Okay, let’s talk about maximizing Ganyu’s burst damage! She’s a powerful Cryo DPS, and her ultimate, "Frostflake Blizzard," is her bread and butter. To make that burst hit like a truck, you need to get the right artifacts.
Prioritize the Right Stats
1. The "Big Three":
- Cryo Damage Bonus: This is a no-brainer. It directly increases the damage of all your Cryo attacks, including your burst.
- Critical Rate: This is your chance to deal a bonus critical hit. Aim for a good balance with your Critical Damage.
- Critical Damage: When a critical hit occurs, this stat increases the damage even further.
2. The "Important But Not Essential":
- Attack%: While not as powerful as the other stats, this still increases your burst damage. It’s a good backup if you’re struggling to get enough Cryo Damage.
- Energy Recharge: This helps you get your burst back faster. If you’re having trouble getting enough energy, a little extra Energy Recharge can be helpful.
Artifact Set Choices:
1. Blizzard Strayer (4-Piece): This is the undisputed king for Ganyu’s burst. Here’s why:
- Bonus 1: Increases Cryo damage by 15%.
- Bonus 2: When you hit an enemy with a Cryo attack, your Crit Rate increases by 20% for 15 seconds. This is huge for making sure you’re consistently getting critical hits on your burst.
2. Wanderer’s Troupe (2-Piece) + Blizzard Strayer (2-Piece): If you’re having trouble getting enough Critical Rate, this combo can help.
- Wanderer’s Troupe (2-Piece): Increases your ATK% by 18%. This provides a nice damage boost to your overall output.
- Blizzard Strayer (2-Piece): You still get the 15% Cryo Damage bonus from this set, but you’ll lose the Critical Rate boost from the full 4-piece.
3. Glacial (4-Piece): This is less common but still viable. It can provide a small boost in specific situations:
- Bonus 1: Increases your Cryo Damage by 20%.
- Bonus 2: Increases damage by 20% if the enemy is affected by Cryo. This extra boost is helpful, but the lack of Crit Rate makes it less powerful than Blizzard Strayer.
Artifact Farming:
- Blizzard Strayer: Farm the "Peak of Vindagnyr" domain.
- Wanderer’s Troupe: Farm the "Momiji-Dyed Court" domain.
- Glacial: Farm the "Peak of Vindagnyr" domain.
Important Notes:
- Substats: Don’t forget about substats! They are crucial for overall damage output. Prioritize Cryo Damage, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and ATK%.
- Artifact Grinding: Be patient! Getting good artifacts takes time and effort. Don’t give up, and you’ll eventually have a set that will make your Ganyu’s burst explode!
- Team Composition: Consider your team composition. Having characters who can apply Cryo to enemies (like Rosaria or Diona) will help you benefit from the Blizzard Strayer set.
Now you have the knowledge to go out there and build a Ganyu that melts anything in her path. Happy farming!
