consecrated beasts when you try to charge shot on ganyu: 😡 😤
excuse the slight repetitive part(s) i am currently travelling back home to prep everything for baizhu and i can’t edit out small things as easily rn (noticed myself repeating “keep that in mind” and “overall” so much but cant change it lmaooo) hope u enjoy !!
ZY0Z PLZ ITS UNRELEAUTED NBUT I HAVE NAHIDA NILOU BLOOM TEAM WITH YELAN ANDKOKOMI AND IM GOING TO PULL BAIZU DO I REPLACE KOKOMI WITH BAIZHU????? plz
@@krisvqzz I know you meant this toward Zy0x but likely no because you’re usually blooming with Nilou in the first place but if you really wanna try it you can get Baizhu first and see how much you like his play and then decide who you want to remove from the team if that’s nilou or anyone else
Wow zyox your joke made my day, i laughed and rolled on the floor that I couldn't stand up again
Xiao is short.
I think that the biggest problem of Ganyu is that doesn't exist a cryo-dendro reaction, the only option is melt on burning but we don't have a good pyro off-field applicator, the only one is dehya but has too much downtime and need nahida that is better in other teams... Maybe with the pyro archon but is too much time in the future
Ganyu is still strong compared to other DPS characters. The problem with her is that she became a bit difficult and clunky to use, if we consider that many of the new enemies are literally built to stagger you and be annoying all the time. So I wouldn't say she is a top pick anymore, but is still a strong character.
Nah, Ganyu mid
@@pieohpie Thank you, that was really insightful and now I know all the reason why she's mid
yeah, tho i had her since 3.0, i would go for melt team so she can hit enemies hard but couldn't cuz i didn't have xiangling built (still dont- T-T) which is the issue and i already cant even complete the spiral abyss but i think if i have ganyu in melt team, i think i can finally beat it. i have good characters but need better crit sadly...
@@pieohpie thanks for the "opinion", i can see why no actual human being would take idiots like your kind seriously
Yeah, you need a strong shield with 100%+ uptime like zhongli but with it playing it feels like cheating xD
She's very versatile. If you don't like her charged shot gameplay, try putting her on a noblesse/emblem set and use her as a burst bot. I love her in daily commissions, especially the ones where you destroy the towers.
I like commissions where I can stand super far away, like way up on a cliff, and shoot everyone or the towers from a safe/funny distance
Well my reason for rolling for her is those dailies so i can just nuke them at safe distance then logout
ganyu + ayato = frozen lily garden , gameplay aside it is so satisfying and beautiful
and with venti / kazuha + any dendro/electro
it will be so amazing lol
Ganyu as a burst bot.... That's a new idea. Think that might work with Ayaka
When I got her, I didn’t know how to shoot so I used her a a burst bot! It made sure I didn’t get sick with her charge shot and I learned how to dodge since then! Now I can’t stop playing her!
On a side note, Layla can add a lot of value to Ganyu teams due to her absurd shield strength, the cryo resonance and the extra cryo app she gives (and allowing you to avoid playing circle impact with Diona)
I also find Layla's shield uptime to be the most comfy out of all four stars
to clarify, this is only meant for Ganyu freeze teams, correct? I have been very hesitant on building Layla for my Ganyu melt team because I was afraid her little icicles that shoot out from her shield would mess with the melt reaction.
Cryo resonance is useless on melt teams and Layla can steal your melts if you aren't careful. She's OK as a defensive option on freeze teams, but usually you don't need a shield on freeze teams anyway. However if you have Layla on a mono cryo teams with Ganyu/Shenhe/Kazuha, Layla C6 gets a 40% damage bonus on all her skill and burst hits so she can leverage Shenhe quills really well while giving you a shield for Ganyu to charge shot spam. Of course if you want to do good damage you need a crit build which means a somewhat weaker shield. R5 Harbinger of Dawn is perfect for Layla in this role. I run noblesse fav Shenhe, VV fav Kazuha, ToTM HoD Layla, and Strayer Amos Ganyu.
is there a good ganyu kazuha melt rotation with layla? Layla's shield doesnt last as long as zhongli's so using her shield at the start of the rotation isnt viable.
@@leelee1782 don't build layla for melt, the cryo app sucks and 12sec shield duration is awkward. layla for freeze/mono cryo ganyu, c4 yanfei or diona for melt.
12-1 is truly one of the places to play Ganyu in
💀
@@raven2070 she's better in the second half
💀
💀
Its funny to say but i used Dehya and it was a walk in the park for all of the 2nd half 💀😂
Also i think people really ignore ganyu's versatility in this game. When she was first released everyone thought she was going to be a support character. She has an insane aoe which buffs all your teams cryo damage by 20%, and has a taunt which disengages you aswell as applies two bursts of cryo.
ehh I mean, the cryo damage is nice but I wouldn't exactly call it "insane," and the taunt is basically useless to be completely honest. She's still very good as a 2nd cryo for lets say ayaka, but that's equally because of her damage as her buffs.
Its biggest part that people overrate
@@stephenwu1524 genshin players really can't read lmao. The "insane" thing OP said is the AOE of her burst, which is completely true. It has the same AOE as Ayato's ult and only second to Nahida's in terms of ult's AOE
@@moxigene ah I see, even then I'm not really sure if that matters? You don't need AoE that big 99.9% of the time, and when you do you're better off running a grouper anyway
@@moxigene it's still not insane because the icicles drops at random instances making it not consistent. Unlike ayato, the water droplets are consistent as long as the mobs are still alive.
Funny enough, with all these new stagger enemy types we have, Dehya is a huge help for modern day Ganyu’s.
Ganyu Bennett Nahida Dehya team GIGACHAD
@@oliviaaarghi currently running that team too, but replace yaoyao with nahida since i cant get her, and dehya's resistent interuption is a BIG plus, also dehya+nahida will give enemies pyro auro most of the time too
Does that actually have any advantage over a Zhongli+Sunfire comp
@@Ayzev Enemies that run away can still get by the burning/Nahida/Melt shots.
@@Ayzev Dehya can make burnmelt have a higher uptime, and Nahida does a ton of dmg herself sooo
Ganyu was actually my way to break through the Abyss Wenut since she could hit 4 Charge SHot on it while it was wasting time by going in and out
True
Zy0x is just repeating garbage take from Zajef that Ganyu's team is 'garbage' for Wenut... While it's possible to solo it with c0r1 Ganyu, LOL. She is one of the best picks for it. Also in general this video is nonsense, completely missing that majority of Ganyu's value is coming from her flexibility, mainly - in switching between on-field and off-field dps, great AoE with 100% uptime and range. She is great for many teams and situations. Even in burn melt you can switch to Ganyu off-field and just keep triggering burning with Nahida and Kazuha. Let's not forget that off-fielder is always MORE valuable than on-fielder. Ganyu is TOP unit, while this video is just terribly narrow-minded.
@@user-vr8qd4hk6y Zy0x already stated Ganyu's flexibility but he also made a point that it doesn't matter because xiangling and bennett are better used for Raiden National and International as those teams deal better damage and more comfortable to play than melt Ganyu. Also Hyperbloom/Aggravate are better than melt ganyu.
Solo capabilities are meaningless as almost no one plays the abyss with just 1 character, even the fastest abyss speedruns you see have 4 characters. The guy you were mentioning that soloed wenut with Ganyu is a tryhard that resets the abyss 10+ hrs to get the perfect run just to flex, majority of the people doesn't have time for that.
And for freeze, well, Ayaka will always be a better pick (and is usually picked rather than Ganyu) as she has higher damage ceiling than ganyu w/o melt.
@@AyakaSupremacy Zy0x nowhere even considered Ganyu's flexibility, LOL. He missed most of her value. Sad you are getting mislead by him like other people. Putting general discussion aside, you missed the point, OP is right. Zy0x said Ganyu is bad for Wenut, what is just hilarious, she is great for it and that's it.
@@user-vr8qd4hk6y looks like someone has a reading comprehension issue lol...
Why use melt ganyu when better teams like Raiden National or Childe International, along with Hyperbloom/Aggravate, exist?
Why use ganyu in freeze when Ayaka is subjectively better in freeze? Why use support ganyu for Ayaka freeze when Shenhe exist?
That's zy0x's point, just because she's flexible and can fulfill different roles doesn't mean she's valuable, as there's characters designed for those roles that performs better than Ganyu.
Also against wenut, Ganyu teams have low full star clearance rate in akashadata compared to Ayaka Freeze, Rational, and Aggravate teams last 3.5 at whopping +90% vs wenut, with ganyu comps the highest full star rate is 70% against wenut, so while Ganyu does clear, other teams can perform better.
Ganyu's value is that she's a ranged DPS in a Spiral meta that seems to be throwing flying Wolflords and Wenuts that are completely unhittable by Melee units in certain phases. If you play Burn Melt Ganyu with Nahida, Ganyu can melt her charge shots from any distance. The only downside with Nahida Melt Ganyu is that you don't really want Zhongli as your shielder because his pillars can crystallize off your burning and throw off your Nahida trikarma timing which could make you drop Burning. If you play at a distance where his pillars won't affect this, then you may not be getting Zhongli's res shred, and if you're too close then his pillars can ruin your burning. I recommend c4 Yanfei as the shield option in this team since in a pinch Yanfei can also reignite Burning from a distance if you accidentally drop it.
a little bit correction. Zhongli res shred is from his shield not from his pillar, so its not that much of an issue. I always start shielding far away from where i want to fight, then just proceed the fight somewhere far away from the pillar. Althought using c4 Yanfei as a shielder for Meltnyu is an interesting idea, might give it a try later. Thanks !
Fun fact, Ganyu at low Constellation can solo Abyss full stars (depending on the enemies) provided you play on PC, have very good ping and you have the skill to do it. I think a RUclipsrs consistently uploading Solo Ganyu against the newest Abyss whenever he can.
Also, I beat Weenut using Ayaka-Ganyu-Kokomi-Kazuha. Ganyu surprisingly great sub-DPS and her Burst can buff Ayaka Cryo damage.
Not low cons, but simply - c0r1. Yup, all Abysses to this day were cleared with Ganyu solo.
@@user-vr8qd4hk6y He had to add C1 because of the Constipated Beasts
@@anturanggatantra2137 Oh, so it happened, finally. Well, I'm not surprised, Abyss is really becoming harder and harder since 3.0. Alright.
I've been farming for her for too long. 100% getting her.
Good luck
Omg same, I have everything for triple crown lvl 90 ganyu. I'm not giving up now 😂
good luck! she's really good ☺️
@@Estrelinhuu I don't quite have enough books/weekly boss stuff to triple crown her, but she'll get pretty close.
@@SuilongV3 oh you'll get it! Focus her primary shot and ult first! I'm only crowning her skill to be pretty, cause is not needed. Hahaha
Maybe irrelevant as of now but Ganyu can be pretty good against the Wenut. I cleaned it with freeze Ganyu while using Venti instead of Kazuha (basically Morgana) and i still had more than 20s left on the timer. That’s without using any 5* weapons on any of the characters.
Edit: i guess i didn’t actually say what make Ganyu “good” in what i typed… basically it’s because she can chip damage him very well due to her energy-less cooldown-less high scaling charge shots.
Chip damage is part of it, but also the Wenut is so huge that it takes like 2-3 times more damage from her Burst. The damage is as if you were using her in AoE.
Zy0x has solo carried me from abyss floor 3 to floor 10! Still pretty new but damn this man a blessing fr
I like to imagine Zy0x is real, but I wouldnt wanna live in a world where I have to live with the consequences of Zy0x being real
Ganyu is really nice for dealing with overworld really fast, her Charged Shot is her main dmg, has no energy/cd, has long range, can be forcibly targeted, and a large aoe.
She's also cryo so she has Freeze for dealing with mobs that move too much and Melt for more dmg.
Pair her with Zhongli and she's basically a modern tank.
I never understood this claim. Yelan and Scara zoom so fast they are much better Imo. You gotta pick up that chest and loot don’t forget. And their dps is more then enough because well…open world enemies. By the time ganyu is doing charging a shot Yelan already ran over there and one tapped the mobs
@@wilburforce8046 They still have much more cds than Ganyu and have limits with their range.
Wanderer less so but he's still under the mercy of auto aim. Yelan has the aoe charged shot but that isn't where her dmg is. They slightly struggle with enemies on towers and flying enemies, unless you use their burst but great now you also have to go and get energy.
Ganyu's fully targeted aoe can surpass anything but shields and the katana block.
She can hit what you want, where you want, when you want without dashing into the enemy's face to force the targeting system to choose them.
She also has easy access to Freeze AND Melt so you can decide to Freeze the flying little buggers or just Melt the machines which tend to not be able to be onehshot unless you use a burst.
I'm not saying she's the absolute best, Wanderer or maybe Ayaka probably has the best balance between dmg and mobility, I know I switched to her when travelling through Inazuma but again, with how many puzzles need you to hit specific things, how many flying stuff there is, how hidden some enemies are, and how sometimes you don't want to think just shoot and be on with it, Ganyu's Powerful Targeted AoE is REALLY good for dealing with overworld's many annoyances.
@@serezelveydawn bro yelan’s E is the damage. Build into that and she will get there faster and kill them faster. Ganyu has zero mobility that’s her big issue. And she’s sluggish and clunky. And you aren’t fighting enemies on towers most of the time. (Also they are hillichurls so like go sneeze on them with one arrow from anyone)
As someone who’s been grinding 100% regions since launch never once have I used my ganyu after her initial release (who is well built btw)
Trust me she’s slower.
consistent dmg = no dmg burst period, so the buff she receive matters less since they take over her field time.
Overworld she has a lot of competitors, Yelan or Wanderer, or even Keqing with Nahida.
@@wilburforce8046lol as someone who’s been a Ganyu main since 1.2 and has also 100% regions. You’re fucking lying 😭 when it comes to killing literally anything that isn’t immune to cryo, over half the time I don’t even bother to go up to them, I just aim and hit my shots and their dead. Not to mention other than she takes relatively low investment compared to Yelan and Wanderer. Those two are both VERY picky with their artifacts while she’s good with the majority of dps artifacts. Can literally stick a 4 pc glad on her and clear the game. It’s also VERY weird to cry “she’s too clunky” but you’re advocating for WANDERER of all characters 💀plus her play style is simply faster. Also both Yelan and Wanderer rely too much on their E/Q. Ganyu being a character where 90% of her damage requires no use for E/Q will always make her more probable.
Thank you Mr. Zy0nix for using xiangling's pyronado Displaying her mastery over both fire and polearms, Xiangling sends a Pyronado whirling around her. The Pyronado will move with your character for the ability's duration, dealing Pyro DMG to all opponents in its path. Truly one of the strimmer of all time i love him gayge
I didn't expected to saw my ex name here 💀
we all love xiangling and mr. socks BUT he's not a relatable streamer of all time. how can he got seele in a single pull while i'm here suffering, used all my warps and still not get her??? IM SADGE
Hello, nice to meet you! My name is Xiangling, I'm a chef from Liyue! My favorite place is the chicken... I mean, the kitchen! Ugh, I practiced so hard, but I still get nervous when introducing myself... Heh.
@@eukio_ the other day i found my ex commenting something on a video about birds, it had his picture and everything 😭😭 thats a way to know he's out of jail
@@sakaom LMFAOOO omg
You can play Ganyu in dendro teams like Hyperbloom too (Ganyu being Burst Support). I think this teams are so meta right know! They are called "HyperFridge" if someone want to search for it.
That's essentially what I'm running with keqing (sac sword, 1st 5 star lost on nahida 75 pulls), Nahida (2nd 5 star, 75 pulls), Barbara (no other hydro), Ganyu (3rd, 76-77 pulls, won 50/50).
Still leveling Ganyu to rank 5 as well as saving materials for rank 6.
Now if Arts didn't weren't utter crap.
@@Kspice9000 You only need C4 Ganyu, after that she falls off hard
@@kaingates C6 Ganyu can still destroy everything though
I'm surprised you didn't mention pairing Ganyu with Ayato. Their bursts together are insane, especially when you throw in Venti.
I still use her. She's one of my more invested characters along with my Hu Tao (both of them C2). Helped me in abyss alot, and she also helps in daily commissions.
I just love listening to Zy0nix (a streamer) talking about the Consecrated Beasts on his RUclips channel while I remember him explaining on his Twitter how he enjoys being played with by them.
Recently I've been enjoying playing her in Ganyu/Shenhe/Layla/Kazuha team mostly as a burst bot, but also occasionally filling my random ass rotations with one or two charged attacks. I think her A4 passive is greatly underrated and most people have probably totally forgotten that she has a 100% uptime on a 20% cryo damage buff for your active character. Pair that with Shenhe and an anemo support and you can even turn Diona's hold E into a nuke with the buffs.
As someone who still doesn't have Ganyu after more than a year of playing, she is the one I'm gonna pull for this next phase. Already have a decent Blizzard Strayer and Wanderer's set for her
Same here. I also got Aqua Simulacra (wanted Staff of Homa instead) so I think I can build her, I need a good cryo unit since I couldn't get Ayaka, I need a strong bow user as well specially for those ruin hunters which can be so annoying to kill
Same, I have plenty of bow characters including Tighnari, but Ganyu's gameplay is just so fun and she's super versatile. I also want a good cryo character since I dislike Ayaka
Any updates??!
@@Reckless_charge got her yesterday c:
Melt Ganyu (+ Xiangling, Bennet) with Zhongli shield is still one of my favorite teams to play. It's very comfy and reliable in most situations. In my opinion her strengths are still about the same as they were in the beginning (even with freeze setup being countered by more enemies in general), there are just way more options that are equally attractive nowadays.
Love your content! Was really hoping you were covering Star Rail because your character guides are second to none 😀
She is still a beast. Tried her in the current abyss just right after the abyss refresh, and she dominated it together with Benny, Xiangling and Zhongli. Btw, she’s c0 w/o amos. she dominated all the 1st chambers. I tried aggravate keqing w/ jade cutter, Vaporize Ayato (which worked as well but less smoother rotations), heck even my hyperbloom kuki didn’t work. It’ll always boil down on your preferred playstyle, but ganyu will always be consistent.
Ganyu used to be insanely broken at launch but now she is perfectly balanced: neither overrated nor underrated
Well then MID!
@@Sakuta3220 hater spotted
@@mk007__
Mid isnt a derogatory term. Its just thats she’s alright but not completely broken. Mid, average, mean, good. They all mean the same honestly
She wasn't insanely broken.
And now she's kinda mid comparatively
@@Cocxy69Nah when she launched she was definitely broken
Now other units have caught up so she's balanced
Also really good to use in hyperfridge. I’ve been using her for the deepwood domain with Nahida, Xingqiu, and Kuki.
As a ganyu main who religiously sticks with her I very much appreciate this video:)
I don’t think Ganyu fell out of meta, but her meta team(s) have changed and have become more restrictive. Overall she Is weaker but still in the same range of power as before
Do the thug shake
You got an ass on you alright
As somebody whos been playing Ganyu in one of their main teams (im running her in the permafreeze comp with mona, venti and diona) for a while now i can 100% agree with what you are saying. Id say if the content im playing hits her and ventis niche i.e. a huge amount of displaceable and freezable enemies its my strongest team but whenever i see a duo of ruingraders id rather pick my beidou and for unfreezable bosses i rarely even consider her. Also another weakness ive encountered while playing her is that i feel like she struggles if theres only very short burst dps windows like you often have with hypostases. The dps phases are often only long enough to get a single charge shot out (the full charge time for the flower is just soooooo loooong) and unless you plan ahead well and dont get hecced by rng you dont have time for the rather lengthy setup with all 3 q+e of the other characters.
This is very helpful. I'm planning on pulling for Kaveh (hopefully get him to C4 at least) and I was considering pulling for Ganyu. (Ideally, I would like to lose my 50/50 to Tighnari.) I like Baizhu and I mostly run dendro teams, but I think I have more than enough dendro characters already while I lack cryo. I haven't been playing for too long so I don't even have Venti, but I'm planning to pull for him in the future. If I get Ganyu, it'll be an investment. I don't mind her "weaknesses" cause I understand that characters have their own pros and cons. I might bench her for awhile tho. XD
I have Nahida Nilou on my alt account. The upcoming banner doesn't really appeal to me because of Ganyu's reduced versatility (I actually like everything about her, but I also want to have good abyss setup with minimal investment). I could go for Baizhu since it'll make farming my two teams easier, but I would also have far too much Dendro and generating cores everywhere is boring to me....
Same here my cryo is super lacking but id rather loose if i hit early pity so I can guarantee my next 5* while pulling kaveh lol
Yeah, i like ZyOx, but i think this is one if his videos that i most disagree on. Ganyu isn't as bad as this video try to make her look. She have been my main for almost 3 years at this point and she is my best character by far, even when i have all the "better pulls" that he said 😅
P.S: Ganyu isn't depending of Venti at all, don't feel pressure to get him in the future 🤣
i think one underrated part of ganyu is that shes pretty useful for the overworld as she deals with everything that isnt abyss and has special mechanics just fine solo without supports. i guess there are other characters that can fulfill the same role but in the end u can use whatever and still beat everything as long as uk what yr doing so just do what u want
exactly! an amazing early carry that allows you to deal with any threat that isnt a cryo enemy that stays relavent even to endgame overworld. The people who complain about how mid ganyu is are all endgame players who are focusing on abyss or speed clearing domains
I C6 her since her first banner Jan 2021, It is the only time that i don't regret whaling in this game.
She is everything you need. Open world or Abyss/Single target or Multiple targets/Main dps or Cryo support/Help you with ranged attacks but also you don't need to aim.
Not to mention the S tier character design, And Ueda Reina voice. What else you need?
For the recent abyss runs for Sumeru, I actually started using ganyu again. I stopped using her around the time sumeru first dropped. But recently, I’m running her as a off field support rather than dps… I might do a few charge shots but only a once or twice and that’s it. I’ve been running her in a zhongli, ganyu, benny, and xiangling team comp. Some people said they’ve been using this team for a long time. I’ve only started using this team recently after I tried every built characters I have in many possible comps for abyss runs. It’s a pretty comfy team with everyone having adequate ER. Zhongli on tenacity and with favonius. Benny on noblesse and favonius. Xiangling on emblem and jade spear. My current build for ganyu is kinda weird.. ganyu with emblem and stringless r5. I stick myself against the wall where the broken columns are at to keep myself in one spot and the consecrated beast in the same area (they push you around a lot so this sorta helps). I had a cryo goblet with 33.7% ER and I just picked the emblem with lots of ER and balance out the crit ratio hoping this will make her ult do more damage. I don’t know the damage all I know that it works…
You deserve a mil my friend. Keep going!
i would go for ayaka, but since her banner just was 3.5 i dont have high hopes for rerun anytime soon :)
As a Ganyu main i approved Ganyu is still powerful DPS
I think people also don't usually factor in her quality of life play. In the overworld she's amazing. With her damage coming from CAs she always has uptime. And some commissions are so much easier with her. And killing enemies up on platforms is so much more efficient with her
i’ve been playing too much hsr and this video reminded to do my genshin dailies at midnight
I main Ganyu since 1.2. I roam teyvat w/ her and she carried my 36 star abyss. My reverse melt and Freeze comp for her is almost perfect. I just love her playstyle so much.
Ive missed her in previous banners and have everything to level her already, 100% getting her no matter what!
Did you got her??
@@frostblitzxdkartoffelliebh6081 late but ye
glad to hear this. Since I accidentally got a C1 ganyu trying to get (or save for) zhongli in both her reruns
Some comments as someone who used Freeze Ganyu in the past two Abyss rotations:
IMO the most important requirement to making her work in Freeze is having multiple enemies that you can group (either with an Anemo character or knowing enemy patterns). The +20% CRIT Rate from hitting Frozen enemies (as opposed to enemies affected by Cryo but not Frozen) is important, but grouping an enemy with just one other enemy straight up doubles the damage your Burst does to each.
12-3-2 was tricky until I learned that running far to the left at the start gets the Cryo Maguu Kenki to run towards the others and groups them, so even though they were unfreezable they were still very manageable just from how well Ganyu's Burst scales in AoE. 12-1-2 on the other hand was a massive pain and it's all because of the consecrated tiger deciding to take the scenic route to my location. Even though they're freezable, you lose so much damage if they aren't being hit by double the icicles from being grouped. If you want to use Freeze or Mono Cryo Ganyu in this Abyss, I recommend prioritizing breaking the tiger's energy block to prevent it from jumping around. 12-2-2 as you might expect was a cakewalk.
Something funny is that her Burst is actually really good against the Wenut. Since it's so large, it ends up getting hit by like 20-30 icicles as opposed to the 10 you normally get in single target.
I did play Melt Ganyu in a few abysses. Felt nice although not _as_ fast something like National, but still quite good. Good option if you need Xingqiu on another team, which can happen a bit more nowadays, and don't have another Hydro applier like Tartaglia available for Xiangling.
Also I *hate* it when 17:04 happens to me
5:52 I like how he spent all 10 seconds on Bennett/Zhongli to battery XL and now his Ganyu has no Bennett buff.
I love a burning melt Ganyu team with Bennett, Nahida, and Kazuha :) Instead of trying to stay in Bennett's Inspiration Field you replace a lot of the added damage from that with how strong the burning reaction is with Nahida's and Kazuha's high EM. The main downside is that Kazuha's burst doesn't last long, so you would also miss out on the 15% cryo buff from Ganyu's burst.
tysm i've been waiting for this. despite being an ayaya main, i really want to pull ganyu and build a melt team, because it will be better for exploration and i typically play ayaya as freeze
Why do i have this deja vu every single time Ganyu's banner comes out? 😅
She has good and bad matchups, but her teams and numbers are still crazy strong. She just has more competitions now.
There's also the gameplay aspect. Not everyone is going to like her gameplay and other units will probably be better suited for you, but that doesn't make her weaker by any means.
Also, sidenote, all non-dendro reactions are technically weaker now, since all recent abyss rotations have been balanced around those. With the exception of Raiden national of course, lol
Thank you!, is really not too hard to understand, the fact that is more characters now dosen't make her worse at all, she is really strong anyway, if someone don't like her gameplay is fine, just don't go over there saying that she is bad just for that 😅. She is the most versatile cryo character and one of the best DPS in the game anyway
P.S: Ganyu is the only cryo character that works really good with dendro thanks to Nahida and their burning melt comp 😄
She fell off in the sense that she's no longer the definitive best DPS. Now she's simply one of the good options. She's kind of in the same situation as Ayato but as a carry. She's usually never the BIS for an archetype, but contributes to a high performing team in many. One mistake this video highlights though is the "don't use Ganyu's burst in melt" mistake. You should always use her burst if it's up. In ST, you use her burst first, and put Xiangling's skill up before she retakes the field. In AOE, you snapshot Bennet's buff on her burst and effectively do large AOE damage. This is no doubt, part of why she's underrated, because people are missing out on free damage and buffs from her own kit.
You use Melt Ganyu as the general option, being in between Rational and International. Better for bosses than international, while not ungrouping enemies in AOE like Rational does. If Grouping is highly desirable, you run either Ganyu freeze or mono cryo. If you want a low investment team comp, you run the fridge comp variants.
Doubt Xiangling alone will consistently provide enough pyro for reliable reverse melts on the charge, but even if not there's still Sunfire which definitely applies enough
@@Ayzev If her burst is used first, you'll typically only get stolen melts if you spam her skill off of cooldown. Gouba has no ICD, so he helps a lot. Charge shot 3 or 4 is typically when you'd use the skill again. For AOE, having 2 snapshotted high AOE damage bursts are the most important, and forward melting Xiangling's burst isn't exactly heartbreaking in AOE. You can somewhat avoid the stolen melts if you alternate the targets of your charge shots or just hit the ground.
@@desolatorstorm142 Hitting the ground would lose 42% of the charged shot's damage. Not sure if the burst's damage would make up for it. Certainly wouldn't be much of a gain in single target damage, if one at all, which is the main point of melt over freeze/monocryo
@@Ayzev I was talking strictly AOE in that scenario, where it's insignificant.
What's the best dps or a top char for now then....
Thank U for the nice Diluc Guide Zy0x
i've pulled ganyu on her first rerun (idk when that was i just remember her being with zhongli and it being at about when i started playing) bcs i loved her design and just loved her as a character, however, everyone either called me a meta slave or a pervert bcs "you drool over her design" when i just said "idk i like ganyu's story and i kinda resonate with her being always tired and other shit" but regardless i still love her no matter if she's meta or not :D
Ganyu is the reason I’m 36 starring Abyss.
I remember when people called the scalings on her charged shots broken when she released, and they’re still good now. She never “Fell off”, there are just more options of characters available to people that are more engaging or even match or slightly beat her damage that happen to be fun to play
I mean.. that's literally the definition of "falling off"
@@gnuhgnauqneyugn
lol
@@gnuhgnauqneyugn Still beats the toughest content
@@Sir_Neal To be fair, almost all characters can beat it (maybe excluding Dehya)
@@Sir_Neal I beat abyss with Kaeya(C1) Bennet(C0) Rosaria(C2) and xingling(C3)
Shenhe can boost Ganyu charged shot damage to near melt levels of damage in a freeze team and is especially useful at c1. For those who still want to main Ganyu Mona freeze teams even with the current abyss, like myself.
I've always wanted ganyu and I am hoping for amos bow in the standard tomorrow so I can pull for her . Will see how baishu is too first in his trial. Since I have all denro units built to this point
Man! If only dehya was made properly.... She would've leveled ganyu's playstyle beyond comprehension
I don't even know the reason why I got her. I just did. And I must say, she has helped me a lot both in the overworld and early Abyss. I don't use her anymore, but I don't regret getting her.
Thanks for this.
i will be pulling her eventually (probably not this rerun) because I have her bow and I like her style. I may never bring her to abyss if i end up being bad at using her, but I feel like i would really enjoy overworld with her (from experience with running my lvl 60 Tighnari everywhere just because Ilike his playstyle)
I pulled her long ago cause she’s mobile friendly and great character like Yoimiya which made shielders much more reliable compared to other carry and reactions teams.
To the new players, don't be afraid to play a characters you want, even of it's Amber. In this game at first months people managed to build Barbara in too a good damager, so what to say about the rest? Yeah, there is stronger and weaker characters, but the thing is that the majority still can complete all genshin conten.
Thank you for this vid 🙏 I watched and am still lost on who to pull 😢 I’m f2p but baizhu and ganyu look fun
Ganyu is my favorite character and has been my main since her release. What made me wanna play her was how visually pleasing her abilities are, her character design, and her personality. I also have a thing for archery women/characters
-
I do love playing her but when it came to abyss, it would always irritate me of how much my block would get knocked off every 5 seconds. If I didn’t have Zhongli, it would be a pain in the ass playing her. And it’s hard because she’s my favorite.
-
When we started getting units like Hu Tao, Ayaka, and Alhaitham I started to find more enjoyment in them and started playing Ganyu a whole lot less.
-
I didn’t wanna stop using her or use her less, so I would force myself to play her even when I knew playing a diff character would be more beneficial.
-
Recently, I’ve been playing Tighnari and he’s such a breath of fresh air compared to Ganyu. I’ll always love Ganyu and still think she’s one of the best Dps characters in the game. But I had to learn it’s okay prefer other units to clear abyss with.
Ganyu is incredibly underrated by the META community AND casuals alike. The META community greatly underrate her Melt playstyle, especially at high vertical investment, and casuals don't like her because her CA can be slow and annoying to use without freeze or Zhongli/Diano/Dehya.
Because of that, I think that she was once overrated, but now she is incredibly underrated and underappreciated. And that's why Imma get closer to her C6 next banner coz she's 1 Million% best girl 🔥
The *actual* meta players like zajef and zyox very fairly rate her lmao. She's not nearly overpowered. She's not bad but she's not op. She's just a good character. Which is in an opinion shared by most of the "META COMMUNITY". Which is completely fair. Vertical investment really doesn't particularly matter *that much* and only matters for speedrunning purposes in which case ayaka kekw. With high vertical investment a character like hu tao becomes insanely good but is generally looked at as lower simply because high investment is not a level of investment most people would even want to have
@@darkdragonx650 zyox literally shat on her the whole video lmao, calling her bad this abyss cycle, saying that investing in her is hard because you need to switch builds, she requires really high investment to be good, she needs a lot of expensive supports, THUMBNAILING THE VID AS "DID GANYU FALL OFF"??? It seems like a more biased take than usual from him because practically all of those statements are easily debunked.
1. Zhongli Melt Ganyu EASILY clears every single F12 chamber this abyss except 12-3-1 and that's only because it has an electro check. His Bennett circle thing for 12-1 is true for EVERY Bennett team apart from maybe sucrose/Kazuha national team. Also, practically every team struggles to clear the beasts except maybe teams like freeze or shield teams, which Ganyu can be a part of BOTH.
2. Most accounts that are >1 year old have a good Wanderer's set lying around. The only thing you need to change is an EM or Atk sands for her Melt/some of her Morgana teams. Even then, for some of her other venti teams, the burst does WAY more than enough dmg where you don't even need to farm for BS.
3. Like I said in point 2, Wanderer's is a common set a lot of players have where getting 60/200 and 200 EM is not super hard for Ganyu. He even mentioned how good Hamayumi and Prototype crescent are for Ganyu. 5 star weapons are not really necessary to clear the abyss with her comfortably.
4. This is the only sorta viable take? Except that most hypercarries need those expensive supports to work optimally lmao. XL/Bennett/XQ/Kazuha is important for Raiden to work well in her hyper/rational teams, and subsequently Nahida and Yelan for hyperbloom, Xiao needs Zhongli, Succ and Bennett, Hu Tao needs either Zhongli or XQ/Yelan/XL or Kazuha/XQ for VV vape and to a lesser extent, someone like Cyno needs XQ and Kuki, and potentially Nahida too. I get that there are lesser 4 star replacements for them (except for Raiden), but those are also quite expensive supports like Fischl in Xiao, or Sucrose in Hu Tao, and DMC/Yaoyao/Baizhu for Cyno
They also underrate Ganyu Melt teams as being mid or wtv, which I think a lot of their audience will interpret as not that good. If you have the investment in #2, that's practically 150k/CA melt, about 600k DPR for herself and about 800k DPR/rotation. That's a
@@DeVoidAS literally none of what he said was false lmfao. Did ganyu fall off is a question that would obviously get a lot of views *especially considering how many people actually think about that question considering her rerun*. Yes she needs really high investment to be comparable to other teams...? And yes she is 'bad' comparably *to other teams*. Obviously with enough investment you get through lmfao. I've seen just a kuki and alhaitham clear 2nd half obviously a highly invested Ganyu could do the same. You don't need any character to clear the abyss the point of guides for people confused about pull value is in comparison to other characters in which case there are almost always *better* options which is very important to get through to newer players instead of overhyping her lmao. She's good. She's not overpowered and she's not bad. She's a completely fine unit and if mid is taken poorly from the audience that isn't exactly his fault now is it. If the audience isn't able to even understand that mid means middle of the pack i don't really see how it's his fault??? It's not anything wrong either. If a person sees mid as 'bad' then that's on them. And lastly ganyu is extremely uncomfortable to play for *most* people this abyss lmfao. None of what he said was false and if someone needs a guide to tell them who they should or should not pull i would definitely assume that they're looking for an easier method to clear abyss lmfao
I'm gonna try to C6 her too
this beyond false! helt team was the meta and overated stop the cap except you are a new player any OG know ganyu was shoved down their throat
I got her yesterday after failing to on her last two banners. I could’ve have chose the new character but wanted ganyu. I have the bows for her as well as all the units she needs. So looking forward building her finally.
There are still a few situations where I break her out. And I definitly use her alot in Overworld. That off field burst is excellet cryo application.
I feel Ganyu will always have a place in the meta. Even though I don't like using the term "meta" in Genshin considering the only content meant to be taken seriously is Spiral Abyss and that the "meta" is entirely balanced around whether they feel like shilling Venti or not...
Even though we now have characters that can keep up with or exceed Ganyu in on-field DPS situations, unlike many of those characters (minus extremely specific and gimmicky moments), Ganyu can still fulfill roles off field, which Zy0x forgot to mention, or at least only briefly touched upon.
People tend to forget that Ganyu has very solid cryo application. Her Skill is instant on a fairly average cooldown. If both parts hit (more often than not), then she generates 4 particles 6-10 seconds. And then there is her Burst that has a 60 energy cost and effectively 100% uptime. One of the ascention passives is grating 20% cryu damage bonus while in the field. Considering it's a huge field, that's not a hard thing to fulfill.
In the end, she's a Year 1 character and Genshin has at least 4-5 more years under it's sleeve, with more characters being able to accomplish more things. She'll probably be one of the best-aging Year 1 5* units because of the fact that she isn't restricted to on-field only.
what would you even say are worse aging 5 star yerar 1 characters? keqing aged miles bettter than ganyu did, if ganyu had aged well we wouldnt have a discussion on how good she still is.
@@TheColdestplay We're having this discussion because Ganyu was seen as * the * DPS character for quite a while. Pretty much until Ayaka came out and then that's when people accepted that there was a character that is better than Ganyu in most situations.
Every other standard Year 1 5* has aged significantly worse than Ganyu, despite characters like Mona, Jean, and Qiqi being off-field characters (and as expected since they are standard characters after all). Albedo has aged worse than Ganyu (mostly due to no other Geo characters being released since Itto, a whole year ago and Geo reactions being trash). Eula has aged worse than Ganyu. Klee has aged worse than Ganyu to the point where people roll Klee's C2 so she can actually do something off field. Like I said, the video only really talked about Ganyu as a main on-field DPS role and when you have viability off field alongside on-field, you will age better than most.
@@TheColdestplay lol acting like klee albedo eula yoimiya hutao ayaka venti dont exist. Ayato kokomi yae keqing got buff from dendro, raiden is raiden, yelan is yelan, kazuha is kazuha, zhongli is zhongli
@@aiiiiiiight-in3oq wtf are you on about lmao. only albedo, klee and yoimiya are worse. eula is weird because it just depends on the level of investment used on her. hu tao and ayaka are crazy to even bring upo seeing how insane hu tao ios and that ayaka is the one that dethroned ganyu. Venti can be the best char on a floor or the worst one, kazuha is just better than venti on average, same way ganyu is always the worse option for a role. and mentioning yelan, ayato and yae in year 1 when they released year 2.... maybe inform yourself before typing lmao
A someone who's been here since almost the beginning of Genshin, it's very nostalgic thinking back when most people were saying Ganyu was a must pull. I think Ganyu will always be relevant in the meta regardless of her team limitations and new enemy additions because she's so strong and easy to build.
But in all honestly the only reason I've never pulled for her and probably never will; and I may get shot for this lol, is because I find her move set very boring to play. Shooting from afar and seeing big numbers may be fun the first few times but after a while it gets very dull because that's all you need to do since she's so strong. And pulling her just for her to be a burst support would be a huge waste. I just personally want to be more engaged with the characters I pull for in the long term especially if they're a 5*. Which is a pity because I do love her character and visual design, but her kit is just not for me :(
Hi ZyOx i wanted to ask whether I can use ganyu's melt team the one with xianglin and Bennett can i use Noelle as the fourth character
The Video I Really Needed I was Thinking Should I Pull for her or not
Ganyu, and Hu Tao are still extremely strong. To be fair I have both of them at C1 with their signature weapon.
I didn't have Nahida until recently and I was still using Melt Ganyu and Hu Tao whenever I felt like I needed the extra damage.
I also have never pulled for Venti because I don't like his character or playing around his burst (I have used him when clearing the abyss on a friends account). I have also never liked freeze Ganyu and have almost always played melt.
Ganyu is actually very strong, she helped me to clear the Wenut. But so did Ayaka as well
Super out of topic comment but Zy0x, do you intend to do similar guides for Star Rail? That would be awesome honestly. I can't hardly see myself following another content creator for such guides considering the quality and consistency of yours.
Finally pulling for ganyu, can't wait!!
Honestly a shield for ganyu is more necessary now than ever. I think the Diona/Ganyu combo will make up for it in a melt comp
Ok, i have been playing Ganyu since her release and there so many things in this video that doesn't feel right 😅. First, this video emphasize too much that Ganyu's freeze teams work good with Venti and without him are way wrose, and that is 100% not true, Ganyu don't depend of Venti at all. I started playing Ganyu with Sucrose and i have never had any problem playing freeze or melt (with melt a destroied everything in the game in that point) y when i got Kazuha (in he's first rerun) just then i'd stop using Sucrose with her (and yes, i got Venti in his first banner). Second, emphasizing to much with Ganyu freeze comps (freeze isn't Ganyu's main build btw) are bad agains bosses and then said that Ayaka is a better choise that her is very contradictory, the fact that freeze is bad against bosses is something about THE REACTION not the character, so then saying that Ayaka is better when her best playstyle IS FREEZE ONLY doesn't have to much sense. Ayaka has the same problem with bosses, but, for some reason, everyone take that as a negative point for Ganyu, but not for Ayaka and, most importatly, if you can't freeze the enemy with Ayaka, she lose some power because you can't build her for melt, but YOU CAN build Ganyu for melt and deal with bosses anyway. But yeah, people keep saying that Ayaka is better even when she is way less versitile for some reason. Third, and, i know, a lot of people is gonna think that is a had hot take, but, Ganyu isn't as shield depending as people always try to make you think. I never use Ganyu with a shield and i always use her to clear abyss, in my experience Yoimiya is waaaay more shield depending than Ganyu, enemies with slow atacks (mainly bosses) you can doge their atacks in aim mode, fr, and enemies with fast atacks you just use her skill and that's it, the enemy will focus en the lotus and you can charge shot him easly. I this almost 3 years plaing with her it have been like 2 or 3 times that i said: "ok, i need a shield here", to clear abyss, and it's have always be a chamber with like 3 enemies that spam fast atacks or that ignore her skill. Even the curent abyss i used Ganyu without a shield to clear it (both sides of it). And last, she don't need the best supports in the game to work, having them just improve her gameplay like ANY other DPS in this game. Her best parner to melt is Xiangling that is a free character that anyone can get and, oh!, what did you say?, what if you want to melt with Xiagling and not with Ganyu?, well, just play Ganyu as a sub DPS (yeah, Ganyu can fill 3 roles: DPS, subDPS and support/cryo applicator) and melt with Xiangling (and that can make even easier deal with fast atacks enemies).
Everytime i see a video talking about Ganyu they put as "bad things" things that every other DPS has too and forgethig that she can be a excelent sub DPS off field too or even a good support or cryo aplicator and then talking about how other character are better even whe their aren't even close as flexible as Ganyu is in builds and reactions that she works in. For example you can take any Ayaka team and put Ganyu instead of her and the team is gonna work anyways. Take any Ganyu team and put Ayaka instead of her and just a few of them are going to work 🤷♂
Thanks Zyonix
That last part gave me PTSD, remembering back when I first fought Masanori with Ganyu. I lost count of how many attempts it took lol.
Gonna pull for her C1 for the cryo shred, wish me luck!
Xianling was doing 99 percent of the damge in the opening scene of the video
Bruh no wtf
Blind?
As a ganyu main. I play her on mobile cause im just built diff 💪
Found my people 💪😤
I'm gonna join u guys in 2 days 🗿
Same
its not hard its ganyu anyways, just shoot at the ground if ur too lazy to aim
Will you do honkai star rail content? I would love your character build videos for them
I was just watching some vids in the second acc. Jumping right here felt pretty weird lmao. Zy0x definitely has a double personality. XD
The same problem Ganyu has not being able to freeze and wnemy is the same problem Ayaka has, I used to believe that Venti was no longer good because he wasnt able to pull the larger enemies with his enemies, but guess they all forgot to mention tha you just need to freeze them and then Venti is able to do his work.
Its all about skill tbh
Ganyu can utilize melt if you're facing unfreezeable enemies (melt actually gives you higher damage). Meanwhile ayaka stuck with freeze/monocryo playstyle and cant do anything else. Ayaka definitely not in same league as ganyu in both flexibility and power.
@@FirehawkSHD the good thing is that Ganyu and Ayaka do a great team together, that's what I discovered on this abyss
Ganyu’s cheeks are so big they can still choke the consecrated beasts’s throats and cause them to vomit ✨
I missed her by half a patch when I started playing so I waited a year for her rerun. Turns out she’s not my cup of tea (I’m on mobile) but she was an amazing ayaka support until I got shenhe. Plus her melt numbers w nahida, Bennett, zhongli are nuts, even at only decent investment
Fontaine is very close by with the hydro archon and proably new hyrdo units so its a safe bet she will be used in alot of new teams so take that into account also
I have Ganyu, but I can't believe I only managed to 9 star Abyss WITHOUT her, and it made me sad since I got her a very long time ago. But damn Raiden-Bennet-Xiangling-Sara and Nahida-Yelan-Xingqiu-Kuki teams are just wayyyy more consistent to use.
I don't use her in the abyss much more but she's a mainstay in my overworld team just because being able to snipe stuff from afar is super useful and everything in the overworld is super weak so you don't even need to bother with reactions or anything
HOLY SHIT... Zy0x ACTULLY mentioned Raiden!! only once, but still counts!!!
Goat is goat, always. It's just with time the goat has gotten older.
I got her in my only moment of impulse spending last year and shes been (ngl) benched for a lot of time, occaissonally getting used every now and then. Im not an abyss focused player and in my attempt to get Nahida this past banner (for mind reading, grrr hate how content is locked behind the whitest fairy) i got Dehya instead (iconic) so I instead run Shenhe/Dehya/Yaoyao/Ganyu for emblem domain and commissions as of now! I enjoy the team, allthough i do miss a shielder... Afaik Baizhus shield isnt that shield-y and also more interruption resistance but i think once i get another dendro or pyro shielder that can apply burning nicely ill probably swap the team around. That being said, its REALLY noticeable to me how much harder Ganyu hits on burning, and its been really fun!
I wouldnt say shes a must have but im still glad to have gotten her ❤
Current Spiral Abyss enemies are my basis whether an upcoming character in that patch is worth pulling for.
A guide for the characters that can be pulled on standard banner with dendro would be nice mainly Mona i wish she got a boost when dendro came out for her constellations it boost all reactions and should of added dendro
I love to hear everything I said on the character 2 month after pulling it but 2 years after
I see many genshin streamers with quite grainy videos, the quality doesn't reflect the 1080p resolution. If you're using OBS for the recordings, go to your settings and increase the video bitrate, that will fix the video quality. If you're using other recording software... i don't know, but there should be bitrate options somewhere
is there a good rotation for ganyu kazuha melt if you're using layla instead of zhongi? Her shield doesnt last as long as zhongli's so you cant use it at the start of your rotation
Me, tying every Floor12 (and almost never fail) with my C0 Melt-Ganyu, I must note that it's so very satisfying if you can make it.
The consecrated beasts really grinded my gears. Idk if they're also up in the current cycle. Haven't started it yet.
My aggravate team seems to not deal enough damage in general in floor 12, but mostly to the scorpion/big cat beast pair, although that might just be because I keep being thrown around like a ragdoll and/or killed.
I first used Keqing/Lumine/Yaoyao/Ei but Yaoyao didnt provide enough survivability and they just keep dragging me away from Lumines field.
Then Keqing/Kuki/Yaoyao/Ei and it still wasn't enough because my Kuki build is bad and she kept dying and I don't think I had enough dendro application. A
Finally I went for risking the creation of hyperblooms and even with Kokomi in Keqing/Lumine/Kokomi/Ei I struggled to stay alive because those stupid things knock me away from the jellyfish. And I want to use her ultimate as little as possible, because her damage sucks.
I still don't know how exactly I managed to get 2 stars in every floor 12 room, because it seemed impossible with those beasts - and the aggravate team actually needed to be in the "other side" to deal with the triangle boss/SIMON, but it wasn't. And I was so tilted after like a dozen attempts to even get through it all, that I just quit once I got my 33 stars. A better outcome than any recent cycle, but then I also tried a lot harder this time and its still worse than like a year ago where I got 36 stars with worse teams and builds. They've made the abyss literally aggravating... Also still loathe Maguu Kenki, let alone 3, but he's one of the least of my worries in recent cycles xD
I would use Nahida in the aggravate team but I already use her in the bloom team (Nilou/Nahida/Babs/Mona, but with the annoying drake Yelan for bow). Which just completely wrecks the croc/cat beast pair. Well, if they don't spread out too much and yeet me all over the place before I know what way is up, that is.
Honestly I stopped trying in the abyss before after I first got 36 stars ages ago (about a year I think) because it's just made to be annoying with all the staggering, HP sponges, invulnerability and other annoying 'mechanics' designed just to drain your time away - which I never liked that it was just a measly 3 minutes anyway, not my idea of fun - but recently since I built my characters up better (I think), I've at least started to want to clear it with 36 stars again even once just to see that I can still do it. Not to mention, My FOMO has always hated letting the primos go. But yeah, its not fun content to me, so I'm a bit conflicted xD I want to see that I can do it and I want the gems, but I really hate floor 12 most of the time, sometimes even some parts of 11 because they just use 'annoying=hard' and strict time trials aren't my thing. And abyss is really strict, with 3 minutes with all it throws at you to waste whatever little precious time you have. And of course, the more annoyed you get, the more you lose focus, the worse the outcome often is. Never-ending cycle xD
Also, Ayaka > Ganyu I agree, but I am biased because Ayaka best girl
She's never falling off .. in my heart. Babygirl is finally coming home to me 😍🙏
Short answer: Shes good
commonly regarded as inferior to ayaka due to often dealing lower damage in a short time, she very much evens it out with extreme versatility and crowd control among other things like lower burst dependency and more and better team options such as a higher affinity with melt
also overlooked often is her synergy with mono cryo which is a decent team and sometimes a straight upgrade over freeze against bosses
plus one of if not the best overworld onfielder
My current team is Keqing, Barbara, Nahida and Ganyu.
Saving for Kazuha/kokomi, and hopefully Mona will come out on my next standard pity.
