For clarification regarding the timing of Shennong's skills, Shennong only triggers his {{Status|en name=Evasion}} on the first turn of each phase. On the other hand, Shennong only triggers his {{Status|en name=Poison reversal}} skill on every turn except the first turn of each phase. So they are essentially mutually exclusive effects which will never stack if they come from Shennong. | |||

'''Healer''' | |||
As demonstrated in the table above, the net healing effect of Shennong's kit is comparable to movesluts of the {{Star|5}} variety. However, it is small compared to units who specialize in healing such as Jiangshi Babalon or Tomte. Still, it can be concluded that Shennong's HP drain from Poison is not something to be worried about. As an additional note, the healing from Shennong's first turn skill and his CS is somewhat large, improving overall the team's sustainability. | |||
'''Damage Mitigator''' | |||
Outside of Poison Reversal, Shennong also has the ability to provide {{Status|en name=Evasion}} on the first turn of each phase to himself and, in his {{Star|4}} form, also to allies. {{Transient icon|Sitri|variant=Christmas}} also effectively had this ability, and it's worth mentioning here for {{Star|4}} Shennong as well for the same reasons. Most of the time, this skill gives the team a free turn for putting out damage and activating skills. In particular, it's worth mentioning that units who have skills which activate [When/After Receiving Damage] are helped by this effect greatly, which includes units like Canaan Tangaroa, {{Transient icon|Oz|rarity=4}}, and {{Transient icon|Maria|rarity=4}}. Unlike Christmas Sitri, Shennong is also more of an active damage mitigator through Poison reversal as well, so he enables team compositions geared around such skill timings more easily. | |||
The {{Star|3}} form of Shennong loses out on this ability so he won't be able to perform the same way. Since he functionally still does everything regarding Poison Reversal however, it is not too huge of a loss so this first turn can be used to move a unit who only needs to move periodically like Christmas Sitri. On the other hand, if the number of turns taken to clear each phase is low, the {{Star|3}} form will be more of a dead weight. | |||
