Best Genshin Impact Ningguang Build
The following are the weapons and artifacts that we can recommend for Ningguang.
Best Weapons
Memory of Dust is one of the best weapons that we can recommend for Ningguang. This is a 5-star weapon, so you will need to spend your Primogems on the weapons banner in order to get it. The bonus stat of the weapon is attack%. It increases shield strength by 20%. Hitting enemies with the weapon increases attack by 4% for 8 seconds. While protected by a shield, this effect is increased by 100%. The weapon is on the Childe banner as part of Genshin Impact update 2.2. So you can get it now if you want it.
Prototype Amber is an alternative 4-star weapon that we can recommend if you are not interested in spending all those Primogems on the weapon banner and wishing for a 5-star weapon. It has HP% as the bonus stat. Using an elemental burst gives you 4 energy every 2 seconds for a total of 6 seconds. Furthermore, all members of the party are going to get 4% HP every 2 seconds for this duration of time.
If you are going for an elemental sub DPS build then we can also recommend the Skyward Atlas. The weapon has attack% as the bonus stat. It increases the elemental damage bonus by 12%. When you attack there is a 15% chance of earning the favor of clouds, which si going to seek enemies and deal 160% attack damage. This effect can only take place once every 30 seconds.
Another great 4-star alternative is Solar Pearl. It has crit rate as the bonus stat which is great if you are looking to hit hard. Normal attacks increase elemental skill and elemental burst damage by 20% for 6 seconds. Furthermore, elemental skill and elemental burst hits increase normal attack damage by 20% as well.
Best Artifacts
Archaic Petra is the best set for Ningguang. It increases geo damage bonus by 15% and when you get an elemental shard all party members get a 35% damage bonus for the specific element for 10 seconds. We do recommend using 2-piece Archaic Petra and 2-piece Noblesse Oblige. This is going to give you a 15% geo damage bonus and a 20% elemental burst damage bonus.
