►Suggested Teammates

  • Zhongli

    Zhongli offers a lot of needed safety to Ganyu with his shield and crowd control abilities, allowing the cocogoat to rip through the battle field with unseen before speed and grace.

  • Mona

    Mona is a pretty good off-field Hydro applicator, enabling Ganyu to stun lock all her enemies by freezing them.
    Their elemental skills and bursts pair perfectly together, and can almost finish the enemies by themselves. If thats not enough you still have Ganyu's high caliber arrows as an insurance.

  • Venti

    There are not many characters that can take full advantage of Venti's burst. Ganyu is an exception to this, not only she can shoot the suspended enemies, but her burst benefits a lot from the clumping of enemies, multiplying her burst damage accordingly with how many enemies are gathered together.

  • Diona

    In terms of Cryo resonance Ganyu and Diona go together like a pair of snowflakes, Diona's shielding and healing help Ganyu do her job of obliterating everything extremely easyly, while the Cryo resonance will make your damage even more consistent.
    All of this while also being part of the most adorable team comp possible!.

  • Sucrose

    Ganyu benefits a lot from clumping enemies together. Increased elemental mastery and Cryo resistance reduction will allow Ganyu to maximize her DPS. These two will take the battlefield like a storm!.

  • Xiangling

    There are very few off-field Pyro applicators in the game right now, luckily, Xiangling could as well be the best to ever come out. If you are looking for big horn melt numbers look no further, Gouba can provide two full melts(including the frostflake bloom) everytime he takes the battlefield, while Xiangling's elemental burst will provide consistent Pyro application to finish off any enemies tough enough to have survived the first barrage.

►Summary

"It is said that the qilin carry an auspicious grace, yet who knows of the loneliness of a benevolent being among the sea of people"

Pros:

  • All of her kit is good making her very fluid and self-sufficient.
  • Consistent AoE damage, not affected much by any elemental ailments.
  • Strong supportive options with a taunt and 100% uptime off-field Cryo application with good damage.

Cons:

  • Prone to being interrupted and needing shield support.
  • Her artifact sets leave a lot to be desired as well as her weapons not named Amos' Bow.

Building tips:

  • Ganyu doesn't really have good artifact sets that supoprt the strong hits she delivers, the community has settled on trying to make her work with Wanderer's Troupe x4 and Blizzard Strayer x4, two sets that while good are not ideal given all the free stats Ganyu gets in her kit.
  • Ganyu is a Cryo Main DPS character like most DPS characters she makes good use of Crit and ATK stats, Ganyu is especially inclined to use a lot of Crit DMG given that she gets almost 50% Crit Rate for free, with Cryo resonance and, almost 100% Crit Rate for free while using the Blizzard Strayer artifact set.
  • Ganyu wants mostly ATK and Crit Damage substats this reduces her options for her weapons, her best bow currently is the Amos' Bow. While any other bow with Crit or ATK substats will do a decent job, it is of note that the Prototype Crescent at R5 is a very competitive option under perfect reaching almost the power of an R1 Amos' Bow.

Gameplay tips:

  • Keep using your Elemental Skill off cooldown and position yourself accordingly so you can hit at least one enemy with it, this will allow you to keep your energy up and keep your burst going 100% of the time.
  • Ganyu's elemental burst not only adds a lot of AoE damage but also improves your overall Cryo output thanks to its Bonus, if you can't have your burst up all the time, try to find some battery for Ganyu or add some Energy Recharge on her build.
  • Sometimes it's best to shoot your arrow to the floor so you don't have a chance to miss especially against humanoid enemies which have a very small hitbox.
  • Learning when your arrow has fully charged to level two will increase your DPS a lot, make sure to pay attention to the animation on your screen instead of waiting until the charging noise is heard.

Constellations power:

  1. C1 is a very good constellation offering Cryo Shred and Energy generation two things that will improve Ganyu's overall damage.
  2. More Taunts and more energy, this constellation gets a higher score if you are going for c6.
  3. Ganyu's burst has very good scaling especially against enemies which can be grouped.
  4. This Bonus is additive which means it is not as strong as the description makes it up to be, one advantage is that it works on the whole party and that you can also keep it up all the time if you keep bursting within 3 seconds of your burst ending.
  5. Your skill gets better, Ganyu's skill hits hard but still not the kind of damage boost we are looking for at high constellations.
  6. This constellation seems suited only for a Ganyu solo clearing the game but think about it, with this constellation you can switch in Ganyu fire 3 fully charged attacks within seconds, generate 8 Cryo particles fire up your burst, further buffing your team's overall damage, this constellation makes Ganyu one of the best Sub DPS and Cryo supports in the game.
