Ganyu’s signature bow. Flat and % ATK scalings are nice, but it’s the Strong-Willed weapon ability that really makes this the Best-in-Slot option for any DPS build on Ganyu. A 12% DMG increase to all basic attacks (charged or otherwise) is great, but Ganyu can really abuse the stacking DMG that increases the longer arrows stay in flight.<\/p>\n While other characters may have to stand well back to make the most out of this bow, the bloom delay on Frostflake Arrow (Ganyu’s Charge Level 2 basic attack) exploding counts as “in flight” for the purposes of Strong-Willed. In practice, that means Ganyu gets a minimum of 4 stacks even at point-blank range<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Yeah, Amos’ Bow is good on Ganyu.<\/p>\n Skyward Harp<\/strong><\/p>\n If Amos’ Bow is BiS, then Skyward Harp is just behind and likely better as a sub-DPS option. Crit Rate, Crit DMG and additional AoE are just what the doctor – or rather Adepti – ordered. Need we say more?<\/p>\n Blackcliff Warbow<\/strong><\/p>\n A good, non-5* option is Blackcliff Warbow. Ganyu can get a lot of innate Crit Rate via her talents, Cryo resonance, and also going full Blizzard Strayer for the set bonus if necessary, that she can happily put more focus onto Crit DMG. Thus, Blackcliff Warbow.<\/p>\n Press the Advantage also plays nicely with Ganyu’s good AoE damage, allowing her to stack the weapon ability on massed enemies and really lay down the hurt. A good choice for either a main or sub-DPS build.<\/p>\n The Stringless<\/strong><\/p>\n A more specific option for Ganyu. The Stringless is a fantastic option for a sub-DPS Ganyu in a melt, or preferably reverse<\/strong> melt team comp. Have Pyro applied as often as possible, then bring out a high Elemental Mastery Ganyu, use her Elemental Skill and Burst with a few charged shots and watch enemies disappear courtesy of all the amps The Stringless provides. Not a generalist option, but worthy of consideration.<\/p>\n The last note must go to Prototype Crescent<\/strong>. If rolls haven’t been going your way, this forgeable option is a solid choice for whatever style of play you favour on Ganyu.<\/p>\n 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale<\/strong> plus 2-piece Blizzard Strayer<\/strong> is the go-to standard on Ganyu. Amped Cryo DMG and straight ATK% are just generically excellent in most scenarios. You can switch out Gladiator’s Finale for Noblesse Oblige<\/strong> for a more sub-DPS intensive option, and that set up is likely to do more damage if you want to use Ganyu as more of a nuke and reaction enabler rather than for her consistent DPS.<\/p>\n 4-Piece Noblesse Oblige<\/strong> takes that a step further. As ever, full Noblesse Oblige makes Ganyu’s Burst all the more devastating and empowers the rest of her team when it’s used. Switch her in, use her Elemental Skill and Burst, then switch out to your main DPS.<\/p>\n A more niche option is 4-piece Wanderer’s Troupe<\/strong>. Elemental Mastery is great for reactions (no surprise) and Ganyu loves<\/em> the +35% Charged Attack DMG with how reliant she is on Frostflake arrows. That said, to get the most out of this set you really do need to run very<\/strong> specific team comps. You must<\/em> have Sucrose or Venti to amp up Elemental Reactions, then you need two off-field Pyro appliers for Melt and Pyro Resonance – in other words Bennett and Xiangling. If you have the team, this combo is devastating and will (all puns intended) absolutely Melt your opponents.<\/p>\n<\/strong>(Picture: miHoYo)<\/span><\/p>\n

Latest artifact set, Blizzard Strayer, is a strong contender for Ganyu. (Picture: miHoYo)<\/span><\/p>\n
