Genshin Impact 4★ Geo Catalyst Main DPS
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.
The strongest team is Xiao, Jean, Ningguang and Zhongli, built around Ningguang: Geo · Swirl.
Ningguang'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.
Vivid Notions is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star catalyst with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Royal Grimoire is the best 4-star alternative.
Archaic Petra. Its 2-piece bonus is: Gain a 15% Geo DMG Bonus. Its 4-piece bonus is: Upon obtaining an Elemental Shard created through Crystallize or triggering a Lunar-Crystallize reaction, all party members gain a 35% DMG Bonus for that particular element for 10s. Only one form of Elemental DMG Bonus can be gained in this manner at any one time.
