Best weapon for Ganyu, calculated
Golden Frostbound Oath tops the weapon calc for Ganyu at 22,931 average damage on Charged Attack. Every row below is the same hit with only the weapon swapped, at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1 — the right-hand column is the damage you give up by running it instead.
Each bow equipped on a Lv90 Ganyu at talent 10 — base ATK, substat and any modelled passive. Weapons whose passive is not modelled show only their raw stats; better a missing buff than a wrong one. Swap any of them in the Ganyu calculator to re-run the whole chain on your own panel.
| Weapon | Base ATK | Substat | Average | vs best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Frostbound Oath 5★ best base ATK 542 · CRIT DMG | 542 | CRIT DMG | 22,931 | 100% |

Constellations & passives
Only self-buffs that are unconditional and clearly numeric change the numbers above. Everything else is shown as text but applies nothing.

C1 · Dew-Drinker not modelled — text only
Charge Level 2 Frostflake Arrows or Frostflake Arrow Blooms decrease opponents' Cryo RES by 15% for 6s upon hit. A hit also regenerates 2 Energy for Ganyu. This effect can only occur once per Charge Level 2 Frostflake Arrow, regardless if Frostflake Arrow itself or its Bloom hits the target.

C2 · The Auspicious not modelled — text only
Trail of the Qilin gains 1 additional charge.
-
C3 · Cloud-Strider modelled
Increases the Level of Celestial Shower by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Increases the Level of Trail of the Qilin by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Ganyu build questions, answered
What does Ganyu scale off?
Ganyu's Charged Attack scales off total ATK — character base ATK plus weapon base ATK, then (1 + ATK%) and flat ATK on top. A weapon’s base ATK line therefore feeds this character directly.
What stat does Ganyu get from ascension?
Ganyu's ascension substat is CRIT DMG. It arrives at the Level-80/90 ascension and is part of the character's own stats, so the calculator counts it before any artifact roll is added.
What is the best weapon for Ganyu?
Ranked by computed Charged Attack damage at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1, Golden Frostbound Oath is the strongest bow for Ganyu at 22,931 average damage per hit. The Amos' Bow used by this page's preset panel averages 19,244, 16.1% behind it.
What artifacts should Ganyu use?
Blizzard Strayer (4) is the set this calculator presets Ganyu with, and the damage tables include its bonuses. Set effects that depend on the element of the hit are applied per row rather than as a flat average.
How much damage should Ganyu do?
On the default Level-90, talent-10 build shown above, Ganyu's largest single hit averages 19,244 — the table lists its CRIT and non-CRIT numbers separately. That is a reference panel, not a target: load your own artifact rolls into the calculator to get your own number.
Do these numbers include Ganyu's constellations?
No — every table is computed at C0. Constellations that are unconditional and clearly numeric are modelled in the calculator and marked as such on this page; the rest are listed as text only and change nothing.
How those numbers are produced: the damage formula, term by term, and the weapon & artifact build guide. If Ganyu still hits soft, the six levers ranked by damage added shows which multiplier is holding a build back.
