Ningguang Best Weapon

Ningguang Main DPS Weapon

Best Weapons For Main DPS Build

	Weapon	Details
Best	Lost Prayer To The Sacred Winds	CRIT Rate 33.1% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT Rate makes it convenient to achieve good CRIT stat ratio - Gain stacks that give Elemental DMG Bonus the longer Ningguang stays on the field (max 4 stacks) └ Disappears when switching Ningguang out or when she dies

Aim For CRIT Stat & Damage Multipliers

Every projectile, from Normal & Charged Attack to Elemental Skill & Burst, can deal powerful damage to the enemy. While CRIT stat is undoubtedly the best stat for every main DPS, it is also great to use a catalyst that can provide a lot of damage multipliers.

Nigguang Support Weapon

Best Weapons For Support Build

	Weapon	Details
Best	Skyward Atlas	ATK 33.1% (Lvl. 90) - Increases Elemental DMG - ATK% increases overall damage - During Normal Attack, has a chance to summon a wisp that can deal additional damage periodically
2nd	The Widsith	CRIT DMG 55.1% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT DMG makes it convenient to achieve good CRIT stat ratio - Random passives can be maximized with quick swap └ The passive that gives ATK% & Elemental DMG buff are both great for Ningguang
3rd	Favonius Codex	Energy Recharge 45.9% (Lvl. 90) - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Chance to provide more Energy periodically upon CRIT Hits └ Good battery for other characters in the team
F2P	Mappa Mare	Elemental Mastery 110 (Lvl. 90) - Stacks give Elemental DMG Bonus (max 2 stacks) - Craftable which makes it easier to refine ※ Keep in mind that EM substat is useless for Ningguang
F2P	Prototype Amber	HP 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - Recover a small amount of HP & Energy - Craftable which makes it easier to refine ※ Keep in mind that HP substat is useless for Ningguang
F2P	Thrilling Tales Of Dragon Slayers	HP 35.2% (Lvl. 90) - Can provide ATK% buff periodically to the next character that takes the field - Easy to refine & upgrade since it is 3* ※ Keep in mind that HP substat is useless for Ningguang

Quick Swap Playstyle Can Deal Powerful Damage

Since this playstyle is a quick swap, it is good to invest with catalysts that do not require Ningguang to be on the field for too long. For instance, the best & 2nd in the list are fit for a quick swap playstyle while the remaining can provide support to the other characters in the team.

Geo DMG Bonus & ATK-Boosting Artifacts Work Best

DPS Ningguang scales on ATK and Geo DMG. Using an artifact set that can increase both works great for Ningguang. Since she actively uses her Elemental Skill in battle, Nighttime Whispers is a great option for her.

Use A Complete Noblesse Oblige If You Want A Buffer

Whenever Ningguang uses her Burst, the effect of 4-piece Noblesse Oblige gives ATK% buff to everyone in the team. Only use a complete Noblesse Oblige if you do not have another character that uses it in the team since the buff does not stack.

Ningguang Skill Guide & How To Use Ningguang

Recommended Rotation For Ningguang

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.

Should You Pull for Ningguang's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Aim For C6 if You're Able To

C6 Is Ideal For Damage

If you have the means to do, Ningguang's C6 will be her best constellation performance-wise as a Geo DPS character, since this allows Starshatter to generate more Star Jades, further improving the damage output from one Charge Attack. Getting her to C6 is the ideal scenario, but you can settle for her C2, due to her Skill cooldown reset allowing you to combo a Skill, then Burst, then Skill again, which is a nice boost to her damage per rotation while also lowering her Energy requirements.

Ningguang's damage may not be as impressive as other characters in the same niche, but if you would really want to invest in her and want to see her perform decently outside of investing into her weapon and premiere supports, then her constellations are going to be the first step. As a note, always consider your preferences and fund availability prior to pulling.
