Liutian Archery
Performs up to 6 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charged Attack
Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG.
While aiming, an icy aura will accumulate on the arrowhead before the arrow is fired. Has different effects based on how long the energy has been charged:
·Charge Level 1: Fires off an icy arrow that deals Cryo DMG.
·Charge Level 2: Fires off a Frostflake Arrow that deals Cryo DMG. The Frostflake Arrow blooms after hitting its target, dealing AoE Cryo DMG.
Plunging Attack
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Trail of the Qilin
Ice Lotus
·Continuously taunts surrounding opponents, attracting them to attack it.
·Endurance scales based on Ganyu's Max HP.
·Blooms profusely when destroyed or once its duration ends, dealing AoE Cryo DMG.
"You saw me, you say? You must be mistaken. I was working overtime then."

Celestial Shower
During its ability duration, the Sacred Cryo Pearl will continuously rain down shards of ice, striking opponents within an AoE and dealing Cryo DMG.
Ganyu can bring down sweet rains as a matter of course. But against demons and heretics, they become bitter, freezing snow.

Builds
Ganyu (Melt DPS) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Ganyu | Update Date: 10/09/2022 | Editor: ChrӨma#3489
• Best Weapon(s):
Provides an enormous amount of DMG% bonus to Charged Attacks. 3 stacks of its passive are guaranteed on her Bloom damage.
Prototype Crescent R5
Assuming she can hit a weakpoint, this bow is competitive with her 5* bows.
Hamayumi R5
A reliable source of DMG boost on normal and charge attacks, buff is further increase by 100% when burst energy is 100.
Early Game Option:
Sharpshooter's Oath
Hits on weakspots are guaranteed to CRIT. Thus, no CRIT Rate is necessary if you're an aim god.
• Replacement Weapon(s):
Thundering Pulse
Excellent unconditional weapon for DPS capability. Its passive is largely wasted due to it providing Normal Attack DMG.
Polar Star
Conditionally excellent if Ganyu stacks its passive by weaving in a Normal Attack before her DPS window (ie. N1EC+).
Skyward Harp
The Viridescent Hunt, Blackcliff Warbow and Hamayumi R5 are all very viable.

Ganyu (Freeze DPS) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Ganyu | Update Date: 02/03/2024 | Editor: ._.samantha._.
• Best Weapon(s):
Regardless of the number of Cryo teammates, this weapon will almost always be best. However, it is not a major change or a must-pull.
Aqua Simulacra
Best unconditional damage focused weapon. Due to a lower Base Attack, Ganyu's damage will scale slightly better with Shenhe's Elemental Skill buff and Bennett's Elemental Burst Flat Attack buff.
Prototype Crescent R5
Assuming she can hit a weakpoint, this bow is competitive with her 5* bows.
Amos' Bow
Provides an enormous amount of DMG% bonus to Charged Attacks. Any team compositions that use them will find Amos' Bow very effective. However, a significant amount of Freeze DPS Ganyu's damage is her Elemental Burst, which it does not buff.
Early Game Option:
Sharpshooter's Oath
Hits in weakspots are guaranteed to CRIT. Thus, no CRIT Rate is necessary if you're an aim god.
• Replacement Weapon(s):
Excellent unconditional weapon for DPS capability. Its passive is largely wasted due to it providing Normal Attack DMG.
Polar Star
Conditionally excellent if Ganyu fully stacks its passive by weaving in a Normal Attack before her DPS window (ie. N1EQC+). Will go over 100% CRIT Rate against Frozen enemies with 4pc Blizzard Strayer and Cryo Resonance, thus losing value.
Skyward Harp
Great unconditional damage option. The CRIT Rate stat is not ideal, as it raises the likelihood that Ganyu goes over 100% CRIT Rate with artifact substats against frozen enemies.
Mounn's Moon, The Viridescent Hunt, Blackcliff Warbow and Hamayumi R5 are all very viable.

• Notes:
Ganyu (Burst Support) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Ganyu | Update Date: 08/06/2022 | Editor: LordOfEnnui#8710
• Best Weapon(s):
Best damage focused weapon. Ganyu's Elemental Burst snapshots its 20% DMG bonus when near enemies, so ranged on-field DPS' are not a problem.
Elegy for the End
Great for team compositions based on Reactions. Its Elemental Mastery and ATK% buffs are very helpful. The ER stat is great for her, as running ER sands may no longer be necessary in some teams. On others, it can be a loss for her personal DPS but is usually made up for by the gain in team DPS.
Favonius Warbow
Conditionally very good; as Ganyu gets CRIT Rate from many sources, getting its passive off can be consistent depending on the team composition, decreasing ER requirements and thus increasing potential team DPS. Note that it only activates when she is on-field.
• Replacement Weapon(s):
Excellent weapon for sub-DPS capability. Its passive is largely wasted due to it providing Normal Attack DMG.
Polar Star
Conditionally excellent in comps that can fully or partially stack its passive by weaving a Charged Attack and/or a Normal Attack into Ganyu's rotation window (ie. N1CEQ) without it being a DPS loss. Will go over 100% CRIT Rate against Frozen enemies with 4pc Blizzard Strayer and Cryo Resonance, thus losing value.
Skyward Harp
Great unconditional damage option. The CRIT Rate stat is not ideal, as it raises the likelihood that Ganyu goes over 100% CRIT Rate with artifact substats against frozen enemies.
Prototype Crescent R5
Assuming she can take the time to hit a weakpoint, this bow is competitive with her 5* bows.
Mounn's Moon, The Viridescent Hunt, The Stringless, Alley Hunter, Blackcliff Warbow are all very viable. Most DPS bows can be viable in comps that use some Charged Attacks.

DefaultGanyu's outfit. Elegant clothes blessed by the mighty and illuminated adepti.
Twilight Blossom
A light and graceful festive outfit accented mainly in black nightshade and cerulean blue. Its hair accessory is as radiant as the Qingxin — a pairing that Ganyu is most fond of.
Though many in Liyue are fascinated by life in Yujing Terrace, its day-to-day operations and rules are a mystery to them. They are aware that the Liyue Qixing are the cream of the crop who hold the fate of the city in their hands, but the calculations and data behind the Qixing's every decision are far harder to grasp. The people understand that the new policies announced each year will change the dynamics of the market, yet none can comprehend how policy is plucked from complex meeting minutes and compiled into something easier on the human eye. As the secretary of Yuehai Pavilion, Ganyu undertakes many tasks that ordinary folk do not see. For those that have witnessed her standing by the dock at daybreak, enjoying her breakfast in silence, it is difficult to imagine her in such a post. Even still, by the time the sun has fully risen, she will have returned to Yuehai Pavilion overlooking Yujing Terrace, to continue to fulfill her contract. A contract that she signed three thousand years ago with Rex Lapis.
Copy that! Here is a draft Service Agreement for your review and consideration. Effective immediately, if all is in order... Ah! Wait a sec, wait a sec, I forgot to sign it... Gan... Yu... There. Right. Now... What was it you needed me to do for you exactly?
