Genshin Impact 5★ Cryo Bow Main DPS
The Daybreak Chronicles is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Ganyu's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage, Royal Bow and The First Great Magic come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Ganyu, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Blizzard Strayer on Ganyu, with Finale of the Deep Galleries and A Day Carved From Rising Winds behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Cryo DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge.
Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Ganyu, Emilie, Xiangling and Bennett, built around Ganyu: Dendro · Melt.
Ganyu's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
The Daybreak Chronicles is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star bow with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Royal Bow is the best 4-star alternative.
Blizzard Strayer. Its 2-piece bonus is: Cryo DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%.
