Genshin Impact Ganyu Skills, Talents, and Ascension

Ganyu is currently a 5 Star Cryo element user who uses a bow. This lady first appears in the Archon Quests Chapter 1, Act 2: Farewell, the Archaic Lord. If you haven't reached her in the story yet, she works as the secretary for Ningguang, otherwise known as Lady Qixing.
