Ganyu, the Secretary of the Liyue Qixing, became a playable character since Genshin Impact 1.2 update and has surprised users with her DPS power. As a 5-star archer, Ganyu is the best suited for the role of a DPS fighter or a Support, depending on the remaining characters you have on your team.

Besides, you can make her even a bigger powerhouse with the right kind of equipment. Check out the best Ganyu bow tier list below.

Best Ganyu Bow tier list

The half-adepti uses a bow as her weapon. Below are the best choices for her, both 5-star and 4-star ones.

1. Amos’ Bow (5-star)

  • How to get: Wish Banner
Amos Bow
As Ganyu has high Cryo DMG and Crit DMG, those weapons with high ATK suit her well.

This is the best in slot bow for Ganyu and Amos’ Bow banner is also coming back with her in the 2.4 second phase.

The weaponry boosts Normal and Charged Attacks DMG by 24%. After the Attacks are fired, the damage dealt increases by a further 16% every 0.1 seconds the arrow is in the air for up to 5 times.

Ganyu Amos Bow remains one of the most optimum combinations to make her a powerful archer.

2. Prototype Crescent (4-star)

  • How to get: Forge via the Blacksmith
Prototype Crescent
Prototype Crescent passive boosts Ganyu ATK significantly as long as it hits the enemy's weak point,

The best Ganyu bow F2P is the Prototype Crescent with better refinements over time.

With this weapon, her Charged Attacks hitting on weak points will increase ATK by 36% for 10 seconds and Movement SPD by 10%.

Prototype Crescent is the greatest bow for Ganyu if the enemy has weaknesses. When hitting the weak points of the opponent, you may completely miss shots. That’s why you can craft this bow to make the passive skill better.

3. Blackcliff Warbow (4-star)

  • How to get: Paimon's Bargain

Blackcliff is also the best bow for Ganyu F2p. Although its way of triggering passive may not be equal to the aforementioned weapons, the passive can easily stack up to 3 in the Abyss or overworld with a lot of mobs. Moreover, this bow is good as it gives players a whopping 55% Crit DMG when maxed.

All in all, it's great and the crit damage substat on it can work well with Cryo characters in general.

Blackcliff Warbow
Ganyu Blackcliff Bow is viable if you want a full CRIT-focused build for her.

4. Skyward Harp (5-star)

  • How to get: Wish Banner

Skyward Harp is also amazing for Ganyu. Although it may not be the most suitable weapon for her, it is the second-best only after Ganyu Amos Bow. The character’s lack of need for CRIT Rate means the secondary stats of Skyward Harp is an ample addition and you can pay attention to raising Critical Damage.

This bow is also an amazing choice for characters like Childe, Venti, or Fischl.

Skyward Harp is a 5-star weapon that can be used by different bow users.

5. The Stringless (4-star)

  • How to get: Wish Banner

The last but not least best Ganyu bow in the tier is The Stringless. It enhances Ganyu’s Cryo power, making itself an appraisable Elemental DPS weapon. Moreover, it also increases Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill DMG by 24%, doubling to a massive 48% when upgraded fully.

It seriously packs a big bunch and can make Ganyu the ice goddess of your team. Besides, it can be used versatilely like Ganyu Blackcliff Bow.

Stringless
"An exquisite instrument with strings of different materials on every section," but also a formidable bow.

Before Ganyu comes back with Genshin Impact updates, you should gather all essential materials to craft these weapons or pull for them to combine with her.

Strongest Ganyu ATK combo

Ganyu is already the DPS queen of all DPS. Imagine the 7-digit physical DMG she would launch if you know the best ATK combo for her.

1. Cryo resonance

Those who are using a Cryo main DPS should never miss their chance to utilize the Cryo resonance.

Combine 2 Cryo will grant Shattering Ice which decreases time affected by Electro by 40% and increases the CRIT rate against foes affected by Cryo by 15%.

Ganyu Eula
With a team of Cryo units, your CRIT rate will get a massive 15% buff.

2. Melt (Cryo + Pyro)

One of the strongest elemental reactions in Genshin Impact is Melt. This happens when you mix fire and ice.

If you use Diluc or Bennett to apply Pyro first and then trigger Melt with Cryo later, you will get a 1.5x DMG modifier. Meanwhile, use Ganyu to apply Cryo first then launch Pyro will provide a 2x DMG modifier.

Diluc Team Comp
Either way will give massive damage, but the latter way will be more efficient.

3. Swirl (Cryo + Anemo)

In any case, mixing the power of the wind with ice (or fire, water, electricity) will produce a rainbow explosion that no opponent can endure as all of them are usually only resistant to one kind of damage. Ganyu with Venti or Kazuha will make the perfect combo.
