Level Up Your Ganyu: A No-Nonsense Guide to Her Ascension Materials
You have a Ganyu in Genshin Impact. Good pick. This Cryo archer is a beast in battle. Before you unleash her power, you need materials. Gather what you need. We will detail exactly this without the fluff.
Ascension? More Like Material-Gathering Marathon
Let’s discuss Ascension. Ganyu requires specific items for her level caps. It’s about her becoming even stronger. You will farm gems called Shivada Jade in various sizes. Here’s the list:
- Shivada Jade Sliver: Just one needed. A Cryo appetizer.
- Shivada Jade Fragment: Nine are required. Things are getting serious.
- Shivada Jade Gemstone: Six needed for the final Ascension. This is the big leagues.
Where can you get these jewels? Cryo Regisvines and Cryo Hypostases are best. They drop Jade upon defeat. Good for monster hunting.
Talent Level-Ups: Making Ganyu Smarter and Stronger
Ascension unlocks levels. But Talents refine abilities. Leveling these raises her power. Prepare for some grinding. It’s worth it when you see those Frostflake Arrows hit hard.
- Level Books: Even mythic beings need knowledge. Gather a mountain of these.
- Mora: Essential currency in Teyvat. Always more needed.
- Guide to Diligence: Start with nine of these books. Ganyu is diligent, be diligent in farming.
- Philosophies of Diligence: Here’s the ramp-up. You’ll need:
- 4x Philosophies of Diligence
- 6x Philosophies of Diligence
- 12x Philosophies of Diligence
These come from the Taishan Mansion Domain on specific days. Mark it on your calendar.
- Shadow of the Warrior: A boss material from Childe in his weekly fight. You must confront a Harbinger for Ganyu’s full potential.
- Dream Solvent: Bad luck with drops? It converts other boss materials into Shadow of the Warrior.
Character Ascension Specifics: Qingxin Flowers for a Qingxin Girl
Ganyu also needs Qingxin Flowers to ascend. These flowers grow in Liyue, atop mountains like stubborn tourists.
- Qingxin Flower: She needs many. Ganyu apparently snacks on them, too.
- These flowers grow only in Liyue, especially around Jueyun Karst and Minlin. They prefer high places like Ganyu.
- Fun fact: Ganyu also likes Glaze Lily. She may love flowers or clever advertising.
Weaponry: Equipping Ganyu for Maximum Mayhem
A good bow is necessary for an archer. For Ganyu, a few stand out. Here are some armaments:
- Amos’ Bow: This is Ganyu’s best bow, boosting damage for Charged Attacks.
- If you want max damage, this is essential.
- F2P Friendly Options: Not every player has a 5-star bow. Here are some good lower-tier options:
- Prototype Crescent (4-star): Craftable and beneficial if you hit weak points.
- Hamayumi (4-star): Another craftable bow that gives consistent boosts.
- Other 5-Star Bows: If Amos’ Bow isn’t available, consider other 5-star bows:
- Skyward Harp (5-star): Great for burst damage.
- Aqua Simulacra (5-star): Pumps up Ganyu’s damage output.
- Polar Star, Hunter’s Path, Thundering Pulse: Each provides unique strengths.
- Blackcliff Warbow: A decent 4-star option from the Starglitter Exchange.
Artifacts: Gearing Up for Optimal Performance
Artifacts boost Ganyu’s power. Choosing right sets enhances effectiveness significantly. Here’s an overview:
- 4-piece Wanderer’s Troupe: Essential for Melt Ganyu as it boosts Charged Attack damage.
- If big Charged Attack numbers matter, choose Wanderer’s Troupe.
- 4-piece Blizzard Strayer: Best for Freeze teams, enhancing Cryo damage and Crit Rate against frozen foes.
- If your focus is Freeze reactions, equip Blizzard Strayer.
- 4pc Shimenawa’s Reminiscence: Good to consider, but it cuts Elemental Burst energy. It boosts Attack and other attack forms more.
Team Compositions: Surrounding Ganyu with the Right Crew
Ganyu excels solo, yet teamwork in Genshin is crucial. A solid team maximizes potential. Here are some team setups:
- Freeze Teams: Ideal for freezing enemies.
- Hydro Unit (e.g., Kokomi): Key for Hydro application and enabling Freeze. Kokomi shines here.
- Melt Teams: Aiming for Melt reaction for major damage.
- Pyro Characters (e.g., Hu Tao, Diluc): Proper Pyro application matters for Melt damage.
- Crowd Control: Gathering foes amplifies Ganyu’s AoE attacks.
- Anemo Characters (e.g., Venti): They gather foes, making Ganyu’s damage worth it.
- Shields: Protecting Ganyu allows continuous attacks without hindrance.
- Geo Characters (e.g., Zhongli): He provides the ultimate shield necessary for survival.
- Mono-Cryo Teams: Maximize Cryo damage output.
- Mono-Cryo Comps (e.g., Ayaka): Teaming with Ayaka amplifies Ganyu’s Cryo effectiveness!
Stats to Aim For: The Numbers Game
Determining important stats optimizes Ganyu’s build. Prioritize these:
- Attack (ATK): Drives her damage directly.
- Critical Rate (CRIT Rate) & Critical Damage (CRIT DMG): They determine crit frequency and severity. Get a balance here!
- Damage Bonus: Focus on Cryo Damage Bonus to raise her Cryo output more.
Bonus Round: Coconut Milk and Prosperous Peace
A few interesting tidbits about Ganyu:
- Coconut Milk: Ganyu thought it was milk from a mythic beast. Her naive heart is pure.
- Prosperous Peace: Ganyu’s special dish! Based on Universal Peace, a real-life recipe now exists!
You have everything to gather materials and enhance Ganyu now. Go ahead, farm resources, and let Ganyu freeze Teyvat into a playground!
