KEY POINTS

  • "Genshin Impact" recently launched the Albedo Banner
  • The next banner will reportedly feature Ganyu
  • A new set of leaks reveals Ganyu's skills, attacks, passives, constellations and more

The next character reportedly arriving in "Genshin Impact" is the five-star Cryo Adepti-Human hybrid Ganyu. For players who wish to know if the character is worth spending on, the following information could be useful.

Who Ganyu Is

Many players are already familiar with Ganyu since she appeared in the main storyline. She was introduced as the secretary for Liyue Qixing. While she may look mainly human, Ganyu is a half-human half-adeptus with red horns in her hair. She has a cryo vision and wields a bow. Most of the details about Ganyu came from leaked videos and images taken from the game's closed beta test.

Ganyu Skills And Attacks

Ganyu's elemental skill is called Trail of the Qilin, which causes her to jump backward causing AoE Cryo damage and leaving an ice lotus on her trail. The duration of the ice lotus scales with her Max HP and taunts enemies, triggering them to attack it. Should the duration end of the ice lotus gets destroyed, it will bloom and will cause AoE Cryo damage.

Called Celestial Shower, her elemental burst summons an ice soul gem. In its entire duration, the soul gem rains shards of ice, hitting enemies in an AoE with Cryo damage. When her elemental burst is activated, Ganyu freely attacks and moves, allowing her to constantly apply Cryo damage to enemies.

Ganyu also has the Frostflake Arrow, which blooms after she hits the target. This causes AoE Cryo damage to enemies.

Ganyu Constellations And Passives

Her first constellation weakens enemies' Cryo resistance that should boost her damage more. It also regenerates her energy, allowing her to recharge her elemental burst much faster. Her second constellation grants extra charge to her Trail of the Qilin elemental skill while her fourth constellation reinforces her elemental burst. Meanwhile, Ganyu's sixth constellation allows her to fire a Frostflake Arrow after she uses her elemental skill.

As for Ganyu's passive, she has two: the "Undivided Heart" and "Harmony Between Heaven and Earth." The former boosts Ganyu's aimed shots while the latter grants a 20% Cryo damage bonus to party members in the AOE of her elemental burst.

The Ganyu Banner is reportedly set to arrive in the game on Jan. 12. "Genshin Impact" is playable on PC, PS4, iOS and Android devices.
