Best Ganyu Build in Genshin Impact

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Ganyu's strength lies in her ability to deal consistent high damage from a safe distance, making her one of the premier DPS characters in "Genshin Impact." Adjust her build according to your team's needs, whether you're focusing on raw damage output or elemental reactions.

Ganyu, as a Cryo bow user in "Genshin Impact," is renowned for her ability to deal massive damage from a distance, especially with her charged attacks. Here’s how you might build her for optimal performance:

Suggested Weapons Gameplay Strategies

Amos' Bow: This is often considered the best weapon for Ganyu due to its increase in Normal and Charged Attack DMG. Its passive also enhances the damage of projectiles based on how far they travel, which synergizes perfectly with Ganyu's playstyle.

Skyward Harp: Provides CRIT Rate and has a passive that increases CRIT DMG, making it excellent for boosting her overall damage output.

Prototype Crescent: A craftable option that increases ATK% after hitting weak points, which Ganyu can easily target with her aimed shots.

Hamayumi: Another craftable bow that increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG. Its passive can be fully utilized if you manage to keep her burst active.

The Stringless: While generally better for characters who use their Elemental Skill and Burst often, it can still boost her skill and burst damage significantly.

Best Artifact Sets for Ganyu

4-piece Wanderer's Troupe: This set increases Charged Attack DMG by 35% if the character uses a Catalyst or Bow, which is ideal for Ganyu's playstyle centered around her charged shots.

4-piece Blizzard Strayer: 2-piece gives +15% Cryo DMG Bonus, and with 4-piece, when attacking Cryo-affected enemies, CRIT Rate is increased. This set works wonderfully in freeze teams or against enemies that can be consistently affected by Cryo.

2-piece Blizzard Strayer + 2-piece Noblesse Oblige: If you're looking for a balance between her Cryo damage and Burst support.

Artifact Stats Priority

Sands: ATK%

Goblet: Cryo DMG Bonus

Circlet: CRIT DMG or CRIT Rate (depending on which you need more to balance her CRIT stats)

Sub-stats to prioritize

CRIT Rate

CRIT DMG

ATK%

Energy Recharge (if you find her burst isn't up often enough)

Talent Prioritization

Normal Attack - Liutian Archery - Focus on this since Ganyu's charged attacks are where most of her damage comes from.

Elemental Burst - Celestial Shower - It provides continuous Cryo application and damage in an area, useful for both damage and setting up reactions.

Elemental Skill - Trail of the Qilin - While important for creating distance and some damage, it's less of a priority than her attacks or burst but still worth leveling for the utility.

Team Composition

Freeze Team: Pair Ganyu with Hydro applicators like Mona or Kokomi for consistent Freeze reactions, amplifying her damage with Blizzard Strayer.

Melt Team: Use her with Pyro characters like Bennett or Xiangling to trigger Melt, which can amplify her damage significantly, though this might require her to be closer to enemies for optimal Pyro application.

Support: Characters like Zhongli for shields, Venti for crowd control, or Diona for healing and Cryo resonance can be beneficial.

Playstyle Tips Gameplay Tips

Charged Shots: Always aim for weak points to trigger additional effects from weapons like Prototype Crescent or just to maximize damage.

Positioning: Use her Elemental Skill to back away from enemies, giving her space to snipe from afar safely.

Burst Management: Her Elemental Burst has a high energy cost but provides excellent Cryo application and damage, so manage energy accordingly.
