Ganyu Best Weapon

5thPrototype CrescentPrototype CrescentATK 41.3% (Lvl. 90)- ATK sub-stat will increase overall damage- Charged Attacks provides multiple buffs, but does require hitting enemy weak spots

Go For Either Crit Rate or Crit DMG Weapons

Ideally, it's best to have a Crit Rate weapon since this will allow you to build purely Crit DMG in her artifacts. The best weapon for this build is the Polar Star since it not only provides a good chunk of Crit Rate, but its effects are also great with Ganyu.

Best With Crit Rate/Crit DMG Weapons

Since the goal of this build is to cause Melt, having a weapon that can support Crits is good to have since Melt does Crit. Crit Rate weapons are good since this frees up your Artifacts to build her Crit DMG instead.

Will Get The Best Value From Blizzard Strayer

With the Blizzard Strayer, you increase your Cryo DMG bonus, while also getting enought Crit Rate whenever you hit an opponent affected by Cryo. Since your enemies are likely already frozen, the Blizzard Strayer effect will have an almost 100% uptime.

Best Artifact Set Is The Wanderer's Troupe

In a Melt Comp, Ganyu will benefit highly from the Wanderer's Troupe's Elemental Mastery stat. Since most of your damage will be from her Charged Attacks, Wanderer's Troupe's Charged Attack buff is good here.

Uses Of Ganyu's Elemental Skill

Removes Aggro From Ganyu

Ganyu can use her Elemental Skill to keep distance to enemies. It attracts the attention of enemies making them attack the flower instead of Ganyu. Since Ganyu relies on keeping distance and her Charged Attack to deal powerful damage, use this as a distraction.

Uses Of Ganyu's Elemental Burst

Elemental Burst Provides A Wide & Constant Cryo DMG

Her burst only costs 60 energy and last 15 seconds also a 15 second cooldown, making it easy to maintain on the field. Unlocking her talent, Harmony between Heaven and Earth, will also increase the Cryo DMG bonus of the character that stays in its area. This skill effect remains even after switching making it easier to deal elemental combos.

Use Charged Attack To Deal Powerful AoE Damage

The Main Damage Source for Ganyu comes from her Charged Attacks. Note that she has two levels of Charged Attacks. The First level is just like any other Charged Attacks, while the Second Level provides a Bloom effect! Bloom creates additional Cryo damage, dealing multiple instances of Cryo application and DMG!

Second Full Charged Attack Gets An Increase On Critical Rate

Talent

Another powerful aspect in Ganyu's kit is her Passive Talent, Undivided Heart. This increases the Crit Rate of her Bloom. This is basically a free 20% CRIT Rate for Ganyu making her easier to build as a DPS.

One Of The Best DPS Characters

Ganyu

Ganyu is arguably one of the best DPS characters in the game. Easy to use and can easily be slotted in any Cryo-focused team comp, she shines as a main DPS that can dish a ton of damage with her whole kit. Most of her damage is with her charged attack, so she's a bit hard to use when on Mobile and Controllers.

Great At Constellation 1

Ganyu is fairly strong as is, but she gets a significant boost in DMG due to the Cryo Shred she gains at Constellation 1. Constellation 4 is also strong, but at its point, it's too expensive.
