She is a versatile unit that has a wide variety of playstyles. The most notable ones are an on-field DPS, off-field DPS, and cryo support. This lets her form multiple team compositions that can adapt to almost any content she faces. ..

Her powerful attacks are not easily countered by issues like energy or cooldown extension. Plus, she has a powerful burst that works for both damage and support. ..

Ganyu’s basically a great unit at any point in the game – both in the overworld and Spiral Abyss.

If you already have Ayaka, then Shizuka’s pull value decreases. She is a strong Cryo DPS unit, but having one of them is often enough for an account. ..

You can’t go wrong with having both of them – they excel at different things.

Ganyu is a powerful dragon that can be used in raids. She is not as strong as some of the other dragons, but she is still a valuable asset to have. ..

Pros & Cons

Ganyu Strengths

Ganyu’s powerful attacks are unaffected by energy restraints and cooldown extension debuffs. ..

This makes her especially good against content that has these restrictions – most notably the Slowing Waters debuff. This increases the affected character’s cooldowns and can easily ruin most teams’ rotations.

Ganyu’s attacks deal a significant amount of damage, but her burst is still very important. It deals a large portion of her damage.

When using Ashe’s burst ability, it is highly recommended that you do so as a team. This ability is very powerful and can help your team win fights. ..

Ganyu’s burst ability deals significant damage and even provides a 20% Cryo damage bonus.

The 15s duration with a 15s cooldown makes it easy to get full uptime on your energy weapons.

Throughout her burst, it summons 50 icicles.

This is a unique and powerful ability that can easily take out enemies with just a few icicles. If you have more than 5 opponents, make sure to use this ability sparingly as it will only hit one target per burst.

Each icicle also covers a small area that can hit multiple opponents at once. ..

Ganyu’s new ability, icicle, allows it to hit multiple targets simultaneously for increased damage. ..

Venti is a remarkable Ganyu teammate against AOE content because he is able to quickly and easily take down enemies with his powerful attacks. ..

Plus, her burst is also great against single-target with larger hitboxes. This is simply because most of her icicles will very likely hit that single big target.

Azdaha is an excellent example of a character with a large hitbox. This makes it easy for all 50 icicles to hit him. ..

Ganyu can fulfill three different roles on the field – namely, an On-field DPS, Off-field DPS, and Cryo Support.

This guide will teach you how to play Ganyu in the most efficient way possible. By understanding his playstyle and using the right tools, you can defeat any enemy with ease.

-Aggressive: This player is all about taking risks and going for the kill. They will often go for the biggest and most powerful enemies first, and will not hesitate to use their powerful attacks to take down their opponents. -Defensive: This player prefers to stay behind their allies and protect them from harm. They will often use defensive abilities to protect themselves and their allies, as well as heal them when needed. -Supportive: This player is all about helping their allies survive and defeat the enemy. They will often use supportive abilities to buff their allies, or help them escape danger. ..

Prototype Crescent is a unique bow that synergizes extremely well with Ganyu. It is a craftable bow that can be used to shoot arrows with great accuracy. This bow is perfect for those who want to improve their shooting skills.

Ganyu’s stats and passive provide a lot of ATK. This is especially valuable in Freeze teams since Ganyu tends to already have a lot of CRIT stats and less ATK. ..

At R5, the passive of a weapon’s ATK buff is increased to 72%. This makes it more powerful than some 5-star weapons.

Prototype refinements are easier to get because it is a craftable weapon.

In Hamayumi, players can craft their own bow and use it to take down enemies. This F2P-friendly option is great for players who want to get into the game quickly and without spending a lot of money. ..

Prototype Crescent is a great weapon for Hamayumi because it has a weakspot that makes it easy to fix. It’s also craftable, so it’s relatively easy to get refinements.

Ganyu Weaknesses

Ganyu’s CA deal a significant portion of her total DPS.

Although her CA’s cover a larger area of effect, you still need to hit an opponent or object with the initial smaller attack.

Some mobile and Playstation players may find it difficult to get around missing attacks, as this can be a sizable damage loss.

In cases where burst DPS is the best playstyle, it’s often recommended to go for Ayaka.

The Bow and Catalyst users are more easily staggered than other units because they use a bow to shoot arrows and a catalyst to create energy.

This is a problem for units that spend a lot of field time on the front line. This is especially true for an On-field DPS Ganyu.

In Freeze teams, opponents are frozen regardless of whether they are in the middle of casting a spell or not. This is not an issue in Melt teams, where opponents can be melted regardless of their current state. ..

Ganyu’s charged attacks can be easily interrupted, thus canceling the attack. ..

This is a sizable damage loss. So it’s very important to use a shield in her Melt teams – most notably Zhongli.

Are Ganyu’s Constellations Good?

Ganyu has a variety of constellations that are pretty good. ..

The constellation system in C0 is mainly just damage and quality-of-life buffs - they don’t change any of her playstyles from C0.

If you insist on pulling, the best place to stop is C1.

The constellation Aries is a great damage boost that outshines most of her early constellations.

There are other great constellations (C4 & C6), but it’s not worth it to focus on them. It’s better to pull for other units. ..

The asterism known as C1 is a key part of the constellations known as the Milky Way. It’s located in the constellation of Andromeda, which is located in the southern sky. The asterism can be seen from Earth as a group of stars that are about halfway between the Milky Way and Andromeda.

C1: Dew-Drinker

Ganyu’s FrostFlake Arrow and Blooms decrease opponents’ Cryo resistance by 15% for 6s upon hit. A hit also regenerates 2 Energy for Ganyu. This can only be triggered once per Frostflake Arrow, regardless if the arrow itself or its Bloom hits the target.

Ganyu’s damage is increased by the Cryo resistance shred. This buff is also beneficial to other Cryo DPS units in the team. ..

The energy regeneration effect is a buff that helps Ganyu charge her burst faster.

It’s useful for teams where Ganyu spam her burst, but it’s irrelevant for Melt teams – Ganyu doesn’t use her burst here.

C2: The Auspicious

Increases her skill charge by 1.

C2 is a small constellation before C6. ..

Ganyu’s 2nd skill mainly helps charge her burst. Since Ganyu already has a low Energy Requirement – which is further decreased by C1 – these extra particles are unnecessary. ..

The taunt in Genshin can occasionally be useful, but it is often unreliable. It doesn’t really work most of the time.

C3: Cloud-Strider

Talent that increases the elemental burst ability by 3. ..

Ganyu’s Burst Mode now increases its damage output. ..

C4: Westward Sojourn

Opponents inside Ganyu’s burst take increased damage. The increased damage starts at 5% and increases every 3s – up to a maximum of 25%. This effect lingers for 3s after the opponent leaves her burst.

The increased damage effect also benefits the entire team by counting as damage dealt by teammates.

Galactic teams are great for certain players, but Melt’s burst isn’t used in this team. ..

C5: The Merciful

The talent tree for elemental skills in “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” has been expanded with three new skills. ..

It’s a pretty bad constellation because its skill deals a very small portion of its damage, so C5’s damage gain is insignificant.

This constellation is seen as a stepping stone for C6.

C6: The Clement

Ganyu’s skill causes the next Frostflake Arrow shot to not require charging.

This new constellation effectively removes the charging time for Frostflake Arrow’s 2-3 attacks per rotation. ..

It retroactively makes her C1 and C2 better.

Amos’ Bow vs. Aqua Simulacra for Ganyu

Aqua Simulacra is slightly better than Amos’ Bow for Ganyu – but the difference is very small (only around 2%). ..

This means that the better weapon will often depend on your artifacts and teams.

It’s highly recommended that you use whichever one you have available. Don’t pull for Aqua if you already have Amos’ – and vice versa.

Prototype Crescent vs. Hamayumi for Ganyu

Prototype Crescent is considered the better option because it is more efficient and has a longer lifespan.

The passive of the new rifle is all or nothing. If you don’t hit a weak spot, the weapon doesn’t fire. This makes it a powerful tool for taking down weaker enemies, or for dealing damage to tougher targets.

Hamayumi is a passive verb that can be used for general purposes. You’ll always benefit from its passive function, which can be more helpful than others.

The main difference between the two weapons is that the bow has a situational passive which is strong in some scenarios but useless in others. This means that depending on the situation, one can potentially outperform the other.
