Cryo DPS Build

Amos’ Bow is, of the three bows suggested, the most fitting to serve their purpose on this build, even if the Skyward Harp being the most offensive of the three.

Bennett and Sucrose can both support/heal and act as Sub-DPS triggering reactions, and Xingqiu will help spread the Freezing even more effectively.

What Are the Best Weapons for Ganyu?

Weapons like the Amos' Bow and Skyward Harp are the best options for this build, but you can also find a more affordable and equally good alternative in the form of The Stringless.
