Finding the Perfect Gear for Ganyu: A DPS Build Guide
Ganyu is a powerhouse Cryo DPS character in Genshin Impact, known for her incredible damage output. To unleash her full potential, you’ll need to equip her with the right artifact set. There are several options, but some stand out as the best for a pure DPS Ganyu build.
Let’s dive into the most popular choices:
1. Blizzard Strayer (4-piece):
This is considered the go-to set for Ganyu. Here’s why:
- Cryo DMG Bonus: The 2-piece bonus grants a significant boost to Cryo damage.
- Critical Rate: The 4-piece bonus increases your Critical Rate by 20% when hitting a frozen enemy. This is crucial for Ganyu, who thrives on maximizing her critical hits.
- Frozen enemies: Ganyu’s charged attacks are perfect for freezing enemies, allowing you to consistently utilize the 4-piece bonus.
2. Wanderers Troupe (2-piece) + Blizzard Strayer (2-piece):
This is a great alternative if you’re still farming for a full 4-piece Blizzard Strayer. It offers a good balance of damage and utility:
- Wanderers Troupe (2-piece): Provides a boost to Charged Attack DMG.
- Blizzard Strayer (2-piece): Offers the Cryo DMG bonus, further enhancing your Cryo attacks.
3. Shimenawa’s Reminiscence (4-piece):
This set is a contender if you need a bit more energy recharge to fuel Ganyu’s powerful burst, but it comes with a trade-off:
- Energy Recharge: The 2-piece bonus helps you generate more energy, which is crucial for Ganyu’s burst, especially when paired with other Cryo characters.
- Attack: The 4-piece bonus increases your Attack, but at the cost of 15 Energy when using your Elemental Burst.
Sub-Stats:
Regardless of your chosen artifact set, prioritize the following sub-stats to maximize Ganyu’s DPS:
- Critical Rate: Aim for a 50% Critical Rate, allowing you to land more critical hits.
- Critical DMG: Aim for a high Critical Damage percentage, further increasing your damage output on each critical hit.
- Cryo DMG Bonus: Enhance your Cryo damage for more potent attacks.
- Attack: Increase your overall damage output.
Artifact Farming:
- Blizzard Strayer: Farm the "Peak of Vindagnyr" domain, located in Dragonspine.
- Wanderers Troupe: Farm the "Hidden Palace of Liyue" domain.
- Shimenawa’s Reminiscence: Farm the "Momiji-Dyed Court" domain.
Final Thoughts:
Finding the perfect artifact set is a journey, and it takes time and effort. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get the ideal rolls right away. Keep farming, keep improving, and you’ll eventually have a Ganyu build that melts the competition!
