How this build was derivedNingguang’s kit multiplies ATK, read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst rather than from the ability prose. Weapons and artifact sets below are ranked on whether their stat and their passive text act on that stat. This is a reading of the game’s own numbers, not a community tier consensus — a set that wins a niche team composition will not show up here.

Ningguang build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

Vivid Notions is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Ningguang's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Reliquary of Truth, Royal Grimoire and Nocturne's Curtain Call come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Ningguang, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Archaic Petra on Ningguang, with A Day Carved From Rising Winds and Disenchantment in Deep Shadow behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Geo 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 40 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
