Synergy Of Freeze Ganyu Team
| Character | Detail |
|---|---|
| Shenhe | She can provide buffs for boosting normal & charged attacks, Skill, Burst, and Cryo DMG which is beneficial for Ganyu. She can also provide ATK buff to the team with Noblesse Oblige x4. |
| Kazuha | He can shred the enemies' resistance with Viridescent Venerer x4 while providing decent crowd control, and an elemental damage bonus with his Burst. |
| Kokomi | An excellent healer who can consistently apply Hydro for sustaining Freeze. With Thrilling Tales & Tenacity artifact, she can also provide an ATK buff that can benefit both Ganyu & Shenhe. |
The objective of this team is to funnel all buffs to Ganyu while sustaining the Freeze status on enemies so Ganyu can freely hit the enemies. Kazuha's Freedom-Sworn also increases Ganyu's normal & charged attacks when the effect has been triggered.
Variation Of Morgana Team
▼Morgana team is a team comp that can trigger Freeze consistently which immobilizes the enemies. This team is widely known since it offers a safe yet effective combat environment for Ganyu.
Pros & Cons Of Freeze Ganyu Team
| Pros | - Ganyu can deal heavy damage consistently thru charged ATK - Sustained Freeze can halt enemies' action - Can focus on raising CRIT DMG since Ganyu's passive talent & Cryo resonance can already provide CRIT Rate |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Not all enemies can be frozen like bosses and those with immunity to Cryo - Removing Cryo shield could be hard - Amos' Bow effect is not optimized when attacking near the target |
Rotation Of Freeze Ganyu Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Ganyu's Elemental Burst to apply Cryo on enemies |
| 2 | Use Ganyu's Elemental Skill for taunt |
| 3 | Switch to Kazuha |
| 4 | Use Kazuha's Elemental Burst for Cryo-Swirl then Elemental Skill for crowd control |
| 5 | Switch to Kokomi |
| 6 | Use Kokomi's Elemental Skill to trigger Freeze |
| 7 | Switch to Shenhe |
| 8 | Use Shenhe's Elemental Burst for Cryo DMG Bonus |
| 9 | Use Shenhe's Elemental Skill for buff: Press for boosting Skill & Burst & Hold for boosting NA/CA/PA |
| 10 | Switch to Ganyu |
| 11 | Use Ganyu's Frostflake Arrow thru CA |
From time to time, you can switch to Kazuha if you need crowd control. If he triggers Cryo-Swirl, the resistance shred debuff is refreshed.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Shenhe | RosariaMonaAyato | - Rosaria can provide CRIT Rate buff - Mona is a great off-field Hydro DPS and buffer - Ayato's Burst is great to pair with Ganyu's Burst for maintaining Freeze status |
| Kazuha | VentiSucroseZhongli | - If you do not have Kazuha, you can replace him with another Anemo support for resistance shred & crowd control - Zhongli is an excellent shielder for protecting Ganyu while attacking but his monolith could shatter frozen enemies |
| Kokomi | BarbaraDiona | - Similar to Kokomi, Barbara is a great healer & Hydro applicator - Diona is a great shielder, healer, & battery for Ganyu |
If you are going to change Shenhe to a Hydro applicator, consider changing one of the members of the team to Cryo for resonance. The CRIT Rate from Cryo Resonance stacks with the CRIT Rate from Ganyu's Undivided Heart passive.
Original Morgana Team Comp
This was the original composition of Morgana team and a lot of variations became available since more Cryo, Anemo, & Hydro characters have been released over time.
Reverse Melt Ganyu Team Comp
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Ganyu | Hunter's Path Blizzard Strayer x2 Any ATK x2 Main Sands: ATK Goblet: Cryo DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT DMG Sub 1. CRIT DMG 2. CRIT Rate 3. ATK% 4. Energy Recharge / Elemental Mastery |
Xiangling | Staff of the Scarlet Sands Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main Sands: ATK Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT DMG Sub 1. CRIT DMG 2. CRIT Rate 3. ATK% 4. Energy Recharge |
Nahida | A Thousand Floating Dreams Gilded Dreams x4 Main Sands: EM Goblet: Dendro DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG Sub 1. CRIT DMG 2. CRIT Rate 3. EM 4. Energy Recharge |
Zhongli | Black Tassel Tenacity of the Millelith x4 Main Sands: HP Goblet: HP Circlet: HP Sub 1. HP% 2. Flat HP |
Synergy Of Reverse Melt Ganyu Team
| Character | Detail |
|---|---|
| Xiangling | An excellent off-field Pyro DPS who can trigger a Burning reaction with Nahida's mark & reverse Melt with Ganyu. Also, Guoba's chili can increase Ganyu's ATK when approached. |
| Nahida | She can sustain the Burning status on the enemies so Ganyu can consistently trigger Melt reaction. In addition, Nahida's Burst increases the team's EM which boosts the damage of all reactions. |
| Zhongli | A great shielder who can decrease the enemies' resistance and provide ATK buff to the team with Tenacity of the Millelith x4. |
The objective of this team is to trigger Burning for Ganyu to reverse Melt. This team is flexible and can simultaneously defeat enemies.
Trigger Melt From Afar
Since Nahida can mark enemies from a distance, you can damage the enemies simultaneously when Xiangling triggers a Burning reaction. When the marked enemies are already burning, use Ganyu's Frostflake Arrow to trigger Melt.
Pros & Cons Of Reverse Melt Ganyu Team
| Pros | - Ganyu can deal heavy damage consistently thru reverse Melt - All members in the team can inflict decent damage even when Ganyu is the active character - Numerous buffs & debuffs that can further boost not only Ganyu's damage output but also Xiangling & Nahida |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Difficult to utilize if you are facing an enemy with a debuff that can ignore shield such as corrosion - Xiangling's Pyro application must be consistent for sustained Burning |
Rotation Of Reverse Melt Ganyu Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Zhongli's Elemental Skill for shield |
| 2 | Switch to Nahida |
| 3 | Use Nahida's Elemental Skill to mark enemies |
| 4 | Switch to Xiangling |
| 5 | Use Xiangling's Elemental Skill & Burst to trigger Burning |
| 6 | Switch to Nahida |
| 7 | Use Nahida's Elemental Burst for buff |
| 8 | Switch to Ganyu |
| 9 | Use Ganyu's Elemental Burst for Cryo DMG bonus |
| 10 | Use Ganyu's Elemental Skill for taunt |
| 11 | Use Ganyu's Frostflake Arrow thru CA |
From time to time, you can switch to Zhongli to refresh the shield's duration. You can also use Zhongli's Burst for crowd control.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Xiangling | DehyaAyatoMona | - Dehya is also a decent Pyro applicator who can trigger Burning to an enemy affected with Dendro - Bennett with Nahida is sufficient for Burning. If you want to have a variety of elemental reactions, you could opt for off-field Hydro DPS |
| Nahida | ColleiKazuhaAlbedo | - If you do not have Nahida, you can pick another support that is beneficial for the whole team - For instance, Kazuha has good crowd control & can provide resistance shred debuff & an elemental DMG bonus while Albedo can produce off-field DPS for shield shards & increase the team's EM |
| Zhongli | KokomiBennettYaoyao | - Instead of a shielder, you can use a healer - When either Kokomi or Barbara has been included, you can trigger more elemental reactions |
For sustaining the Burning status, it is highly suggested to have both Dendro & Pyro in the team so Ganyu can consistently trigger Melt reaction without removing the Pyro effect after an attack. Since Cryo & Dendro do not react with each other, a Melt reaction is guaranteed to occur.
Tweak Ganyu's Artifacts Accordingly
| With Bennett / Pyro Resonance | Pyro resonance / Bennett's Burst can already provide an ATK boost, especially with Noblesse Oblige, so it would be great to use Wanderer's Troupe x4 on Ganyu for the additional 80 EM. |
|---|---|
| Without Bennett | To increase Ganyu's damage output, Blizzard Strayer x2 + Any ATK x2 is recommended to improve Ganyu's DMG when triggering Melt with other attacks aside from charged ATK. Also if Nahida is included in the team, she can already boost the team's EM thru Burst so it is better to go for 2+2 artifacts than Wanderer's Troupe x4. |
You can adjust Ganyu's artifact depending on the team's synergy but consider the artifact set with better sub-stats.
More Elemental Reactions
When Dendro is retained and Hydro is included, the team can trigger Freeze, Melt, Vaporize, Bloom, & Burgeon reactions which are all great.
Mono-Cryo Ganyu Team Comp
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Ganyu | Skyward Harp Wanderer's Troupe x4 Main Sands: ATK Goblet: Cryo DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT DMG Sub 1. CRIT DMG 2. ATK% 3. CRIT Rate 4. Energy Recharge |
Shenhe | Calamity Queller Any ATK x2 Any ATK x2 Main Sands: ATK Goblet: ATK Circlet: ATK Sub 1. ATK% 2. Energy Recharge 3. Flat ATK |
Kazuha | Freedom-Sworn Viridescent Venerer x4 Main Sands: EM Goblet: EM Circlet: EM Sub 1. Elemental Mastery 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% | Diona | Sacrificial Bow Noblesse Oblige x4 Main Sands: HP Goblet: HP Circlet: Healing Bonus Sub 1. HP% 2. Energy Recharge 3. Flat HP |
Synergy Of Mono-Cryo Ganyu Team
| Character | Detail |
|---|---|
| Shenhe | She can provide buffs for boosting normal & charged attacks, Skill, Burst, and Cryo DMG which is beneficial for Ganyu. |
| Kazuha | He can shred the enemies' resistance with Viridescent Venerer x4 while providing decent crowd control, and an elemental damage bonus with his Burst. |
| Diona | A great shielder, healer, & battery. She can increase the team's ATK with Noblesse Oblige x4 and EM at C6 which is beneficial for Kazuha. |
Similar to ▲Freeze team, the objective of this team is to funnel all buffs to Ganyu. Kazuha's Freedom-Sworn also increases Ganyu's normal & charged attacks when the effect has been triggered.
Use Skyward Harp Instead Of Amos' Bow
Since the enemies are not frozen, they are going to approach you whenever possible. You cannot optimize the effect of Amos' Bow if the distance between you and the target is not far so use Skyward Harp instead. Ganyu's CRIT Rate may be overkill with this bow but a higher chance of a guaranteed CRIT hit is great nonetheless.
Skyward Harp Over Hunter's Path
While Hunter's Path can improve Ganyu's charged ATK periodically, it is better to use Skyward Harp since its effect provides additional CRIT DMG that improves not only her charged ATK but also her Skill & Burst.
Pros & Cons Of Mono-Cryo Ganyu Team
| Pros | - Ganyu can deal heavy damage consistently - Can produce a lot of Cryo particles which is beneficial, especially for Ganyu & Shenhe |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Not all enemies can be slowed such as bosses - Disadvantageous to enemies with immunity/resistance to Cryo and protected with Cryo shield |
Rotation Of Mono-Cryo Ganyu Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Diona's Elemental Skill for increased movement speed, shield, & Cryo application to enemies |
| 2 | Switch to Kazuha |
| 3 | Use Kazuha's Elemental Burst for Cryo-Swirl then Elemental Skill for crowd control |
| 4 | Switch to Shenhe |
| 5 | Use Shenhe's Elemental Burst for Cryo DMG Bonus |
| 6 | Use Shenhe's Elemental Skill for buff: Press for boosting Skill & Burst & Hold for boosting NA/CA/PA |
| 7 | Switch to Ganyu |
| 8 | Use Ganyu's Elemental Burst for Cryo DMG bonus |
| 9 | Use Ganyu's Elemental Skill for taunt |
| 10 | Use Ganyu's Frostflake Arrow thru CA |
From time to time, you can switch to Kazuha if you need crowd control. If he triggers Cryo-Swirl, the resistance shred debuff is refreshed. Also, you can switch to Diona if you need a shield or heal. Since this team produces a lot of Cryo particles, Diona's Burst can be used more often.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Shenhe | RosariaLayla | - Rosaria can increase the CRIT Rate of the team - Layla is a good support who can shield and even increase NA/CA DMG at C4 |
| Kazuha | VentiSucrose | - If you do not have Kazuha, you can replace him with another Anemo support for resistance shred & crowd control |
| Diona | SayuQiqiJean | - You can replace Diona with a Cryo or Anemo healer. It is recommended for healers to use Noblesse Oblige x4 even for Anemo since Kazuha already uses Viridescent Venerer x4 and the effect of it does not stack. |
To retain the mono-Cryo status, it is logical to only include Cryo, Anemo, and Geo.
Can Use Shielder Instead Of Healer
If you want to have a shielder, you can opt to use Zhongli instead of a healer since he can mitigate 100% damage with his durable shield although this is not effective if you are going to encounter an enemy with a debuff that ignores the shield like corrosion.
