Ganyu and the Dragonspine region, a chilly environment packed with frosty minions, introduced in the 1.2 update.

BEST GENSHIN IMPACT GANYU DPS BUILD
This DPS build focuses on maximising Ganyu’s passive abilities, particularly Undivided Heart, which can be incredibly effective in the right setup. You’ll want to equip the Wanderer’s Troupe artefact set, which, when fully built, greatly improves Ganyu’s charged attack damage. This has an effect not only on the Frostlake Arrow, but also on its AoE bloom effect, which deals tremendous damage to numerous opponents.
If you can’t afford the entire Wander’s Troupe artefact set, look for artefacts that boost Cryo damage, critical damage, and base attacks. The Dew Drinker constellation quickly restores two energy after firing a Frostlake Arrow, therefore regaining energy isn’t as important.
To deliver as much damage as possible, we’ve chosen Amos’ Bow as Ganyu’s weapon. This bow enhances regular and charged damage by 12%, which is ideal for Ganyu’s Frostlake Arrows’ bloom effect.
BEST GENSHIN IMPACT GANYU SUPPORT BUILD
Ganyu’s Cryo powers allow her to contribute to the squad even when she not engaged in combat, making her an excellent support character. That’s not to say Ganyu won’t help out by dealing a lot of damage, but you can simply freeze foes so your other party members can strike without interruption.
Equip the Blizzard Strayer artefact set, which greatly increases Cryo damage, to get the most out of Ganyu’s Cryo skills. When you complete the Blizzard Strayer set, your party’s critical hit rate increases by 20%, and it increases by another 20% if the adversary frozen. You can boost this even more by equipping the Skyward Harp, which increases critical damage by 20%.
Despite the fact that Ganyu can used as a support character, her skill set is far stronger at doing massive quantities of damage. We recommend sticking with the DPS build because Ganyu’s damage output is currently unrivalled.
