Ningguang Skill Guide & How To Use Ningguang
Recommended Rotation For Ningguang
Recommended Rotation
1
Use Elemental Skill, then pass through its veil
2
Spam normal attacks until you get 3 Star Jades. Unleash Charged Attack for additional damage

Uses Of Ningguang's Elemental Skill
Creates A Protective Veil Against Projectiles
Besides the Geo buff, the veil can also protect characters from incoming projectiles. However, because the Skill can be destroyed, this is not a reliable way of escaping enemy attacks.
Amplifies Geo Damage
A character that passes through the veil of Ningguang's Elemental Skill receives Geo DMG bonus. This is a set-up ability and should be used before going on the offensive.
Additional Projectiles Upon Using Elemental Burst
While the veil is active, it retracts and produces additional projectiles when Ningguang has used Elemental Burst.
Uses Of Ningguang's Elemental Burst
Explosive Geo Burst Damage
Ningguang's Elemental Burst is a purely offensive ability. Unleash it as much as you can with the right set-up to get the most out of it.
Constellation 6 Greatly Increases The Damage Created
At Constellation 6, Ningguang's Elemental Burst will create 6 Star Jades that will greatly increase the damage of your next charged attack through its raw power.
Normal Attack & Charge Attack Is The Main Source Of Damage
When using Ningguang as a DPS, most of the damage will come from the combination of Normal Attacks and Charged Attacks.
Perform 3 Normal Attacks Then Use Charged Attack
Every Normal Attack that hit the enemies will create Star Jades. You can unleash these jades by using Charged Attack.
