Genshin Impact is a game that has released tons of beloved characters. Out of these, some truly strong DPS characters, including some that use a bow. Ganyu is constantly referred to as one of the strongest characters in the game, especially when she is built correctly.
Ganyu’s Playstyle in Genshin Impact
Ganyu is a five-star cryo bow-user who can be used in aDPSorsupportrole. Her charged shots are her primary source of DPS and, at level two, will create a secondary AoE shot that deals wild damage. If you want to try her as a support, her Elemental Burst is extremely effective at setting up elemental reactions like Melt and Freeze due to its low internal cooldown applying Cryo to enemies rapidly. Because of this adaptability, Ganyu can be used in various team builds.
