Overview
Ganyu delivers sustained Cryo damage through charged arrows and their area blooms. She can instead emphasize her Burst, but aimed-shot teams need protected time and the right enemy aura.
Role
Cryo Frostflake aimed shots / area Burst damage
Playstyle
Choose an aimed-shot or Burst-support emphasis; aim uninterrupted shots while the target remains in the intended aura.
Why It Works
Frostflake Arrow and bloom use the Normal Attack talent.
Watch For
Burst Cryo application can change a Melt aura plan; do not assume the same ordering works for Freeze and Melt.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Freeze: Hydro/Cryo setup → Burst → Frostflake shots. Melt: sustained Pyro → protected Frostflake shots; Burst only when the aura plan supports it.
Key Notes
Celestial Shower supplies a Cryo damage bonus to active characters within its area.
The first Frostflake shot enables extra CRIT Rate for subsequent arrows and blooms.
Blizzard Strayer loses its Freeze bonus against bosses.
Interruption cancels a charged shot.
