Ganyu Rerun: Is the Cryo Queen Coming Back to Genshin Impact?
Alright, Travelers! You might wonder: “When is Ganyu coming back?” You want the serene Secretary of the Liyue Qixing on your team, right? Let’s explore Ganyu’s rerun potential and everything else about this frosty archer.
Will the Cocogoat Grace Us With a Rerun?
The big question! Will Ganyu rerun? In Genshin Impact, nothing is assured, except for Paimon’s appetite. Past patterns guide us. Characters often have their first rerun banners 6 to 8 months after debut. Some, like
To understand Ganyu’s banner history, rewind a bit. Ganyu debuted in
How to Possibly Snag Ganyu (When She’s Available)
Let’s be clear: you can get Ganyu only when her Character Event Wish banner is active. No secret areas in Teyvat exist to just *find* a Ganyu. When her banner drops, use your precious Primogems (or your credit card) to wish on it. Each banner typically lasts three weeks before changing. Remember, getting a specific 5-star character like Ganyu isn’t easy. The base rate for any 5-star is merely 0.6%. If you pull a 5-star on a featured banner, there’s a 50% chance it’ll be Ganyu. Forbes even covered the odds of pulling Ganyu upon her initial banner release if you want to explore the numbers.
More Than Just a Pretty Face: Getting to Know Ganyu
Now, let’s appreciate the Cryo queen herself. Ganyu isn’t just about freezing foes; she has deep lore and a distinctive design.
Ganyu: Half-Qilin, All Adeptus
Ever wondered about Ganyu? She’s not fully human. Ganyu is a Human-Qilin hybrid. She’s part human and part qilin. If you don’t know, a Qilin is a mythical creature from East Asian cultures. Mihoyo drew inspiration from this tradition for Ganyu. Her hybrid nature explains her horns and unique traits.
About those horns: yes, Ganyu’s horns are real! She sometimes tries to mask them as hair ornaments (denial exists in Liyue). Those black and red horns curve back, complementing her long blue ponytail. And yes, she sports a single tail too.
Ancient History and Modern Overwork
Ganyu is old. Really old. While her exact age is secretive, she’s over 3000 years old, making her the oldest non-Archon character. She was present during the Archon War! While
In her old age and wartime past, Ganyu now works diligently as General Secretary of the Liyue Qixing. She has an incredible work ethic and dedication. She often works overtime. This effort connects to the bell she wears; it aids in smooth operations, reflecting her workaholic nature.
Vegetarian Adeptus and Sleepy Secretary
Avoid offering Ganyu meat! She’s a strict vegetarian. She also dodges milk and eggs, as indicated in the “Spices From the West” event. Instead of meat, Ganyu munches on flowers, especially Glaze Lilies, linking her to Liyue’s flora. This may explain her confusion over
This work takes a toll. Ganyu often appears sleepy. Her Adeptus nature allows long sleeps for recharging, but her workload leaves her tired. It’s a relatable struggle for those burning the midnight oil (or glaze lily, in her case).
Unexpected Strength and Hidden Insecurities
Do not let Ganyu’s gentle nature mislead you; she’s powerful. During the Archon War, it’s said she once choked a giant monster to death after it tried swallowing her whole! The beast underestimated her waistline. It’s a rather unique story, indeed.
Despite her wisdom and power, Ganyu has insecurities. She’s sensitive about her horns, weight, and childhood. Mentioning any makes her flustered. One voice line reveals her fear that, if gaining weight, the Traveler might dislike her – poor Ganyu, we adore you no matter what!
Family and Friends
Ganyu has a close bond with Cloud Retainer. Cloud Retainer acts as an adoptive mother to both Ganyu and
Pronouncing Ganyu’s Name
If you’re unsure, Ganyu’s name is pronounced Gan-yoo, just like in-game. No need for complications!
Ganyu in Gameplay: Is She Worth It?
Beyond her lore and traits, how does Ganyu perform in battle? Short answer: incredibly well. Ganyu holds a reputation as a top-tier DPS character and remains quite F2P-friendly. You don’t need constellations for her to excel; C0 Ganyu handles damage well.
Is it valuable to level her to level 90? It’s a topic for discussion. Many players prefer stopping at level 80/90 or 81/90 for ascension stats. Level 90 demands considerable resources for limited returns. Yet, if you’re a dedicated Ganyu main wanting to optimize, go ahead!
One of her downsides is a low defense and HP. She can be somewhat fragile, making team composition and careful strategies vital. As for weapons, Amos’ Bow is deemed her best signature weapon, perfectly fit for her Charged Attack style. Other 5-star bows can also work effectively. Her signature dish is Prosperous Peace, an exclusive version of Universal Peace you prepare with her.
Some players may find her Charged Attack-focused style somewhat boring. Nevertheless, many view it as satisfying and powerful. Ultimately, finding Ganyu “boring” depends on personal preference.
Ganyu’s Relationships: Polite Indifference and Budding Friendships?
Ganyu’s interactions with others are intriguing. She has a somewhat strained bond with Keqing, initially disapproving of Keqing’s disdain towards Rex Lapis. However, as Keqing’s view changes over time, maybe Ganyu’s will evolve too. Romantically, she gets shipped with various characters, which is typical in the Genshin community. Some hints show a soft spot between her and Xiao, with Xiao even spending time with her.
train her. It could be romantic. Or it might just be adeptus camaraderie. Both interpretations fit.
