Black Wing

Windfall
CRIT Hits have a 60~100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12~6s.
With this weapon, it is better to have some Crit Rate on Shenhe for the weapon passive to proc (Do note that Cryo Resonance provides 15% Crit Rate on Cryo-imbued enemies, so the need for Crit Rate on Shenhe is lowered). With refinements especially, Favonius Lance can outperform 5* options under some conditions.
