Concerto Energy (the resource that triggers Outro Skills) faster per second than any other 4★ unit in the Glacio element. This means Carlotta gets her Outro triggered frequently, extending her on-field DPS time. Their Glacio Resonator bonus (+5% Glacio DMG to both) is a secondary perk.
Does Sanhua deal good damage?
Her personal damage is modest — she is a Concerto filler, not a DPS. Her value is 100% rotation utility. Do not invest heavily in her echoes; focus on Energy Regen substats and let your DPS carry the numbers.
Can Sanhua work outside Glacio teams?
Her Concerto generation is universal — she can fill the rotation slot in any team that wants fast Outro cycling, not just Glacio. However, the double-Glacio resonance bonus is lost outside element-matched teams.
