Ganyu’s seen some unexpected changes with the release of 3.0, so this video will explain everything you need to know (new AND old players) about Ganyu’s relevance to the game and more specifically the meta.
Slight correction: In the video I mention that Ganyu “generally enjoys shields” when I should have nuanced one aspect of that statement a bit better: In the right situations in freeze teams and when you’re rotating correctly, she will not need a shielder.

Evidently. She's the best explotation DPS right now since she doesn't trigger unwanted dendro lame reactions.
Ganyu literally pulled me throught this new abyss rotation. She's a literal beast! Lover her sm. She's a must pull
I got Ganyu right before I fell into the rabbithole of artifact farming so I had 4 pc blizzard with 38/208 after just a week of farming and never considered improving her more. She’s by far my least invested character in my comps and is my go-to for bosses and domains. She’s powerful in the open world and I’ve only ever used melt Ganyu in the abyss. I usually run Zhongli, Xiangling, Bennett with her on one side and it’s very laid-back compared to my other team. That being said, I do actively avoid using her in open world simply because of how easy she makes things, running Klee and Tighnari which are my other dps units (and former Yanfei) instead.
100% would pull for her. I only have one problem tho… mobile user :3
Dendro just made electro more meta and it needed that. The new bloom and aggravate reaction is fun to play but is just the new thing for now. Cryo and pyro are still powerful but just less used now because they are less useful in overworld… pull who you want you wont be disappointed by the workaholic qilin 🤙
One thing to consider is that she makes the general game almost boring to play. Having really high damage at a really long range makes everything super easy. With that being said i love to use her she is great.
If you have amos bow you can't go wrong with ganyu
get the cocogoat
Make a Ayaka video pls, I see now in the video the you talk about Ayaka haha sorry
Gah
congratulations fam!!!
Ganyu os boring asf lol just weak waifu bait.. ya’ll waste primos on whatever though
Ganyu is an amazing character for 99% of actual gameplay, since most people probably do Abyss once and done. Ganyu trivializes daily commissions and pretty much all enemies that aren't cryo-immune, and she can do it from 100m away with zero setup lol.
Why is everyone obsessed with her
Ganyu still carries abyss for me. Heck I would also say that this round of abyss is much easier for her.
Julius Pringles thanksgiving ca early
8:11 damn that caught me by surprise
I have Ayaka but not any good artefact for her while Ganyu… I don’t have her but got almost a full perfect artefact set for her so I’m going to pull her. Going to see what she can do with Dendro but for now I have C6 Xianxling and C5 Benett with Zhongli at C0.
I already got a mini ganyu so id save my gems for either cyno or kusanali ✌️
Propably my most broken unit with several cr 50 artifacts and amos but the playstyle is sooooo boring to me and charge times are terrible expecially when your ping is high on phone or when my 5 kids are all on the internet while on ps4
As a ganyu mains, l can finally say that I am a waifu over meta player
She is one of my party completing daily quest along with kazuha!!! They are fast and efficient! 😀
Even if she isn't "relevant" or "good for meta", she did accidentally choke a monster to death with her thicc behind so if you want her for that bit of hilarious info go for it.
Yes she is. I just finished building her for the first time and she has been killing everything her arrows can touch. Too broken.
Don't use her in abyss anymore but pretty much a permanent member for overworld.
Should I pull for her? I still don't have a 5-star dps character
Been a Ganyu main since her first rerun and all I can say is she's a comfortable DPS. You don't have to activate skills, subdps, whatever, just go ham and aim that arrows at mobs and she kills enemies for you. No need for that hassle of setup. Different case for abyss of course but I used Ganyu on every single 36 clears I've done so there's that.
Lol dendro is not meta. Melt and VAPE > Bloom/aggravate etc
Im new to genshin and played with a free team : amber (lvl40), kaeya (lvl 50), xiangling (getting her to 50), and Noelle (im an upcoming noelle main). I realize that I love playing bow characters and I can literally cheese every world boss just by hidin and shootin', and I heard about ganyu for so long. I want her to replace my amber (which is why she only lvl40) since I realize amber is so useless when she isn't cheesing. So i was thinking of doing a thicc portecc + dmg + healing from my noelle, xiangling sub dps, kaeya sub dps, and ganyu main dps strat, would that work or does the elements just not work with each other (i still dont understand this whole elemental reaction shi since im a casual.
The fact that plants don't react with cold water it's strange
Run Ganyu & Ayaka together for Cryo supremacy: EZ
U guys are acting like dendro meta will last forever 😂
8:23 totally agree. Ayaka is easier to use, very well suited for abyss. Ganyu is not that easy to use as DPS, but she has a lot of flexibility and her utility is probably the best among all DPS.
oh the fridge team you used (ganyu kazuha kokomi collei) is exactly the team i used in one of my runs this abyss lol (second side being heizounational, no 5* weapon :D). Id like to note tho. I was being funny and my ganyu is 100% off field with an er bow, and kokomi had 4p clam with em/em/healing bonus. somehow i got all stars lol (i did post it on my channel, since it was quite fun).
That aside I agree with all your points. I have ayaka for longer than I have ganyu, so I find ayaka easier to play. Overall I do think ayaka is much more simple to use (and therefore squeeze in more dmg that isn't lost by interruption and missed shots lol), but ganyu is more interesting if you like trying different comps. The typical morgana or melt ganyu are just basic, you can use her as cryo support (as I mostly do) in many teams. For example, I like using her with ayaka on mono cryo, but freeze also works amazingly well (particularly if you have kokomi but alas). And I also using her as support not for another cryo dps, but rather for teams like fridge (bloom + freeze) and kokomi teams in which she is on field with 4p clam (so kokomi + cryo + electro + flex, usually an anemo but can be a battery like xingqiu).
So like, pull for her if you like her playstyle. If you have ayaka you really don't need her unless, again, you want to try smth different (reason why I pulled, I always intended to make her my support for the heck of it, even tho rosaria fulfills the same role, sometimes better). so yeah
not gonna change my decision the cocogoat guaranteed her spot in my party (unless i lost which nahida or nilou can take her place either way win win) my copium R3 amos bow is been sitting in ambers hand for 2 years ever since i got it from skyward banner
Ganyu is mid
8:10
Bro went from 👨to🧔♂️
I think she was rerun for Nilou in 3.1..
Ganyu is a character that doesn't need constalation, and need no energy or battery to be played.
She is also very good with F2P craftable weapon, and she can fill multiple rolls at once.
As much as I dislike her playstyle, she is a very very cost efficient character for F2P and Low spender.
She is not stronger than Ayaka, but Ayaka is a DPS that require battery to play and depend on her Q.
Ganyu needs nothing.
If you don't like any of them, and you're broke, Ganyu is really cheap as a character.
