Cover-Credits:
Ganyu is set to make a return to Genshin Impact for her rerun in patch 3.6, according to leaks, and we might also see the return of Nahida and Cyno. If you have been waiting for a Ganyu rerun, you will get the chance to pull for her very soon if the leaks are accurate. Here’s everything you need to know about Ganyu’s talents, constellations and passives.
Genshin Impact 3.6 Ganyu: Should you pull?
Ganyu is competing for your primogems with yet another heavy hitter, Nahida. If you already have Ayaka who is available right now on the banner, you might want to go for her instead and pull for Nahida next patch. Ganyu is a very strong Cryo DPS and makes overworld exploration a breeze thanks to the ridiculous multipliers on her Charged Shots. She is a great pickup and worth the Primogems. But her playstyle is something not everyone enjoys so you should try her out in the Test Run before deciding.
Genshin Impact 3.6 Ganyu: Talents
Ganyu performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, an icy aura will accumulate on the arrowhead before the arrow is fired. Has different effects based on how long the energy has been charged:

Charge Level 2: Fires off a Frostflake Arrow that deals Cryo DMG. The Frostflake Arrow blooms after hitting its target, dealing AoE Cryo DMG.
Elemental Skill - Trail of the Qilin: Leaving a single Ice Lotus behind, Ganyu dashes backward, shunning all impurity and dealing AoE Cryo DMG.
