Here is our complete Ganyu Best Build Guide where you can find the best artifacts and Weapons for Ganyu who serves as the secretary for the Liyue Qixing.
Ganyu is a 5-Star Cryo Character in Genshin Impact. Ganyu is known for being calm and reclusive, having a soft demeanor, which could be attributed to the fact that she is a half-human, half-Qilin hybrid. She is, however, always eager to defend her friends when the occasion comes. She’s been known to go to Wanmin Restaurant for some delectable vegetarian meals.
Ganyu is rather easy to understand, although she does demand a certain amount of skill. Ganyu’s unique Charged Shots account for a large portion of her DPS. You must be able to hit charged shots in order to do so. If you’re not comfortable or sure with your aim, consider using Ganyu as a Support with Noblesse Oblige rather than a primary or sub-DPS. Ganyu is a powerful Cryo character who ranks quite highly on our Genshin Impact Tier List. Here is our Ganyu Best Build Guide

This was our Ganyu Best Build Guide. You can use her to create constant elemental reactions. The best teammates for Ganyu are Chongyun (Elemental Resonance), Tartaglia (Crowd Control and Frozen reaction), Klee (High Melt Damage), Venti (Increase DMG with Swirl).
You’ll practically never employ Ganyu’s basic attacks; instead, focus on her charged attack, which accounts for the majority of her damage. Her elemental burst opens up a lot of possibilities, especially if you want to use elemental reactions for extra damage.
