What it costs to finish this character

1,350

resin, level 1 → 90 and all three talents to 10

2,072,500

mora

days at a minimum, if you spend nothing else

Ascension alone: 760 resin (boss drops only) · talents alone: 590 resin.

Talent domain: Diligence, open Tuesday, Friday, Sunday.

A Crown of Insight is needed for the tenth level of each talent, and crowns are not farmable at any resin price — they come from events.

Materials and mora above are exact, straight from the game’s own tables. The resin figure and the day count divide by an average drop per run, which the game does not publish — they are a community-measured mean, not a promise.

Celestial Shower

Coalesces atmospheric frost and snow to summon a Sacred Cryo Pearl that exorcises evil.

During its ability duration, the Sacred Cryo Pearl will continuously rain down shards of ice, striking opponents within an AoE and dealing Cryo DMG.

Ganyu can bring down sweet rains as a matter of course. But against demons and heretics, they become bitter, freezing snow.

Weapons and artifacts

UNSURE This is not a tier list and not community guidance — this product has neither. It is a mechanical shortlist, and the rule is printed so you can check it: Bows of 4★ and above whose secondary stat is one this character’s ascension stat scales with, ordered by base attack at level 90. Weapon passives are not weighed, because a passive is an effect and not a number.

Weapons of the right type and stat
Weapon	Rarity	Base ATK at 90	Secondary stat
Skyward Harp	5★	674	CRIT Rate
The Daybreak Chronicles	5★	674	CRIT DMG
Amos' Bow	5★	608	ATK%
Polar Star	5★	608	CRIT Rate
Thundering Pulse	5★	608	CRIT DMG
The First Great Magic	5★	608	CRIT DMG
Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage	5★	608	CRIT DMG
Aqua Simulacra	5★	542	CRIT DMG

Sets whose two-piece bonus raises this character’s Cryo damage or the stat they ascend into
Set	Two-piece	Four-piece
Blizzard Strayer	Cryo DMG Bonus +15%	When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%.
Finale of the Deep Galleries	Cryo DMG Bonus +15%	When the equipping character has 0 Elemental Energy, Normal Attack DMG is increased by 60% and Elemental Burst DMG is increased by 60%. After the equipping character deals Normal Attack DMG, the aforementioned Elemental Burst effect will stop applying for 6s. After the equipping character deals Elemental Burst DMG, the aforementioned Normal Attack effect will stop applying for 6s. This effect can trigger even if the equipping character is off the field.

To turn this into a real recommendation section, add a build dataset — per character, the weapons and sets a community source actually recommends, with the rotation each assumes. Nothing in the game’s published data contains that judgement, and a ranking invented here would be indistinguishable from a researched one, which is why there is not one.

Teams

To build a team section, add team data. Which characters go together is judgement about rotations, energy and shielding that this product does not receive and will not guess at.
