Ganyu (Melt DPS) | Build

Character Guide • Build: Ganyu | Update Date: 10/09/2022 | Editor: ChrӨma#3489

• Best Weapon(s):

Sharpshooter's OathPrototype CrescentHamayumiAmos' Bow
Amos' Bow
Provides an enormous amount of DMG% bonus to Charged Attacks. 3 stacks of its passive are guaranteed on her Bloom damage.

Prototype Crescent R5
Assuming she can hit a weakpoint, this bow is competitive with her 5* bows.

Hamayumi R5
A reliable source of DMG boost on normal and charge attacks, buff is further increase by 100% when burst energy is 100.

Early Game Option:
Sharpshooter's Oath
Hits on weakspots are guaranteed to CRIT. Thus, no CRIT Rate is necessary if you're an aim god.

• Replacement Weapon(s):

Blackcliff WarbowThe Viridescent HuntHamayumiSkyward HarpPolar StarAqua SimulacraThundering Pulse
Aqua Simulacra

Thundering Pulse
Excellent unconditional weapon for DPS capability. Its passive is largely wasted due to it providing Normal Attack DMG.

Polar Star
Conditionally excellent if Ganyu stacks its passive by weaving in a Normal Attack before her DPS window (ie. N1EC+).

Skyward Harp

The Viridescent Hunt, Blackcliff Warbow and Hamayumi R5 are all very viable.

Character Guide • Build: Ganyu | Update Date: 02/03/2024 | Editor: ._.samantha._.

• Best Weapon(s):

Sharpshooter's OathPrototype CrescentAmos' BowAqua SimulacraThe First Great Magic
The First Great Magic
Regardless of the number of Cryo teammates, this weapon will almost always be best. However, it is not a major change or a must-pull.

Aqua Simulacra
Best unconditional damage focused weapon. Due to a lower Base Attack, Ganyu's damage will scale slightly better with Shenhe's Elemental Skill buff and Bennett's Elemental Burst Flat Attack buff.

Prototype Crescent R5
Assuming she can hit a weakpoint, this bow is competitive with her 5* bows.

Amos' Bow
Provides an enormous amount of DMG% bonus to Charged Attacks. Any team compositions that use them will find Amos' Bow very effective. However, a significant amount of Freeze DPS Ganyu's damage is her Elemental Burst, which it does not buff.

Early Game Option:
Sharpshooter's Oath
Hits in weakspots are guaranteed to CRIT. Thus, no CRIT Rate is necessary if you're an aim god.

Blackcliff WarbowThe Viridescent HuntHamayumiSkyward HarpPolar StarThundering Pulse
Thundering Pulse
Excellent unconditional weapon for DPS capability. Its passive is largely wasted due to it providing Normal Attack DMG.

Polar Star
Conditionally excellent if Ganyu fully stacks its passive by weaving in a Normal Attack before her DPS window (ie. N1EQC+). Will go over 100% CRIT Rate against Frozen enemies with 4pc Blizzard Strayer and Cryo Resonance, thus losing value.

Skyward Harp
Great unconditional damage option. The CRIT Rate stat is not ideal, as it raises the likelihood that Ganyu goes over 100% CRIT Rate with artifact substats against frozen enemies.

Mounn's Moon, The Viridescent Hunt, Blackcliff Warbow and Hamayumi R5 are all very viable.

Ganyu (Burst Support) | Build

Character Guide • Build: Ganyu | Update Date: 08/06/2022 | Editor: LordOfEnnui#8710

• Best Weapon(s):

Favonius WarbowElegy for the EndAqua Simulacra
Aqua Simulacra
Best damage focused weapon. Ganyu's Elemental Burst snapshots its 20% DMG bonus when near enemies, so ranged on-field DPS' are not a problem.

Elegy for the End
Great for team compositions based on Reactions. Its Elemental Mastery and ATK% buffs are very helpful. The ER stat is great for her, as running ER sands may no longer be necessary in some teams. On others, it can be a loss for her personal DPS but is usually made up for by the gain in team DPS.

Favonius Warbow
Conditionally very good; as Ganyu gets CRIT Rate from many sources, getting its passive off can be consistent depending on the team composition, decreasing ER requirements and thus increasing potential team DPS. Note that it only activates when she is on-field.

• Replacement Weapon(s):

The StringlessPrototype CrescentBlackcliff WarbowThe Viridescent HuntAlley HunterSkyward HarpPolar StarThundering Pulse
Thundering Pulse
Excellent weapon for sub-DPS capability. Its passive is largely wasted due to it providing Normal Attack DMG.

Polar Star
Conditionally excellent in comps that can fully or partially stack its passive by weaving a Charged Attack and/or a Normal Attack into Ganyu's rotation window (ie. N1CEQ) without it being a DPS loss. Will go over 100% CRIT Rate against Frozen enemies with 4pc Blizzard Strayer and Cryo Resonance, thus losing value.

Skyward Harp
Great unconditional damage option. The CRIT Rate stat is not ideal, as it raises the likelihood that Ganyu goes over 100% CRIT Rate with artifact substats against frozen enemies.

Prototype Crescent R5
Assuming she can take the time to hit a weakpoint, this bow is competitive with her 5* bows.

Mounn's Moon, The Viridescent Hunt, The Stringless, Alley Hunter, Blackcliff Warbow are all very viable. Most DPS bows can be viable in comps that use some Charged Attacks.

Ganyu's team options are very flexible. Zhongli can be replaced by Diona, Xinyan, Noelle or Thoma. Kokomi/Mona can be replaced by most hydro units, even Xingqiu if you weave in normal attacks or Barbara if you hug opponents. Shenhe and Rosaria are generally interchangeable. Kazuha can be replaced with Sucrose.

Stories

Though many in Liyue are fascinated by life in Yujing Terrace, its day-to-day operations and rules are a mystery to them. They are aware that the Liyue Qixing are the cream of the crop who hold the fate of the city in their hands, but the calculations and data behind the Qixing's every decision are far harder to grasp. The people understand that the new policies announced each year will change the dynamics of the market, yet none can comprehend how policy is plucked from complex meeting minutes and compiled into something easier on the human eye. As the secretary of Yuehai Pavilion, Ganyu undertakes many tasks that ordinary folk do not see. For those that have witnessed her standing by the dock at daybreak, enjoying her breakfast in silence, it is difficult to imagine her in such a post. Even still, by the time the sun has fully risen, she will have returned to Yuehai Pavilion overlooking Yujing Terrace, to continue to fulfill her contract. A contract that she signed three thousand years ago with Rex Lapis.
