If you prefer a DPS burst build, we recommend the 4 piece Noblesse Oblige set.

• Skyward Atlas: In addition to increasing the ATKNormal attacks have a 50% chance of generating an attack that does 160% of the damage of ATK ;
• Memory of Dust: This is the best weapon to equip on Ningguang if you play it with a character who can place shields (Zhonglifor example). The gain of ATK will be even more important;

How to play Ningguang in Genshin Impact ?

Ningguang is played as a main DPS or burst DPS. She can do a lot of damage with her charged attacks, but also with her elemental rampage. We detail her gameplay.

Each time one of Ningguang's normal attacks hits an enemy, she gets a Star Jade (up to a maximum of 3). You will be able to throw them while performing a charged attack and thus cause a maximum of damage. To attack faster, the trick is to hold down the forward key while you attack.

Thanks to the Backup Plan passive, Ningguang's charged attack will not consume stamina if it holds Star Jades. Our advice is to launch two normal attacks, then one charged attack.

Deploy the Jade Screen with Ningguang's elemental attack as often as possible. It inflicts DMG Area Geo and blocks enemy projectiles. Its resistance is calculated according to Ningguang's maximum HP. It counts as a Geo construct, but cannot be climbed.

The Strategic Reserve passive grants a 12% bonus to DMG Geo for 10 seconds to characters who cross the Astrolabe Screen. You will be able to boost the damage of Ningguang, but also of your other Geo characters. Always go through first before attacking.

Finally, with Starshatter elemental rampage, Ningguang projects precious jades around her. They cause significant Geo damage. If the Astrolabe Screen is deployed, it triggers additional fire.

To play Ningguang as a main DPS, you will need to level up his 3 attacks. For a burst DPS role, you will mostly use his elemental ability and elemental rampage.

The heroine Geo does better as a single target, unless you group the enemies with an anemo character like Venti beforehand. On the other hand, her attacks are quite slow.

What are the best Genshin Impact Ningguang constellations ?

To take advantage of Genshin Impact Ningguang full potential, some constellations will be particularly useful:

• C1 Piercing Fragments allows you to inflict area damage with Ningguang's normal attacks;
• Shock Effect (C2) resets the cooldown of Ningguang's screen when it is destroyed.

And with her sixth constellation, Grandeur be the Seven Stars, Ningguang immediately acquires 7 Star Jades when she performs her elemental rampage. Her charged attacks will do a lot of damage.

Which team should Ningguang play in?

Ningguang is a pretty flexible character. You can play her in many teams. Our advice is to pair her with another Geo character to activate Geo Resonance. Characters under the protection of a shield will do 15% more damage.

Here are several powerful combinations to play Ningguang in Genshin Impact:

• Ningguang / Zhongli / Xiangling / Bennett: you will boost the ATK of your characters with the Pyro resonance while inflicting additional damage ;
• Ningguang / Jean / Beidou / Fischl: in this configuration, you will be able to generate continuous Electro damage in addition to Ningguang damage and will take advantage of the elemental reaction Crystallization to generate shields;
• Hu Tao / Xingqiu / Ningguang / Zhongli: In this team, Ningguang is played as a DPS burst.

How old and tall is Ningguang Genshin Impact ?

Ningguang is about 25 years old. She is one of the tallest female characters of Genshin Impact at 1m80. The young woman has a baffling perspicacity, which allowed her to become the best trader of Liyue, but also the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing.

That's it for our tips and tricks in this Genshin Impact Ningguang guide. The heroine Geo is a good 4-star main DPS. Even though her base ATK is quite low, she can do a lot of damage with the right build. In addition, Ningguang is particularly useful in exploration when she is part of your team, as she indicates the ores around you on your mini-map.
