Ganyu Genshin Impact Skills

The character Ganyu in Genshin Impact has Cryo power. She is an archer. Her normal attack is called Liutian Archery that lets Ganyu shoot the arrow with cryo element to the target. The base hit damage of this attack will increase when you level up Ganyu. Besides, she has two other powerful skills, including Trail of the Qilin and Celestial Shower.

1. Elemental skill and Elemental burst

When using the elemental skill Trail of the Qilin, Ganyu freezes the enemies with an ice lotus and steps back quickly. This skill causes double damage to the enemies in comparison with Liutian Archery skill. Moreover, the ice lotus also distracts the enemies and lets her attack them without having to dodge enemies' attacks. When enemies break the lotus, it explodes and causes damage on a large scale.

Ganyu Banner Event

When is Genshin Impact Ganyu banner?

Apparently, the only way to get Ganyu is through pulling from her banner. The latest time she was featured was from January 12 to February 2 earlier this year.

Players will need to wait until another banner rolls out and features her as one of the characters.

Are you guaranteed to get Ganyu via banner?

Not quite. Even if you do pulls from her banner, it is not guaranteed that you can 100% get her. Luckily, the game does have a mercy system.

If you make 89 attempts and not receiving a 5-star reward, you will surely be granted a 5-star item on the 90th pull. This star item has a 50% opportunity to be Ganyu.

In case Ganyu was not in that first pity pull, the next 5-star would be. This means you will need a maximum of 180 wishes to obtain her.

Moreover, if you joined an earlier event banner with no 5-star character, your progress can carry over to the banner of Ganyu.
