Genshin Impact Ganyu Construction and Character Guide

From GamersLance, we want to explain the Construction and Character Guide of Genshin Impact Ganyu. In this video game, you must have different concepts in mind: Arrow, Flower, Frost, Constellation, Nectar, Ice, Time, Jade... If you want to know how you can build in Genshin Impact and about the characters, stay and read the post.

Ganyu uses materials that are already available in Genshin Impact since version 1.2, so if you've been sitting on Shivada Jade, Hoarfrost Cores, Qingxin and Whopperflower Nectar, you'll be sitting pretty once Ganyu debuts. She's a 5-star, so removing her from your banner will require a lot of Primogems, so spend responsibly.

Genshin Impact Ganyu's Venting

Below is the full list of Ganyu's attacks and abilities, his passive talents, constellations, and finally all of his ascension and talent requirements. Build recommendations, which include both suggested weapons and artifact sets, are the focus of this guide, following Ganyu's constellations. Since Ganyu is about to go live (or is live, again depending on when you read this guide), all information is updated as of version 1.2.

Ganyu's attacks and skills

• Melee: Liutian Archery
  • Normal Attack: performs up to 6 consecutive shots with a bow.
  • Charged Attack: performs a more accurate targeted shot with higher damage.
    • While aiming, an icy aura builds up at the tip of the arrow before it is shot. It has different effects depending on how long the energy has been charged.
    • Charge level 1: fires an icy arrow that inflicts cryogenic damage.
    • Charge level 2: triggers a frost flake arrow that deals Cyro damage. The Frostflake Arrow blooms after hitting its target, dealing AoE Cryo damage.
  • Swooping Attack: unleashes a shower of arrows in the air before falling and hitting the ground, dealing AoE damage on impact.
• Elemental Skill: Qilin Trail
  • Leaving only one behind, Ganyu rushes back, dodging any dirt and inflicting AoE Cryo damage.
    • Continually taunts surrounding opponents, luring them to attack him.
    • Resistance is scaled according to Ganyu's maximum HP.
    • Blooms profusely when destroyed or after its duration expires, which inflicts Cryo AoE damage.
• Elemental Blast: Heavenly Rain
  • Fuses atmospheric frost and snow to summon a sacred cryogenic pearl that exorcises evil. For the duration of its ability, the Sacred Cryo Pearl will continuously rain ice shards, striking opponents in an area and inflicting Cryo damage.

Ganyu Constellations

• Drinker of dew
  • Damage inflicted by a frost flake arrow of charge level 2 or a frost flake arrow reduces the opponent's cryogenic resistance by 15% for 6 seconds.

  • Qilin Track gains 1 additional charge.
• Cloud walker
  • Increases the level of Heavenly Rain by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15.

  • The effect persists for 3 seconds after the opponent leaves the area of effect.
• The Merciful
  • Increases the level of Qilin Trail by 3.
• The Merciful
  • Using Trail of the Qilin makes the next Frostflake Arrow shot in 30 seconds not require a charge.

Ganyu construction suggestions

Ganyu can work as a support or damage dealer in Genshin Impact, depending on the composition and needs of his team. His Qilin's Path is a great support ability, primarily for tank battles by attracting aggro. You'll want to watch the HP stats to get the most out of it, as it scales with health. Otherwise, Ganyu's damage is primarily Cryo, so Cryo and attack damage are desirable early on. Later on, you'll want critical rate and critical damage to maximize his damage.

The 4-star bows that will work well with Ganyu are the, and the.

• After inflicting damage to an opponent with an elemental ability, the ability has a 40% chance to end its own DC. It can only occur once every 30 seconds.
  • No more Trail of the Qilin Ice Lotuses for support compilations, no need for his second constellation.
• Increases the damage of elemental abilities and elemental explosions by 24/30/36/42/48%.
  • It makes his powerful radiance even more powerful.
• Increases DAMAGE against weak points by 24/30/36/36/42/48%.
  • Works in a restriction, but not as desirable as the other two. A solid fallback weapon.

Artifact sets that work well with Ganyu are the Wanderer troop, Noblesse Oblige, and the Glacier and Snowfield set. Depending on your team composition, Glacier and Snowfield can turn your Electro and Pyro damage dealers into absolute beasts. Otherwise, Wanderer's and Noblesse are solid four-piece sets for Ganyu, especially Wanderer with his boost to charged attacks.

• Wanderer Troupe
  • (2) Elemental Mastery +80
  • (4) Increases charged attack damage by 35% if the character is using a catalyst or bow.
• Noblesse oblige
  • (2) Elemental Blast damage increased by 20%.
  • (4) Using an elemental blast increases the attack stats of all party members by 20% for 12 seconds, but this effect cannot be stacked.
• Glacier and snowfield
  • (2) Increases Cryo's damage by 15%.
  • (4) Increases superconducting damage by 100% and fusion damage by 15%. Using an elemental blast increases Cryo's damage bonus by 30% for 10 seconds.
