For Ganyu, the best artifact set for Off-Field DPS and Freeze teams is the 4-piece Blizzard Strayer set. This set gives a 15% Cryo damage bonus and increases CRIT Rate against frozen enemies. If you want to use Ganyu in a Melt team where freezing isn’t as crucial, you can use the 4-piece Shimenawa’s Reminiscence set or the 4-piece Wanderer’s Troupe set. For Off-Field DPS, another good option is to use 2-piece Noblesse Oblige and 2-piece Blizzard Strayer sets.
Ganyu Weapons Desc
For Ganyu as a DPS character, the best weapon is Aqua Simulacra. This weapon not only increases HP but also provides a significant boost to CRIT DMG, making it highly effective for maximizing Ganyu’s damage output.
Other strong options include the 5-star Skyward Harp, which offers a substantial boost to basic attack stats, a bit of CRIT Rate, and increased CRIT DMG. Another excellent 5-star alternative is Amos’ Bow, known for its impressive damage potential.
In the 4-star category, you can consider the Prototype Crescent, which is good for enhancing Ganyu’s damage, or The Stringless, which provides additional elemental skill and burst damage. Each of these weapons can effectively boost Ganyu’s performance depending on your playstyle and team setup.

Ganyu Overview
Ganyu is a 5-star Cryo character in Genshin Impact who uses a bow in battle. Her charged attack increases damage by aiming at enemies. Her Icy Arrow and Frostflake Arrow deal Cryo damage. When the Frostflake Arrow hits its target, it explodes, dealing Cryo damage to a wider area.
Her Elemental Skill, Trail of the Qilin, generates Cryo particles and uses an Ice Lotus to DMG enemies. When the Ice Lotus is destroyed, it deals Cryo damage to enemies in an area.
Ganyu’s Elemental Burst, Celestial Shower, summons Sacred Cryo Pearls that continuously rain ice shards down, dealing Cryo damage to enemies in a wide area. Her Burst also benefits from her Passive Talent, Harmony Between Heaven and Earth, which gives an extra Cryo damage bonus to active party members during the Burst.
