Alright, let’s talk about building Ganyu as a DPS powerhouse using a Cryo damage goblet! She’s a fantastic Cryo character, and with the right setup, she can melt through enemies like a hot knife through butter.
Focus on Cryo Damage:
- Goblet: You’ve already got the most important piece – the Cryo Damage Goblet! This is the core of your build, and it’s going to boost her Cryo attacks significantly.
- Circlet: Aim for a Crit Rate or Crit Damage circlet. Ganyu needs both to be a consistent damage dealer. If you’re finding that you’re not hitting crits often enough, you’ll want to prioritize Crit Rate. If you’re hitting crits but not doing enough damage, then Crit Damage is the way to go.
- Sands: Go for an ATK% sands. This boosts your overall damage output.
Getting the Right Artifacts:
- Farm the Blizzard Strayer Set: This set is Ganyu’s best friend! It’s a 4-piece set, and the bonuses it provides are perfect for her.
- 2-Piece Bonus: Cryo Damage bonus – even more Cryo power!
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases Cryo damage by 15% and when you hit an enemy with a Cryo attack, their Cryo resistance is lowered by 40% for 10 seconds. This is amazing for maximizing your damage.
- Consider the Wanderer’s Troupe Set: This set can be great if you’re facing enemies that are weak to another element (like Pyro).
- 2-Piece Bonus: Increases Elemental Damage bonus
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases damage by 35% when using Elemental Skill attacks. (This bonus can work well with Ganyu’s charged attacks because they are technically her Elemental Skill.)
Additional Tips:
- Weapon Choice: The Amos’ Bow is the best-in-slot weapon for Ganyu. It gives a significant boost to her charged attack damage. If you don’t have it, the Prototype Crescent or the Stringless are great alternatives.
- Substats: Look for artifacts with these substats to maximize Ganyu’s damage:
- Crit Rate/Damage: These are your top priority.
- ATK%: Boost your overall damage.
- Energy Recharge: This is important for maintaining your Elemental Burst.
- Team Composition: Ganyu shines in teams that provide Cryo or Cryo reactions (Melt or Freeze). Try pairing her with characters like Xiangling (for Melt), Chongyun (for Freeze), or Rosaria (for Cryo support).
Remember: Artifact farming is a long process, so be patient! It can take time to get the perfect set. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t have the absolute best artifacts right away. Just keep farming and experimenting to find what works best for you!
