MELT DPS Build 👍
Ganyu's Level 2 Charged Shot applies two instances Cryo as they do not share the same ICD, which allows you to trigger Melt reaction twice for both damage instances. Charged Attack will be the majority of her damage output while neglecting her Skill/Burst damage contribution for most scenarios. Regarding Weapon Choices: Amos' Bow: This is an excellent weapon for Ganyu since her Level 2 Charge Shot Bloom extends arrow flight duration and you can get 3 stacks of Amos' Bow passive even on point blank range. Hamayumi: Due to its passive, this weapon prefers Wanderer's Troupe (4) instead. Prototype Crescent: At higher refinement levels with good uptime on its passive, it can potentially be on par with Skyward Harp. However, do bear in mind that not all enemies have weak spots that you can headshot, which does affect its performance significantly. Regarding Artifact Sets: Shimenawa's Reminiscence (4) and Wanderer's Troupe (4): If you are able to squeeze 5 Charged Attacks during the 10 second buff duration, Shimenawa's Reminiscence (4) pulls ahead of Wanderer's Troupe (4). Due to it being very difficult to do, Wanderer's Troupe (4) will usually end up dealing more damage for most players. Note that unless you intend to artifact strongbox Wanderer's Troupe pieces, Shimenawa's Riminiscence (4) remains the better set to farm as the domain is greatly resin efficient. Regarding Talent Priority: Ganyu's Elemental Burst is low priority on a Melt Build since most of the times, you don't cast her burst at all so that it doesn't steal your Melt reaction.
ABILITY TIP
In some teams and situations, using Ganyu's Elemental Burst can be detrimental to overall damage due to stealing Pyro aura, thus reducing the amount of CAs melting.
